Today, I was studying for a midterm, so I put my computer on the side of my desk to make more room for my books. My roommate came in while I wasn't paying attention and tackle-hugged me from behind - I fell over, knocking my computer out the window. I live on the 8th floor. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was messing around in computer class when somebody called my name from the hall. Trying to be smooth, I tried rolling my chair backwards out into the hall. The wheels wasted no time jamming and sending me crashing face-first into the floor in front of everyone. FML
Today, as I was leaving for my chemistry exam, I stepped on one of the countless sheets of chemistry notes that littered the floor following last night's studying. I managed to slip and knock myself out in my own living room. FML
Today, I was reading on my couch when I noticed my cat trying to escape out of an open window. I leapt up to stop her, but in my panic, I tripped over a coffee table leg, slammed my face into a wall, and knocked over a guitar. My cat, meanwhile, just sauntered down, and went off to the kitchen. FML
Today, my alarm went off. I reached to swat it, missed, slipped, smacked my face on my dresser, and fell on the floor. As I picked myself up off the floor, I hit my head on the open top drawer of my other dresser. In 30 seconds of consciousness, I was attacked by two pieces of furniture. FML
Today, in the middle of the night, I got up to go get some water. When I came back, I was going to flop onto my bed, but I faceplanted into my floor. I'd forgotten that I'd rearranged my room and moved my bed. FML
Today, I fell asleep after finishing my exam. I had a dream I was falling and woke up smashing my face on the desk. Everyone laughed. FML
Today, I got a text message. My phone was sitting on the edge of the bed and set on vibrate, so it fell off. I reached down to grab my phone and fell off the bed. My macbook landed on top of me. I fractured my arm and broke my laptop to read a text from facebook. FML
Today, while my teacher was in the middle of a lecture, I accidentally made it so my laptop would display everything upside down. It took me the rest of class to get it right side up again. FML
Today, after a long day at work, I walked into my room with the lights off and jumped on my bed. At least I would've if I haven't rearranged my room and instead face-planted onto my desk. FML
Today, I was terribly late for class, so I rushed to the classroom door, thinking it was unlocked. I smacked face-first into the glass, and awkwardly fell to the floor. Once I got back up, I peeked through the glass, only to realise it wasn't even my class. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't know about anyone else, but I would never ever put something as valuable as a laptop next to an open window... That's just asking for an accident to happen.

I really hope you had your stuff on a jumpdrive or something and that the hard drive is salvageable! Other than that, your roommate owes you a computer. That sucks! What kind of person runs up and hugs someone without warning?

You were the idiot that put it next to the open window...

The only way this situation could get any funnier is if that computer hit someone in the head.

you probably weren't supposed to have the window open in your dorm, anyway, so double fail! the HVAC systems in most dorms (at least old ones) require the windows to be closed to run correctly.

#29, agreed, it IS a bit late for midterms, but not unheard of. I had a midterm last week, oddly enough. Also, my bet is this didn't happen EXACTLY today. I think it ought to be acceptable for an FML to say "yesterday" or "the other day"...

sucks for you! i had a similar experience cept my laptop fell off an electric piano. a friend was using it at the time and it was their fault so they replaced it

also, if the computer was really heavy, (like if it was a tower or a nice big laptop) why does everyone keep suggesting that a screen would have saved it?? (ie # 23) there might HAVE BEEN a screen, but those flimsy things are designed to keep small things like bugs OUT, not heavy technological items IN.
