Today, I was sucking on a candy and I began choking. A coworker rushed over to give me the Heimlich maneuver. That freed the candy from my throat, and also the shit from my bowels. FML
NYM88 tells us more.

OP here. Firstly for those who automatically assumed my coworker was a male, you've made an ass out of you and supposedly me too. Secondly for those saying that they shouldn't have done the Heimlich maneuver and should have hit me on the back.. You've again made assumptions based on a lack of information. Unfortunately you are limited to the amount of characters your FML can be composed of so I had to leave out details. My coworker she first asked me if I could breathe, when I shook my head no, she gave a few thrusts with her palm to my back between the shoulder blades and when that failed to dislodge the candy she told me she was going to perform the Heimlich maneuver and I nodded and when she did she got it out in the first try thankfully and my ribs I think are still a bit tender from, I'd guess, bruising. And to those that said thankfully I'm alive.. Thanks, I am glad I am too even though cleaning up wasn't something I was glad about!

So, you're picky about how your life gets saved? First step would to stop inhaling candies.

******** your pants is a million times better than dying from choking.

Especially since you'd still shit your pants from dying anyways.

Well, on the bright side at least they were able to dislodge it. I hope you were able to get home and change quickly (I'm also in Manitoba and the snow made my drive home yesterday and today pretty awful, but I can imagine with shitty pants it would be infinitely worse).

Driving in the snow was definitely not the worst part of the drive home D:

I meant being stuck in traffic with shitty pants is worse than a quick drive home in shitty pants.

He should have slapped you five time in the back first. Most of the time it's enough. But well he saved you.

Sounds like you just reenacted a scene from the book Choke.
