Today, I was sword fighting in a play when I accidentally hit the other person in the head. He called me a bitch and stormed off stage, leaving me alone with an audience of 50. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was in a play and had a battle scene. I got a little too into it and wound up twisting my ankle. The audience was treated to me screaming like a little girl before face-planting the stage a moment later. FML
Today, I had a theatre performance. I had to put on a lot of makeup for the role, and one of the guys said I looked nice. I smiled and said thanks. Seconds later, I'd been sucker-punched by his girlfriend for "flirting" with her man. FML
Today, I co-starred in a production of Hamlet. Halfway through play, the actor playing Hamlet forgot his lines, threw a raging temper tantrum, screaming about how much he hated the play and how he wanted to go home in front of hundreds of audience members. FML
Today, in an amphitheater, someone hit the back of my head. As I turned around, the guy apologized and said he mistook me for his friend. I changed seats, and after a while, I got hit a second time. He was wrong again. FML
Inappropriate Billy Joel
Today, I performed a piano piece at a school play. Everything went well until I got up and accidentally smashed my shin against one of the piano legs. Before I could bite my tongue, I'd already yelled "Fucking hell!" in front of about 50 second graders. FML
Do as I say…
Today, I was stage-managing a school show. Some kids were goofing off backstage, so I yelled at them that they could hurt themselves. While walking back to my chair, I tripped over my own feet and fell 5 feet off the stage, shattering my cheekbone. FML
Today, I was singing and playing keyboards with my band on stage at a club. A drunken chick from the crowd tried to climb up onto the stage in her heels, fell, and grabbed the back of my mic stand to catch herself. And busted me in the mouth with my own microphone. Then she requested a song. FML
Curtain call
Today, I was part of a community theater play as a prop helper. I was supposed to slide a fake letter under a door, but I got overenthusiastic and kicked it into the audience. The actor improvised, but the crowd laughed harder at my blunder than the actual play. FML
Today, as part of my job as a performer, I had to show off my skills with a switchblade in front of an audience. A kid shot a rubber band at me. I then needed stitches. FML
Today, I saw a fight so I went over to try and break it up. Someone thought I wanted to join in, so he gave me an unexpected whap in the happy sacks, and I also got a bloody nose for my troubles. FML

Why is he mad? I thought the point of sword fighting was to hit each others "heads". Jeez I guess I've been doing it wrong.

Don't play with knives!

a sword is not a knife because a knife is a kitchen utensil. it's a weapon. and therefore hitting other people with it is more funny becuase it hurts more. and at least t wasn't real or OP would proooobably be wanted for murder. on the bright side he couldn't call u a bitch and run off :) use a real one next time

15. you are dumb a sword and a knife are the same exact thing the only difference is the color swords are green knives are grey learn your facts before saying anything
hsnorthjonathan 6

Not that you should really need a sarcasm smiley, in this situation anyway. I guess common sense just isn't so common these days.

That's why you don't hit people on the head with your sword. Try doing a sneak attack from behind

we would have understood the sarcasm, if it was actually funny

Sarcasm doesn't need to be funny to understand. And that was some painfully obvious sarcasm.

knives aren't only kitchen utensils dumbfucks

I'm not an idiot, there are some seriously stupid people out there. So, it's difficult to tell between sarcasm and seriousness without you hearing the person say it.

op should have started improvising ( you are an actor after all ) and stole the show.

maybe if you were better with stage combat and swords, you would have had a bigger audience. 50 is just SAD. my high school plays had more tech on our plays then your entire audience.
boygeorgebaby 0
Yeah, I agree. My MIDDLE SCHOOL SHOWS had over 100 people every night!
NineFishMffns_fml 0
Coming from a VERY small town, our high school shows were very small. Not everyone has a 100 people come see a high school play, plus the op might of been averaging it out, dont think they were counting the heads in the audience. Not to mention this doesn't sound like a high school student who stormed off the stage, might of been a spoiled, rotten mouth 8th or 9th grader. I say 9th cause in my town, the 9th grade have their own school. I'm sure we're not the only ones so maybe it's the same with op.
braunwynn 5
lol 100. thats cute. we had a few shows we did in high school that were so popular we had to switch to performing in the universities theater because we would sell out the tickets in a matter of seconds. did a performance in front of nearly 3000 once. as for caring about their age, op is old enough to use the internet without supervision, old enough for a school to allow prop weapons and old enough to have such a naughty mouth. i dont know what part of fairytale town youre from ninefish, but most of the world has pretty dang childish highschoolers. shoot, where im from that could have been a college student!

NineFishMffns_fml 0
Fairytale? In my fairytale town, middle schoolers wouldn't have that mouth, that's why I mentioned it. In our middle school, their mouths are already threatening and cussing at 6th grade, not ALL of them do, but I've seen a lot. And I'm sure that happens a lot everywhere. And yes our high school has immature students, I was saying I wouldn't jump to conclusions it was or was not. I can tell you have a lot of immature people around you, you're clearing trying to impress people about your old high school plays on FML. Now that's "cute".

lmao @ #12... I have a feeling she wasn't playing a lead role in her play. even if you were, GET OVER IT. This fml isn't really about the about of people or the op could have lied, I think it's about how immature and unprofessional her costar acted. THAT being said, F#12L for not having one :)
braunwynn 5
actually the way the costar acted was pretty damn professional for the **** up op did. i say **** the costars life for having to share a stage with someone who is so careless. also, i dont "show off" i was just stating facts. dont suck and a lot ******* more then 50 people will show up for a play.
OceanBreathesSal 5
actually 27, the co star didn't handle that situation professionally because he broke character and didn't handle the situation in character.. do you see people on broadway storming of while calling their co-star a "son of a bitch" if and when you do let me know
braunwynn 5
if someone ****** up so bad as to hit them in the ******* head, they would. when was the last time you went to a broadway show and say professions, trained in stage combat and swords, hit someone in the ******* head and the other person not break character and act like its no big deal?

you suck, high school? grow the **** up.

Bruanwynn is an over confident ass who doesn't understand what acting is. if someone says or does something in a play that wasn't in the script, u don't ******* bitch out on the stage, retard. u freaking keep going like it never happened cuz hell the audience doesn't know ur script but u can't just curse in front of ur audience!!! obviously OP's partner was an asshole who is stupid and can't act for his life, and Brauwynn was being a jerk.

Braunwynn the others have basically already said this, but I'm going to because I just don't like you. If someone is on Broadway, TRAINED in stage combat... Well that's basically the point. They're trained! Also Broadway is their profession, so they better be damn good at what they do. You never see anyone on Broadway screw up because they know how to handle it... Ignore it!!! And I'm not even in theater... Sheesh

30 my brother does plays all the time at his high school, and once he got hit with a machete right above the eyebrow. Only after the play did we take him to the hospital. Now that's how you act professional; not running off stage calling his cast member a bitch. BTW 13 stitches

You know, I just got finished doing a production in my Highschool, playing a major role there was a scene where a fairly heavy book had to fall from a high shelf and next to me. Needless to say, said book landed straight on my head as I was going through a line on a live performance. Want to know what I did? Rubbed my head, made a small quip in character about books, and finished my line like a normal actor would do. So, Braunwynn, please shut your mouth before you sound like a bigger idiot. Thank you. P.S: We averaged at about 70-120 people a night, yet we still got more than 90% of them to laugh all three nights of our production. It's not the amount of people in your audience, if it's the audience that you already have is enjoying it or not.

#27 go away! u r so annoying and no one cares about ur stupid highschool stuff. the co star was overreacting and it would be terrible if anyone had to share the stage with u!
brenz1126 0
has anyone even ******* considered tjat this might be a typo? if op was really an actor he would know that 50 ppl is a bit small. its probably 500.
docscientist 10
It also depends on the stage type, some stages can only handle a small number of audience members.

I'm sorry, but unless you guys are mentally retarded there's no reason you should ever need 50 people to tech a high school show.

I'm sure it wasn't a real sword. Or was a really dull one. That guy sounds like a primadonna/bitch. I don't know what I'd do in that situation, hopefully the audience will just laugh and move on. Let the director give him a nice talk after the show - if people screw up their show, they get pretty pissy. FYL, op. That's really embarassing!

If you're a professional you should've already known you're not allowed to get as high as the head with the weapon. You could've really hurt him, you were lucky he was fine, so don't even dare complaining about your embarassing moment on stage...
braunwynn 5
omg i know right! if it was me i woulda done a lot more then just call her a bitch.
rickolette 0
ON STAGE???? AND RUIN THE WHOLE SHOW CUZ U GOT PISSY???? WHAT KIND OF RETARD ACTOR ARE U???? Obviously not a good one, and hey OP said she hit him on the head by accident. I'm sure it could happen to anyone. OP's partner still overreacted.
fairydust246 0
it was a foam sword..
cmyk 19
it sounds like a school play/ not pro play. that means its either plastic or foam swords. seriously. the guy's primadonna dick for running off like a prissy bitch. and you guys gotta be retards for thinking op is the one screwing up, accidents actually happens! shocking right?!
tmcnatt2012 0
...You're serious right now?...It was a fake sword you idiot. You do NOT use real weapons on stage at the risk of hurting you, the other actors, or anyone around you. it was more than likely plastic and the other guy was just a baby.
