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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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
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
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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.

If you put a gash in his head, I'd understand him running off the stage, sans the cussing. But it sounds like the swords weren't that sharp (duh), so he had no reason to do what he had. I feel for you. You probably had no idea who most of the people were, and having that happen to you in front of any number of people is scary, especially if you have to finish the scene by improvising. To the person saying that they've preformed in front of 3,000 people, try making that INNOCENT MISTAKE and having your co star run off. Just think, 3,000 people staring at you, judging you, no less. Though I doubt that's happened to you, because anyone with that sense of sympathy an judgement would hardly strike a chord in the casting director as someone they'd like to have representing their drama department. So give OP a break, it can happen to anyone. OP, it sounds like you came out of this fairly unscathed, so I salute you for finding a solution to the problem that didn't make you look as bad as your co star, though I doubt you would've anyway. By the way, congrats on getting a part in your play, a part with a fighting scene no less! OK, rant over.

HAHA, Try doing it in front of 500 people, then you can complain, about your mistake, and your stage-mate being an ass. It's only 50 people.

in acting your suppose to go with it. not clearly announce to the audience that something wrong just went down. I hope your director/producer bitched him out for doing that.

50? That's terrible. My high school plays have terribly planning and we have a hundred or more each night.
