Today, I was taking my phone out of my pocket when it caught on the fabric and began to fall. I managed to catch it, but also smacked myself in the balls in the process. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I accidentally slapped myself in the face with my belt when I pulled it from my belt loops too quickly. FML
Today, to keep my phone safe while I went on some rides, I took it out of my pocket so I could put it in my bag. Just as I pulled it out, a woman ran into me, knocking my phone to the ground and breaking the screen. FML
Today, my smartphone fell out of my cargo shorts pocket onto the floor of my friend's car. I didn't even notice until he drove me home, where I noticed that the pocket was empty. FML
Today, I was on a packed bus when my phone rang. I tried to answer, but my wired earbuds got tangled. I tugged too hard, yanking my phone out of my hand. It flew forward, smacked a man in the forehead, then bounced into a stranger’s coffee cup. FML
Today, I was finishing up at the gym and packed my bag to come home. I set my phone on top of it for a second as I knelt down to tie my shoes. Less than a minute later, I grabbed my bag to walk out, forgetting that it was on top. It tumbled to the ground and smashed. Guess I need a new phone. FML
Today, I was on my phone while it was charging. My hands fumbled a bit, and my phone slipped out of my fingers. Thinking quickly, I grabbed it by the charging cable to save it. The cable unplugged, and my phone now has a pretty crack on the screen from hitting the tile floor. FML
Today, I was at work, when I got bored and started spinning around in my chair for a little fun. As I was spinning, I went to grab my phone. I missed and sent my phone flying, hitting my coworker in the face. My boss witnessed the whole thing. FML
Today, I checked my jacket pocket for my smartphone, all while still holding my smartphone. FML
Today, as I tried to get out of bed, I got my foot tangled in my sheets. I reached out to my dresser to avoid falling flat on my face. I didn't fall, but I did manage to smash my fingers in the drawer while still trapped in the sheets. FML
Today, I went surfing, got a few rides, then realized I had my phone in my pocket. FML

So the conspiracy theorists were right: cell phones CAN cause infertility! I'm sure THIS is exactly what they were talking about.

Look at the bright side. You could have hit your balls and broke your phone. Also hurt ball don't cost as much as a new phone.

You made the right "call" At this point, my phone is more important to me than my balls?

Shhhhh. Don't let the man know you know! He might take you away and brain wash you with bleach! You should protect yourself with tinfoil whenever you're near a phone, and maybe even when your not. You never know when someone might walk by.

It actually can, but it's not that big of a deal.

But you get a new phone every year or two. My balls have to last a lifetime.

As I am a developing young man, I can state that a swift smack to the tiddly bits does hurt. A lot.

How is this an FML. The tatters this website has been left in genuinely makes me sad. If a moron smacking their nuts trying to catch a phone, just like a hundred other morons, is worthy of being considered an FML, then I really must applaud the site for truly giving up on itself.

Glad it's not just me... lots of genuine FML's, but then there are the ones that are basically, 'this morning my cat walked past me and caused me to stub my toe on a roll of toilet paper. FML.'

Damaged balls or damaged phone? Seems like life made this decision for you OP.

Why can I relate to this so dang well...

As much as that sucks, this is hardly noteworthy. I don't forsee you confiding to your future therapist about the day you smacked yourself in the nuts. The momentary pain will be forgotten, fyl. But shame on those moderators who thought to publish this crap!
