Today, I was walking home with my boyfriend. There's a short cut to my house by jumping a fence but he insisted that we take the long way because, "Girls don't jump fences." To prove him wrong, I jumped the fence. I fell and broke my leg. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was on a walk, I saw my boyfriend; since it was raining, I thought it would be romantic to run up to him and kiss him. I ended up breaking his arm because I knocked him over. FML
Today, I broke my leg while trying to show my friend how I broke my other leg. FML
Today, while walking home with my girlfriend we decided to take a shortcut in the woods. After hearing a huge noise, she pushed me and ran. FML
Today, a friend and I attempted to jump the 7-foot high fence around his gated community because he'd left his keys. He made it. I didn’t. My shorts caught on the top of the fence, so I was forced to dangle there on a busy street until my Dad came and helped. But only after taking a picture. FML
Today, while on the roof of my friend's house, I took a shortcut down by jumping onto the roof of his nearby shed. Not only did I go right through it and hurt my arm, I've also received several calls from my friend's dad, demanding I pay for the damage. FML
Today, I was visiting my girlfriend at her house. We heard the door bell ring. She told me to jump out the window thinking it was her dad. I jumped, landed wrong, and got hurt. It turns out we were ding-dong-ditched. FML
Today, I came home to find my little sister had decided to play hopscotch under our carport. Feeling a small childish urge, I decided to hop on one leg to the front door. I tripped and fell, slicing my knee open. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, I fell down a set of stairs while going into my basement. With a horrible pain in my left leg, I called out to my boyfriend to help me. Apparently a commercial about grass was more important. FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend came over to visit. Being nice, I let him walk down the stairs first, following after him. I still managed to reach the bottom before he did; after taking one step, I lost my footing and fell all the way down, scraping the skin off my arms and legs, and bruising my butt. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Your boyfriend might've just wanted to spend more time with you by taking the long way! I would've done what he suggested, because it would've been more fun, and you wouldn't have broken your leg haha :P

ouch...
hayyyyleyyyybaby_fml 14
It's kinda sweet he wanted to go the long way so you wouldn't have to jump the fence. Kinda...
L_Lovegood 19
They way he said it, it isn't sweet, but sexist.
hayyyyleyyyybaby_fml 14
Unless he's the kinda, "I'm gonna lay my coat over the puddle so you don't get your feet wet" guy.

Or unless he's the kinda " you're gonna fall and break your leg" guy.

Well at least you learnt that girls cant jump after all
KM96 24
Girls can! Just that this situation had a bad outcome …
wallandpiece 16
Ah, that's a bit sexist.

I think he might have meant it's improper for a lady (girl) to jump a fence, if he meant in general he would have said "girls can't jump." buuuuuttttt I may be wrong, that's just what I got from it.

Baustigt, that was sexist. I can't believe you said that wasn't sexist, you sexist SOB.

I believe 61 was a sarcastic response in support of Baustigt

I think it's pretty funny that if anyone rammed a joke about a girl not being able to do something it's viewed as sexist. Because if the roles were reversed, no one would care.

Atleast we learned boys can't have proper grammer if their lives depended on it.
JokersHQ 21
Part of it too is that there are people out there who are actually sexist and do day things like this quite often, leading to very angry people trying to prove the sexists wrong in not the best ways
dragonrider1959 18
More sexism

well, you technically jumped the fence, bravo!

Exactly! Now you can tell your boyfriend to say "Girl's can't jump fences... Well"

So if I said "Boy's don't climb trees" and one particular boy couldn't, does that mean all boys can't?
music_woman1 11
Good for you for trying to prove him wrong! It's too bad that you broke your leg but at least you tried, eh? Fyl, op, hope your recover soon :) x
ladyLALAA 29
Yeah, in 6-8 weeks time! OP, you're lucky your bf cares that much, mine would probably jump the fence on his own and leave me to walk the long way! However, don't forget a ruler to scratch those itches!

He didn't say girls can't jump, just that they don't. He might've thought she had the ability until she idiotically proved she didn't. It's a bit weird that many of my friends wonder where chivalry went then complain when men have notions of what ladies ought not do. He phrased it badly but the advise was obviously sound. For all we know, it could've been a really high fence that he didn't even want to jump. OP, I'll say FYL because broken legs hurt but next time, don't feel the need to prove you're a stuntwoman.

totaly true i wish girls would think more deep into things rather taking it as an insult
imseksie 0
Uhh if I said the same to you, wouldn't you take it as an insult?
NoReservations 9
Don't guys generally complain that girls read too much into what they say? They should take their own advice and say what they mean.
JennyyMeepMonroe 10
I agree with you totally but, he was being somewhat sexist maybe that's why he jumped the fence. xD Both genders can do whatever they set their mind to. Anyways she shouldn't of jumped it to prove a point and she could of just spent more time with him xD
JennyyMeepMonroe 10
I meant *he, I'm mobile sorry xD
JennyyMeepMonroe 10
She! That is what I meant, I'm so sorry, soon I'm going to be writing a FML if I keep these typos up xD

You FAIL at trespassing...

Your tattoo fails. Real bad.

nephilim241 19
Thankyou 31 :) I guess he ran out of clever responses.. Or enjoys jumping over people's fences

tony1891 22
That's why....girls shouldn't jump fences.
Mister_Triangle 21
In my experience, girls ARE really shitty at jumping fences. So this FML is scientifically accurate.
heyyhowsitgoing 9
133 I jump fences all the time and I've never been hurt.
Mister_Triangle 21
You're also on the Internet, therefore not actually a real girl.
heyyhowsitgoing 9
I can promise you I am a girl, and I am real, and if I was a male, why would I pretend to be a girl?

Thanks a lot. Sincerely, Every girl everywhere

I can't jump fences either. It's too damn high.
minkatte 1
It's not hard at all. Most fences have three horizontal support slats placed at equal distance. You just get a grip with one foot on the middle one and hoist yourself on top. Then you can jump down or whatever you wanted to be up there for in the first place. It's really incredibly simple, I don't understand how a girl literally is incapable of jumping a fence. I have been doing it since i was a little girl myself.
iloveturtlez 4
119- same with me :P it's not that hard but not everyone can jump over. Same with some guys I know...
gracehi 33
I thought it was just white men that couldn't jump. Silly me, I guess!
emba_fml 13
lol white people thumbing you down
gracehi 33
White people who have never seen the movie, "White Men Can't Jump." (Yes, that is the real title of a real movie.) Honestly, I'm just impressed that no one accused me of being racist.
laden_swallow09 35
I'm white and I got the reference. Had Eddie Murphy, yeah? It's been too long to remember for certain.
unknown_user5566 27
100- Is it really racism if it's a fact? ;)
