Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was walking my dog when another dog barked at him. My dog ran, pulling me with him. I fell to the ground in pain, with my hand still holding the leash. FML
Today, while on a run off campus with my german shepherd, I tried to impress a couple of hot fraternity guys playing football outside of their house. I broke out into a full sprint. I then got tangled in my dog's leash and fell straight in to a parked jeep knocking myself unconscious. FML
Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML
Today, I was walking my dog when I tripped on the leash, dropping his treat bag. He snatched one, looked at me, and ran full speed in the opposite direction. I had to chase him for three blocks, yelling his name. He thought it was a new game. FML
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, I came home on crutches. My dog was immediately afraid of them, and came running towards me, growling and barking. She ran right into me, knocking me over. FML
Today, I was driving home with my girlfriend. As we turned onto our block, she shrieked that our dog was running down the street and into traffic. I jumped out of the moving car and chased him for about a mile, only to give up, go home, and find out it wasn't our dog. FML
Today, my dog chewed through his leash, so I had to take him inside to prevent him from running off. I went to bed. I woke up to torn-up blinds, half-ate sandals, and a very, very anxious cat due to my dog running after her and trying to sniff her butt. FML
Today, the family dog escaped and I ran after her. She started attacking a random dog, so I started clapping and yelling, trying to get her attention. After I got her away, my hands started swelling. I clapped my hands so hard that they're swollen and bruised. FML
Today, I was walking down a path in the woods behind my house when I saw a squirrel. It ran away, but little did I know it wasn't running from me, it was running from the dog that had forced Animal Control to sweep the area. I ended up with stitches in my leg. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

fake. a person running into a vehicle won't dent it. unless they've got hellacious force behind them...being pulled by a dog doesn't count. break a tail light? maybe. dent the steel/aluminum/fiber glass, highly unlikely.

yeah. i'm pretty sure you wouldnt be on here posting that story if your dog is gone and you broke you ribs. you wouldnt be able to retrieve your dog because your ribs are broken and you'd still be in the hospital right now. and you could've said 'your van' instead of 'a van' for it to sound more believable. Nice try though.

...this site exists for unfortunate stories like this. Why NOT post it? As well, this might not have happened today. it's just FML format. Oh, and I'm fairly sure it wasn't THEIR van... just someone's van. The owner might have seen them denting it. Possibilities.

#21 - A person could have enough force to dent a vehicle. This could very well happen. In a full on sprint, like the OP said that they were in, a person could definitely dent the side of the van.

if you broke two ribs, i doubt you'd be able to type this.

that happened to me once when my lab was a year old and couldn't hold back on chasing squirrels. i flew into a tree instead of a van. it's usually unexpected. the dog sees the other animal before you do, and the next thing you know, you're flying. in my case, i couldn't let go of the leash because it was around my wrist... and if you're suddenly falling, your reflexes might not let you drop it anyway :D

#25 - People can still type with two broken ribs. It's possible.

I hate people who can't control their animals... ergo I hate you

You people are incapable of typing with broken ribs? Seriously? But... what happened to your hand if you couldn't untangle it and you stopped suddenly with the dog (still running) attached? did your hand break? the leash break? the collar break? or you go unconscious and thus unable to recall? Seriously. If you have a dog you can't restrain (which you shouldn't) you should train it well enough not to chase things things it shouldn't. Like cars. and cats. and little old ladies. and penguins.

#29 - I would like to see a dog chase a penguin. That would make my day.
