Today, I was woken up by the massive earthquake in Samoa. I went downstairs to discover that all the hotel staff had fled and abandoned the hotel guests. I was left to run up to higher ground on foot. It was a three hour hike. By the time I got to a safe spot, the tsunami warning was lifted. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, the workplace evacuation bell sounded. Out of panic after the recent earthquake, I ran down 21 flights of stairs, only to find out it was a false alarm. My legs are on fire, and I can barely walk. FML
Today, I had to wake up my mother as the earthquake alarm rang in my country. This is the second quake in less than a week. FML
Today, I was trying to sleep, when I felt someone rattling my bed from underneath. Petrified from shock, I lied there for what felt like hours, waiting for a murderer to spring out. I must've finally fallen asleep, and when I woke up in the morning, I found out it was a minor earthquake. FML
Today, I was woken up by a loud noise, which I thought was an earthquake. It sounded like a car had driven right into my living room. Which was exactly what it was. FML
Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML
Today, I went for a run in a new pair of shoes that left me with huge blisters. As I finished cleaning them up so they could heal, I limped to my bed to take a nap. I was woken by the fire alarm. My building was having a drill and we couldn't use the elevators. I live on the 9th floor. FML
Today, someone tripped the fire alarm at the hotel I'm currently staying at while I was taking a shit. FML
Today, I woke up in a panic to what sounded like a plane about to crash into my house. I was so scared, I peed myself and passed out. It was just my cell phone vibrating under my pillow. FML
Today, I went tanning on the beach. I found a nice spot close to shore and laid there with my towel and sunglasses. A few hours later, I awoke to waves splashing at me. My towel was soaked and my sunglasses must have washed off the shore. Damn high tide. FML
Today, I woke up to a flooded apartment. Apparently, the upstairs neighbor's bathtub had overflowed and water was pouring through my ceiling. My landlord said he couldn't do anything until the water stopped, so I spent the morning frantically trying to mop up the water while feeling completely helpless. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

**** you. I have actually lived through the Tsunami in south-east Asia when I was younger. FML is supposed to be a funny website, and you turned the fact that people are being harmed and having to flee from danger into a joke. You should be feeling really guilty about that, but you probably don't. You just used this horrible natural disaster as an oppurtunity to get on FML. Go burn in hell.

How the hell is the OP turning it into a joke? Ok, so you lived through the tsunami in 2004. That's great, you're lucky. But you don't have to spaz about someone posting something like this, because they're only writing this BECAUSE there was no tsunami, but thought there was and spent 3 hours trying to get to safe ground. If there had been one, I doubt they'd be on here.

shut up and stop whining. you are just looking for attention, there is nothing wrong with you, so stop acting like an angst-ridden little brat. how is it a joke now?

There's nothing wrong with him being happy he survived, but to post it on FML just means he was looking for attention, and figured this story was totally FML worthy. Either this is fake, or this guy is one of the most insenstive survivors on the planet.

I heard about that. 8.0 earthquake. Glad you are ok.

I think that one was a 7.6. There was one very close by that was an 8.0, and that one DID create a tsunami because it wasn't as deep in the crust as this one was. (This one was about 80 km down vs the other one being only 14km)

So why are you complaining if you're safe..? And why the hell are you on FML instead of trying to help others that may need your hand?

This just proves how lazy teenagers are these days. By 2012 the world will be filled with fat couch potatos. I'm a teenager myself and I have to admit I'm quite lazy, this puts me to shame
