Today, I went ice skating for my friend's birthday. We had to vacate the skating rink so that they could smooth out the rink for the next session. I don't know how to skate and my friends left me. Not only was I the last one out of the rink, but I had to crawl my way out with everyone laughing. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went skating at the local rink. I had a really hard time balancing and was falling all over the place. After everyone had a good laugh, someone finally decided to tell me that one of my blade covers was still on, thanks. FML
Today, I had my first ice skating lesson. I had to wait five years for a rink to open in my town, two weeks for my lessons to begin, but only ten minutes to fall and hit my tailbone so hard that I can't walk. FML
Today, I went ice skating at a place with the most terrible rental skates. Pair 1 was too worn out, pair 2 too small, pair 3 damaged inside. I thought pair 4 was finally a winner, until I got on the ice and realized the blades were fucked. I went flying forward, landed hard, and slid across the ice like a penguin. FML
Today, while ice-skating with my girlfriend, I tried to do what they do in the movies and make her gently fall into my arms. Instead she slipped, fell, and hit her head on the ice. FML
Today, I took my date ice skating, even though I’m terrible at it. I always knew I had shit balance, but I practically spent the entire time clinging to the wall, while she glided gracefully around me like an Olympic skater. At one point, she laughed and said, "You’re graceful like a cat… slipping across a frozen patio!" FML
Today, I tried to go rollerskating with my kids. I wasn’t even able to fully stand up before I fell and broke my leg. FML
Today, I finally give rollerblading a try, since it looked so effortless. I put on all the gear and started skating down the street. Within seconds, I lost control, crashed into a garbage bin, and rolled directly into my neighbor's yard. I was so embarrassed that I just lay there pretending I was "just fine, really" while their dog licked my face. FML
Today, the weather was beautiful, so I decided to go out skating. I guess I took a wrong turn into a bad neighborhood, because I ended up being chased several blocks by a group of jacked-up thugs wielding baseball bats and taunting, "Skate or die, homie!" FML
Today, I was out skating with a guy I really like. I put on my best moves, to impress him. I ended up slicing his lip open with my skate mid-jump. His lip is now wired shut by twelve stitches. FML
Today, I went sledding with my friends. I said I was tired and didn't want to go, but they press-ganged me into it. I ended up sledding right into a tree, fracturing my leg, and scraping up my entire face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Some friends. If I were you, I would have just faked a seizure and voided my bowels on the ice rink so that I would not only make my friends feel bad, but I would ruin the experience for everyone.

And I suppose you came out of your mother's womb with skates stapped on and proceeded to skate around the hospital? Everyone has to learn how to do something, and this guy was trying to learn.

Or saying that you need to xerox something instead of copy it. Oh wait, those are all examples of totally legitimate vernacular.

actually, there are lots of skating rinks that still have ice in the summer. How do you think hockey players practice? By playing ball hockey? I doubt it. They also keep them open for summer camp activities when not being used by hockey players (professional or not).

mylifeis_so_f_ed, There are just... so many things wrong with that statement. First, I don't think the OP wants to miss her friend's birthday party just because she didn't know how to skate. How is she supposed to learn if she doesn't? Second, there are lots of skating rinks that still have ice in the summer. How do you think hockey players practice? They also have private skating lessons in the summer.

haha theres not a lot more humbling, than crawling on your knees to get somewhere cuz you suck at skating... other than having to do that naked, why would you take all of your clothes off in the middle of the rink anyway? thats dumb ydi for taking all your clothes off especially when you knew you can't skate that well, why? it doesn't make sense, well hopefully nobody was getting a hard on for you and if they were good for you. but seriously ydi thats dumb

You were lucky that when you were bent over like that you didn't get Zamboned.

Awesome idea, except you'd have to go home like that. Great idea either way.

That sucks. Next time, leave your friends somewhere without any way of getting back. Let them see how funny that is.
