Today, I went out shopping. When I left the store, I saw my ex, who I'm still crazy about. He helped me carry my bags out to the car. When I leaned in to give him a hug goodbye, he stepped aside, and I fell face-first into a puddle. He walked away laughing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was out for a jog when I saw my ex-boyfriend walking towards me. I tried to duck behind a tree to avoid him, but I slipped on a plastic bag and fell into a lovely patch of mud. He saw the whole thing and walked away smirking. FML
Today, I ran into my ex at our local supermarket. Trying to be aloof, I waved casually, but I misjudged the distance and knocked over a display of canned beans. My ex just stood there, laughing, while I scrambled to rearrange up my mess. FML
Today, I was out shopping with my friends when I saw my ex. I instinctively tried to hide by quickly turning around and walking into a store. It was a mirror. I walked straight into my own reflection. FML
Today, I was on a date with a guy and we decided to go see a movie. As we were walking in, I saw my ex-boyfriend with his new girlfriend. I tried to avoid them, but my left heel got caught in a crack in the pavement and I fell face-first onto the ground. My ex and his girlfriend saw me, laughed, and walked off. FML
Today, I dropped my handbag into a water-filled gutter. As I was hurriedly fishing out the contents of my bag, I looked up. There was my ex, with the girl he left me for walking past, timed exactly to coincide with me manically scooping up one of many rapidly absorbing tampons. FML
Today, I ran into my ex at the supermarket. Trying to seem nonchalant, I attempted to make small talk while pushing my cart. I didn't notice that I was steering straight into a tower of canned goods until it was too late. FML
Today, I had to go to the mall for a quick errand. While there one of my friends who works at a phone booth was there and I stayed for a little bit chatting with him. While chatting, a girl passed by. She was so pretty that I blurted out, "What a woman!" out loud. Turns out it was my ex. FML
Today, I went out with my best girl friend to spice up my wardrobe. I recently broke up with my girlfriend, who was constantly flip-flopping from being in love with me to being apathetic towards me. After having a great day, on the way home, my ex pulled up next to our car and I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store. Before I knew what was happening, he'd sniffed me and started whimpering about how I don't smell like I used to. He does this kind of crazy shit all the time. FML
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store, holding hands with his very pregnant girlfriend. They were buying baby supplies. We had a very nasty and painful breakup not even three months ago. FML

I say, YDI, he's your ex, and from what it seems like, you guys aren't close anymore, so why would you go to give him a hug? A simply Thank You I think would have done the job.

OP's really head over heels for the ex, huh? Teehee.

He's cool. I'd like to know why you two broke up.

Right on 88. I would've done the same. I wouldn't let my ex hug me. A simple "thank you" would suffice. Yeah I said it, let your thumbs down rain upon me. I shall not succumb into your ways.

how could you be crazy about an asshat like that- seriously you should have walked after him and tripped him up or atleast brushed yourself off and shouted after him that he has the smallest penis you have ever seen- and that your technically still a virgin- come on peope use other fml as inspiration.
dre_bro11 12
OP, you're better off without him, despite how you feel about it. I can probably imagine it must be tough knowing you used to go out with him and still like him, but by the sounds of it, you can do better.

Fell while trying to give someone a hug? How much body weight did you put into it, because it sounds more like an attempted tackle.

Lol that sucks

Well, it doesn't actually say he didn't help her up. He could've helped her up and then left laughing

Wait how did you go face first in a puddle without using your hands or knees to land first, know what mean?

That comment is funnier than the fml
plum_lovin 28
Maybe he thought she was leaning in for a kiss and wasn't interested.. but either way he shouldn't have been a dick and walked away laughing. He should have helped her, told her "No thanks", gotten in his car, and then laughed his ass off. But still this is what I call... dickishness.
lag96 7
Why would he help, then leave like that?
missyj0 12
To be a douche?
leadman1989 16
Helping someone's one thing but if he knows she's still "crazy" about him and he has a girl friend ge might be uncomfortable hugging... Also laughing doesn't mean out loud and pointing it just might have been hard to hold back.
uridea 14
Maybe he was just being nice and didn't expect a hug. Then when she fell he found it funny since it was unexpected.
amayasoma 19
Even if it was funny, he didn't have to walk away. He could of had the curtesy to help her back up.

Now, that is unfortunate. But get over him.
MagicallyFat 12
Yeah for some people there's always a slight chance of starting bak with your ex. But in this case not a chance. The douche is strong in that one.
indielove 13
Is this a trick question? Obviously she was trying to hug her ex

Smooth...

How did you fall face first into the ground? Isn't that hard to do unless you're very obese?
larrythedeer 6
If op was obese, then she would fall belly first into the ground.
That0therguy 4
You're right, that's why she put in "face-first into a puddle..." her face reached the puddle however.
Notimetobleed 14
I would laugh too, but then help her out and see if she's ok

Mental note : don't go in for a hug with an ex you still like unless they make the first move. Makes it easier to not embarrass yourself.
