Today, I went to the airport with my mom, who requested a wheelchair for me, since I have a broken leg. I'm 24. Embarrassed, I insisted I push myself around, instead of an airline assistant doing it. A few seconds later, I crash into the same airline assistant, who then falls back into my lap. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while at the airport with a cast on my leg, I fell backwards onto my suitcase. My family was too busy to notice my squirming as I tried to get up, so a kind woman awkwardly helped me off the ground. Later on, I found out my dad saw me but thought someone would help me "soon enough." FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Today, I managed to break my ankle by running it over with the wheelchair I've used on a daily basis for the last 6 years. 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 was getting onto an airplane and happened to admire the stewardess. I was walking onto the plane and was just about to talk to her when my foot slipped into the crack between the boarding ramp and the plane. Not only did she laugh as I limped to my seat but now I have bruised nuts. FML
Today, my parents told me that I'm going on our upcoming family vacation and that's final. I broke both my legs in an accident and have to use a wheelchair. I"m in constant pain and don't want to go anywhere. FML
Today, I helped an elderly woman carry her suitcase down a flight of stairs. When I got to the bottom, a man tackled me to the ground thinking I was stealing the woman's luggage. As I lay in pain, he ran up the stairs to return the suitcase and the poor woman had to carry it down on her own. FML
Today, I got on the subway with a broken leg. A kind woman stood up and offered me her seat. Before I could sit down, a guy shoved past me and took it for himself. The woman and I pointed out my cast and crutches, and asked him to give up the seat. He responded by flipping us off. FML
Today, it was a normal day working as a medical receptionist, until I told a wheelchair-bound patient to “take a seat” out of habit. She responded with, “I brought my own!” I have never felt more embarrassed. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs at college. I was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle and had to call my parents to drive me home. They constantly made passive-aggressive remarks on the way home, because I'd "totally ruined" their plans to eat out at a fancy restaurant tonight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Bring on the idiots who will say "Karma is a bitch" OP, it's good to be independent, but it's also OK to accept help. Try and accept help, whenever it's necessary. There are a lot of people in this world, not willing to help at all.

NICE JOB
mrahhhhh 21
True. OP just because people who have spent many years of their lives in wheelchairs make it look easy doesn't mean it is. I can see your dumb ass struggling to get up a gentle slope on that thing.

Not an fml. **** you, OP.

dumbass assistant, he should've insisted no matter what and remain at your side UNTIL you're seated. if you were someone else, you would've sued. I mean, it's his job to ensure your safety while avoiding lawsuit.

who the **** can't control a wheelchair?

Laughable #63. You can't force a customer to be reliant on no-one, especially if he explicitly wishes to do so. If you shave in the airplane (for whatever reason) and you cut yourself, does it give you a right to sue the airlines for not watching while you were in the latrine? What about when you pee your trousers? Get the money off them because they didn't warn you that when you pee seated in your seat you will pee your trousers? Shame on you.

I needed help today. went out on rollerblades for the first time :P...never doing that in a public place. Everyone I know saw me, and I just saw someone facebooked about me trying to get up a hill :P I would consider it FML worthy if there wasn't already FMLs that were a bit lame.

Your age has nothing to do with whether or not you need wheelchair assistance because of a broken leg...
HAV1K_666 0
exactly.
TheIrishJaneDoe 9
Yeah, but people still give you dirty looks if you're young and otherwise look healthy. Apparently, needing help is automatically equated with laziness in some minds. =

is that how you make your moves on women? haha Let me guess, you talked about the first thing that popped up?

I was walkig past an ATM yesterday when the couple who were withdrawing money lost it to the wind. It went all over. I couldn't work out what to do, whether to help them or just walk straight through or whatever. :/ In the end I helped since everyone else stopped, and saved £90 from the wind for them :) (true story) :]

I wish the feeling was mutual. :X
sourgirl101 29
I'll be happy to see you, if you remembered to bring the "Jagermeister"! I'm going to make you a drink called "Sex with an Alligator". It's a layered drink that we'll drink with a straw and we'll toast to "me" not believing in "Karma" at all.
DocBastard 40
Karma is a bitch. Oh, crap.
sourgirl101 29
Oh hey iicaptain, you're here too? Let me grab an extra glass.(: Docbastard you realized you hiddenly called yourself an idiot right?(: Lol Btw I love the "Princess Bride"!! That movie makes me want to switch poisonous drinks with me enemies.

I could use a stiff drink right about now! Where's Pendatik and Jane?
rallets 23
i got a stiff drink for you right here :O
lajaynay 15
Another win for Pendatik. xD
rallets 23
lmfao..ehh, pretty sure you couldve came up with something better than that maybe next time? :D
FFML_314 12
I would rather drink a tall glass of Smegma, then have anything from you. (Google will give you the definition of Smegma) Besides, I want a man, not a miscreant man who falls /short/ Pendatik, can I share the seat with you? Rallets is getting grabby.
sourgirl101 29
Damn Penatik, no training wheels for you? We gotta slow you down before the party ends too early. Water in between drinks from now on okay? Rallets whatcha got there? 'cause I don't see it (:
rallets 23
meh..jeez you guys are uptight..cant even take a joke :P..always resorting to using a thesaurus to insult lol and yea i already knew what smegma was but i guess im done here ohh great..more vultures lmao bye ladies :D
FFML_314 12
I'm sorry, Rallets. *Reaches out for a hug.* You set yourself up to be insulted, but I truly wasn't meaning what I said. You know that's true, because I never apologize for being mean! Sourgirl, I'm going to sit in your booth. Pendatik was even more grabby.

you guys are extremely gay.. i love what the internet has done
FFML_314 12
Extremely gay? No, I'm only 1/2 gay! Or as you "weird" people would say "bi-sexual" *makes very mad face* How could you tell? Stop listening to my thoughts! I can't help that Sourgirl looks hot. Tough crowd. Tough crowd.
sourgirl101 29
Is that why I have this carpet taste in my mouth?
