Today, I woke up to the rickety old ceiling fan above my bed crashing down on top of me. I'm fine, however I am now grounded until I can buy a new ceiling fan to replace the one I "broke". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my ceiling fan was rocking violently so I turned it off. I stood under it trying to figure out what the problem is, it fell on my face. FML
Today, I found out how painful it is when your ceiling fan falls on you. FML
Today, I fell off the top of my bunk bed in my sleep onto a running fan. FML
Today, just for old time's sake, I decided to jump on my bed. I ended up hitting my head on the spinning fan and knocking myself unconscious. FML
Today, I was moving into my new house. While trying to turn on the light in the bedroom, I realized I couldn't reach the string on the fan. I got a chair, climbed up, reached over, and fell badly. While writhing in agony on the floor, I looked over to see a light switch on the wall. FML
Today, I'm staying at my parents' house. I was woken up by the fan in my bedroom falling down. I calmly picked it back up and went to bed, wondering why my parents weren't concerned at all. My mom said she figured it was nothing, and when my dad tried to say something, she retorted, "You didn't even wake up!" FML
Today, I woke up on the top bunk of my bed with the birds chirping. I felt so energized, I gave a big stretch, and my hand hit the ceiling. I accidentally pushed the ceiling board up and lots of tiny spiders fell on me and my bed. FML
Today, I discovered that I am just tall enough and my hair is just long enough, to get caught in the ceiling fan if I flip it over to dry it. FML
Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML
Today, I attempted a DIY home improvement project: installing a ceiling fan. After hours of sweat and frustration, I managed to hang it up, only to realize I'd installed it upside down. Now, instead of cooling, the fan blades are dangerously close to becoming an unconventional chandelier-slash-helicopter. At least I can say my home decor is truly "uplifting." FML

Just like any celebrity, you have to make sacrifices for your fans, even when they attack you.

I like how you ask how it's OP's fault, and then follow that up with saying "you broke it". That would imply that OP had something to do with it breaking.

Thank you for unneccessarily stating the obvious.

There's no need to argue, parents just don't understand.

Seems like your parents aren't the sharpest tools in the shed

They're just lookin' kind of dumb, with their fingers and their thumbs in the shape of some L's on their foreheads.

Someday you'll be out of their house and you'll never have to deal with your parents tyranny ever again. Sorry you gottah put up with it now though... That's seriously unfair.

Of course it's your fault! You should've known that sleeping under the fan would break it! What else did you expect to happen when your bed is located below the fan? ...FYL.

Your fault cause you're suppose to super glue it back onto the ceiling before anyone noticed.

Come on, everybody knows what teenage boys do in their rooms, and that's what is responsible for 87.5% of all ceiling fan damage.

I thought that was what caused 92% of all broken beds, but I'll take your word on it breaking fans, too.

Right... you're completely innocent, that just fell on its own... right... And the sound of your parents headboard banging on the wall wasn't them having sex either....
