Today, my mom and dad were arguing. It started getting really heated, so I tried to go break it up. But within a couple of minutes, my mom wanted to make a statement by throwing a plate to the ground, forgetting I was beside her. I now have a throbbing foot with shards of glass in it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was wearing flip flops whilst putting out the trash, and was careful not to step near the broken glass surrounding the trash cans. My mother ran up to me hysterically warning me about the glass, which startled me and caused me to step on a shard, slicing my foot open. FML
Today, my mom bumped into a table with a glass vase on it. Seeing that the vase was about to fall, I lunged to catch it. Before I got there, the vase fell and shattered, resulting in me diving into the broken shards. FML
Today, my mom said my name and startled me so badly, I jumped and dropped the glass I was holding. She still isn’t speaking to me for breaking her favorite glass. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while holding some dirty glasses from my room. I ended up pulling pieces of glass from my body. Meanwhile all my mom cares about is the fact that I broke three of her favorite glasses. FML
Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML
Today, I broke my toe and screamed, "Fuck!" My mom heard and yelled at me for swearing, while I laid on the floor in pain. FML
Today, my mom got blackout drunk and tried to fight me, my stepdad, and my brother, resulting in my stepdad leaving, my brother getting two holes from a metal shelf my mom tried to joust him with, and I got bit. FML
Today, I accidentally broke one of my mom’s favorite glasses while she was away. My dad saw and offered to tell her instead that he broke it, because, "let’s face it, if she knew it was you, she’d shove the glass shards down your fucking throat." FML
Today, whilst babysitting, I broke a glass. I explained to the kid that it was very important not to walk barefoot around where it had happened, because of the tiny bits of glass. He jumped back, scared, and while doing so tripped. I rushed to help him and ran through the broken glass. Barefoot. FML
Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML

She wasn't making a statement. She was being an irrational idiot.

i was thinking the same thing. definitely got their minds off of the argument. although it would've been way funnier if they continued to argue while she's lying on the ground bleeding with shards of plate sticking out of her foot.

i never quite understood with angry girls and throwing objects.... you would think they could talk out their feelings.

I never quite understood why some angry guys punch things, which is worse than throwing something because they usually end up hurting themselves in the process... so... I guess there are people of BOTH sexes that need to learn how to talk things out, not just angry girls

#36 is right. A ton of guys I know hit things and break their hands when they're mad. Geniuses.

#36 Punching things, and I'm assuming things like walls doesn't end up costing you money, unless you're hitting it hard enough to damage the wall. If you know guys who hit breakable objects when they're angry, then I want them, along with women who break things when angry, beaten with canes. However, punching a wall stops hurting soon enough where it just hurts enough for the pain the distract you from the anger or for you to not give a damn and will not cost anyone money.

FYL. I absolutely hate when my parents fight, though it's not often. I can't blame you for wanting to break it up.

Some things just have to work themselves out, without interference. Lesson learned. Now play this up for all that you can in front of your mom.

Sometimes guys don't understand you well enough when you say "I'm mad" so it helps them put it in perspective.

No, it makes you look like an immature spoiled little bitch. If my girlfriend did something like that I wouldn't even bother continuing the argument, I'd ditch her on the spot.

It's not just girls though...my husband throws stuff when he's mad, including TV remotes, picture frames, crutches, a desk chair and his XBox controllers...he would never throw them AT me, but he sure as hell throws stuff when he's mad...

Oh feel the love.... I try breaking up fights when they happen. It doesn't work. I just get told to "shut the **** up". (Even if it does on the rare occasion, I still get told that).

What a way to put a point across instead of, say, articulating a logical thought.
