Today, my roommate played a "prank" on me. He taped a length of clear cellophane at ankle-height just outside my bedroom door, causing me to trip and faceplant the floor, and busting out a tooth. I now look like a hick, and my roommate is refusing to cover my dental bills. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I have to go to the dentist to get a tooth capped. Why? Because my room mate knows I sleepwalk and thought it would be funny to put a trip wire across the top of the stairs. It worked. FML
Today, I was cuddling my boyfriend on the hotel lobby's couch. We were not paying attention to anything but each other. Apparently, someone tied our shoes together. I stood up and faceplanted into a pool table. I'm now missing two teeth. FML
Today, I was moving out of my old place. While walking around to make sure I would get my damage deposit back, I stepped on my roommate's lipstick and smeared it all over the white carpet. Then I tripped on the phone cord and ripped the whole thing out of the wall. FML
Today, I went to a cosmetic dentist and got a chip in my tooth filled in that I’d had since I was 7. I went out later and my friend jokingly hit my head against the table a few times to make fun of me showing off my teeth. He slipped. I fell. I now have 2 chipped teeth and a broken nose. FML
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML
Today, my roommate decided to prank me by leaving a fake suicide note on the bathroom door and lying motionless in a bathtub full of water and red coloring. When I went, horrified, to take a closer look, he lunged at me and screamed. I was so scared I pissed myself. FML
Today, my roommate thought it would be funny to throw a brick down the laundry-chute. Guess who spent the night at the hospital. FML
Today, I was hanging out with my friends when I tripped and a chair rolled over my foot, breaking a bone. A friend, who didn't believe me, then dogpiled on top of me and laughed as I screamed. FML
Today, while I was taking a long relaxing shower, the shower head decided to fly off and hit me in the face. The dentist couldn't stop laughing. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This is one of the cases I think suing is warranted. Creating a tripping hazard is not a prank. He's lucky it wasn't more serious.

You could sue for assault
Shade1982 21
No, you can't, this is not what assault is. You can take it, like suggested down below, to small claims court...

I know a lot of people always suggest taking their problems to court and people roll their eyes, but here, it's justified

That's what Small Claims Court is for. No lawyers, limited fees, but also limited recovery. However, if all you want is for them to pay the dental bill , then Small Claims should work fine. The friendship with your roommate will likely be ruined, but it looks like it already is since they won't step up and fix the damage they caused you. Best of luck, OP.

His prank caused you to lose a tooth. One would think that he'd be apologetic and would offer to pay your dental bill. Since he won't, I would put pressure on him. If he still doesn't, I'd sue him. Friends or not, he injured you. He should be paying for it.

What a dick move

Small claims court. Not only should your inconsiderate roomie pay the cost of your dental bills but the cost of an implant--and those can cost between $2,000 and $3,000. If not, it's time to end this living situation.

He can refuse all he wants. That tactic won't work when you sue his ass.

Tell your roommate to own up to his pranks.
