A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, my building's elevators were temporarily out of service. I climbed up 17 flights of stairs only to realize I left my keys downstairs. After the painful climb back up, the elevator lights came on. FML

Not in the mood
Today, I'm severely hungover. Upon returning home, I came to find that both of the elevators were out of order. I live on the 12th floor. FML
LETMEOUT!
Today, despite being claustrophobic and avoiding lifts at all costs, I had to use the lift at work to carry boxes of paper to the 3rd floor. It broke down. FML

Today, I walked up sixteen flights of stairs to my room to avoid the lift lines. When I was almost at the top, the fire alarm sounded. FML
Elevated fear
Today, I finally sought help for my crippling fear of elevators. When I arrived at my new therapist's office, I found the door to the stairs locked. To get to my appointment on the third floor of the building, I have to take the elevator. FML

Today, I worked up my courage and took an elevator for the first time in my life. Unfortunately, it was also my first time getting trapped for several hours in an elevator. FML

Today, we had a fire drill in my dorm, and I live on the 7th floor of my building. They shut the elevators down and I had to walk down 14 flights of steps. I shattered my kneecap last week. They turned the alarm off when I got to the first floor. FML

The staircase
Today, the elevator at work was taking forever so I decided to make a change and take the stairs instead. I slipped on the second step and spent the next few minutes laying there as people asked if I was OK. My pride is bruised… as well as my ass. FML

Well if you're the principle from the previous FML you can work off those donuts you bought from the fun raiser. Karma's a bitch.

At least you didn't cut off your own finger, have your phone die, and get stuck in the elevator with the power out while your 3 friends try to find you.

I kinda feel as if that's a fire hazard to live that high up. If there was a fire how would you get out?
hnz 13
at least you still have the energy to type here. must be a condominium?
aussie_gemini 5
why must it be a condominium?
cymruambyth 0
because it's 30 floors
hnz 13
because in Singapore, more than 25th floors is condominium.

but now there are normal flats with 40 floors :)
EagorLuvsBigFoot 8
wait so she stopped mid-stair climbing to write this FML on the App?
aussie_gemini 5
from my understanding and a quick google check, a condominium is a building containing individually owned apartments regardless of floors...
EagorLuvsBigFoot 8
I guess nobody wants to answer ma question?
aussie_gemini 5
it would seem that way 114 :)
aussie_gemini 5
haha I meant 'it would seem that way' for op stopping midway to write the FML... not that no one wanted to answer you!

Think of it as a game. Try to take four steps at a time each time and see if you can do it.

dude... your right arm is way bigger than your left

It's alright, he's from Perth. It's a well known fact that Marinus can't even pick up the ugly girls, so it makes sense that his right arm is bigger.
PrincessesCrown 17
His arms are the same size it's just the camera view! the picture was taken with him at an angle, making the right arm closer to the the camera lens!

Amazing how hypocritical some commanders can be. Kind of laughable really. Tuck in your B's and retract your claws sweetheart, you're only making yourself look bad.

Why are you fmling this if your still climbing the stairs? Focus on getting all the way up the stairs, you'll have more to complain about.

19- worst comeback ever. it's bad enough to be a FML. And don't forget that this FML is from Singapore, it gets pretty hot there.
bentleysdad11611 0
how did you find out it's from Singapore ? and I'm from america I guess I'm just considering how fat and lazy our country is getting me personally I really don't mind exercise and climbed stairs like crazy for football and hockey practice

It says that it's from Singapore...

They'd better fix it by tomorrow because your legs are going to be so sore you will practically be immobile. No pain, no gain -- cheers!

You're "still" climbing the stairs? So you decided halfway through "hey you know what let me pop out my phone and go on FML and try to post it?". . .Could probably have been there already if you stopped concentrating on multitasking.

OP was probably taking a break. Hell if I has to climb 30 flights of stairs, I'd stop to take a tea break every 10 flights due to exhaustion.

*had. Sorry I didn't receive a proper educamation because my principal spent the school funds on donuts.
