Today, there was a big snow storm and I wanted to help shovel, so I put on 3 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of pants, 2 winter coats, 2 pairs of gloves, a hat and a scarf. Once outside, I was told to go back inside because the job was done. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I shoveled snow at work. I had to because my co-workers refused to "get sick." I told my co-workers if anyone needs me, just tell them I'm shoveling snow. Our boss asked for me and they said that I left without punching. This also happened when I went out to water the flowers in the summer. FML
Today, I spent over an hour shovelling the walkway and driveway, snow blowing in my face and down my coat. When I was finally finished, a guy started going through the neighborhood plowing everyone's driveways for them. FML
Today, after shoveling one guy's steps, sidewalk, and driveway for two hours straight, I went to ask for my money. He said, "Work is its own reward!" and shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I got snowed in. At work. FML
Today, my parents left early in the morning to run some errands, and I thought it would be nice to shovel our rather large driveway for them while they were out. An hour later, they returned from the store with a snow blower. FML
Today, I spent nearly half an hour clearing several inches of snow off my car. After almost suffering from hypothermia, I finished. Except the car keys were missing from my pocket, presumably buried under a foot of snow. FML
Today, my mom made me shovel our long driveway, as it had just snowed a couple of inches. It took me two and half hours to finish. She came out and said, "Wow, is this really the best you can do?" FML
Today, I was written up at work because I took off my badge. While I was putting on a sweater for this cold weather. FML
Today, while working at a grocery store, I spent about 30 minutes pushing carts inside in a blizzard. Not even 10 minutes after I had finished, I looked out the window and saw that not only had the snow completely stopped, but the sun was shining. FML
Today, while washing the dishes at work I was told to go put some things into the big freezer at the back of the store. While doing so, the door closed behind me, so naturally I pushed it, only to have my wet hands freeze to the door. I yelled to my manager for 10 minutes before help came. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Either you didn't have that much to shovel, or you take waayyyy too long to get dressed.

How do you wear 2 sets of gloves?

28-probable little thin ones, then huge ones over it. Think outside the box :)

28- In Canada, there is always a way to layer. Minus 46 in Edmonton yesterday, I wore two pairs of pants.

BeaterOfTheDrums 15
51- please explain at what point I was 'talking shit'. Because all I see me doing is pointing out a nice thread jack, then apologizing for pointing it out, and even ASKING people to thumb down my comments. Please comprehend what you are reading before you call me a dumb-ass.

Ydi for being a wuss
KiddNYC1O 22
That's like saying someone's a wuss for wearing their seatbelt.
hotPinklipstick 24
OP stop pretending like you feel bad, you know you did it on purpose. No one 'wants' to shovel snow in freezing weather. (yes this is sarcasm for those who can't catch on)
odexy 12
That's a horrible comparison, considering OP is doing more of a disservice to themselves by putting so many clothes on. Not only will their mobility be reduced because of all the thick layers, but they'll probably start sweating pretty heavily in a short amount of time... edit: lol didn't even notice the person below me beat me to saying just that.
jonriise18 3
No... It's like wearing 4 seatbelts.
KiddNYC1O 22
Hey, some people actually feel cold much more than others.
sadistmonkey 19
I'm from Rochester, NY, which is on the coast of Lake Ontario and probably has a similar climate to where the OP is from and I have to say, I agree with stevenmx86. The OP is in Ontario, not Antarctica. The OP doesn't need several pairs of those things. One winter coat, a heavy sweater, one hat, one pair of gloves, a good pair of snow boots, and possibly a scarf are all that is needed.

If OP had gotten to cold he could've just used a tauntaun for warmth. :)

I have to agree with 93 and 6. I live in Ontario too and I walked my dog yesterday. It wasn't that bad, and all I was wearing was a coat, a hat, boots, and jeans.

That's like saying "ydi for not wanting to get hypothermia" or "ydi for not wanting to be cold"

The more layers you put on the worse your are... You'll start to sweat and cold plus sweat not to fun. But hey it was the thought that counts
bman26 1
Where the hell did u go to school? Layers are better for you providing you dont put to many on. And that guy was wuss
iamyourgod 3
Everything in your comment is wrong. More layers are better, sweat would only matter if you took off your coat and exposed your sweaty skin to the air, and that does not apply when someone avoids a chore.
odexy 12
I've been through 20 Canadian winters, I know what I'm talking about when it comes to layering and cold weather. The thing about sweat is that it cools you down when it dries, something you obviously want to avoid when your objective is keeping warm. OP is an idiot for putting on two winter coats, plain and simple. The perfect way to bundle up is to wear multiple thin layers, since the multiple layers trap air between them, which in turn acts as its own insulating layer. I wasn't suggesting that layering in general is stupid, but the way OP did it certainly is.

Well.. There's always tomorrow.

Piss on their snow, rape their women, and steal their goats!! Too much?

61 - A bit much, yes. The yellow snow is just a bit too far.

Two pairs of gloves? Otherwise, your life does suck, but that earned you a YDI.

2 winter coats? How about 1 decent winter coat.
drummerchic14 0
yeah I live in Ontario and have never needed to put on 2 winter coats...
Lauren324 18
Canada goose.
GoW_Chick 15
I live in Florida and if I ever went to Canada during the winter I would probably need 2 coats, but that's just because I'm use to not really having a big change in seasons.
