Today, while cleaning up, I dropped a box of thumbtacks, spilling them all over the floor. As I fumbled to pick them up, the power went out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was driving home from a long day at work fixing people's electronics. When I got home, I got a call from work saying I needed to go back and help a customer with their TV again. When I got there, after an hour of driving, I realized I'd accidentally kicked the power cord out. FML
Today, I bought a pack of toothpicks. There were 500 of them. When I got home I accidentally dropped the pack. After twenty long minutes of picking them up, I dropped them again. FML
Today, I finally finished vacuuming my downstairs. Instead of finding the wall outlet and unplugging the vacuum, I triumphantly tugged the cord from across the room to release the plug from the wall. It flew at me at top speed and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I got unbelievably drunk and pissed in the corner of my room, all over a plug socket, which blew out the electrics. FML
Today, I decided to be productive and clean behind my couch. I found dust, old receipts, and one sock I thought was stolen by the universe. When I stood up proudly, I smashed my head on the shelf above. I knocked down three picture frames. All shattered. FML
Today, I was doing an online live exam with the camera on when the power suddenly went out. FML
Today, I spilled a glass of iced tea all over my desk. It trickled down the wall and fried an extension cord. FML
Today, a strong storm knocked the power out at our office. I was dismissed five hours early, had my desk locked up and was walking toward the doors to leave when the power came back on. FML
Today, after I had finished vacuuming, I ripped the cord out of the outlet and it hit me in the face cutting both my top and bottom lip. FML
Today, I almost burned the house down while changing a lightbulb. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You must have been on carpet, else you could have slid along the floor pretty easily instead of stepping. I realize the recent trend has been to post lots of puns in the comments, but here that would just be tacky.

You humped the floor at this point, right?

Hope you didn't get stabbed by too many of them. One solution would be to skim your hand over the floor too low to get stabbed, so you could pik then up, but there's really no way of telling if you got them all unless you happen to know exactly how many tacks you have and how many you'd picked up.

I say it's your fault for using metal thumb tacks instead of the foam and rubber safety ones that my supervisors make me use. It's very hard to hurt yourself with them but I've tried my best.

Lol it would have been painfully funny if you slipped and fell after the power went out, landing on the thumbtacks. But that idea is too tacky, isn't it? Guess I'm not very sharp!

All you would have to do is getsega Tenshou the floor to make yourself a path and then flash step to another room.
