Today, while getting on the subway, I tripped over the gap between the train and the platform. My flip-flop caught on the edge, and fell into the gap. I had to walk home with one flip-flop. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML
Today, I was on the train to work. I was up late the night before, causing me to doze off. When I woke up, I was at my station. I stood up, went to walk out of the door and fell flat on my face on a platform full of people. Someone had tied my shoelaces together. FML
Today, I ran for the first time in ages when I saw my bus coming. My loose shoe went flying into a shop doorway, and I tripped into the gutter. FML
Today, as I was stood on an escalator, my shoelace got caught in the step. Panicking, I tried to pull it out, but my shoe came off. I had to awkwardly hop back down the escalator to retrieve it while everyone around me in the mall watched. FML
Today, I saw a news story about how wearing flip-flops is dangerous. I scoffed at the ridiculous study and went about my business. Three hours later I accidentally ripped off my toenail. While wearing flip-flops. FML
Today, I was rushing to get on the train to work as I heard the "door closing" beeps. I was about to step onto the train when a man pushed me out of the way so that he could get on. My handbag fell out of my hand into the carriage. I stayed on the platform. FML
Today, I was already late so I sprinted to catch the bus. Just as I jumped on, my left shoe flew off, and I practically tripped over my own feet, falling flat on my face in a bus full of strangers. The driver asked, "You OK Ma’am?" while stifling laughter. FML
Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML
Today, I ran to catch the subway, slipped, and my pants ripped across the back. I got on the train trying to cover the hole, only to realize the train was packed with people staring straight at my underwear though my fingers. To make it worse, my phone started playing loud music and I froze as I considered which situation to fix first. FML
Today, I fell going down the stairs to the subway platform during rush hour. Someone was kind enough to help me up and someone else was kind enough to steal my iPhone which had fallen out of my pocket and landed nearby. FML

If only there was some sort of warning telling you to mind the gap... Oh wait.

Why didn't you just take the other one off?

Been there, done that. Or no, I didn't do that, I just put off my other shoe as well. It makes more sense.

maybe you should wear real shoes... What did we learn today about life?

I said 'I put off my other shoe as well' CLEARLY stating I was wearing 'real shoes'. So what did we learn about life today? We learned not to reply to the first comment if we're not actually replying to the comment. Or, if we really really want to reply to the first comment, we will mention our comment is meant for the OP. Life's confusing enough.

Faggy America? Lol, I can't even take offense to that, because it was so cute.

We should write a new song called "God Bless Faggy America" and replace The Star Spangled Banner as our national anthem! Brilliant!

81: I sooo agree. The same can be said of Crocs (unless one is working at a hospital or something), and of Uggs (no matter what).

I like how 1/14 put off their other shoe. I take shoes off and put them on. I guess I'm weird.

#35: Most Americans call them flip flops, not thongs. A thong is a g-string, understand now?

It's a flip flop with a thong

Because that would just make too much sense. OP, be glad it wasn't you that fell into oblivion. You could've gotten hurt
sourgirl101 29
Why would that make more sence? I'd rather keep one foot off the dirty floor, which is why you wear shoes to begin with. (: And the OP should have been more careful but certainly does not deserve it because she was "wearing" flip flops. Many people do. Look around!
primadonna9396 16
Yeah, that does suck. I only wear sandals/flip flops when I'm walking somewhere relatively close, because that happened to me once when my boyfriend took me to the beach... Hot concrete, gravel, and other nasty shit.

FFML_314 12
Lol, I think it's funny that you ended that story with, "I had to walk home with one flip-flop." As if somehow that was the only life ******* thing that occurred. :P

It is strange how one flip flop is more embarrassing then a pair.
