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

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

And yet there are people in third world countries with no shoes, who get their feet cut and diseased... your life is FAR from ****** OP, there are people way worse off than you! Be grateful you even had one shoe.

No, she doesn't.

How the hell is someone supposed to be grateful they have one shoe, when they first had two. This comment makes absolutely no sense. Thereby, I doubt the people in third world countries would like to have only one shoe, it is incredibly annoying to walk like that.

ppl in third world countries are happy to have one shoe. the one shoe gives hope that many more will follow.

How do you know that, 26? Did you just poll 1,000 people of third-world countries? Awful confident without cause, are we?

I think the whole point of FML is posting about lifes little shitty moments and sometimes huge ones but, just because one persons fml doesn't compare to 3rd world country horrors doesn't meant it's not an FML to them.

70 or 18?
FFML_314 12
Ahoy matey! No way! He was definitely talking about 70.

OHMYGOD, it could be worse, you could have watched your mother get raped and father be murdered and be left a homeless orphan living under a bridge with NO SHOES... I like the fact that a lot of FMLs are fairly minor things compared to life's horrors. It makes them easier to laugh at.
