Today, while going up a ski-lift I accidentally dropped my ticket. The ticket I needed at the top to come back down. I had to hike down the mountain in flip-flops. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went skiing. Trying to show off to some inexperienced skiers, I flew past them at my top speed, a bracket snapped off my boot and I slid on my face for about 30 metres. FML
Today, I was skiing really fast and there was a sign saying 'Slow Down'. Feeling rather good about myself I decided to jump over the sign. Whilst jumping, however, I caught my ski tips on the sign and went face first into the ground. Hard. FML
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
Today, I went on a hike. It had snowed the night before so I wore warm clothes. They didn’t help when I slipped and broke my leg. FML
Today, I went skiing for the very first time and spent more time falling down than actually skiing. Despite the fact that I'm up here in the mountains for another week with my family, I'm never trying that again. FML
Today, while skiing, the creepy guy controlling the chair lift said I was pretty. I was so caught off guard that I fell off. FML
Today, I lost a glove while snowboarding. I got off my board to find it, when a bunch of kids took the opportunity to kick my snowboard down the hill, while yelling "Run, Forrest, run!" as I frantically chased after it. FML
Today, on my first ski run down a mountain, I dislocated my patella. Now I get to watch out of the window as my family builds a snowman and names it after me. FML
Today, I sharted while skiing - wearing a bib outfit and no change of clothing. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why are you in flip-flops on a ski lift in the first place?

If you're going to be on a mountain, you shouldn't be wearing flip-flops. End of discussion.

WTF?? A) its July 3rd, the only mountains that have snow are really really high so i doubt that you where there. B) If u know ANYTHING about skiing its that u need the ticket to get to the top dumbass, not to get down. C) y the hell were u wearing flip-flops during this????? If there was snow u wouldn't even wear them to begin with. D) when they give u a ticket you put it on something like a jacket or your pants, u don't just drop it. and last of all E) They would probably make a exception if all of these happens by a miracle to be true that you could come down. So please next time come up with a better fml.

Or, the OP is south of the equator. It's the middle of the winter down south. If you knew ANYTHING about ANYTHING, then you would know that not every ski place is the same. Maybe the OP was at one that required a down ticket. As for flip flops, the OP could have been renting boots, and maybe the shop was at the top of the mountain, and the OP wanted to cool off his/her feet off before putting them on (or after taking them off). Maybe the OP was taking the ticket out of his / her pocket t=in order to hand it to someone, or check information. Theres lots of reasons to have it not in your pocket. So please, next time before you call BS on an FML, consider how little you know about the situation, and give the OP the benefit of the doubt.

Or, you could read that they're in Canada. As someone else has said, a lot of the ski places are open year round...they're not ONLY for skiing. I've been to Whistler in BC and people use the ski lifts for mountain biking, or to just walk around at the top of the mountain.

I've skied all my life, i've been to Canada, and all over the USA to ski, NO one ever wears flip flops to a ski mountain, and if the person did they r dumb as hell, if they were in a ski lift, which meant they were up high, it would be cold right? if you wear flip flops then you might have socks on but you would still get frostbite just going up unless there is no snow = no need for ticket. Also i've never been to a place that you need a ticket to go down. There r some mountains where you drive to the top and ski down and then take the lift up, but you always need a ticket to get back up. When you go to a ski mountain you really just pay to use the lift nothing else, some people hike all the way. Please if you've never skied STFU, if you have you know what i'm talking about and if you've skied a lot you keep your ski ticket attached to you, because you know how much they cost.

#44 Why someone would wear flip flops for a day in the wilderness, I have no idea, but for you to be so presumptuous about a place you've obviously never been to is ridiculous. The ski lifts in BC are open year round, even though they're "up high" it's not cold in summer. And there are certain lifts that require that you show your ticket on the way down. It prevents people from hiking up and then getting a free ride down. So stop assuming that because you've been to BC you've experienced ALL ski lifts.

OP means original poster. XD is like a smiley face...the D is the laughing mouth, and the X and the eyes squinted shut.

OP=original poster XD is a smiley face that means hysterical laughter

Hysterical laughter? No it doesn't?
xxXChiiXxx 2
Yes it does. I take it you've never seen South Park? That's what the smiley face is based off of. When characters laugh really hard, their eyes turn into "X"s, and the "D" of course, is the mouth.

1) Flip flops in the snow? 2) Why not SKI down the slope?

Because it is summertime, moron. The lifts here in BC are open in the summer time for people who don't want to climb up/down the mountain, but still want to do some hiking at the top or a picnic or take photos of the view or bike down it, etc.

even if he/she was hiking or horseback riding, no one does those things in flip flops...

Who goes skiing in their flip flops?
emer_helena 0
If you were going up the mountain what were you planning on doing when you got to the top in flip flops? Just go up the ski lift and down again for no reason?

At least they didn't make you ski up the hill as punishment.
