Today, while I was reading on my tablet, my dog wanted to be let outside, so I set down the tablet and let her outside. I returned to the living room to continue reading when I heard a crunch. The tablet had fallen to the floor and I'd stepped on it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I couldn't find my reading glasses, thinking perhaps i'd dropped them outside, I stepped off my deck bare foot, straight into a steaming dog turd. Only to see my glasses chewed up a few feet away. It went between my toes. FML
Today, I tripped over my dog while carrying groceries. As I laid on the floor surrounded by smashed eggs, spilled milk, and a bruised knee, my dog stole the bread from the bag and and ran off. FML
Today, I was reading a recipe list on my tablet. I moved a little, and one of my fat rolls came into contact with a button which closed the tab. FML
Today, my dog threw up on the tiled floor. I found out at 6 this morning in the dark when I slipped and fell in it. FML
Today, I walked out into my backyard. As I did so, my dogs ran past me, slamming the sliding door off its track. I went to catch it, and knocked the bird cage over. To complete the fumble, as I turned to catch the bird cage, I stepped in a dog turd. I wasn't wearing shoes. We're all okay, but… FML
Today, I accidentally rammed my finger into my desk, and it felt like I'd broken it. Yelping in pain, I fell over onto my bed, missed it, and landed on the floor. My dog saw this as a good opportunity to climb on top of me and start humping. FML
Today, I was walking my dog but every time he looked like he was about to "go", he became uninterested with the spot and kept walking. I, following behind, tripped over a bump in the sidewalk and face planted. My dog then finally urinated, all over my aching body. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML
Today, I came home on crutches. My dog was immediately afraid of them, and came running towards me, growling and barking. She ran right into me, knocking me over. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs. My mom came running from the other room because she thought it was the dog. She rolled her eyes and walked away when she saw it was me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Stop being so harsh people, not everyone's life has to be full of wars, stressful bosses, homelessness, etc, for it to be a FML moment. And tablets are expensive, so breaking something expensive IS an FML moment because not everyone's pockets are full of money. Everyone has their own experiences, don't compare or judge. And also, it's easy to miss something you've dropped on the floor. It's happened to EVERYONE. So OP does NOT deserve it. Jeez, that stuff is just human.

And that was the thing you were most grateful for in all of the world! Your mom must have cursed it!

OP here, I thankfully found someone selling a kindle fire tablet in town for just $30 within the same week as breaking the featured one. The downside was having to repurchase a couple drmed books.

If this really is OP you're a retard. How did you not even see your tablet when it was on the floor?

black tablet, dark green carpeting, light not on in the hallway, tablet in shadow of chair. and ya know what, I agree it was dumb. I should have set it in the table or something.

Wow that sucks, I've stepped on my tablet before but I must not be heavy enough to crush it to bits.

I thought the same sort of thing when I read this.
wolfheartmoon 12
it was still "usable" (as in turned on and showed the display correctly) but I mostly used it for reading so the spider webs of cracks were really distracting.

You can get a more durable tablet for reading called a book... Give it a try some time ?

did you know a tablet can contain theoretically infinite books while taking up infinitely less space

Pick up the debris in the living room, watch where you're walking, and don't be so careless with your expensive toys. The passive voice in the phrase "The tablet had fallen to the floor" doesn't make it the tablet's fault for falling on the floor, it's your fault for not putting it somewhere safe.
