Today, while on my run, I was attacked by my neighbor's new dog. It apparently didn't like me running past their house and broke free from its chain. I now have stitches and was just told that I'm probably being taken to court for the emotional distress I caused her and the dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went for a run, and my own dog attacked me. FML
Today, a dog attacked me. Its owner, instead of apologizing and helping me, said it was my own fault for making it think I was an attacker by running past them. We were on a jogging track. FML
Today, as I was walking my dog, some self-righteous animal activist berated me on how it was animal abuse to put my dog on a leash. Despite warning her, she crouched down to undo it, my dog charged at her, giving her a gash on the cheek. She kicked my dog for it, and is now threatening to sue me. FML
Today, knowing very well that I need to be more active, I went for a walk. It quickly turned into a sprint when I was attacked and chased by a dog. FML
Today, my dog ran away. Luckily my neighbors caught him before he got too far. Now they won't give him back because they think I did something to him to make him want to run away. FML
Today, I was chased out of my own house by my wife's lover's dog. FML
Today, I completed my 6-month training program for a track competition this weekend. I went to the park to run anyways because I needed some air after my boyfriend broke up with me. After one lap, my neighbor's 130 lb dog ran across the soccer field and jumped on me to say hi. My leg is broken. FML
Today, I was walking down a path in the woods behind my house when I saw a squirrel. It ran away, but little did I know it wasn't running from me, it was running from the dog that had forced Animal Control to sweep the area. I ended up with stitches in my leg. FML
Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML
Today, I was standing at our fence welcoming our new neighbors as they moved in. My 85-pound boxer thought it would be a good idea to start sprinting along the fence line so their dog would join in. He crashed into my right knee at full speed. I now have a sprained and/or torn MCL and PCL. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Take pictures of your injury now, in case this goes to court after you've healed. As long as you have a good lawyer, you shouldn't lose. Still, FYL for the hassle and lawyer fees :

I think this is one of the few FML's that i agree with my sue happy counterparts. Yes, you should sue her, and yes, the dog does have to be put to sleep.

If the dog attacked you, you have probably have it put down.

Around here, no matter how small, cute, or friendly the dog is, if it bites you it's getting put down and your arse is getting sued for not controlling your dog. One time this guy was jogging past my dog and my dog tried to lick him. The guy knees him in the mouth and tried to sue me for my dog "biting" him. >"<

Dude, don't even START complaining. That's the easiest court case to win.

The dog by law should be put down if it attacks a human.

Wow....first of all, calm down. Secondly - before you complain about a country's legal system, whether you live there or not - do a little research. The dog owner would NOT be able to successfully sue, and would very likely be fined by the court (if it ever made it to the court at all, which I doubt it would) for bringing a frivolous claim. Just because she says she'll sue doesn't mean she can do so successfully. So, next time you try to claim that the American legal system is "spoiled" and "stupid," know what you're talking about first.

while that may be true in this case, you can't tell me america isn't full of - and doesn't thrive on - frivolous lawsuits. as examples? the lady that got her doctor disbarred because he broke her arm during surgery (she reached out, under full anastetic and during an extremely delicate/invasive surgery, and put a deathgrip on his testes). he could not continue, and (after trying every other way), was left with no alternative but to break the arm, finish the surgery, and reset the arm. the guy who decided to sue Pepsi for false advertising regarding the harrier jet on the first Pepsi Points campaign the woman who sued McDonalds for letting ice/drink sit on the floor, causing a hazard (she slipped and fell because of it. she also caused it, having thrown the drink at her boyfriend during a fight not 30 seconds earlier). the student in New Hampsire who's suing the school board, state, and professor after he clamped a cable onto his nipples, and plugged it in during an electrical course (stopped his heart breifly. he claims the instructor didn't tell him it could be dangerous to do so, therefor was negligent). and lest we forget the woman who started it all. the one who sued McDonalds after she spilt her coffee on herself, and claimed she "didn't know it was hot".
