Today, while on the roof of my friend's house, I took a shortcut down by jumping onto the roof of his nearby shed. Not only did I go right through it and hurt my arm, I've also received several calls from my friend's dad, demanding I pay for the damage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at school, I offered my friend $5 to climb up a tree and jump off. I was already having a hard day and just wanted a bit of a laugh. What I didn't expect was to end up in the hospital with a broken arm because my friend jumped on me. FML
Today, to save money, I wanted to fix my own leaky roof instead of hiring someone. When I got on the roof, the ladder fell. As it was falling, it broke three windows and snagged the siding of my house ripping over half of it off. FML
Today, I was at my friends' farm and we decided that we wanted to go to their old treehouse. When we got down there, it turned out my friend Cat had forgotten her shoes. Being a gentleman, I lent her my sandals. I then climbed the treehouse, fell out, and got a nail through my foot. FML
Today, I snuck out of the house to go to a party. When I got back later, I tried climbing back up the rope-ladder I'd set up earlier, leading back through my bedroom window. I was halfway up when it broke free. I sprained both my ankles and had to shamefully ring the doorbell to get back in. FML
Today, since I was grounded, I tried to sneak out of my room to attend a party by climbing out the second-storey window and down the tree. I was unharmed, but I probably should have checked to see if my dad was in the garden before climbing down. FML
Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML
Today, on a whim, I decided to try parkour. I climbed a chain link fence and fell off, right onto my face. Then the owner of the property shouted at me. FML
Today, I was walking home with my boyfriend. There's a short cut to my house by jumping a fence but he insisted that we take the long way because, "Girls don't jump fences." To prove him wrong, I jumped the fence. I fell and broke my leg. FML
Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML
Today, I saw my dad's friend across the street working on my neighbor's roof. To continue the airsoft war we'd been having, I shot at him with the sniper gun I'd bought. I hit him, and he fell off the roof. I ran over to see if he was OK. It wasn't my dad's friend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Even Santa is more graceful than you. And he's a 750 pound man with a bunch of reindeer to pull him around to the houses.

How can someone jump thru something as solid as aluminum... I mean it's strong enough to hold my soda and beer but not a grown man or boy?

You were on a roof. Why the **** were you thinking?

It doesn't, but most sheds have aluminum roofing. Keyword being MOST. Either way it was probably either old or shitty if someone can just jump right through.

Wtf were u doing on the roof?

Most sheds I've seen have a wooden or thatched roof. I'm trying to imagine an aluminium one and can only picture an "American Gothic"-ish silo.

65-- maybe most by you. Near me it's either ore fab plastic sheds or ones with shingled roofs. Rarely an aluminum one
bennyboy111 7
Of course OP should pay WTF

A thin sheet of aluminium is very weak WTF did you think foil is made out of

Guys, guys, this isn't Home Depot... shut your faces. (Back to Fml) This is just one of those stories that you hit YDI before your done reading. Shortcut off my roof. Smart.

Good Lord, aircraft are hardly strong, you can use a can opener to cut up a Cessna, and larger jets just have chambered walls and a steel capped nose, which coupled with aerodynamics and Bernoulli's principal, allows for flight. And by pressurizing the cabin, an equilibrium of stability and strength is formed when in the higher atmosphere. I like planes...

Watch some Fail videos on Youtube and you will understand
Keyman1212 14
See, 133, you fail because you looked that info up. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for self-education, but you just look like a jackass trying to one-up someone who is overall more knowledgeable on a subject you're discussing. As for the aluminum you mentioned, wouldn't it cross your mind that perhaps someone's corrugated metal roof is not going to be of the same tensile strength as that of a wing of an Airbus 300 per-say? People can't afford the $300+ sq ft for that material haha

Haha these dudes are being dicks... I agree with you on this only on the fact that if you're not careful then you'll most likely get injured haha

Yeah, if you take a shortcut on making my sandwich like leaving out mayo or something, I swear to god, you'll be telling all your friends you "fell" down a flight of stairs.
jedielf 23
Most of the time they don't. Dumb shortcuts, however, yeah they probably would in one way or another.
sydie5 12
geez people haha and blond has nothing to do with it. I'm pretty clumsy and usually end up tripping over something. cut me a break? :)

Yeah... Look at Little Red Riding HoodXD Haha, not always do shortcuts end up badly.
