Today, while painting a wall, I handed a bucket of paint up to my friend who was standing on the top rung of a ladder. She said she felt dizzy, and came crashing down on me, along with the paint on my head. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was painting my room. I told my mom not to open the door because I was on a ladder just behind it, with a paint can perched atop. She barged in to ask me what I'd said. FML
Today, I was painting my bedroom walls, when I was struck with an uncontrollable bout of diarrhea. I had to watch helplessly from the en-suite bathroom as my 2 year old daughter painted a lovely picture for me, all over my new $500 sofa. FML
Today, my friend snuck up on me and yelled, "Gotcha!" I screamed and dropped a gallon of blood-red paint on my new, white kitchen floor. Now it looks like I've murdered someone in my kitchen. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML
Today, I was fixing a leak in the roof. When I was climbing down the ladder, it fell, but I managed to grab the ledge of the roof. The ladder hit my wife's car, then I fell on top of the ladder. My wife came running out to ask what happened to the car. FML
Today, as a respected artist, I was running a workshop with a bunch of rowdy college kids. I was in the middle of demonstrating a painting technique when I accidentally washed my paintbrush in my coffee instead of my paint water. They waited until I then drank from it to burst out in hysterics. FML
Today, I was working on a painting and went to take a sip of my tea. Instead, I took a swig of paint water. FML
Today, I was painting my mom's house, which so far had taken 12 hours over two days. All of a sudden there was a wind storm. All of the leaves stuck to the wet paint. FML
Today, at work, I managed to hit myself in the face with a large sheet pan. The force made me back into a shelf, which knocked a box off the top, which hit me in the head and knocked me out-cold. I now have a fat lip, a sore head, and bruises all over from the fall. FML
Today, while cleaning behind a ladder, I banged my head on one of the hand rails. I stood up, cursed, and moved to the other side. To my luck, I hit the other side of my head. I now have two lumps perfectly placed as horns on my head. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well look at the bright side. If you were thinking about changing your hair color, now you don't have to pay to get it done at a salon.

Tell you friend to stop sniffing the fumes! Especially when standing on a high place with little foot support.

How do you get dizzy on a ladder?
bellakaykid 6
Scared of heights?
MrFancy 0
It's likely the fumes from the paint.

Good question. Go on top of a ladder with a bucket of paint and let me know how you feel after a while. Make sure you take deep breaths.

#1, you get dizzy on a ladder when paint fumes get inside you like little gas devils and **** up your head.

Not enough circulation going to your head or paint fumes.

You can get dizzy anywhere, anytime, anyplace! Whether it be at the top of a ladder or sitting on the recliner. (Weird example, I know! It was the first thing I could think of!) Slow circulation or lack of oxygen to the brain causes dizziness. And anything can cause those two things to happen.

Today, while painting a wall with my friend, I got dizzy & fell from the top of the ladder , the can of paint fell with me & the jerk was more concerned of the paint falling on him than me falling from the top of the ladder. FML

If she felt dizzy she probably shouldn't have been on a ladder in the first place..
guitarbeast 22
She may have gotten dizzy from the height, tho it really isn't that high

"No. Just no." is way overused on this site...

You know what's overused on this site! FML! Every story I read has it at the end!

Be glad she wasn't working with a saw or a hammer. You got off easy, my friend.
