Today, while riding my bike on the sidewalk, I came across a ladder. To avoid bad luck, I swerved around it into the street. I got hit by a car. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, when I crossed the street, I almost died because of a careless driver, but when I crossed it again on my way back, I got hit by a bicycle. FML
Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML
Today, my bike abruptly stopped working, torpedoing me headfirst into the sidewalk. I lay there in agony for a few minutes, and the only guy who saw it happen said, "Lucky you didn't get hurt!" FML
Today, I thought I'd be safe by looking before crossing a one way street unlike I normally do. Too bad I looked the wrong way and didn't see the car that hit me. FML
Today, I saw an elderly man fall in a crosswalk, so I jumped off my bike to help. As I helped him across, the light turned green. I then watched across a 6 lane street as someone stole my bike. FML
Today, I missed my bus to school, so I took my bike. The bus that I missed ignored a stop sign on its way back, making me crash into it. FML
Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML
Today, a car was waiting for me to cross the street so I thought it would be funny to slowly limp across the street. When I got to the end, I jumped as high as I could to show I was faking. Turns out I tripped and hit my head hard on the sidewalk. That car took me to the hospital. FML
Today, I rode my bike to work. While biking on the road, I gave a hand signal for turning left. A car passing the opposite way veered towards me and attempted to give me a high five. I now have cuts all over my body and my bike is in two pieces. FML
Today, I was walking from my office to the place I had parked my car, a distance of approximately three blocks. As I was about to round the last corner, I was forced to dive out of the way of a speeding car. When I looked up, I noticed that it was my car. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Always wear A helmet, it could save your life, especially in this instance

Hmmm go under a ladder and risk having bad luck, or go onto a street with cars going past. Your logic is strange OP. Lets hope it was worth it.

Why not go around the ladder the other way? Swerving onto the grass or whatever was on the other side of it? Unless the street and ladder were at the edge of a cliff, there really isn't an excuse for choosing the oncoming traffic of doom.

My guess is the ladder was up against something (e.g. a building) and not just suspended in mid-air where OP could take 2 ways around it.

Silly superstition...don't you know they're all made up? Maybe next time you should stop, get off the bike, and walk it around the ladder. Save yourself lots of pain

You should have been in the street anyway. It's illegal to bike on the sidewalk.

Exactly, this. It's called a sideWALK for a reason:

In some areas, if you don't have a bicycle license, it's also illegal to be in the street.

Unless there's a bike lane or there's a sign saying bikes can go on the road, it's acceptable to ride your bike on the sidewalk.

This really all depends on where you live.

106 has a point. Here in NYC you ride as the cars. At least you're supposed to lol.

Crazy thought...cars in the street ???? that's why people say look both ways before crossing the street. Sorry to say you deserve that one for not looking before going into the road
