Today, while running on the treadmill at the gym, the girl next to me slipped and went flying back against the wall. Indecisive whether to get off and help her or to just keep going, I lost my focus and footing and flew back next to her. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Hey it could be a good way to hook up

Haha I guess that's what u get for not helping her :)

33 / alyssa: Not everyone who slips and falls wants help. It's embarrassing enough to go flying off the treadmill, but then have everyone focus on your blunder just makes it worse. It's easy to see why the OP stopped to consider whether or not to help. It's hard to tell which would have been the more courteous thing to do without being there. The FML is that, while trying to decide how to be nice.... BLAM! Ha! It's a good reminder, though, to take care of your own stuff before you worry about other people. That's actually EXACTLY why they say that on planes. You aren't much help to anyone else if you get yourself hurt, in any situation. See someone with a flat? Pull over CAREFULLY and walk back. Don't rear-end someone rubbernecking and trying to decide to help. The possibilities are endless. I don't see this as a YDI, though. It only takes a split second for that treadmill to fling you off. ;)

Ydi for thinking whether to help or not you always help jack ass that's instinct

You actually made me consider whether this truely was a ydi or not, #34.
