Today, I'm lying in a hospital bed with two broken leg bones, a reattached tendon, and four screws holding my leg together. Why? Because I wanted chocolate milk and some asshat didn't see me walking across the road. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I heard the ice cream truck. Being the idiot that I am, I ran down the steps and almost immediately fell down them. I needed four stitches. I didn't even get my ice cream. FML
Today, I texted my mom if she could pick me up from the hospital. She replied, "No fatty, walk home." I have a broken foot. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs and landed heavily on my foot. Because I wasn't crying, my mom refused to take me to the hospital. It took me an hour of agony to convince her. It turned out to be broken in three different places. FML
Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML
Today, I was drunk and broke my leg. I called 911, only for the cops to turn up and make me try to walk, with them saying that I was faking my injury. They arrested me for being drunk in public and hours later I finally got to an ER. I had to have surgery on my leg. FML
Today, I broke my leg while trying to show my friend how I broke my other leg. FML
Today, I found out that I not only dislocated two bones in my foot, but also fractured one of those two bones and snapped the other. How did this happen? I tripped over a single stair walking from the bar to the beer garden. I didn't even get to drink anything. FML
Today, I had my first real break from work in ages, so I decided to go hiking. Less than 20 minutes in, I tumbled a couple hundred feet down a steep hill, broke my leg and several toes, and lay there in agony for an eternity before I was finally rescued. FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML
Today, I was walking to my mailbox when I fell down and couldn't get up. My neighbor walked by with his dog, took one look at me struggling, said, "What is wrong with kids these days, drunk at 9 a.m.?" and continued on. I couldn't get up because I'm still healing from a stress fracture in my hip. FML

Can’t really give a YDI or a FYL when we have no idea whether or not you obeyed traffic laws.

You have not given enough info for anyone to say definitively either FYL or YDI. Were you crossing legally in a pedestrian crosswalk, and the asshat barrelled through without even trying to put on the brakes? If this is what happened, then FYL, and you should sue the bastard. Or did you just step out into the road mid-block and expect that all traffic would come to a halt for you? If this is the case, then Y so very much DI.

The cafeteria ran out, but they do have chocolate pudding.

Oh, he saw you. He just really wanted the chocolate milk more!

Alright guys, I'm gonna be Charlie for a moment. Honestly was the chocolate milk that important? Sure the guy should've watched where he was going, but I'm pretty sure you didn't need the chocolate milk right then and there. 🙄😒

Are you upset that OP wanted chocolate milk and not the fact that someone almost killed them?
DraftHail614 17
What? Course not. Did you read the first sentence?

So you should never go and get anything because you might get hit by a car?

It was meant to be a joke, but I take it you guys don't see it if you don't know who Charlie is. You'd think the emojis would give it away. Because the people that upvoted obviously saw it.

One way or the other we are all gonna die OP.. Chocolate milk, is, imo, worth dying for.

Did you look both ways before you crossed the street? Was it really just the driver at fault? Hope you heal well.

Yeah those female asian drivers will do that

And you cant see a car moving on the street? Or it getting close? That and because you use terms like asshat is why you deserved to get hit. Did it knock out your tampon?
