Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I slipped fell down an entire flight of stairs in front of literally everyone, and after getting back up, I tripped down another flight. Then, instead of silently walking away, I started laughing like a maniac and now everyone probably thinks I'm dumb, clumsy, and crazy. FML
Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML
Today, I was heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs. The guy behind me was kind enough to ask if I was okay. He then called his friends over so they could laugh at me. FML
Today, I laughed at my friend for tripping on the sidewalk. While imitating him to show “how stupid" he looked, I stepped on the exact same sidewalk, twisted my ankle, and fell over in front of a bunch of strangers. FML
Today, I was already late so I sprinted to catch the bus. Just as I jumped on, my left shoe flew off, and I practically tripped over my own feet, falling flat on my face in a bus full of strangers. The driver asked, "You OK Ma’am?" while stifling laughter. FML
Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML
Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML
Today, I was running late to class and slipped down a staircase. Not only did nobody help me, but when I got up I noticed an old man staring at my ass. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop. As I headed over to stand in line, I tripped over my own feet. I got back up, then tripped up yet again. Everyone was staring, and I was so mortified that I went to leave. I then struggled with the door under their glares before realising it opened the other way. FML

Nah, just trying to make the best of a bad situation.
MuseFan1991 14
that would probably happen to me. it generally does when i try to be funny :/

This would have been a better comment had it read "Go home OP, you're drunk."
XxDevilxXGt 26
OP just wanted to cancel out the upwards fall, then it could be like it never happened.

Normally, all the world is a stage. I guess this time it was comedy central.

The only thing that could make it better for me is if you knocked a few other people over when you fell down the stairs. Hope you're ok though!

43, more like America's Funniest Home Videos.

I hope someone at least got it on to you tube.

Excellent point 62. Maybe then they could get $10,000 out of the deal

Sorry 3 I meant to thumb you up! Lets say you're at 43 instead of 41

Sorry, but the smoke in your pic makes it look like you're orally pleasuring someone.

I actually thought that at first too.

Did you have a nice trip? How was your fall?;)

The Pun Society approves this pun.

20 - Bullshit. Illuminati approved of this pun.

It's *have a nice trip see you in the fall*.
ladyLALAA 29
It can also be "Have a nice trip, see you next fall." There's more than one way to skin a cat!
kevsandy303 12
Skin a cat? I know he was ding dong ditching you, but that's a bit harsh!
A7XCamaro 19
Don't forget that this could be the same cat that jumped on OP's lap and farted in her face. I'd say it's pushing its luck on not getting skinned these days.

Well at least you don't seem to have injuries like a broken arm. But seriously what luck you have. The stairs owned you, TWICE!

Gravity hates you.

They obviously didn't respect the gravity of the situation.

Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch

Ydi -_- "Adoring fans"? No. They are laughing at you for being a failure.
SomeRandomGuy15 18
OP was jokingly curtsying to try and play it off like it was an act, referring to the people laughing at him as his "adoring fans". Hence the quotation marks. And there's no need to call OP a failure for tripping on the stairs twice...

"FML's: 0 out 28 submitted" Fail
deathtothepix 26
oh snap.
asb818 14
And we're laughing at you for the same thing.

I tried as hard as I could but honestly could not discover or figure out one half of a way that this person could have deserved this.
not_a_robot 15
Who wouldn't try to play off such a fail, and also, it is very hard to make it to every lecture on time in college.
LebanonBaby 26
Oh my goodness i hope your not too hurt !!!

I hope you got a standing O for that performance and encore. Most people would bow their head in embarrassment. Good for you that you didn't. Oh and I'm glad that you're OK.
