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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OP- Ah, yes, that curtsy would have been something to see! Just leap up, broken leg, pelvis, bleeding from multiple wounds, whatever, take another bow and say "I meant to do that!!"- You'll be flooded with applause and your day will take a turn for the better that no trip to the hospital and no time in traction can take away from you!!!

How about don't be late and don't be a smart ass! ...and learn to fall with style.

How does one fall with "style?"

23- With a properly groomed wig, skimpy black dress, and the aroma of Chanel No. 5, that's how!

Trying to make a joke out of an embarrassing situation counts as "being a smart ass" now? o_O

The hell, fall with style? You fail at life

Lol your comments are the best.

You can only fall with style if you yell "To infinity, and beyond" first.

The first time you didn't deserve it. The second time you did, don't be a smart ass.

OP was just trying to be a good sport and laugh at herself. Hell, id probably be too embarrassed to even look at the people after that.
Obey_StudBoii 23
Tell me how she deserved it.
redblueflame 23
I don't get why you think she deserved it either. Making light of an embarrassing situation does not make you a smart ass, but rather it shows that OP has a sense of humor.

At least you were trying to make a joke out of it! I find people like that are awesome.
