Today, after dieting and working out for almost 3 months, I sit down on my chair to finish off some work. It broke. FML

Today, I had a great workout and was feeling really good about my body. Until I sat on my desk, and broke it. FML

Today, I was promptly told to lose weight today by my computer desk when it broke under the weight of my leg. FML

Today, while at a family gathering, I sat down in a chair and it broke. Embarrassed, I picked myself up and sat down in another chair. That one broke too. I'm now the "fat girl" of the family despite weighing 90 pounds. FML

Today, I got a new chair at work. After spending 3 hours putting it together, I was called into my boss's office and let go. FML

Today, I was sitting at the computer browsing various websites. In my attempt to scoot the chair forward, I hit my knee against the desk that my computer was on, and ended up breaking it. I literally broke my knee sitting on my ass. FML

Fit as a fiddle

Today, I went to sit on a desk chair, which promptly rolled out from under me. This made me fall on my own foot, literally shattering two bones. I just bought a 9-month gym membership and can't use it because I wanted to sit down. FML

Today, my chair abruptly fell apart completely while I was sitting on it. I didn't even do anything. Have I really gained that much weight? FML

Today, I was arguing with a friend over whether or not I'm fat. She kept telling me that I was. Angry, I sat down on the chair beside her. It broke. FML

Today, I fell off my desk chair. Why? I failed to notice that the screws I'd been finding on the floor around my room for the past few months belonged to said chair. FML

Red tape

By Matei - 12/03/2015 00:36 - Romania - Bucharest

Today, after 4 years of nicely asking, I wrote an official memo to our logistics department, asking for new chairs for my subordinates. The logistics people came and concluded that there are more broken chairs than good ones, but suggested that perhaps we should all go on a diet. FML

I like how you make the work out part seem important. I highly doubt it broke cause you were too big

Maybe it was an old chair? Or it broke out of shock because you are so light (:

This has to be one of the worst FMLs ever.

Well, weight ≠ fat. So, I don't really see what the FML is here.

I'm with #4 on this. Chairs break all the time so you have nothing to worry about :) Besides, this isn't the worst that could happen. I have a really skinny friend who, on holiday to Italy, was perched on a glass table. The table shattered. So don't worry about it :)

Logic, heard of it? Chairs get old and fall apart, it doesn't mean you're fat. This should be fml, I have such a poor body image and reasoning skills, I assume if I sit on something and it falls apart it's automatically because of my weight, even if this has never happened before.

Today, I heard my sister masturbating in her room. I took the dog around the block to get out of the house, and I came back to see her leaving her room. She had my electric toothbrush in her hand. FML

Today, at work, I handed an old man his drink, and our fingers accidentally brushed. He gave me a creepy wink and a smile, but I ignored it. He's now been sitting in the store for two hours watching me. Only four hours to go until I get off. FML

Today, I was working at IHOP serving a table full of drunk idiots. After an hour of taking care of them I went to clean up their mess to find the tip they had left me. On a napkin a girl had wrote "Here's your tip for the night: Don't play leap frog with unicorns." FML

Today, at a family gathering, I was talking to my uncle about my "awful neighbor who smokes pot all day while listening to shitty bro country, and tries to cover the smell with cheap incense." After a moment of awkward silence, I remembered my cousin, his son, is my neighbor. He was more offended by the fact that I'd insulted his taste in music. FML
