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, 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

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

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

first of all, it might of been an old chair that was worn out. If not, it could be that you gained weight because muscle ways more than fat... FYL for thinking you're too fat

FYL for being ignorant. It takes almost twice as much energy to sustain a pound of muscle, than it does a pound of fat. But a pound of muscle = a pound of fat. duh.

This FML is really poorly written. It makes it sound like you didn't sit down for 3 months...

Same happened to me, except I broke three chairs (one was not my fault, I was just involved...and they were those cheap plastics mind you) :] Agreed with #4.
