Health: Today, after spending the past 4 days asking both my husband...

Today, after spending the past 4 days asking both my husband and my father-in-law to salt our sidewalk, I slipped on the ice. I hit my head on our concrete stairs. While holding ice on my head, my father-in-law pats my head and says "I'll go get some salt." FML

Today, I tripped over a ice block frozen to the ground and hit my knee hard on another. I had trouble getting up, so I asked my dad if he could give me a hand. He started clapping and walked away. FML

Today, on my way out to get salt for the driveway, I fell and split my head. I'm now sitting in the ER waiting room. FML

Today, I slipped on my icy front porch, fell back and hit my head on the step. I tried to get up, but lost my balance and fell halfway into the bush next to the steps. I then looked up to see my very hot, British, Ex-Special Forces next door neighbor laughing so hard he dropped his snow shovel. FML

Today, I walked outside, slipped, busted my head, and had to get 7 stitches. Turns out my son thought it would be funny to spray the sidewalk with water last night so it would freeze. He got a laugh, and I spent over $100 on the stitches. FML

Today, I was walking home from work, when I slipped and fell on a patch of ice. I clambered back to my feet, made it three feet, then slipped and fell again. A guy who'd witnessed the whole thing stuck his head out of his car window and yelled "Dumbasssssss!" FML

Today, I walked to the end of my driveway to pick up the newspaper. I read the front page that was talking about people who have been getting hurt from slipping on ice. Laughing about that thought and walking up my driveway, I slipped. FML

Today, I slipped on the ice in front of my apartment, spraining my ankle and cracking a rib. While I laid on the ground immediately after, my neighbor chewed me out for saying "shit" in front of her 4-year-old on my way down. FML

Today, my dad and I had an argument. Then we went outside to shovel the snow out of the driveway. I heard him yelling and figured he was just yelling at me some more, so I turned my iPod up so I couldn't hear him anymore. Turns out he had fallen, cracked a rib, and needed help up. FML

Today, I emptied out a bottle of water onto my porch as I was going into my house. Only a couple of hours later, I decided to leave and slipped on what had turned into ice, bruised my tailbone and sprained my wrist. FML

Today, I went snowboarding and fell backwards, hitting my head on a patch of ice. When I got home, I told my brother I thought I might have a concussion. He told me I should be a man and suck it, swiftly smacking my head, causing me to pass out. FML

Salt it yourself. Would that be so difficult?

Why didn't you salt it for yourself? You think it's more work than constantly bitching about it for four days? YDI.

You probably spent more time nagging than you would have spent salting the sidewalk yourself.

Women like you give us a bad name. Do you really need the big strong man to do it for you, since you are obviously so feminine and weak? Honestly, grow a ******* backbone and be a little bit independent. If you had an excuse not to, you would have put it in the fml. Twat.

hmm.. angry comments.. I personally think that the person wouldn't have thought it was a "FML" moment if she was sitting on her ass and just nagging... unless she is a fat ass....lol

There are a lot of people who feel entitled to such pampering, so it wouldn't surprise me if she was just nagging the entire time.

um so why do you need a MAN to salt your sidewalk? i've been salting our sidewalk since i was 10 years old. and yes i'm a girl. sheesh, if you want something done that badly, i dont see why you couldnt take a precious 10 minutes out of your day to do it yourself.

strange how all the comments say YDI, but more people actually voted FYL, more than twice as many at this point.

You buy a bag of salt for ice. You sprinkle it on the ice on the ground so that you won't slip on it. It works

Salt lowers the freezing/melting point of water, so it deters ice from forming in the first place as well as contributing to the melting of existing ice. By the way, you might find the following resource useful: GOOGLE.COM I found this article by googling "why salt for ice": http://science.howstuffworks.com/road-salt.htm So next time, google it yourself.
