Today, as I entered a stairwell, the fire alarm went off, triggering the automatic fire doors to close. The one I was walking through ran over my foot, ripping my toenail, and then smacked me in the face. FML

If op was on a stairwell why would the doors close? Don't you use the stairs in a fire?

You deserved it if you went through the door that said: do not open, alarm will sound.

Exactly Wut I was thinking.. No where in the FML did I say any of those words

...and this is why you should wear shoes...

Seeing that the OP is from California, he/she was probably wearing open toed shoes like flip-flops.

Did you go to the building manager and tell him what happened? And did you take pictures of your injury? Because you can sue over that. But if you didn't start the process before you left the building then it's too late.

Im not huge fan of big lawsuits.. just wanna throw it out there. Sure, sue for the cost of the medical treatment and the drugs.. perhaps a little extra for the time wasted with the doc... but you dont deserve to be a millionaire... Not that you would do that OP :)

That's kind of rude.."u don't deserve to be a millionaire" and I guess all the people who sit on there ass all day trying to pretend like they are doin something important deserve to be millionaires.. Etc etc

The doors close on the stairways to stop smoke and fire spreading easily through a building - otherwise its an open passage.

We had doors that would close automatically whenever the fire alarm would go off at the hospital where I worked. They would divide the unit and also close off stairs.
