Today, I didn't wear my contacts. Determined to prove to my friends I didn't need them, I read all the signs in sight. I couldn't read a particular one, so I began to walk closer. Suddenly I fell on my face, bruising my cheekbone. The sign said: "Caution: Watch Your Step." FML

Today, I fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML

Today, I tripped on a step that said "Watch your step." Two hours later, I hit my head on a sign that said "Mind your head." FML

Today, I inadvertently gave passers by the middle finger as I tried to stop my glasses from sliding off my face. FML

Today, I was walking down the street when I saw a friend I hadn't seen in years. I was so excited to catch up with her that I ran across the street without looking and almost got hit by a car. I ended up stumbling out of panic and landed on a pile of trash on the sidewalk. FML

Today, I wore a pair of glasses with no lenses because I thought I'd look smarter. I ended up poking myself in the eye several times, leaving it swollen. So much for making me look smarter. FML

Today, I walked into a glass door at a busy mall. Not only did I face-plant in front of a crowd, but I also left an almost perfect imprint of my face on the glass. FML

Today, I was walking down the street with my friend, one I walk down every day, and I saw a really cute guy nearby. I felt like I looked better than usual, so I turned my head to offer a smile, and walked right into a pole. The impact was strong enough to send me falling to the floor. FML

Today, I was walking next to this building that was getting renovated, and read a sign that said "Watch out for falling debris at all times." While I was watching out for debris, I fell down a staircase. FML

Today, I slipped on a wet floor at the supermarket and busted my nose. It wouldn't be as embarrassing if I hadn't missed the "CAUTION: WET FLOOR" sign that I'd put there myself just 30 minutes earlier. FML

Today, I fell over a wet floor sign warning you not to fall over. The irony hurt more than the fall. FML

4 is right - in a sense. Some people only need glasses for certain things, like reading fine print. I on the other hand can't see 5 inches in front of my face without my glasses

#2 - yeah they have been approving a lot of stupid ones lately That's why I wear glasses over contacts, cause they're so easy/quick to put on. I do hope you don't ever try to drive without contacts on #4 - if you're legally blind without glasses you SHOULD NOT be driving without them

I agree with 14. How is this a FML? It's not like you forgot your glasses and that happened while looking for the.... YDI

You're an idiot and definitely deserved this one. Just get over the fact that you have shitty eyesight and save up for LASIK. That's my plan. I enjoy the irony of this one, though.

you got them prescribed for a reason. Now hoping they find a cure for being an idiot so they can prescribe it too. YDI

Yeah, I have glasses but my vision is good enough without them that I can pass the vision test to legally drive without them, so fairly close to normal. 20/30 isn't that bad. Glasses just make things clearer for me. But if you knew that your vision was that bad you shouldn't have been trying to prove something.

Ydi for being an idiot. If you have a prescription, it's for a reason. Dumbass.

There's nothing wrong with glasses.well of course if you wanna ever see clearly again. Over half the population has them. And if your so ashamed shoulda taken better care of your eyes.
