Holidays: Today, I'm in Mexico and am supposed to be skydiving for my Christmas...

Today, I'm in Mexico and am supposed to be skydiving for my Christmas gift. Instead, I'm coming out of the hospital with x-rays, an ankle splint, and a $800 bill because I fell on the bottom step of a flight of stairs. FML

Today, my family and I were just about to leave the house for the vacation that I had been saving up for 3 years. I was coming down the stairs with a heavy suitcase and I tripped and fell breaking my leg, now my family's gone without me while I'm in hospital. I paid for the vacation. FML

Christmas is treacherous

Today, I decided to take my girlfriend out to look at Christmas lights and get hot chocolate. While cleaning my snow-covered truck, I slipped and broke three bones in my ankle, and now need surgery. FML

Today, it's been a few days since I moved into a new apartment and was excited to finally have a balcony. I went out to enjoy the view, but as I leaned against the railing, it gave way and I fell two stories onto the pavement below. I ended up with a broken leg and a huge medical bill. FML

Today, I went to the emergency room for a broken collarbone. This wouldn’t be so bad if my parents hadn’t paid $20,000 for me to go to a snowboarding academy all winter. Today was day one. FML

Today, I fell on a crack in the pavement and broke my ankle. Next week, I'm supposed to fly interstate to be on a quiz show I've spent two years in the audition process for. FML

Today, I went to an indoor trampoline park. This would usually be fun, except that I got there, broke my ankle, and left in an ambulance, all before my friends even arrived. FML

Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML

Falling Down

By Anonymous - 10/08/2020 02:12

Today, I woke up in hospital. Apparently, I fell down the stairs, broke 3 ribs, one toe, and hit my head so much that 12 stitches were needed. I also blacked out for an hour before my husband found me covered in blood. Recovery should take about a month and a half. FML

Today, after spending two hard months losing 20 pounds of my 80 pound goal, I was actually excited to exercise. After I was done exercising, I fell down the stairs and broke my ankle. FML

Today, I fell down a flight of stairs at college. I was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle and had to call my parents to drive me home. They constantly made passive-aggressive remarks on the way home, because I'd "totally ruined" their plans to eat out at a fancy restaurant tonight. FML

4's correct sentence would be "An, not a, idiot." So much for "grammar police," you don't even know basic comma and punctuation rules.

At least you did not get the *****. You should have demanded FREE health care like the ******* Mexican illegals get in the USA.

Actually, Mexico has free health care. For everyone. The only reason he'd get charged was if he went to a private doctor, and if he did he's an idiot for doing so. Otherwise, all other clinics are pretty much free and if he just said he was a national, he would have been fine. Which is what some people do here so they can live, I'm assuming if you were in mexico on vacation, you'd probably lie too in order to get your self patched up for free. I'm going to assume most of you have never been Mexico, but when my brother went to Mexico and broke his foot, he got it patched up COMPLETELY for free, all my dad had to pay for was the bandages they wrapped him with. So while you might be mad that the "illegals" are getting free health care, they're over there giving it away.

What are you complaining about? It's only $800. Consider yourself lucky it wasn't... oh wait. 800 dollars? FYL. (to those who don't get it: By $800 I meant 800 pesos [about 70-odd dollars or a bit less])
