Today, I was at a friend's pool party. He lives on a lake and one of our friends wouldn't get in the water. My best friend and I decided to push him off the dock. Once we had, I turned to see my crush who had watched looked shocked, then said, "You know he can't swim right?" FML

Today, I was at a pool party. My friend's little sister pushed me in the pool. When I got out, I pushed her in. She started screaming, and I started laughing because I thought she was pissed that I pushed her in. That wasn't why she was screaming. She can't swim. Her whole family witnessed it. FML

Today, a few of my friends arranged for us to go skinny-dipping with the guy I really like. It went really well, until a turd surfaced before our eyes. After we scrambled out of the pool in panic, my crush called us all freaks and left. FML

Today, we were hanging around the pool with a couple of friends and a crush of mine. Thinking I would be able to impress her with a well-performed dive off the diving board, I went up and attempted my best dive. I slipped as I jumped, hitting my head on the board. I had to be saved by the lifeguard. FML

Today, me and my friend were following this hot lifeguard around a waterpark. In the wave pool, I decided to be cute and "accidentally" bump into him during the waves to start a conversation. As I prepared to do this, a large wave pushed me off my feet and I fell face-first into his butt. FML

Today, my friend pushed me into the swimming pool. Unfortunately, we were eight feet away from the actual pool, so I face-planted and rolled in. FML

Today, I went to the university pool. There was this cute lifeguard there, and every time I got out of the water I saw her looking at me, so I walked up to her and asked if everything was OK. She told me she thought I was going to drown. FML

Today, I nearly drowned. I was at a wave pool for the first time and stupidly swam out to the deep end. When the waves turned on, I discovered I can't swim in rough water. Despite my yelling, "Help!" and flailing around, the lifeguard paid me no attention. My friend had to save me. FML

Today, I was tanning by the pool. My friend put his arms under my back and knees and picked me up. He threw me across the kiddy pool to my boyfriend, shouting "Catch!" My boyfriend didn't catch me. Instead of a tan, I have a huge bruise. FML

Today, my friend and I decided to go skinny-dipping in her pool just after we'd finished watching a scary movie. While we were in the pool, I heard something move in the bushes so I freaked out and ran onto the deck, slipping and falling flat on my back. Her dad saw the whole thing. FML

Today, I was at the pool, casually flirting with one of the lifeguards. He said that he would gladly give me CPR, in the event that I needed it. I laughed and thanked him, stating that it was a sweet idea, even though I wouldn't be needing assistance. I then choked on my bottled water. FML

I hate it when people are so stupid to do that! I mean, did you think you were being funny? I just hate dumass things like that. The guy probably just wanted to go to the party and have a good time with everyone even though he couldn't swim.

If he were fat, he'd float.

OP, im actually going to say fyl. because if you're going to a pool party, then be open and just say you can't say swim. then there won't be any accidents/'murder attempts'

Not everyone knows how to swim despite what some of you think. Where I live there's no access to pools, YMCAs, and the beach is far away. If someone pushed me into a pool I probably wouldn't drown, but I wouldn't be doing a ******* backstroke in there. How can you blame it on the guy's inability to swim? The OP was being an asshole. If he wanted to be in the water he would have freely gone in.

it was dumb on their part, but they didn't know. I can't swim to save my life. I took lessons and everything and I still can't.I dont know why but whatever. anyway, this fact is very embarassing so I make up excuses, even to my very close friends. and yes I do go to pool parties, why should I let the fact I can't swim stop me? I like parties and socializing just as much as anyone else.

wow, i am surprised no one asked if he had a cellphone in his pocket. he obviously wasnt going in so it seems likely he would. you dont push people in water unless you want to replace a phone at FULL price
