I give this FML a 5. You've got the coordination of a drunk hobo with a blindfold on. I'm not sure how you fall all the way down to the ground without the ability to stop / slow yourself with your hands. Also, those high bar stools have a greater diameter of space between legs at the bottom than a regular chair (usually). You would have had to have been pretty far away from the table leaning in to the point where you were balancing on 2 legs BEFORE it would have 'flipped out from under you'. Only part that makes me cringe is the soda in your ear. I HATE shit in my ears. #32, I've never heard that. But I'm going to start saying it when it happens.

The waiter was just trying to make light of the mood? That's really funny though, awesome waiter.

Excepting #21, there are a lot of dicks here, eh? The waiter was just trying to make a negative situation positive! Not "look at that girl, she fell hard, how hilarious" -- but "hey, that's not a fall at all, it's an acrobatic performance!" He's taking the negative attention away from your fall -- stops people from thinking "what a klutz" and transfers it into humor. Sheesh.

This seems like a fake one. It would be completely rude of the waiter to say that.

Calm down #36, plenty of people who posted were not being dicks, myself included.

this is just funny! Definitely something that would happen to me.

APPLEBEES FTW!!1!

HAHAHAHAHA WIN. That's not an FML. If something like that happened to me, and a waiter had the balls to pull a move like that, I would be cracking up on the floor where I lay. I'd probably feel like a dumbass for falling over, but I would still be cracking up at the waiter. That's just pure WIN, I'm sorry haha.

YDI for eating at Applebees.

LOL at the waiter - I hope you gave him a big tip. But fall+sticky=definite FML.
