Today, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML

Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. 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 fell down a flight of stairs. The guy behind me was kind enough to ask if I was okay. He then called his friends over so they could laugh at me. FML

Today, my roommate texted me and warned me to be careful on the stairs leading to our place because they were icy. I got the message. After I fell down an entire flight of stone stairs. FML

Today, I was getting ready for school and stepped out on my porch to go wait for the bus. I literally said out loud, “Today is gonna be a good day.” I took one step and fell all the way down the stairs. FML

Today, with a single misstep, I managed to send myself and several others tumbling down a stairwell at work. An ambulance ended up having to be called for one lady. FML

Today, I fell down the stairs twice. I fell from the top, stopped in the middle, stood up, stepped down one more step, tripped, and fell down the rest of the stairs. FML

Today, I was heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. FML

Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML

At least the part in your hand didn't get stuck up your ass. Then you would've had a bigger problem.

*meanwhile in 'heartoflead's' mind* OP: "Excuse me sir, you should be very cautiousas to climbing up these stairs. They are very loose and perhaps some even undone, let me demonstrate. *OP proceeds to grab on to a rail and tumble down the stairs*

Well that was nice of you to show him first hand how worn down it was. I don't care what anyone says you're a good person in my book.

Agreed. OP here may have put on a demonstration (Which, by the way, I hope you're okay!), but gave a heads up to someone else so they didn't end up injured themselves.

whenever i see people warning other people about loose stuff, sharp things etc, i instantly zone out because i can see where its going. maybe OP should stop lecturing others on the dangers of life and concentrate on not injuring themselves
