Miscellaneous: Today, my iPod dropped out of my pocket while I was walking....

Today, my iPod dropped out of my pocket while I was walking. Trying to be cool, I attempted to kick it back into the air to catch it before it hit the ground. Upon making contact with my foot, It ended up detaching from my headphones and flying 10 feet. Right into a sewer grate. FML

Today, I was on a crowded el train listening to my iPod touch. As I stepped off the train, my headphones got caught on a man's jacket and my iPod fell on the floor. The doors shut. I then watched the train pull away. With my iPod on it. FML

Today, I dropped my iPod Touch underneath concrete slab steps, and it's physically impossible to get it back. If you stand above where the iPod is, you can still hear it play music. It's like it's mocking me. FML

Today, while on the treadmill, my iPod fell and shot out underneath my feet. I got off to get it, and when I tried to get back on, I slipped and fell on my face on the moving track. The whole gym watched me get beat up by a treadmill and clapped when I finally got back on. FML

Today, I was listening to my iPod while changing the diaper on my baby. One earbud fell out of my ear and onto the changing table so I quickly picked it up without looking and put it back in my ear, only to realize the headphone had fallen onto more than a table. I now have brown earphones. FML

Today, I got new AirPods. As I was sitting on the toilet, they fell out of my hoodie pocket into the toilet while it was flushing. FML

Today, I dropped my Blackberry, but thanks to the protective gel case that I just purchased for it... it bounced and fell right into a sidewalk drainage sewer. FML

Today, I reached in between the couch cushions to see if my iPod had slipped in there. I didn't find my iPod, but I did find an old utility knife blade. With my fingers. FML

Today, I was taking my phone out of my pocket when it caught on the fabric and began to fall. I managed to catch it, but also smacked myself in the balls in the process. FML

Today, I left my brand new iPod Touch outside. There had been a drought for the past 3 weeks. Not anymore. FML

Today, I was trying to show my boyfriend how to shake my iPod to shuffle songs. When I went to shake it, it flew out of my hand and hit him in the face. FML

See? This is why you never "try to be cool." It never works; never. iPods aren't for kicking, you fool. YDI.

I think that pretty much any FML with a "I was trying to be cool and..." is an automatic YDI.

Instead of TRYING to be cool, & FAILING, one should actually BE smart.

Wow! You guys are harsh. The "trying to be cool" was just for the sake of smoother writing... I didn't post it looking for a therapy session! You're all so ridiculous... It's amusing.

Okay, being someone who understands the concept of wanting your writing to flow smoothly I have to say that I understand why you worded it the way you did. I don't understand where you go the therapy session comment from though.

He added the therapy session comment in so he can look cool and make his writing flow smoothly, of course.

Therapy session because it's like everyone is trying to lecture me on how I shouldn't "try to be cool" and "be myself." Because I always take my life lessons from the commentary on FMyLife... :D Also, I give you credit, that was pretty funny, Ash.
