Today, my phone started ringing in the other room. I ran to go pick it up, tripped over my coffee table which gashed my leg, and knocked over my brand new 50" LCD TV, which broke over my head. Turns out it was a wrong number. FML

Today, I was lying on the sofa when the phone rang. I jumped up to answer in time. I knocked over my laptop, and kicked my guitar into a glass causing it to smash. It was a wrong number. FML

Hurry up

Today, I was waiting at home for a phone call. While I was in the bathroom, the phone rang. I quickly stopped my business and ran out of the bathroom with my pants round my ankles. I leaped over the couch, tripping and then stubbing my toe while hopping to the phone. It was a telemarketer. FML

Lesson learned

Today, I was daydreaming in bed when my phone rang from across the room. I scrambled out of my covers, tripped over a pair of boots I had by the bed, and slipped on some jeans laying on the floor. Luckily, I answered my phone in time, but only to have my mom tell me to clean my room before she got home. FML

Today, I accidentally slammed my leg against the coffee table. It was only after I went to the bathroom a few minutes later that I realized there's now a massive gash on my upper leg. I also got in trouble for yelling, "SON OF A BITCH!" as soon as the impact occurred. FML

Today, I was walking into my living room when I slipped over the carpet, bashed my head on my glass table, and was moaning in pain on the floor. My parents came running when they heard my head bang… straight to the table, to see if there were any scratches on it. FML

Today, I was standing on a desk at work to run wiring in a suspended ceiling, since we have no ladder. My phone rang, I rushed to answer it, tripping and smashing my leg. It was my boss, calling to tell me he was bringing over a ladder. FML

Today, I stayed home, sick in bed. I had been sleeping on my arms. I got up quickly to grab the phone. My numb left arm rocketed and punched me in the (now cut) lip, which threw me off balance, making me smash my (now bloody) nose off of the headboard. It was a telemarketer. FML

Today, while trying to find my phone in the depths of the sheets on my bed, I gave my comforter a huge shake. A second later, I heard a crash. My phone had miraculously flown straight into the glass of water on my nightstand. Found it. FML

Today, I got a text message. My phone was sitting on the edge of the bed and set on vibrate, so it fell off. I reached down to grab my phone and fell off the bed. My macbook landed on top of me. I fractured my arm and broke my laptop to read a text from facebook. FML

Maybe you should sober up before running in the house.

Because I'm sure the first thing on your mind after gashing your leg and busting a 50" HDTV over your head was to post the story on FML instead of, say, seeking some form of medical attention.

Omg, **** your life! That's about the worst thing that can happen. Nicely worded though. Btw, everyone is so mean here, he/she accidentally tripped, happens to everyone, and it doesn't make them an idiot.

You must be pretty rich, having to run from one room to another in time to answer the phone... just buy yourself a new TV and leg.

25: Yes there is a way to know. It's called get a phone that says "Call from" or "message from" when you get a call or text message. I have a phone like that. That's how i know if it is worth my time to actually answer it

and 88: Did you know that if you said Gullible slowly it sounds like green beans? Oh and I totally had something like this happen once. Today, my phone was on the other side of the STATE and I had to run to it and tripped over an ant and flew out the window. I fell two stories out the window, cracking my head open and breaking my neck. Then, despite the fact that I should be dead, I am here posting this as a comment on FML. Oh! And I forgot to mention. It was a telemarketer who had the wrong number. Now I am out cold for...EVER. FML (end sarcasm)
