Health: Today, my shoes were rubbing against my heel so much that one...

Today, my shoes were rubbing against my heel so much that one heel started to bleed. Not having any plasters, I stuffed some tissue down my shoe. When I walked off the train, a wad of blood-stained tissue fell out the back of my shoe. The guy behind me didn't think it came from my shoe. FML

Today, I rubbed my heel raw with a new shoe, so I put a bandaid on and went to the pool. A few minutes later, I noticed the bandaid floating close to me. I'm not an ass so I quickly fished it out and put in the pocket of my swimming trunks. Later, I went to shower and noticed that my bandaid was still on my heel. FML

Today, my girlfriend, her grandma, and I were leaving her house to eat lunch. I stubbed my toe on the door while exiting. It hurt, so I stood there shortly in pain. I heard my girlfriend's grandma call me a "pansy". I later saw blood and took off my shoe. My whole toenail had come off of my big toe. FML

Today, I was waiting for the train. It arrived, I got on and the woman behind me stepped on the back of my shoe. My shoe came flying off and landed in the gutter between the train and the platform. The doors closed, the train pulled away. FML

Today, I was on a crowded bus on the way back from my boyfriend's when I suddenly had a terrible nose bleed. I had no tissues, so instead I had to use last night's underwear from my bag. FML

Today, I was walking in my apartment when I felt something stab my foot. Thinking it was a piece of glass, I looked down. It was one of my roommate's toenail clippings. FML

Today, I wore a new pair of shoes to work. By lunchtime, my feet were covered in blisters and I had to limp my way through the rest of the day. FML

Clipper time

Today, I once again woke up to find a huge gash on the back of my foot with blood pouring out. Turns out, I scratched it with my other toenail in my sleep. This is the ninth time this has happened. FML

A little stiff and rusty

Today, I went for a run to get in shape for the first time in ages. I put on my running shoes and hit the pavement. Halfway through, the sole of one shoe came off, and I had to hobble back home in embarrassment. FML

Not my day, is it?

Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML

Today, after I drank way too much, my friend pulled the car over so I could throw up. Next to my pile of puke was a discarded shoe that looked remarkably like one from my favorite pair. When I got home, I realized that my left shoe was missing. FML

Things I would say because i dont know: Sorry, had a bloody nose. I think this is yours. Can we "drop" this topic. How's you're day going?

Something's not quite right with that last one. Does anyone know the number to call the Grammar Nazis?

I got really confused when I saw it said "plasters" but then I realized I was being an idiot american

No, calling yourself an "idiot american" makes you an idiot American. Having to translate plasters to an American equivalent makes you normal, regardless of how hip it is to bash on "Muricans"... How about having enough self-respect to not cater to this stupidity? Wouldn't that be something?

Even though I don't think I've ever heard that word before, I knew what the word "plasters" meant by the context of the surrounding words. I didn't have to think about it at all. It was automatic. Context reading, dude. It helps a lot in life to know how to context read. I'm American and yes, there are many stupid Americans, just as there are many stupid people in every country.

Maybe OP was a Male, guys?

While some males wear heels, it is a fairly safe inference that the OP is female...

Your not an idiot! Plasters is just a term we don't often use or hear. Fml is so educational I'm going to say that next time I get hurt.

I'm sorry OP, I know how crazy and painful blisters can be. I used to put tissue in my shoes all the time to stop the bleeding. If I were you I would've showed the guy my heel immediately and said "look at this before you assume things!"

Look at the tissue, then at him, then cough dramatically and stagger towards him. Whisper "I don't have much time...the bleeding is too profuse....please...." And cling to his coat.
