Today, my shoulder was pulled out of its socket when I was helping a customer load a desk into his vehicle and he decided to answer his cell phone. FML

Kinda sus, dude

Today, I had to go to the ER to treat a sprain on my left arm. What caused it? A phone. You read that right. A phone. Particularly, my husband’s phone. It was on the table where I was standing and with one swift motion, he yanked my arm, pulled me out of the way, and snatched the thing. FML

A mother's love

By Anna - 02/08/2024 14:00 - Australia - Melbourne

Today, I was stranded on the couch with a sleeping baby. I had my phone, but everything I wanted to do needed both hands, or sound. I was toying with my phone on my lips when someone texted me, causing the phone to vibrate my teeth, which hurt, and to avoid my baby falling, I crunched my shoulder and pulled a muscle. FML

Today, while driving, I got a call on my cell phone. Trying to be safe and avoid an accident, I pulled into the nearest parking lot before answering. While I was turning in to park, someone rear-ended me. FML

Today, I was at work, when I got bored and started spinning around in my chair for a little fun. As I was spinning, I went to grab my phone. I missed and sent my phone flying, hitting my coworker in the face. My boss witnessed the whole thing. FML

Bullshit quack chiropractor on the loose!

By Paulie89 - 20/10/2019 12:00

Today, I told my family how my wrist has been hurting for almost a week. My aunt’s chiropractor boyfriend then decided he could help by suddenly pulling my hand as hard as he could. Not only did my wrist pop and cause me more pain, but my shoulder got dislocated. 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

That's part of why I hate cell phones. It's so rude when someone shirks what they're supposed to be doing at the moment to talk to someone who isn't even present. Yes, I'm guilty of doing so...But don't think that I don't recognize the irony of the fact that I used to hate people who did that before I got a cell phone. I also hate the fact that anyone can call you at anytime. It's like someone is standing right next to you saying, "Pay attention to me, pay attention to me!" Goodness. Okay, rant over.

Obviously the phone call was more important than your shoulder. Say, it might have been the wife demanding toilet paper rolls. If he went home without it because he didn't answer the call, we'd be dealing with worse than a dislocated shoulder. *cough*

Maybe it was his wife calling to tell him that she had started bleeding uncontrollably out the ass or something. Jesus Christ dude, way to make it all about you.

True, but the dude who answered the phone should have a) waited to answer it since he can't predict who's calling and/or why, or b) let OP put the desk down so he didn't hurt himself when the other dude dropped it to answer the phone.
