Today, I'm so chronically sleep-deprived that I sprayed a bathroom air freshener under my arms instead of my deodorant. FML

Today, I sprayed hair spray under my arms instead of anti-perspirant. I didn't realize it until I went to put my shirt on and couldn't raise my arms. FML

Classic mistake

Today, I was getting ready for work and I sprayed my hair to stay in place, then went to spray deodorant under my arm, but noticed that it was super sticky. No wonder my hair spray smelled like baby powder, I'd confused one product with another. FML

Tanned pits

Today, I was getting ready for the school swimming carnival and was running very late. I reached for my deodorant and sprayed it on. It was only when I was at the pool that I realized I had accidentally grabbed the spray tan and covered my underarms in it. FML

Broke boy

By LemonTree - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - Hungary

Today, I realized that I'd run out of deodorant. On top of that, I was late to work so I had to run, making me all sweaty and smelly. To cover it up, I used the air-freshener in the toilet at work. Everyone recognized the "Lemon Tree" scent and now all of my colleagues think I'm a cheap bastard. FML

Today, I woke up with greasy hair, despite taking a shower last night. After washing my hair several times and it not going away, I realized that yesterday I put aerosol deodorant in my hair instead of hairspray. FML

Well, that would have been silly to walk around with silly string under one armpit

That's a silly thing to do.

Aww, too bad OP, Because of course silly string belongs in your bathroom.

Who said the deodorant was in the bathroom? Some people keep it in their bedrooms, where silly string could also be kept. Maybe it was on a dresser.

I suppose my only question is - who, in what world even owns silly string!? Let alone stores it conveniently RIGHT next to their deodorant in the exact same place!?!?!? LOL! YDI!

Armpit"s"? As in plural. Haha. It took you to the second one to realize it was not deodorant? Hahaha

ha ha ha I know right, OP didn't realize until their girlfriend was all like "WTF is up with your armpit hair lol

Actually it would be armpits not armpit's. The armpits aren't owning anything, except for silly string

Sounds like you need to BAN Silly String from your bathroom. You have to be a RIGHT GUARD to defend against such thoughtless behavior. However, if you need to get tough, why not ask for support from your friends OLD SPICE or BRUT 33? Just hop in your car, shift the SPEED STICK & drive over to the drug store, before your girl gives you the AXE for bein' so damn funky!

The old spice and brut 33 part didn't even make sense.

Old spice and brut 33 are the tough guys names.

I know, but the right guard and speed stick were a play on words. Old spice and brut 33 were said just to use other names :)

Well done, bubo. But I have to agree that the inclusion of old spice and brut was a little forced.

Today, I got home and found my girlfriend in bed with another guy. After the screaming, yelling, and kicking them both out of my house, all I wanted was whiskey. I found the bottle under the bed. It wasn’t enough the guy was porking my girlfriend, he had to drink my booze too. FML

Today, while I thought my brother was playing with my new phone, he was actually texting a bunch of my friends that I have chlamydia. He deleted his texts so I wouldn't see them, and I spent a half-hour trying to figure out why I kept getting texts of shock and sympathy. We're both in our 20's. FML

Today, my aunt, whom I live with, told me she is going to move out and demanded her half of the rent back, as she only spent two days a week there. When I told her that's not how rent works, she called my mom to tell her what a failure she had raised. Her own sons are unemployed drug addicts. FML

Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML
