Today, as I was doing my make-up, I needed a Q-tip to fix a mistake. I took one out the box and put it in my mouth to get it wet. Too bad someone had used it before to clean their ears. FML

Today, I was at my aunt and uncle's house. I went to the bathroom and after I washed my hands, I took a Q-tip out of the carton to clean my ears. When I reached for a second one, I noticed that every Q-tip in the carton was actually already used. FML

Today, I was in the bathroom in a rush to get ready. Without thinking, I put hand soap on my toothbrush. I didn't notice until it was already in my mouth. FML

Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML

Today, my 2 year-old had a large booger blocking his nose so I pulled it out. I was on the phone and absentmindedly rolling it around between my thumb and pointer finger. I put it in my mouth and crushed it between my teeth for a solid minute before I remembered what it was. FML

Today, I was talking to myself and got distracted when I was going to put chapstick on my lips. I took the cap off my deodorant and put it on my lips. FML

Absentmindedly

Today, I saw some reddish-colored stuff on my finger after wiping my face. I thought it was blood at first, so I smelled it, then licked it, I don't know why the fuck I did that but anyways, I later realized I'd wiped off some of my eyeshadow and frickin ate it. FML

Today, while brushing my teeth, I applied the toothpaste to my toothbrush when a few bristles got caught on the lip of the tube and flung a glob of toothpaste into my eye. My eye is now bloodshot, but at least it's minty fresh. FML

Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly lean in towards the mirror to pop the pimple meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML

Today, while undergoing the cumbersome task of screwing the tiny silver ball onto my lip piercing, I clumsily dropped it onto the counter and watched it bounce into the trash can, where it nestled snugly into a used maxi pad. FML

Today, I woke up and put my contacts in. It appears that I got drunk enough last night that instead of soaking my contacts in contact solution, I used mouthwash. FML

I don't understand why someone would put a used q-tip back in the box. Ew.

I was eating my cereal while reading this and honestly I just completely lost my appetite. That is horrifyingly disgusting

Why would anyone put one in their mouth? That's what the faucet is for

Saliva can provide better uses that water at times, also it's your own body of you think your saliva is gross you should probably clean your mouth. Saliva is good for getting makeup off in all honesty. And sometimes the faucet can be too harsh and drench the q tip.

So why didn't you just use the sink to get it wet in the first place confuses me

Because one usually expects Q-tips from the box to be clean.

Also your saliva is a solvent that can get makeup off easier than water

My lipstick comes off better from licking my lips than from rubbing with a water-wet (probably a better term but I just woke up and can't word right now) paper towel so I can see why op would use saliva.

"Water-wet paper towel" made me think of someone stuffing a paper towel in their mouth to get it wet because for some reason they didn't want to use the faucet.
