Today, my dad set my hair on fire while cooking. He then tried to convince me that it spontaneously combusted. FML

Today, I threw a bonfire for my birthday. My boyfriend managed to set my leg on fire by throwing his liquor bottle into the fire. Happy birthday to me. FML

Heart of Glass

By blahblahblah - 15/04/2020 20:00

Today, I was sitting on a stool by the stove while my dad was making stir-fry. The glass lid he had covering the skillet overheated and exploded. As huge shards of broken glass rained down on his only daughter's head, my dad's only concern was whether or not he would have to throw his food away. FML

Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML

Today, my dad used the stove to boil water. Unfortunately, he turned the wrong burner on, setting the smoke alarm off. What's worse was the smell of burning plastic that came from the coffeemaker being melted down. It's been over an hour, and my eyes still burn like hell when I walk into the kitchen. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were at dinner with his parents when he discreetly slid his hand up my skirt and tickled me. This caused me to kick his dad's recently broken leg. FML

Today, my family and I were burning our Christmas tree. For a laugh, my dad jokingly pushed me toward the fire. I tripped, and my doctor says the burns are probably going to scar. FML

Leg on fire?

If he was wearing pants and his leg only caught on fire then that's pretty impressive. Unless his dad wore shorts to a candlelight dinner.

She/he could have been eating with the entire family.

It's Ho Chi Minh, so probably no electricity. ...except Op is on the internet, somehow.

Actually, It's really popular to use go to a computer cafe there. I have cousin who lives there and she goes to those to play games. So actually Op might not be lying

It could have been one of those adorable father/daughter things.

He or she could have been out with the whole family, with the SO and parents, or even just dinner where there happened to be candles at the restaurant. This is not weird at all imo...especially when I was a kid/teen, my parents, brother and I went out to dinner all the time.

Ok I will ask. Why the hell did you have a romantic candlelit dinner with your dad?

Who said it was romantic and who said OP was alone with his/her father?

#11 I have a feeling it was something religious when they light candles for some purpose .. I don't know...?

Maybe power went out after food was cooked, or trying to save on energy bill ?

Candlelight dinner with your father?! Well I hope he's okay, anyway.

Today, my daughter came home in tears, completely distraught. It took half an hour to convince her to tell me what was wrong. What horrific thing happened to her? One of her friends wore the same outfit as her to the movies, and apparently that's a betrayal of their friendship. FML

Today, I'm so tired from constantly soothing my crying 2 month-old baby that I've started trying to soothe inanimate objects with baby talk whenever they make a noise. My fridge started beeping and I began an involuntary chorus of, "It's OK darling, shhhhhh, it's alright." FML

Today, the choir director I’m playing drums for sent an email saying we’d changed venues, but didn’t say where it was, making me hunt for this venue, and making me nearly late to rehearsal. The bass player was here on time. How did she find the venue? The director's Facebook. FML

Today, after a long and stressful week, all I wanted was some time to myself with a few beers and a good video game. My girlfriend apparently disliked this, because she started blasting Cardi B, ran the vacuum behind me, and poured my beer down the sink when I used the bathroom. FML

Today, I was at Wal-Mart where all the aisles had been moved. An elderly woman asked me where the pet products were, so I told her that I didn't know, but showed her where they could be. An hour later, she came back with security. She'd told them I'd purposefully gotten her lost. They threw me out. FML
