Today, due to an unforeseen pipe-related incident, I had to shave my legs in my backyard fish pond, while a plumber assessed the damage to my war-zone of a bathroom. FML

Same thing different taste

Plumbed out

Today, I tried to fix a leaking pipe under the sink. I watched a YouTube tutorial and was feeling confident that I could get the job done. Two hours later, half of the kitchen was practically flooded because I forgot to cut the water off, and scrambled to actually find the main valve, then I had to call an emergency plumber, who showed up, laughed, and fixed it in five minutes.

You couldn't just skip one day? I think fish pond legs are worse than stubble.

Can't you go a day without shaving your legs? Or just wear long pants?

Fish ponds have an awful amount of bacteria in them.. Couldn't you get an infection if you nicked yourself and got pond water in the cut?

Yea WTF lol just skip a day, wear long pants, or go to a friends house... But then again if you shave your legs in a fish pond you probably don't have friends

Its called possible infections if you accidentally nick yourself with a razor. there's a lot of algae and bacteria in that pond... btw there's fish poop in that water too

Really? I always thought fish excrement just magically disappeared after it was produced.

And, her next FML will be that she lost her legs due to contracting a flesh eating bacteria.....Shaving your legs in a bacterial infested, poop infested fish pond was not a smart move. A ton of bacteria grows in fish ponds along, with many different types of fungi. Also, fish are really bad about getting parasites, like worms and mites, along with microscopic organism that could easily find their way into your blood stream and then into important organs, like the liver, heart or brain.

What was so important that you just had to shave your legs in a backyard pond? I'm curious big time. Might I add gross you could have gotten all kinds of bacteria.
