Today, I found out that if you let your son install a new shower head, he won't tighten it properly. So when you turn the shower on, it will shoot out at rocket speed, hitting you in the face. Then when you grab the shower handle to prevent yourself falling backwards, you will just rip that out and hit your head again. FML

Today, my dad went to a hardware store to replace the broken shower head in my bathroom. He got the cheapest shower head he could find, and so when I took a shower, the shower head burst out and hit me square in the face. FML

Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML

Headshot

By home owner - 20/08/2010 06:14 - United States

Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML

Today, I discovered that if I turn my shower off for a minute, then back on again, the water comes out scalding hot. I discovered that while the showerhead was pointed directly at my genitals. FML

Hair care

By hairball - 22/04/2009 00:12 - United States

Today, my shower is being renovated so I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I put my two year-old son on the counter next to me so I could keep him close. As I was rinsing out my hair, my son started playing with the light switches. He flicked the garbage disposal by accident. FML

Panic! In the Bathroom

By MAWZ - 19/07/2011 06:33 - United States

Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML

Today, while showering, I finished off the shampoo bottle. I decided to see if I could shoot it into the trash can over the shower curtain. When I heard the successful "thunk", I got so excited I slipped and cracked my head open. FML

Today, as I turned the shower on, I got covered in gravy. Turns out, my friends had unscrewed the shower head, filled it with gravy granules, then screwed it back on. FML

Who turns on the water when they're already in the shower?

I don't know about you, but my shower starts freezing cold. I always turn it on and let it warm up for about 30 seconds before I jump in.

Does anyone else find it suspicious that the OP's account says he's 58 years old yet he has up a picture of a teenager? Did he steal his son's picture or something? I'm thinking this may be fake. Nonetheless, the FML was hilarious.

You know what I notice first about this FML? He says he "let" his son do it...I don't know about you, but if my child *wanted* to do something and I *let* him, it would be done absolutely right because he *wanted* to do it. It is only when I *make* my kid do something he doesn't want to do that he might screw it up because he didn't *want* to do it in the first place. Besides that, I would supervise the installation of something that pertains to the workings of my own home. YDI :) Enjoy those bruises!

I'm sure this isn't how it played out, but I'm imagining you getting into the shower, sticking your face RIGHT in front of the shower head with your eyes open as wide as possible, and turning it on full blast. Like you were testing it, or something. Honestly, if turning it on resulted in getting hit in the face, then weren't you in a position where if it HADN'T broken off, you would get blasted with water in the face instantly? Still doesn't sound all that pleasant. I always turn things on before aiming them at my face. ...That last sentence sounds kinda dirty.
