Today, I found out that my wife gave me head lice on purpose so I would have to cut off the ponytail that I've been growing since '99. FML

Today, I thought about going to visit an old girlfriend of mine with hopes of getting a little head. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be head lice I'd get. FML

Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML

Hair issues

By Blake - 26/08/2022 00:00

Today, my wife is angry with me because after she'd convinced me to grow out my hair, it exposed my receding hairline. I shaved my head to the same appearance as when she married me, so I could feel more comfortable with my own body. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted to take a break. At least she gave me a parting gift. Lice. FML

Today, after finally spending the night with my longtime crush, it's as if I can still feel her fingers caressing my hair. But wait, no, that's just the head lice she gave me. FML

Natty dread

By why???? - 05/09/2022 08:00

Today, I’ve been growing dreads for two years after I lost my hair to chemo. After visiting my boyfriend’s family, we all contracted lice from the kids. Even though I did the shampoo and treatment, my locks are too coiled to effectively comb out all the nits. I have to shave my head again. FML

Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML

You don't have to cut it, but as a fellow longhair (been growing it since the 6th grade, and I'm now in 10th grade), I can sympathize. It's hard enough to keep it clean already.

It's not hard if you shower.

I call bullshit on this. You don't have to cut your hair off to rid lice. Nice try though, better luck next time

Wow dumbass, just because the OP made a mistake when he tried to get rid of lice, doesn't mean it didn't happen, lmao. He just had no idea what he was doing, which is kinda ridiculous.

YDI for having a ponytail. I don't see why your wife didn't just cut it off while you were sleeping.

OP: Your wife is a complete mush for not just chopping that hideous shit off with some scissors. There are two lessons here: 1) Your wife needs to grow a spine, that sneaky lice shit is nasty and 2) Guys with ponytails are complete douchebags - get over it, she did you a favor by forcing you to get rid of it!

So, what you're saying is that if you have a ponytail, then you're automatically a douchebag? Isn't that word better to describe someone who slams the door on people?
