Today, I got industrial toilet cleaner in my eyes. Despite the raging fire party going on behind my eyelids, I resisted the urge to stop, drop, and roll, and calmly got in the shower to wash it off. Wherein I promptly slipped, fell, and whacked my head full-force on the bathtub on the way down. FML

Bad start to the day

Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML

Today, I woke up so hungover that when I went to the bathroom and caught sight of myself in the mirror, I screamed, slipped backwards, and smashed my head against the rim of my bathtub. FML

Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. 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, while taking a shower, a spider fell from the ceiling onto my foot. I took down my shower head to wash it down the drain, and in the process, got soap in my eye and rammed my head into the wall. 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

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 had to take a serious piss. I started urinating and leaned back slightly on my heels. Somehow I lost my balance and fell backward, hitting my head on the wall behind me and spraying myself and my entire bathroom with my own pee. FML

Today, while trying to relax because I'm sick and I feel like crap, the shower head attachment fell and hit me on the head. FML

Today, I was taking a shower. Having epilepsy, I seized, tripped over the edge of the tub, and smashed my face against an open toilet, breaking my nose. FML

I think the story on how you got industrial toilet cleaner in your eyes would make a better FML ;)

#26: No. In labs they have emergency "showers" for this very reason. Well actually they have fountains that spray water into the eyes for the reason #21 stated, but seeing how this person was at home, the shower is probably the next best option. And I seriously doubt he got enough of it on him to cause damage to the rest of his skin in the shower. For one, it's diluted as soon as the water hits it. Second, if he got enough of it in his eyes to cause burns or irritation on his skin as it washes away, he'd probably be blind. I'd like to know how you did it. I worked in a lab with Hydrochloric acid daily and as much as you try to follow safety rules, you'll still end up with burns. Half of the clothes I wore ended up with holes in them even though I wore a lab coat daily. Haha. I feel your pain though. I had the tiniest bit of diluted HCl splash up into my eye (yes, I was wearing protective goggles) and it hurt like hell.

even if you stopped at "i got industrial cleaner in my eyes" it still would have been an fml. you seem kinda clumsy. and to #19-people like you are always ruining fmls for all of us. fake ones are more rare than you suspect, and skepticism ruins the spirit of the fun.
