Miscellaneous: Today, I was vigorously putting primer on my canvas for a beginning...

Today, I was vigorously putting primer on my canvas for a beginning painting class. I accidentally sprayed specks of primer on the very dark painting to the right of mine. The painter is in an advanced class. She's been working on this one all semester. There's no one to her right. FML

Today, as a respected artist, I was running a workshop with a bunch of rowdy college kids. I was in the middle of demonstrating a painting technique when I accidentally washed my paintbrush in my coffee instead of my paint water. They waited until I then drank from it to burst out in hysterics. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a beginners’ painting class. She and everyone else was able to produce a painting significantly better than mine, and I got laughed at for my lack of skill. I’ve been painting for twenty-five years. FML

Today, I finally finished my art project, which was worth 50% of my quarterly grade. I came in first period to give it to my professor. When she turned to look at it, her elbow hit her coffee and spilled it all over the canvas. I got 60%. She said I would have had a 100%, except for the giant coffee stain. FML

Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML

Today, I brought my best painting yet to college. I showed it off and everyone loved it. Or almost everyone. When we came back from lunch break, we found someone had sharpied the words "JIZZ BUTT" all over it. That painting took two weeks to finish. FML

Today, I was painting cabinets for the children's area in my church. While painting, I dropped my brush and got black paint on a white part. I tried to wipe it off. Now there's a very visible smudge that looks like a penis. FML

Today, I was working on a painting and went to take a sip of my tea. Instead, I took a swig of paint water. FML

Today, while painting a wall, I handed a bucket of paint up to my friend who was standing on the top rung of a ladder. She said she felt dizzy, and came crashing down on me, along with the paint on my head. FML

Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML

Today, I went to buy some spray paint for a project. I've never used a spray can before, so I decided to try it on paper provided. Unfortunately I didn't hold the can the right way and ended up with black, permanent, paint all over my face in the middle of a store. FML

Last time I checked, that's why you don't "vigourously apply primer." ESPECIALLY around other peoples work. You were basically asking for an accident.

YDI, and FHL. You shouldn't have been "vigorously" putting on primer to the point where you're spraying it everywhere. Learn how to not act like a jackass in the studio, and until you do, stay the hell away from other people's work.

That's what you get for going to a Pinch Pot and Stick Figure class. Just kidding. But I do feel bad for you.

Yes it's a painting, but obviously it matters to the painter. It's not "trivial bullshit," it's art. Plus, it says that they were in a class, meaning the painting was probably an assignment. If somebody screwed up something you'd been working on for months, wouldn't that matter to you?

YDI even more because you added in "there's no one to her right." I guess you weren't going to man up and say sorry if there was someone to blame...

You should be more careful. I've been in an art class where careless people (kinda like OP here) have messed up my artwork either intentionally or because they did something dumb... like knocked the painting over, or splattered paint everywhere, etc. and it really sucks when you've worked hard on something just to find it ruined. Especially because in class, the artwork is for a grade. I know my teacher deducts points if your painting is all messy with splotches of random colors, even when they're ones that someone else caused to be there.

Too much of a pussy to shoulder the blame with the "No person to your right" comment I take? Be thankful you're still alive, I'd gut the idiot that ****** up my work like that.

Hmm, you "accidentally" ruined someone else's months of hard work to save two minutes on your own piece of crap? Look into your school's MBA program, because you'd make a great investment banker.
