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

Today, I found out the can of spray paint I got at Walmart yesterday has no spray nozzle, rendering it useless. I'm working on a project that needs to be done by the weekend, so I get to go wait in a huge line and risk being trampled to death tonight just to exchange one damn spray paint can. 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 was trying to change the batteries of my automatic room freshener. As I held it to my face to figure out where the batteries went, it started spraying on my face. FML

Today, I was painting the garage door. After 3 hours, I finally finished the job. As I was walking back inside, accidentally pressed the button that opens and closes the garage door. Not only did the paint job get messed up as it went up, the paint also dripped onto my parents brand new car. FML

Today, while spray painting a rocking horse for my kids I left the can outside in the sun. When I picked it up it was hot to the touch and I dropped it. It exploded on impact and now I am more blue than the rocking horse. FML

Today, someone switched my hairspray with bug spray when I didn't notice. I used it. FML

Today, I accidentally used wood stain instead of hairspray. Surprisingly, it doesn't come out that easily. 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, my son thought it would be a great idea to spray a whole can of spray tan all over my freshly-painted white bathroom walls as an "experiment". He's 18. FML

Point. Press. Do you end up with many photographs of your face instead of sunsets? Same concept.

How hard is it to check which way the nozzle is pointing? And usually the spray can nozzle has an arrow showing the direction. YDI

How does this happen when most aerosol ("spray") cans have an arrow on the top of the nozzle? Do we not know that arrows point away from the user? And how do you go through more than six years of your life not using an aerosol can? I'm gonna go somewhere easy to clean so that my head can explode in peace...

If nobody was that stupid, nozzles wouldn't have arrows on them in the first place. I mean, it should already be obvious enough by which way the hole is facing...

#26: I once heard about a man who had bleeding hemorrhoids, and was instructed to wear a pad to contain the bleeding. Instead of sticking it to his underwear, he stuck it to his hairy ass. Stupidity isn't determined by gender, but your comment shows your ignorance.
