Today, I treated myself to a Thai massage. The masseuse was so aggressive and intense, she left me with injuries on my hands and back. I paid $60 for someone to hurt me. FML

Today, I got a massage. Just as I was starting to relax, the massage therapist drooled on my face. FML

Today, I was in pain due to overdoing it at the gym yesterday, so I thought a hot shower might help. Not only was there no hot water because of my sister's hour long showers, but I slipped getting out and hit my head. Now the pain is worse. FML

Today, I went for a much needed relaxing massage. As I lay down, the renovation works in the next building started up. FML

Today, my wife left her curling iron on the bed, which was dangerous enough, but I also accidentally sat on it after my shower. Now I have a burn on the bottom of my balls, which has turned into a painful blister. FML

Today, I was applying some Icy Hot to my sore thighs, when I accidentally got a little on my dime sacks. For the next hour, it felt like someone had lit a match under my plums. FML

Today, I finished a full marathon and just wanted to relax and get pampered by my husband afterwards. Instead, I spent the evening taking care of him and his back because he had a spasm. Don't worry, he feels much better now. Meanwhile, I can’t move my legs. FML

Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML

Relax

Today, in the attempt to have a relaxing self-care evening, I ran a bath, threw in some bath salts then put a face mask on and hopped on in. After about 7 minutes of relaxing, my back started burning, so I got out only to discover the bath salts have given me a rash. FML

Totally agree! I always decline those...I can't imagine how that could be soothing.

Why would you think anything with the word stone and massage in the same sentence be relaxing

Well if it was stoned and massage I might have signed myself up.

I do believe that a lawsuit is in order. Even if you signed a waiver, if they overheated the rocks you can get paid for your troubles.

Ooft, Burns suck! But the 'Hot stone' In 'Hot stone massage' should've been hint. Maybe OP has sensitive skin?

I never thought those hot rocks were that beneficial to pay for it. What they should do is have them put under a mattress, then you lay on it, and relax. Regardless no one should pay for burning! Sorry that you had a bad experience!

Hot stone massages are amazing, if done correctly. (Just for the people questioning why one would want to get it done.) They always (should) check the temperature before placing the stones on you. Sounds like you went to someone without experience. FYL

Yep, this right here. I guess if OP ever does go try it again s/he will make sure they check. Or I'd hope anyway. That's not a mistake that warrants repeating.

If it was me I'd throw a hot stone at them. Just cause I'd hate to get blemishes from that.

Yes, because op would pick up the object that gave her second-degree burns.

Today, after six months of doing the job of 2 people, because all my coworker does is sleep and sit down with her phone, I told my boss that I can't be doing my coworker's job and getting the same salary as her. My boss added just $10 to my salary and told me to let her carry on doing nothing, while I still do the work of 2 people. FML

Today, I discovered why my new boyfriend likes his sex slow and loving, like super slow. It’s because, despite being in shape, he’s so unfit that if he tries to go hard and fast he struggles to breathe and passes out on top of me. Guess my love life is limited to one mile an hour now. FML

Today, I was working alone in the office with my brother. He's run out of work to do, so has been singing Disney songs loudly and badly, throwing stationery at me, and just now snuck up on me from behind and wrapped duct tape round my face. It's just us in the office next week. FML
