Today, in an attempt to save money on waxing, I bought Veet hair removal cream. I also discovered it has the same effect on carpets. Now I have to pay for a replacement. So much for saving money. FML

Today, I was using Veet instead of shaving, so that the razor wouldn't cut up my legs. I cut myself with the plastic utensil that you're supposed to use to remove the Veet. FML

Today, I tried to wax my own Brazilian. My housemate’s cat rolled onto a half-used wax strip on the floor. The poor cat now has a small, less-fluffy patch, and I still haven’t figured out how to wax myself. FML

Today, after begging for over an hour, I had to pay my sister $20 to wax my back for me so my bra would stop painfully pulling at the hair I repulsively seem to be growing there. FML

Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML

Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML

Today, I had my back waxed to deal with the uncontrollable hair growth. Afterwards, I broke out in numerous pimples where the hair used to be. Basically, a lose-lose situation. FML

Today, while waiting the required 5 minutes for my hair removal cream to work, my cat rubbed all over my legs while I wasn't looking. After getting clawed to death throwing her in the bath to get the cream off, all her hair on that side fell off. I now have a half hairless cat. FML

Today, I bought an expensive razor that's supposed to be great. My roommate asked if she could borrow it, and as her legs just looked like they needed touching up, I said sure. After a strangely long amount of time, she came back, thanked me and left. Her legs were still hairy. FML

Waxing pubical

By Anonymous - 10/10/2019 16:00

Today, I was waxing my legs and somehow dropped an enormous dollop of hot wax on my naked crotch. I refused to yank it off, but still had to cut it off with scissors. So now I have a huge patch of pubic hair way shorter than the rest of it. It looks a right mess FML

idiot. I'm pretty sure even monkeys know not to use that stuff over carpet. Just in case they don't, it says it on the bottle, which is something I would always read before applying a strong chemical to my skin.

Smooth away doesn't work at all, and shaving doesn't last as long. Stupid answer for a stupid question.

You can remove wax from carpeting with an iron and some paper towels. YDI

OP said she was using veet hair removal cream, which does not involve wax in any way. So Im not quite sure what point you're trying to make.

This is just stupid. Why would you use an item designed to chemically cut hair in a carpeted area? Not to mention the last time I looked at a bottle of any brand of product designed for chemical hair removal it clearly stated to immediately clean it off any household surface it came into contact with, and told you what to use to clean it off with. You ALWAYS apply this stuff standing in the tub. If you're not bright enough to read the entire bottle, to apply it only where you want hair removed, and don't have the common sense to clean up accidental spills, you need to invest in a high quality razor for everyone's safety.
