Today, after my son's new friend spent the night, I commented on how his hair had such a straight line in it from one ear to the other. I joked about how he must have fallen asleep with headphones on, or had bad hat hair. He informed me it was a scar from brain surgery he had when he was younger. FML

Today, my 4-year-old son cut half of my hair when I was asleep because he thought I would look better that way. FML

Today, after discussing having our son's hair styled nicely for school, my ex returned him with his head shaved. I didn't realise bald was in style for 4-year-olds. FML

Today, my son told me he needed a haircut. I was thrilled that he actually requested it, since he normally throws a fit over getting them. He described the cut he wants. It's a mullet. FML

Today, my dad came up behind me with a pair of scissors, and pretended to snip away at my hair. I was sure he was joking, so I just sat there and didn't react. Later, I felt the back of my head and looked at my hand. Suffice it to say, I now have a large bald patch on the back of my head. FML

Today, I slipped and gashed my head bad enough that my head had to be shaved to be sewn up. Right after it had finished growing back from chemotherapy. FML

Today, I let a friend cut my hair. I soon went from having a 'fro to looking like I lost a fight with a lawn mower. FML

Today, when I went out to get some groceries with my mother, a small girl came up to me and said I was an "ugly egg" because I'm a bald girl. I had to shave my head in order to have brain surgery to relieve me of the symptoms of my neurological disorder. FML

Today, my friend thought it would be funny to put a pretzel on my forehead while I was sleeping on the beach. I now have a pretzel-shaped tan line in the middle of my head. FML

You didn't know. Just apologize once and that's all you can do.

He probably wasn't offended. I bet he has to explain that all the time anyway

It's best to get to know someone before you comment on their physical condition. I once saw a new co-worker walking with a limp and asked if she hurt her leg. Apparently she was born that way. Think before you speak. YDI.

Why the **** do these types of FMLs always have about a 5-to-1 (at least) ratio of YDI to FYL? Call me OCD or whatever but it pisses the hell out of me when the option I view as OBVIOUS isn't "winning". It's ******* bullshit to blame someone for something they said without having any goddamn way of knowing that they might *possibly* be about to strike a nerve they've never heard about.

If you speak without taking a second to think, and the OP obviously did, its ******* bullshit to not think you deserve what comes to you as a result of your speech

I'm a survivor of brain cancer and I have scars like that on my head. I don't mind when people say things about it. I'm sure the kid didn't mind all that much, I havn't met many people who do mind.
