Today, I bought an automatic air refresher. I put the can and batteries in, and it promptly sprayed a blast of its scent down my throat. Now I can't breathe without tasting it. 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 maced. Not by a person, but rather by one of those automatic air fresheners in the bathroom. It was conveniently placed at eye level, you know, for freshness. FML

Today, I was at a friend's house. She has one of those automatic air fresheners, and I was amazed when it went off. To get a better look at it, I got real close to it. I saw a button and pressed it. The air freshener went off again, spraying nothing but my eye. FML

Today, I'm so chronically sleep-deprived that I sprayed a bathroom air freshener under my arms instead of my deodorant. FML

Today, my parents installed an air freshener above the toilet. While I was standing to pee, it sprayed me in the face. FML

Today, I was using a restroom when I heard someone sneeze. I said, "Bless you." It happened again about three times, so I repeated myself each time. I then noticed it was an automatic air freshener. FML

Today, I wanted to freshen up my room, so I bought some Febreze. Standing on my bed, I began to spray, not noticing that the air vent directly across was turned on. The spray came directly back at me. The doctor says that the irritation in my eyes may last for several days. FML

Today, as I was walking up to a urinal I heard a small hiss. I looked up just in time to get an eye full of chemicals from the automatic air freshener. I rinsed my eye out and went back to the urinal. It happened again. FML

Today, I saw one of those candies that you spray on your tongue. Only after spraying some in my mouth did I find it was actually perfume. FML

At least it didn't go in your eyes?

Take all the precautions you want, those things are dangerous and out to get you. FACT.

Because the power of literacy would've repelled the air-refresher's evil spray.

Every box has directions as do the refills. They all say face the freshener away from yourself when you activate it. Own fault

That's why they tell to aim it away from yourself, logic would also indicate doing so knowing that it's an automatic sprayer and it could automatically go off once the batteries are in... that or checking for an off switch and making sure it's off so it doesn't spray (but since they don't seem to come with on/off switches it would seem logical to just aim the thing away from your face).
