Today, I got an electric shaver hoping that it would reduce the risk of cutting myself than shaving with a manual one. However, I cut myself opening the plastic package with the shaver inside. FML

Same thing different taste

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

Slippery when wet

Today, I bought a new electric razor. I tried it, and washed it. I started to shake it in order to get rid of the water. It was pretty slippery, and it exploded onto the floor of my bathroom. The warranty doesn't cover this, I guess. FML

Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML

First time

Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML

Today, I cut myself on a band-aid box, while trying to get one out for another cut. FML

Today, my electric razor fell flat right after I had finished with my first cheek. And of course I don't have a manual one. FML

Today, I cut myself deeply with an expensive razor that advertised it's impossible to cut yourself with. Twice. Guess I always was an overachiever. FML

Let it bleed

Today, while trying to put something into the almost full waste bin, I cut myself with a razor blade that my son had thrown in there. It was surprisingly sharp, and my finger started pissing blood. FML

Itchy and scratchy

Today, it turned out the razor I used for manscaping wasn't as new and sharp as I'd thought. My entire crotch is now overcome with an unfathomable amount of razor burn. FML

Yeah I guess that sucks but FML this is not. Trying to reduce cuts I bought a new shaver. After I opened it up I covered my face in shaving cream. Not knowing that thats a no no I burned the side of my face when the razor shorted out.

"Spokes person?" Extra space fail. For the FMLs to be original any more, we've pretty much run out of new things that are truly proof that your life is ******. On the other hand, we've ALL been ****** since they started using that new, adamantine packaging on EVERYTHING. It used to be that you could pop open the package, use the thing, then put the thing back into the package for storage. Now you need GLOVES AND SCISSORS to get at your new stuff! And as you're cutting the package, which it resists, you're making all these incredibly sharp edges that scrape at your hands, arms, and face. I totally sympathize with the OP on this one. Somebody needs to bitch-slap the packaging industry for coming up with shit that's so difficult and dangerous to open.

Lmao I love how ironic it is that you can buy scissors to open that shitty plastic packaging, yet the scissors are also in the same impossible to open packaging. Have fun slicing the shit out of yourself with that stuff ;D
