Today, I left the iron and ironing board in my room. While I was at school, my mom decided to do some ironing, and did it in my room for convenience. The iron needed water, so she took a water bottle from my dresser and poured it in. It was my secret vodka stash, and the iron caught on fire. FML

Today, my mom was in the kitchen when her shirt caught on fire. Acting quickly, I poured my glass of water on her. Instead of thanking me, she yelled at me for making a mess. FML

Today, I put my ironing board away in the bathroom. After closing the door, I heard a loud noise. The board had opened up while falling over, taking up the width of the room. I can't open the door. FML

Today, while ironing some shirts, my cat decided to hop up and investigate. To prevent him from burning himself, I instinctively moved the iron away and placed it flat on my other hand. FML

Today, I tried to make breakfast. I had everything cooking on the stove when I reached to turn on the faucet, only to find out that the head of the faucet was up the sleeve of my robe. After drying off, I went to serve my boyfriend his plate, but when I returned, the stove had caught fire. FML

Today, I decided to be healthy and drink a tall glass of water whilst doing my assignment that is due in three days. I managed to spill the entire glass over my laptop. I flipped it over and used a hairdryer to dry it off. While doing that, I managed to melt my keyboard. FML

Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML

Today, my daughter somehow got a hold of the lighter we keep on top of the fridge. I found this out when she snuck up behind me and thought it would be fun to set my hair on fire. FML

Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML

Today, I was pouring boiling water into a cup, and I accidentally spilled it all over my hand. My mother responded by slapping me for getting water everywhere. My hand is scorched red, but thanks, I love you too, mother. FML

Today, I was sleeping in my apartment when I woke up to the smell of smoke. Alarmed, I ran out to the kitchen to find my roommates trying to put out a fire on the stove. As soon as they saw me, they ran for it, informing me that it was my problem now. They used my good frying pan. FML

Your vodka caught fire? really? Unless your vodka is 140 proof or higher (which I highly doubt you're drinking), it isn't catching fire. Secondly, and more importantly, where did the spark come from to ignite the vodka?

I can't imagine the vodka would burn in that situation.

I think your mom was nice to try to iron your clothes for you. And, come on, although I can see why hiding vodka in a water bottle can be "secret," it's obviously not-so-secret if you leave the water bottle out in the open. YDI.

Don't leave your vodka lying around like that. You'd get bagged in a second

32: "it's better if someone experiences drinking before college. if they have never experienced being wasted before college, they will screw up in college." wtf? Why would it screw them up in college if they haven't drunk in high school? Alcohol screws you up in LIFE if you become addicted to it. I don't see how NOT drinking has any bad effects. Yeah your body might get more used to it if you put it through constant trauma, but not every college kid drinks enough that they would need to have a significant alcohol tolerance before they even get to college.

Am I the only one who found it funny that the iron caught on fire? Hopefully your Mom didn't get hurt though. . . . But it's your fault. You should have hidden it better.
