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

Today, while checking the men's bathroom at work, I noticed one of the air fresheners had fallen from the top of the paper towel holder into the garbage. It wasn't until I picked it up and examined it that I realized I was actually holding used urinal fresheners. 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, I really had to go to the bathroom. Due to my fear of public restrooms, I made sure it was clear before I started. I heard someone sigh halfway through. Embarrassed, I waited a full ten minutes before leaving the stall, only to see that it was only the automatic air freshener. FML

All OP heard before the attack was tsssssst and then OP ended up smelling like air freshener. I sure hope the mook that placed that device gets a cramp where cramps are not supposed to be, for sure stupidity!

They do say that airfreshener is in the eye of the beholder... Or is that something else?

Despite the awful burning sensation, you smell like fresh spring pines.

OP and his friends got together to thumb down every comment they didn't like.

I don't understand why you were staring at an automatic air freshener tbh

If you got hit in the face, I would imagine others have been too. So did you file a complaint? It shouldn't be at eye-level for that reason.

If the person is 4' tall or 7' tall, it would be at eye level for them as per the FML. Most people wouldn't be of those heights (except children and basketball players) and thus not be affected if this were to be the case. Knowing OP's height would probably help.

If the air freshener was on a counter near the toilet, it wouldn't be eye level to the person who put it there, and it would be in a perfectly logical location. However, if you were to sit down on the toilet and look toward the counter....
