Today, I was taking a shower, facing away from the faucet, when I dropped the soap. When I bent over to pick up the soap, my sister flushed a toilet in the next room, causing hot water to scorch my anus. I got made my shower's bitch, FML

Bad start to the day

By Concussed - 17/01/2010 06:22 - Australia

Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML

Today, my sister and I had a huge fight because I flushed the toilet while she was taking a bath. The faucet for the bath was not running, but she insisted that she felt the water in the tub turn "scalding hot." She won't listen when I try to explain to her that it doesn't work like that. FML

Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML

Headshot

By home owner - 20/08/2010 06:14 - United States

Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML

Today, my 2-year-old sister walked in on me while I was showering. She began to splash around in the toilet, and as I hastily jumped out to stop her, my brother and his friend got a good look as they walked past the room. FML

Today, I took my first shower in weeks after having had spinal surgery. My sister flushed a toilet. I couldn't reach the nozzle or my cane to get off the shower bench, and all I could do was sit there as scalding hot water sprayed all over me. FML

Panic! In the Bathroom

By MAWZ - 19/07/2011 06:33 - United States

Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML

Today, I was taking my shower, as usual. As I was putting soap on my behind, I heard a pop. I also felt a burning sensation near my butthole. I have a blood filled bubble in my arse, which got infiltrated with soap. I have a drums lesson in a bit. My butt is stinging. FML

Freakout

By Anonymous - 09/05/2014 22:03 - South Africa

Today, I woke up to a blood-curdling scream from the bathroom. I jumped out of bed in panic and rushed into the bathroom, only to see my sister limping around in the nude. She'd just jumped out of the shower because someone had flushed the toilet downstairs. FML

Today, I was in the shower getting ready for a date, when my older sister thought it would be a laugh to turn out the light. Getting out of the shower to turn it back on, I slipped and hit on my head on the counter. Thanks, sis. FML

Never drop the soap.

"I got you—diagonally!" "Pretty sneaky, sis." It's not often the dialog from a Connect Four commercial could fit an FML. This is a momentous occasion.

Ouch. I know how that feels. That happened to my... area... as well. Same ideal. Feel better, OP.

that sucks. maybe you can make a sign that tells everyone in the house someone is taking a shower so don't flush the toilet please

Nobody has time for that. I'm pretty sure anybody would know when somebody is in the shower anyway...

How does reasonable advice get voted down?

Because #29, it isn't very reasonable to say that no one can go to the bathroom just because you're in the shower.

When was this house built? Most showerheads don't do this, and haven't for years.

That brings an all new meaning to don't drop the soap

Now, instead of "don't drop the soap [because something bad will happen to your anus]", it means… the same thing.

Do you live in a house without sinks and bathtubs?

MidnaLink 33

Thursday 26 May 2016 16:25

It's that thing you might otherwise refer to as a Tap.

A faucet is the device that controls the flow of substances, often water, from the pipes or container. It is attached to sinks, bathtubs etc, and is also known as a tap.

I didn't realise that joke from Scrubs was a reference to something else. The things you learn online, eh?

Also referenced in Family Guy. And yes, I think this FML and that commercial are soul mates. It's almost as though the writers were anticipating a future of sibling on sibling anal scorching issues.
