Today, while reading in the bath, I accidentally switched the shower on. Not wanting my book to get soaked, I threw it out of the tub. When I got out of the tub later, I found it had landed squarely in the toilet. FML

Today, I took a relaxing bath, but got the book I was reading slightly wet when getting out. I put it on top of the towel dryer after delicately shaking it. Five minutes later, I heard a splash; I went into the bathroom to find that my book had toppled into the toilet bowl. FML
Today, thanks to my habit of peeing in the shower, I accidentally peed in the bath. FML
Today, I realized I'd put on my shirt on inside out, so I went to the bathroom stalls to fix it. As I was taking it off, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. 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
Today, I was changing my shirt in the bathroom when I dropped it. It fell on my foot, so I decided to flip it up with my foot instead of bending down to get it. I flipped it, and it landed in the toilet. Which somebody had not flushed. FML
Today, I was fiddling with a ring my aunt hand made me, accidentally slipping it off, and dropped it in the toilet. Like an idiot, I scrambled to get it out only for my bending over to activate the automatic flush. FML
Today, while in the shower, I heard my phone buzz. Expecting an important text, I leaned out to check it. I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and ended up stuck in the most awkward position possible with one leg in the shower and the other out. My roommate had to rescue me. FML
Today, I was checking my phone while using the toilet. In a distressing moment of my brain mixing up the signals to my hands, I dropped my phone into the bowl and pressed my thumb into the shitty paper to turn it off. FML
Today, after just having used the bathroom, my ring fell in the toilet. After stealthily removing it with a toothbrush, I went to go wash it in the sink. It then fell down the drain. FML
Today, as I stepped into the shower, I slipped and fell over the edge of the tub, pulling the shower curtain down with me. I called my roommate to help me up as I put on a towel over me. But before she could help me up, she grabbed her phone to take a picture. The picture became a mass text. FML

To be honest, I would rather first than this.

I decided to forgive 1 for not pulling the "shitty situation" card.

Instead of turning it off, is anyone else wondering how you "accidentally" turn a shower on?
misterjez 15
Well on mine you just press one button and it switches to the showerhead. It's easy to do.
shan88 14
I don't have a shower like that, and a lot of people I know don't have showers like that. There is usually two sets of taps
Kyoakuhan 22
Yeah I'm unclear on the 'accidently' turned the shower on. How does that work?
Fanain 2
#41 actually if you live in an apartment older then that's between 20-30 years old your taps will likely be a push in.

No matter how fast you turn it off, the water is going to come out and hit the book for at least a few seconds. What OP did was the best possible choice.
LemonandLime 13
Sorry folks, shan88 (comment 41) says that she doesn't know anyone whose taps work like the OP's. So what any of us have experienced is irrelevant.

Getting yourself used to ******** in the showers?

The **** are you on? :')

He read too many "mad" magazines.

At least it was just one book and not a kindle or anything!
RpiesSPIES 27
Although, if he were using a kindle, he could reintroduce himself to hard copies of books. They are far superior >:D
Migole 36
That would be an immediate YDI though... For reading a kindle while water can come near it. That's like placing your drink next to your mouse ...

52- Why would my mouse turn into a gremlin?
VampTat 10
He meant a computer mouse... It's not the mouse he would have to be worried about though, but the actual keyboard itself, or computer if you're using a laptop. I shouldn't judge though because I have beverages and food near my computer all the time too.
kenoswild 14
was it fifty shades of grey? if so, fyl indeed.
Pleonasm 35
Why FYL? If it was 50 Shades, it landed right where I would put it, anyway.
kenoswild 14
because if it was 50 shades, she probably was aroused until the book went in the toilet, killing any sexual arousals she had, so f her life.

I think we just have posted at the same time, it wasn't mentioned when I posted my comment. Eh, oh well.

Why do people read in the tub? Take a shower and go back to life.
Enslaved 36
Because, it's very relaxing after a hard day.(: I have one of those tub reading racks to hold my books in place and also a tub pillows. :P

Some people also have a hard time taking showers - I have lupus, which comes with wonderful arthritis that makes things like standing up for half an hour trying to wash my hair and shave my legs extremely painful and irritating. If I soak in a tub? Joint swelling goes down, and I can rinse my hair with the shower attachment. (I also have a reading rack - if I don't read during a bath I will probably fall asleep, and that is not the best of plans).

I've found cheap inflatable ones at the dollar store before, but you could probably find them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I think I got my last one at Target.

Nice throw.

Is it common practice in the US to have your toilet open at all times? I thought most toilets now-a-days came with a lid.
testestestes123 4
In the U.S. everyone must leave the toilet open at all times. It is considered very unlucky to close the lid. Also, for homes with animals the lids must remain in case of air conditioning outages so their pets are able to get a drink in the hot summer months. That is normal. What part of the planet are you from?
Schiffy 18
It's really just high-level laziness.
testestestes123 4
Yeah, God forbid someone looks in your bathroom and sees your toilet, and in it .....Water!! Bfd
EnterSandman_fml 20
No wonder I don't feel like I belong in the US... I always keep the lid closed. Well, except when the toilet is in use of course. That would be quite awkward.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
#40 you just got me thinking. Somewhere, at some time in the world, someone was probably so drunk, stoned, or tired that they "did their business" on the toilet with the lid closed. Can you imagine having to clean that? Let alone explain that someone else. Lol
rofflewaffle 9
Ours stays closed... In case something drops into it.
