Today, I got a free temporary tattoo of a scorpion in a packet of potato chips and decided to wear it on my wrist. Whilst I was in the shower, I got a shock, thinking it was a spider. I then lost balance and slipped, banging my head on the faucet. FML

The only explanation I can find is that she used too much LSD which caused the scorpion to become a real spider.
What exactly do your temporary tattoo and you slippin in the shower have in common?

I thought it was pretty clear, as #5 suggested a spider looks like a scorpion (somewhat) and she got alarmed because she's not used to seeing it. She got scared and jumped, causing her to fall. Duh.
When #4 posted their comment, they couldn't possibly have read #5...

She mistook the scorpion tattoo for a spider on her wrist. At least that's how I understood it.

I don't say that because I really feel that way. I say it because I like watching people fight.

Have at you, then. (raises fisticuffs in old-Irish posture)

That is undoubtedly the worst tattoo ever worn by anyone ever.

i don't understand this ydi for how badly written this fml is!

Be wary of that great, big dark thing that sometimes creeps along your walls and floors as well! It's stalking you!

Some of us have to get drunk to fall and hurt ourselves. It's nice to know that others are high on life.
Fake tattoo? How old are you? 12? Even if it WAS a spider, you freaked out enough to fall? Failure on two counts.
You are aware that she lives in Australia.That's a place where you wake up and have to battle eleven of the world most dangerous spiders just to use the washroom.Not to mention other such beasts...

Not really.... ive only ever seen a deadly spider once, and it was on a campsite and i go camping at least once a month :P
and in general, depending on where you live there arent many spiders... like in the cities youd only see a small number a year
but i see where youre coming from :)

You ought to shower with "afraid of shadow" girl so one of you idiots can cushion the fall of the other. You could also invent the genre of comically slapstick clumsy lesbo porn.
Wow people. It's really not that hard to understand.... She's just really dumb is all.

Why would you put on a temp tattoo right before your shower?
#23 - On 10/29/2009 at 12:20pm by containsnosoy
Anyone else this that this is an 'only a woman could manage it' FML?
#24 - On 10/29/2009 at 12:57pm by Expertfail
Anyone else "this" that this is the most inept attempt at a comment ever? I don't know what drugs you're on or what injury you sustained to your head, but it negates whatever small amount of truth could possibly be in your sexist comment.

I don't get why some people don't get it, are they stupid?
OP, sounds painful :( FYL
#25 - On 10/29/2009 at 12:59pm by drummer_dude
I think half of the commenters here are even more stupid than the OP.
Honestly, it is not that hard to understand. I'm surprised some of you can even manage ro turn on a computer...
This has happened to me before... not in the shower, but I jumped and swatted at my arm because I forgot I had a temp tattoo on me...
you should mail that to mailthefail@gmail.com so it will be posted on epicfail.com XD and nice, epic fail
I thought it was a tattoo of a scorpion in a bag of potato chips, and I thought that was a rather peculiar tattoo.
Then I realized she got the tattoo in a bag of potato chips, of a scorpion.
Am...am I missing something? In what way does the fake scorpion tattoo affiliated with slipping in the shower? I read & re-read this FML but I still cannot make sense of it. Can someone please explain this to me? Other wise, the OP totally deserved it for writing an unnecessarily confusing FML.
#35 - On 10/29/2009 at 3:17pm by BlueberryPies
OP saw the tatoo in the shower, was scared, pobably jumped or something, slipped and hit their head.
#36 - On 10/29/2009 at 3:27pm by pritchard27
Oh. Okay. Well now it makes some sense. Thanks for the explanation!
But to all assholes giving shit to those who perhaps weren't so quick on the uptake: loosen up & back off. The FML was written in a confusing way, which is the fault of the writer, not the readers.
#40 - On 10/29/2009 at 4:34pm by BlueberryPies
Is it really that hard to understand this FML? She thought the tattoo was a spider, freaked out, and slipped. Read carefully.
#38 - On 10/29/2009 at 4:04pm by Chopperman
you guys are stupid if you cant understand this, it makes perfect sense
#39 - On 10/29/2009 at 4:19pm by kissintherain44
Holy fucking shit, you're almost as brilliant as the moron who's scared of their own shadow in the shower.
I agree with whoever above said you two should be shower buddies......
OK PEOPLE, HERE'S THE BREAKDOWN. THE OP:
1) finds a temporary scorpion tattoo inside a bag of chips
2) applies said tattoo to her wrist
3) forgets about tattoo
4) gets in the shower
5) glimpses the tattoo and assumes it's a spider
6) is shocked AS IN STARTLED, not shocked with electricity
7) jumps, screams, freaks out etc., till she slips, falls and hits her head.
#44 - On 10/29/2009 at 5:36pm by TheIrishJaneDoe
The fact this needed an explanation means it sucked and was poorly written therefore she deserved it.
And I was sitting here trying to picture what a tattoo of a scorpion in a bag of potato chips would look like...
1 your an idiot 2 why the hell do people use whilst like wtf? really do people really need to say that to act smart?
#50 - On 10/29/2009 at 7:03pm by martinezcory
FYL for
1. mistaking a probably obviously fake scorpion, for a real spider
2. for writing it like a douche bag
#54 - On 10/29/2009 at 9:20pm by conartist66
this made my day. probably because it's definitely something i would do:)
#64 - On 10/30/2009 at 1:38am by urbanlover
LOOOLLLL!!! Yaaayy australians ftw (:
Bahaha i love how all the extremely stoopid things come from aus (:
National prideee. :D
#65 - On 10/30/2009 at 1:40am by aussieoioioi
LIES AND SLANDER! if you were Australian you'd call it a tap not a faucet >.>
#68 - On 10/30/2009 at 8:43am by Niv
#68
Mate, just because they dont write tap, doesnt mean theyre not australian
I know heaps of peeps that use 'faucet' instead of 'tap'. Faucet may be an american word BUT languages are becoming mingled through the internet like this. Its sort of the same as people in australia dialing 911 for an ambulance instead of 000.
#70 - On 10/30/2009 at 6:48pm by aussieoioioi
bullshit nobody says faucet in australia, probably lying or from america or they are just a faggot, and people who type 911 instead of 000 thts just stupid
#71
People do say faucet
And people that dial 911 are not necessarily stupid. We watch so much american tv and movies that people get the facts mixed up.
I personally know someone whos never been to america, is of asian ancestry, lives in australia and has a full american accent from being brought up watching american tv and movies. And i can tell you now, she definately is not a faggot or stupid. Shes probably twice as smart as you are and a lot less ignorant.
#74 - On 10/31/2009 at 3:35am by aussieoioioi
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH MAN!! u must be the brightest one in the fixture.
#77 - On 11/01/2009 at 2:06pm by rachelbrianna25
uhhhhh, wtf is this? randomness......
also, a faucet is part of a sink not a shower... in any part of the world
If it's a shower that doubles as a tub, the spout where water comes out above the drain and below the shower head is called the FAUCET. Problem solved.
