Today, I was trying to remove a temporary tattoo my friend put on my cheek. When warm water and soap didn't work, I tried something else. Just so you know, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do not, in fact, work by magic. Tell that to the massive chemical burn covering half my face. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will erase the paint right off your wall. FML
Today, my friend convinced me that a staple gun doesn't work on skin. I decided to put this new piece of information to the test. FML
Today, and for the past few days, my skin has been all blotchy and messed up so I tried a new face mask that was supposed to peel off easily. It ended up sticking to my skin like glue. I spent hours in front of the mirror trying to peel it off, one painful sliver at a time. FML
Today, I found a DIY beauty hack online, so as I had nothing better to do and my skin is a mess, I gave it a try. I mixed lemon juice with sugar to exfoliate my face. Little did I know, I had a tiny cut on my cheek. The lemon juice made it feel like my face was on fire. FML
Today, I not only absent-mindedly tried to scrub the natural suntan from my arm, I also spent several long seconds wondering why it wouldn't come free. FML
Today, I tried a DIY face mask that involved using turmeric spice. After keeping it on for 20 minutes, I tried washing it off, but I couldn't get rid of the orange residue it had left behind. Guess who's going to work tomorrow looking like an Oompa Loompa. FML
Today, I thought I could make my own skincare products from scratch, but I ended up with a weird, greasy concoction, which left a red mark on my hands. It's been two hours and the mark is still there, despite several washes. FML
Today, I realized that the tingly feeling on my face when I put a new combination of acne wash, acne medication, and my usual moisturizer on was not, in fact, "it working." It was slowly peeling away the top layer of skin. I look and feel sunburned. I also still have acne and oily skin. FML
Today, I finally got an unsightly mole on my face removed. While I was shaving. FML
Today, I had to be treated for chemical burns, because my mother got the bright idea of using paint thinner to clean me up after I'd painted our living room. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Smart. Not the best idea, now is it? Magic erasers are not for bodies.

But it SAYS not to use it on skin. Try reading the instructions first.

FYI those are not "massive chemical burns". Either you made this up or it's an allergic reaction. I've used it on my skin with no different reaction than a normal sponge. In fact, the main way it works is micro-scrubbing. In fact, it's decently good for your skin. Maybe you shouldn't scrub your face after it hurts.

#184... Rubbing alcohol or Magic Eraser.... Rubbing alcohol it is!!! I'm pretty sure if anybody had the choice between those 2, they would go with rubbing alcohol. At least, I hoped so until this...

Dude, anything that leaves chemical burns would have to be in special packaging and be clearly labeled (like drain cleaner). Since its something you are expected to clean with or without gloves, its clearly safe. Either you are making it up, or you just had an allergic reaction. Either way you shoulda used rubbing alcohol.

Exactly, #207 has it right.

Gah! Next time you need to get something off your body like that, use something like Lava soap. It has pumice in it, and will rub that stuff right off. Plus its soap, so its meant to clean your skin!

hey #170, you are a dipshit, magic erasers don't have lye in them you moron, the only thing in them is melamine foam. how about you know what you're talking about before you try to say something stupid.
