Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML
Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. FML
Today, I bought a new electric razor. I tried it, and washed it. I started to shake it in order to get rid of the water. It was pretty slippery, and it exploded onto the floor of my bathroom. The warranty doesn't cover this, I guess. FML
Today, it turned out the razor I used for manscaping wasn't as new and sharp as I'd thought. My entire crotch is now overcome with an unfathomable amount of razor burn. FML
Today, my electric razor fell flat right after I had finished with my first cheek. And of course I don't have a manual one. FML
Today, I shaved my legs. It's been so long since I've shaved that my razor broke. FML
Today, I got an electric shaver hoping that it would reduce the risk of cutting myself than shaving with a manual one. However, I cut myself opening the plastic package with the shaver inside. FML
Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML
Today, I was shaving off my beard for the first time in a very long time. I decided to have a little fun with it, and shaved my beard first into a goatee, then a handle-bar, then, finally, into a Hitler mustache. My electric razor dies. I don't have a normal one or an extra battery. FML
Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

But keep in mind, condoms also need to be unwrapped first.

If she's young enough to be just now shaving, she's too young for sex. Most girls need to shave around middle school. Although it happens, girls this age shouldn't be worrying about sex or birth control.

Yes OP does not quite make the cut.

#19 girls don't need to shave if they don't want to. Especially girls in middle school.

I started shaving around 5th grade, but what I'm wondering is, on my razors it's so damn obvious that there's a lid covering the blades, how could OP not realize it was covered?

#29 they do if they dont want to be bullied. Friend of mine developed early and had to shave when she was 8 if she wanted to wear anything but pants.

If OP's mum handed her the razor directly, I can assume she would have either removed the lid for OP or at least explained that the razors are stored with covers. So if mom didn't, FYL. If she did and you just didn't realize it, YDI.

#13… she probably didn't realize she needed to since it's pretty damn obvious that there's a lid on there… ESPECIALLY once you start "using" it…

Umm, I think it should be common sense that the razor would be covered. Or at least to check first.
russfml 31
Oh she checked alright, for about 20minutes lmfao

I'm sure worse things have happened with a razor, but still, that's awkward... *prepares for thumbs down*

Please don't tell me you cut yourself somehow

Well if the kid was on then I assume not

Get an electric one OP, faster and easier all round...

YDI for not checking

Oh and by the way razors are sharp.

Does anybody else wonder how old OP is? She said that she was shaving for the first time but apparently she yelled obscenities when she dropped the razor and has grammar good enough to be featured here. Either she is a foul mouthed 10-year-old who shouldn't have a problem figuring out logistics of a razor or she is a 16-year-old outcast who can't show her dirty pillows and wonders why her shower water runs red...

Everyone starts shaving (or not) at different ages and there's nothing wrong with that. I started when I was about 13. And I'm not even sure what you were attempting to imply with the whole "16 year old outcast thing", are you trying to say that 16+ year olds who don't shave are dirty or...?

#38 I think that was a reference to the book/movie Carrie, rather than an actual judgement of the OP.
limabeans101029 21
Haha okay, my bad, I've never seen/read it. My point still stands though

+1 for the Carrie reference, #31.

The Venn diagram of "young enough to shave for the first time" and "old enough to shout obscenities" is two circles that don't even touch

....really?! How do you not see that?
