Today, while I was applying some eyeliner, my cat jumped onto the counter and managed to headbutt me. The wand scratched a good portion of my eyeball, and now for the next few weeks, I will have to deal with the pain of a corneal abrasion. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was attempting to tame my bushy eyebrows, since I'm starting a new job in a few days and need to look somewhat presentable, when I poked myself in the eye. Hard. I thought I’d blinded myself for a few moments. Now it’s just red, sore and watery. FML
Today, I applied mascara directly onto my eyeball. FML
Today, while getting ready for a friend's wedding, I was curling my eyelashes. My cat decided to jump onto the towel rod. As I went to catch her, I ripped all the eyelashes out of one eye. I called my boyfriend crying. When he saw me, he laughed and said, "You look really surprised in that eye." FML
Today, my cat sneezed directly into my open eyeball. FML
Today, I was tinting my own eyelashes when I missed my eyelashes and stabbed myself in the eye with the applicator loaded with dye. Now, I have beautiful lush black eyelashes, to match my half-closed swollen red left eye. Sexy. FML
Today, my ill-tempered cat tried to slap me in the face. She ended up sticking one of her claws as far up my nostril as it would go, and got stuck. Not only did I kinda get to experience what it feels like to be stabbed, I also got a horrible nosebleed. FML
Today, I was eating a donut and watching TV with my cat. I saw a dark glob on my shirt and ate it, thinking it was dropped icing. It was my cat's earwax. Disgusted, I ran to the bathroom and tried to rinse with hydrogen peroxide. I sprayed it in my eye. FML
Today, I was cleaning mouse remains from the kitchen floor, left by my cat. I found a small round thing nearby. With no idea what it was, I picked it up and gave it a little squeeze to see if it was solid. It wasn't, and burst with great force onto my face. I'm pretty sure it was an eye. FML
Today, I was laying in bed, scrolling through my phone, when my cat swatted my phone out of my hand. It hit me in the face and popped a pimple, which is now bleeding. FML
Today, I accidentally stepped on my cat's paw and she let out a deafening screech of pain. After treating her like a queen for the rest of the day as an apology, I accidentally kicked her in the dark, sending her flying up against the wall. I feel as though I should sleep with one eye open tonight. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's happened to many - so what exactly is your point?? Get over yourself!!!!! It will heal!!!!!

Her cat head-butted(?) her and now she has a painful eye injury, and corneal abrasion can cause significant pain and discomfort. That's the point if the flipping FML and 'getting over it' is not that easy.

I had a corneal abrasion but not from being savagely mauled by the common domestic feline. The best thing to do is wash your eye out with water and wear sunglasses to keeps light out of your eyes. It should heal in a day or two.(:

Yet another reason dogs are better than cats.

No, dogs get over excited and knock you down accidentally. Like when you're standing on stairs, for example, and you fall head first into the cement floor. It's happened to me and it's why I don't have dogs. Cats can't do that, can they?

127- if you're just lingering on a flight of stairs with a cement floor at the bottom and you know you have a huge, hyper, untrained dog running around and you get knocked down, you definitely deserve it. Dogs are able to be properly trained and they come in various sizes. If you get the right dog for you, you dont have to worry about being pushed down the stairs. Duh.
