Today, while trying to open the packaging to my new headphones, I got startled by my cat suddenly meowing, and cut through the headphone wire. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was teasing my cat with a piece of string when suddenly my phone rang. I answered it with one hand and put the string down with the other onto my lap. The beast seized the opportunity to spring, claws out, onto my privates. FML
Today, I woke up in the middle of the night and felt deep breathing on my neck. I screamed, fell off the bed and busted my nose. It was just my cat. FML
Today, I went to my grandmother's house to pick up her cat to take him to the vet. She forgot who I was and sprayed me in the face with pepper spray. FML
Today, I came to the conclusion that I was right about thinking how much it would hurt to hit your head on a door-frame, stub your toe on a stone table leg, and then trip over your cat, who won't take it well and will probably claw your recently stubbed toe. FML
Today, I was on the toilet when my cat came in and jumped up on the sink. Apparently my lap looked like a comfier seat, so she jumped onto it. She misjudged the distance, but luckily caught herself by sliding to a stop, with her claws in my bare thighs. FML
Today, I had to wait in a hospital room because I cut myself with a knife while trying to open a box of soda. After three stitches, I went home only to notice the box has an easy-open tab. FML
Today, I cleaned my apartment from top to bottom. Once I was done, I looked over at my puppy, who then woke up, stretched, got out of his basket and started to pee. I shouted, "No!" Scared, he then ran all over the place, still peeing. FML
Today, I was watching a movie on TV. One of the characters has the same name as my dog, and when his name was called, my dog got so excited that he jumped face-first into my TV. FML
Today, I pulled one of my favorite hoodies out of my closet, and immediately noticed several large stains on it. Apparently, my dad had managed to open a hole in the roof and couldn't be bothered to patch it, so a squirrel got in and used my closet as a litter box. FML
Today, I accidentally punched myself in the face while trying to take my bra off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My cat, Raven, is in heat at the moment. Her meows are both startling and disturbing.

You can be startled by pretty much anything if you're concentrating hard enough and aren't paying attention to anything else around you. I've managed to startle myself while doing something so it's possible even if you do feel like a complete idiot.

I'm startled extremely easily. If it's really quiet and I'm closing a door, even if I know the volume at which the door will shut and exactly when it will shut I'll still get startled when it shuts.

Someday I'll figure out the algorithm for what puns are allowed

Trying to picture the situation...I don't see how a cats meow can startle you enough to jerk the knife that bad. But maybe it's just an obnoxious evil cat that likes to prank you like that.

Maybe op doesn't have a cat. I know I'd be startled if I heard a cat meow in my flat...

How can a cat startle you to the point of breaking your headphone's wire?

cats are jerks. hope the headphones weren't too expensive, that would suck.

Just solder the wires back

that could fuse the wires that are supposed to be separate for a reason: so they work. sorry about your headphones being ruined tho op.

This is why dogs are better than cats.
Zelphoric 25
Yeah, because dogs definitely aren't louder than cats, and the sounds they make aren't more startling than the sounds cats make. T_T

would you rather have a dog barking as you are trying to sleep, or a cat meowing while you are trying to sleep...

Was this after your girlfriend dumped you because you bought the cat for her?

Why are ao so close to your new headphones with the blade to begin with? Even the ridiculous safety plastic, one you cut in you can just tear it.
