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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

Time to invest in a soddering iron.

Even if cutting around that evil plastic packaging from hell with scissors, I can't imagine why you would be close enough to the wires to cut them accidentally. Wires and important things are usually tucked away safely away from any edge bits, often wrapped by the instruction leaflet in their own little bubble. You must have been doing it wrong.

Look on the bright side. At least it wasn't your finger it cut through.

Yeah I knew some idiot would say dogs are better. Dogs would eat the earbuds. They also eat their own shit and bark all day. Definitely not better.

Sure dogs eat and chew just about anything the can get, but my cat will chew on my headphones themselves. I don't see how one species is better than the other. Yes, my dogs bark a lot and are loud. But my cats hiss, meow, growl and whine at things (yes things, as in inanimate objects like my toilet or table for example) for no reason and are equally as loud.

You can solder the wire back on. There are videos on how to flux aux wires, watch one.

Same thing happened to me, except nothing startled or distracted me. I'm just that stupid. FYL

I once accidentally cut through the headphones when trying to open the packaging that was impossible to open and also did not clearly show where the headphones were. The shop refused to refund me.
