Today, as I was walking up to a urinal I heard a small hiss. I looked up just in time to get an eye full of chemicals from the automatic air freshener. I rinsed my eye out and went back to the urinal. It happened again. FML

Today, I was using a restroom when I heard someone sneeze. I said, "Bless you." It happened again about three times, so I repeated myself each time. I then noticed it was an automatic air freshener. FML
Today, my parents installed an air freshener above the toilet. While I was standing to pee, it sprayed me in the face. FML
Today, I was at a friend's house. She has one of those automatic air fresheners, and I was amazed when it went off. To get a better look at it, I got real close to it. I saw a button and pressed it. The air freshener went off again, spraying nothing but my eye. FML
Today, I was maced. Not by a person, but rather by one of those automatic air fresheners in the bathroom. It was conveniently placed at eye level, you know, for freshness. FML
Today, I was pissing in a urinal and I had the urge to sneeze. Unable to hold it, I sneezed and hit my head on a metal beam supporting the urinal. In complete disarray, I had to step back from the urinal while pissing and managed to spray the floor, the wall, and the person next to me. FML
Today, I really had to go to the bathroom. Due to my fear of public restrooms, I made sure it was clear before I started. I heard someone sigh halfway through. Embarrassed, I waited a full ten minutes before leaving the stall, only to see that it was only the automatic air freshener. FML
Today, while checking the men's bathroom at work, I noticed one of the air fresheners had fallen from the top of the paper towel holder into the garbage. It wasn't until I picked it up and examined it that I realized I was actually holding used urinal fresheners. FML
Today, I wanted to freshen up my room, so I bought some Febreze. Standing on my bed, I began to spray, not noticing that the air vent directly across was turned on. The spray came directly back at me. The doctor says that the irritation in my eyes may last for several days. FML
Today, I was trying to change the batteries of my automatic room freshener. As I held it to my face to figure out where the batteries went, it started spraying on my face. FML
Today, my coworker friend told me she was going to the restroom. Soon after, I did the same. Once in the stall, I could smell a stench emanating from the next one. I yelled, "Ew, you stinky bitch" and sprayed air freshener under the partition. As I left the stall, my friend walked into the restroom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's not that bad. Where I live if I heard a hiss I'd be dead.

I'm saying both on grounds of the old saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

My family call them 'woofa woofas'. We don't get the hissing kind in Australia? Probably because when we hear hissing we gotta react real quick

It's not really a hissing sound, it's like a "tss" when they squirt the air freshener stuff

I would contact the management. Those should not be mounted that low. That could burn someone's eyes and maybe blind them.

Where I work, I just remove batteries from those evil contraptions. They get replaced eventually, but I remove them again.

Bonus: free batteries.

That wasn't an air freshener, that was an automated Urinal Club trainer. First rule of Urinal Club: Look straight down and nowhere else. Second rule of Urinal Club: Don't talk about Urinal Club.

Fool me one time, shame on you. Fool me twice, can't put the blame on you

I hate those motion activated air fresheners. Usually they are just startling me though, not spraying me.
