Today, at my retail job, I tried on one of our hats. My co-worker told me I shouldn't because I could get lice. I laughed it off and told her I didn't believe her. Man, do I believe her now. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, this guy I like let me wear his favorite baseball hat that he never takes off. I returned it to him later, only to find out I have lice. FML
Today, I had a snowball fight with a friend. In the midst of the game, I stole her hat and put it on my head, ignoring her pleas. Apparently, she was trying to say she had head lice. I can now verify that. FML
Today, I got head lice, so I went to a store to buy medicated shampoo. When checking out the cashier saw my shampoo and asked me to leave immediately to protect the other customers. He didn't let me buy the shampoo. FML
Today, my boss called me into his office. I thought I was getting promoted because my sales had been really high lately. My boss shut his door behind me and asked me if I could comb his hair with a lice comb to get rid of his lice. I had to do it to keep my job. FML
Today, I was tutoring kids at an elementary school. One kid messed up my hair. I said, "Why'd you do that??" He said, "I have lice, now you have lice too!" FML
Today, I work at a food joint as a chef, and a customer found a long strand of hair in her food. The manager blamed me, even though I'm bald. FML
Today, I needed to buy a new helmet. When I got to the sports shop, there was only one left in my size and preferred color. Thirty minutes after buying it, my head starts itching. Turns out I paid $40 for lice. FML
Today, a little girl asked me if I was wearing a toupee. It's my real hair. FML
Today, I was in a clothing store with my girlfriend. I saw the ugliest hat ever on a hat shelf, tried it on and said to my girlfriend, "Look at this ugly hat, it's absolutely horrible. It's even dirty." An old woman stood next to me said, "Well no wonder it's ugly, it's mine." FML
Today, I got a haircut, and after thanking the stylist I went up front to pay. The lady behind the counter took one look at me, smiled, and said, "Well, now you'll need a hat." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My daughter caught lice when she was 5 years old after sharing hats from those cap and gown ceremony when she graduated from kindergarten! What a nightmare!

Lice is a pain to get rid of. All the girls in my house got it and we still aren't sure from where. They're persistent little creatures.

If it's any help, I've recently had a bad lice infestation and I've found products based on silicone, that suffocate the lice, more effective and less harmful than the insecticide-based ones.

When I had them I just washed my hair as normal but combed out the conditioner with a lice comb. It's because the chemicals in the lice kits aggravate my eczema. Took 2 washes to remove all the lice and eggs but it sure got rid of them.

My whole family got lice about 20 years ago from trying on hats at Disneyland. None of us ever try hats on at stores now.

OP, i don't know if you'll see this. But if you actually do have it, you need to toss your pillows and any pillows you've slept on in the time you tried the hat on to the time you put the lice stuff in your hair to get them out. I had lice way back when i was in elementary school, and i had it three times because this girl also had it and her mom wasn't taking care of her. If you can't afford new pillows, try putting them in a garbage bag for like...six weeks or longer, to starve the lice and kill them off. Also do it with any other things you make have come in contact with that lice can get into.

This just isn't true. A lot of people tend to overreact when they have lice, wanting to practically burn down their whole house to get rid of them, overlooking the fact that lice can only survive a day or two anywhere other than on a human head. Just wash your pillowcovers and hats daily untill the lice are gone and you'll be fine.
