Today, I decided I wanted to dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I made the decision to lighten my hair from dark brown to blonde. I thought the stylist knew what she was doing, but I ended up with my hair fried off and orange. FML
Today, I tried dying my hair blonde. I put my hair in a bun and waited for it to dye. I guess I did something wrong, because my hair is now 4 different shades of blonde/orange, along with patches of my natural black hair. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde using a DIY kit I found online. As I was washing out the dye, I realized my hair had turned bright orange. I had to wear a hat all day to avoid being seen in public with a Johnny Rotten fright-wig. FML
Today, I bleached my hair for the new school year. Instead of blonde, it came out orange, making my hair look like a bloated pumpkin. FML
Today, I decided to bleach my hair but then my mom got mad and put my hair in a bun after helping bleach it. Mind you, it is currently blonde orange and black and I don't think it worked, and my hair is fried. FML
Today, I went to get my hair highlighted at the salon. The salonist mixed up my blonde hair dye with some other girl's hot pink and violet dye. Now I look like a cheap hooker. FML
Today, I colored my hair. It was supposed to turn out blonde, but it became more a mix of red and brown and blonde patches. When I tried coloring everything back, a green tint was added. My hair is at the moment red, brown, blonde and green. FML
Today, after wasting $60 and 3 hours of my time getting my hair dyed to get rid of the ugly orange tint it had from the last time I got my hair dyed, it turned out to be the exact same color I started with. I go on vacation in 6 days and hate my hair. I'm not looking forward to taking pictures, that’s for sure. FML
Today, I tried doing a hair dye at home for the first time. I misread the instructions and left the dye on for twice the recommended time. Now my hair is the color of a traffic cone and brittle enough to break if I sneeze. FML
Today, in an effort to save money, I dyed my hair at home. I used the wrong shade, or brand, or maybe I shouldn’t have bought a cheap one, but now I look like a mutant traffic cone. My boss asked if I was “expressing myself” or “just having a midlife crisis.” I can’t afford to fix it, so I’m stuck like this for weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Go to a salon to have your hair fixed. No need to **** it up any worse than you already have.

Wow. You obviously know nothing about hair color or coloring your hair. No one switched the dye. It's your hair.

I don't think that a medium brown could vary so much for different hair colors that it turns BRIGHT orange.

It can if you have bleached or previously treated hair. Trust me. Been there, done that.

Putting brown dye on blonde hair results in a greenish or greyish colour not orange.. All hair has a red base except blonde. Brown dye doesn't tend to have a red base in it so if you have no red in your hair it can't go red without red dye..

You just said all hair has a red base except for blonde, then you went on to say brown hair doesn't have a red base. Make up your mind, dammit. -.-

Buy some brown mani panic or something for the meantime? It essentially coloured conditioner and it'll keep you tides over until you can actually dye your hair without frying it.

Brown manic panic? Lol that doesn't exist o.O there's black but that's the only color they have that isn't in your face bright. With that said though, I love manic panic. I've used soo many of their colors over the last year xD.

Uhhh, I dont dye hair, but isn't orange dye different than brown dye. Dont get me wrong, it sucks for you because it was some douche that switched your hair dye, but is it possible that this could have been avoided?

The colour of the dye itself doesn't often look like the final result.. BUT the bottle in the box almost always has the colour and/or the colour number on it which you can check against the label on the box. So yes, you are correct, this could have been avoided with a very quick look at the bottle..
