Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I woke up to the sound of scissors. My mom was cutting my hair while I was asleep. FML
Today, I got a haircut. I wanted three inches cut off. When the lady finished, she had cut off everything but three inches of my hair. FML
Today, I thought I would treat myself to a shave and a haircut at a proper barber, instead of just a haircut at Supercuts. After many "Oops", "Sorry", even an "Oh dear", I left with no hair cut, and blood streaming from multiple slices in my face from the shave. I think one might need stitches. FML
Today, I came to the decision that I needed some variety in my life, so I decided to get a haircut. My mom insisted that she could do it and that she had experience because she cuts my dad's short hair. I had thick, long hair. Now, my hair is uneven, ugly and short. FML
Today, as a broke 19-year-old college student, I thought I could save money by cutting my own hair before a presentation. I did one side fine, got distracted and somehow made the other side two inches shorter. I spent the whole class angling my head like I had a neck injury. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. Forty-five painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML
Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML
Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML
Today, we were running late because my hair got tangled in the curtains. My mother-in-law got so angry, she hacked at it, leaving me with a bald patch, then went and sat in the car as though we were still going anywhere with her. FML
Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least it was cheaper than plastic surgery. No, but seriously, this is why you usually let professionals cut your hair:) Usually a better job, but more expensive. But at least you get the medical attention needed, so you will be fine. Fyl though But the hospital bill is probably a little expensive. I know nothing of the American health system

Thank you for the honest reply 18:) Sometimes I hate not explaining enough and be misunderstood so. And it's a nice way to excercice my English skills. So I mostly win on those comments.

Would have made a great mother's day story. That's why they don't let moms do much on Mother's day I guess.

As a budding cosmetologist, I'm going to have to go with ydi on this one. I know it seems like cutting hair should be super simple if you just need a trim, but there's more to it than just a pair of scissors and snipping away at the dead ends. We use expensive ass scissors for a reason (I'm talking like $400 for a cheaper professional grade sheer), we also have about two years of schooling for a reason, one of them being so we don't cut ears off. Even I was surprised when I saw what exactly my classes will entail, everyone expects beauty school to be an easy way out, but it's really not.

33, sorry to ask, but what happens after 2 years of schooling? Do you have your degree then? Or do you need additional years? And the fun thing is that barbers used to do some surgery as a part of their trade or something :) But here in Norway, you need 2 years of school, and 2 years at least of apprenticeship before you get your degree, unless you're talented ofc

In the states we require anywhere from 1000-2000 hours of cosmetology school and then we take a state board test and are licensed. And the thing about the 400 dollar shears is bullshit. You can actually find professional grade shears for anywhere between 150-250, depending on the style of shears you prefer to cut with.

That same thing happened to me when I was 8. I now have a flat spot on the top of my right ear...

If you want to save a few bucks than just learn on how to cut ur own hair. Well that's wat I do at least. N sorry about wat ur mom did. How could she even cut ur ear? Is she blind?

I used to complain about the rice bowl hair cuts my mom used to give me. Now I don't feel so bad about them anymore.
