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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

Top tip: If your mother gets out the hedge-trimmer after offering to cut your hair, politely decline. FYL

Something similar happened to my brother, though it wasn't as bad. Instead of he tip of his ear, it was closer to his earlobe. Now he has one attached and one detached earlobe.

Send the tip to a girl you have a crush on. That worked out great for Vincent Van Gogh. (Just don't tell her you mom did it.)

I was waiting for someone to make a Van Gogh reference on this one xD

I did something similar. I let my mom style my hair and she burned the tip of my ear. Lesson learned- don't be stingy and cheap.

Op you didn't have to go to the hospital, it doesn't hurt that much when the tip of ours ears are cut otherwise a lot less people would wear earrings, and Op don't worry the tip grows back and I would know cause that happened to me

For some reason I got the impression that the tip was the top of OPs ear... Huh. Now I feel so confused! D:
