Today, I discovered that I'm allergic to band-aids. I now have a band-aid shaped rash around a tiny cut on my leg. Oh the irony. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I got a paper cut while opening my box of Band-Aids. FML
Today, I sliced my arm open on the weekend, patched it with a fabric bandaid. Had an allergic reaction to the bandaid, arm now swollen, blistering and keeping-me-awake itchy. Pharmacist's advice? "Oooh, that looks bad. Better put a bandaid on that." FML
Today, I cut myself on a band-aid box, while trying to get one out for another cut. FML
Today, I was riding a longboard down a hill and I fell off. I was all scraped up so I made sure to clean my wounds and put bandages on them. Turns out I'm allergic to the glue on the bandages and I have itchy hives all over and around my open wounds. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I walked too close to a first-aid kit sticking out of a wall at work, and it cut my arm. Laughing at the irony, I opened it to get a band aid out. It was empty. FML
Today, I found out that I am allergic to one of the preservatives that they put in aloe. I found this out after I put some on a severe sunburn I have. Not only am I sunburned, but now I am severely itchy as well. FML
Today, as I peeled a now soggy Band-Aid off my finger, I discovered that in the dim light of yesterday evening, I had, with great anxiety, wrapped it around the wrong finger. FML
Today, I got a bug bite on my boob. I scratched it so much it started bleeding so I put a bandaid on it. Turns out the band-aid had latex in it and I got an allergic reaction to it. The bug bite is still bleeding and the top half of my boob is swollen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A band-aid making your condition worse? That is a textbook example of situational irony. Quit being douchebags, especially when you're wrong.

ATTENTION TO EVERYONE WHO THINKS THIS ISN'T IRONY: This is actually the first REAL example of irony I've heard in a while. As 103 said, take some goddamn English classes. Irony is a situation that turns out the opposite of what you expected. You put on a band-aid thinking it will heal you, and instead he got a rash. THIS IS IRONIC. Now shut up.

Irony: the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention. You're wrong.

Yes, that's VERBAL IRONY. There's also DRAMATIC IRONY and SITUATIONAL IRONY. This is SITUATIONAL IRONY.

The use of "situational irony" (also called cosmic irony, and other things) simply describes unfortunate coincidences. Its use is commonly rejected—by people that went to school, that is.

122: I love how you're using the definition that Bender sings in the last episode of Futurama. But I have to disagree with you here. Sorry.

47 wins. It's ******* retarded to argue about irony and coincidence. Irony can be a matter of opinion anyway. Suck it. Put away your dictionary and laugh with the rest of us, you doucher.

Blue, you've been around FML long enough to have learned that allergies can develop at any point in one's life. This fact is mentioned in nearly all allergy-related FML comments. Do you really never read past the first thread?

I'm allergic too. I feel your pain.
