Today, I found a box of birthday candles sitting on the coffee table. Bored, I lit one, and after a minute I threw it away and sat back down on the couch. I started looking at the box and noticed that it said "Magic Re-Lighting Candles" at the exact moment that my trash can burst into flames. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I decided to light a candle in my room. Since fire intrigues me, I put an old brochure into it. Paper burns fast, and now my carpet has a big, black burn mark. FML
Today, my apartment smelled like something was burning, so I checked the oven, toaster, outlets, and even the hallway. After an hour, I discovered the smell was coming from the candle I had forgotten I'd lit in the bathroom. I had spent an hour investigating a fire that wasn't happening. FML
Today, I was at my friend's house and accidentally blew out a candle that was supposed to be lit for seven days straight. It was in honor of her grandmother who had recently died. FML
Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML
Today, I was sitting next to my friend as he blew out the candles on his birthday cake. Some asshole got the bright idea to shove his face in the cake, but they missed and pushed me in instead. The candles were still lit. My hair caught fire. FML
Today, I was lighting fireworks for my cousin's birthday in my grandmother's yard. When it came time to light the "Grand Finale", I read on the outside of the box, "Face this side towards crowd for the best result". After I lit it, I realized that it was on its side. I shot 100 fireworks at my family. FML
Today, I was supposed to light candles at my aunt's wedding. I accidentally lit the groom on fire. FML
Today, I yelled at my boyfriend for smoking in the house, because I didn't want the house to smell like smoke. While doing so, I knocked over a candle and lit the couch on fire. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I was very happy. When the moment came to blow the candles, all of the decoration on the cake flew off. It had taken an hour to make and set them on the cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I don't understand why someone would invent a flammable object that can't be put out.

Haha. My parents parents put those candles on my 10th birthday cake. My dad was so pissed becuase we couldnt blow them out. You have to soak them in water for like 5 minutes to get them out. Pretty cool but so annoying!!!

No, after like 2 or 3 times blowing them out, they stop relighting

well fire is entertaining sometimes. and well, i dont see how he deserves it. i've never heard of re-lighting candles, i'd assume they were just normal candles. people that say YDI because he didnt check, honestly? if its a candle, people would think it's just a regular candle, not a relighting one. people are not sympathetic as if they dont do stupid shit. learn to not be so hypocritical.

#15 - Usually dunking them in water for a decent period of time works. I've always hated those relighting candles, lol ... they make me paranoid when going to throw them away or put them down somewhere -_-".

see this is why you listen to smokey the bear....make sure anything you set on fire is out before you decide to throw it in a trash can that's probably full of paper and/or other flammable objects. YDI

proof that it's bad to play with fire and that it's good to read the box before you play with what's inside
