Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I discovered that the "dish soap" my sister uses to clean our dishes when it's her turn, is actually a semi-toxic floor cleaner. FML
Today, my mom's obsession with cleanliness hit a new low when she bitched at me for having trash in my trash can. FML
Today, my very sheltered girlfriend decided to surprise me by cleaning our apartment. Although she grew up with housekeepers and maids, I thought it was common knowledge that you don’t try cleaning the bathroom with both bleach and ammonia. We still can’t go back inside our place. FML
Today, I had to be treated for chemical burns, because my mother got the bright idea of using paint thinner to clean me up after I'd painted our living room. FML
Today, my mum got the idea of switching to a different dishwashing detergent. The new one is so strong that it coats all the dishes in a nauseating perfume-like smell. It's so pungent that it gets absorbed into everything we eat or drink. She's determined to use up the entire bottle. FML
Today, I thought my mother was coming into my room to give me lunch. She gave me cleaning supplies instead. FML
Today, I washed the dishes for my mom while she was out, as they seemed to be piling up. I accidentally sliced my hand with a knife in the process. After a trip to the hospital, it was revealed she'd been leaving those dishes there "to teach dad a lesson." FML
Today, my girlfriend offered to wash the bathroom while I was at work. I came back home to find her feeling unwell with a bad headache. She had mixed drain cleaner with bleach because she thought it would make the bathroom cleaner. Now my entire house is a mini gas chamber. FML
Today, I was called gross by my mother for not cleaning my bathroom. I normally clean it every day, but today it looked clean, and I really needed a break. FML
Today, my obsessive-compulsive mother barred me from using the toilet she had just cleaned. She told me to wait until tomorrow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

most of you people are idiots. did you know that when an area is under a boil water advisory, the GOVERNMENT recommends washing dishes then letting them sanitize in a bleach and water bath. no rinsing after! no, you don't want to drink straight bleach in any substantial amount, but you're not going to die if some (or a similar chemical) gets on your dishes while washing, especially not if it's being rinsed anyway!

On a serious note she might have OCD. If so you should get her some help cause it usually gets worse.

Restaurants use bleach and hot water to wash all the eating utensils.

Aren't you supposed to seek medical attention if you ingest those chemicals? I'm pretty sure you'll be alright considering you aren't dead yet but I'm sure you now have the cleanest digestive track in Canada!
