Today, I found out that my wife gave me head lice on purpose so I would have to cut off the ponytail that I've been growing since '99. FML

Today, I thought about going to visit an old girlfriend of mine with hopes of getting a little head. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be head lice I'd get. FML

Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML

Hair issues

By Blake - 26/08/2022 00:00

Today, my wife is angry with me because after she'd convinced me to grow out my hair, it exposed my receding hairline. I shaved my head to the same appearance as when she married me, so I could feel more comfortable with my own body. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted to take a break. At least she gave me a parting gift. Lice. FML

Today, after finally spending the night with my longtime crush, it's as if I can still feel her fingers caressing my hair. But wait, no, that's just the head lice she gave me. FML

Natty dread

By why???? - 05/09/2022 08:00

Today, I’ve been growing dreads for two years after I lost my hair to chemo. After visiting my boyfriend’s family, we all contracted lice from the kids. Even though I did the shampoo and treatment, my locks are too coiled to effectively comb out all the nits. I have to shave my head again. FML

Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML

A ponytail? You're not a woman. You shouldn't have one. If you do, however, don't forget the matching white Chevrolet Astro van with the tinted windows and a bed in the back.

I bet a good lawyer could turn that into an assault charge. You should totally ditch that bitch and press charges.

I can't believe how many people said YDI. It's your body. Maybe you don't care what people think or about what's in style. Your wife should respect that. If she doesn't, she should be the one who leaves, not your ponytail.

well... FYL if she never said anything, just secretly plotted, and you never knew anything was wrong with it. YDI if she previously asked you to cut your hair. it's just hair, you should have cut it if your wife really had a problem with it.

#260 ... he SHOULD have cut it beCAUSE it's "just hair"? If it's "just hair," why did it bother her so much? Your hairstyle SHOULD be yet another form of self-expression for a person, like fashion, like whatever. That means the OWNER of the hair should have the final say on its presentation. I don't even know why that's even a question! Why there's even a discussion here! This is an FYL, hands down.
