Today, I spontaneously got my ear pierced. By spontaneously, I mean my 12-year-old sister stabbed one of her earrings into my ear while I was sleeping. She claimed the freckle on my earlobe looks "exactly the same" as the hole from her ear piercing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little sister thought it'd be cool to pierce my nose while I was asleep. FML
Today, I got my eyebrow pierced. When I got home to show my family, my little sister said, "That's so fake!" and tore it off my face. FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I had a spur of the moment idea to go have my nose pierced. The piercer made sure to tell me how easily the little stud could get caught or hung up. I spent all day stressing over it only to scratch my nose and rip it out. Now I have a $40 bleeding hole in my nose. FML
Today, I got a new piercing because I was trying to be spontaneous. Now, I realize its placement is off and I hate it. FML
Today, I spent the first day of my senior year in the ER because my new ear piercing got so infected that the doctors had to cut the earring out. FML
Today, I caught my little sister taking a selfie in the mirror with a fake nose piercing, peace sign, and a duck face. She's 12. FML
Today, I found out that my stepsister loves sticking random household objects in her ear in an attempt to collect ear wax. I found out when I walked in on her trying to pick all the wax out of the bristles of my toothbrush. FML
Today, I got a nipple piercing. My girlfriend thought I was pranking her with a fake piercing, because I wouldn’t be "daft enough" to get a real one, and she yanked it off, or rather through, my nipple. Yes, it cut my poor nip in half, and I now have two nipples where once I had only one. FML
Today, my 8 year-old sister tried vaping. My parents found out and planned on yelling at her, but nothing happened. She even got a reward for being curious. When I was 15 and got my first piercing (in the ear) I kinda got beat, and slept outside for the night. It makes me wonder what's going on sometimes… FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

At least now you don't have to pay someone to do it now.

12 years old? You'd think she'd not pull a potentially harmful prank like that...

You'd think that she'd be less of a dumbass at 12

Yeah, you'd think. But if there's one thing I've learned from this site it's that people always find new and exciting ways to surprise you.

By any chance is your sister's name Rhoda? (Bad Seed reference, anyone?)

From the thumbs down, I'm going to assume nobody got the reference.

I'm shocked you didn't feel it halfway in.

Stab, not slowly push.

But the backs of earrings are generally blunt. I've never had a pair with a spiked post. If she thought she was just sliding it into an already-formed hole she shouldn't have been using the force necessary to get it all the way through OP's ear all in one go.

Usually when people get their ears pierced the earring that's used is sharper so it's easier for the piercing gun to get it in. Her sister might have been using one of those

hey she was doing you a favour!

My older sister pierced mine as a child with a sewing needle. I KNOW your pain! Just keep it clean OP and get the other ear done by a professional.

As long as your sister was careful otherwise!

Or take it out, and let it grow back.

Not everyone's ears heal from a piercing. My sister can go years without earrings and one day decide to wear them and they go in no problem but for me, my holes will close in days and I've gotta fight to get it to go in again. Everyone's different :-)

Now own that 90s one ear piercing like the boss you are!

Yes. The holes in our ears are really freckles. Of course.

Nothing spontaneous about that.. Ouch

Take it out and clean your ear. Who knows how many germs were on the earring. The last thing you want is a swollen infected earlobe. As long as you clean it properly it should be able to close up without causing any problems.

It might still swell up even if disinfected. OP could be allergic to the metal or just really unlucky (more so). I got my ears professionally pierced and one of them got so swollen the earring sunk into my earlobe. Had to be removed by a doctor. 3 years later it still acts up.
