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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while moving my wax burner away from the window, I spilled hot wax all over my hands, the wall, and in my electric fireplace. FML
Today, I was getting my chest waxed. The woman dipped the stick into the wax and hit her elbow, making wax fall into my eyes. FML
Today, I burned my nose. How? I tried sniffing a lit candle. 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, a hornet thought it would be fun to fly into a candle that I had lit. As the hornet burned to death, it flung its charred body at my face, which is more painful than it sounds. FML
Today, I was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML
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
Today, I was roasting marshmallows around a campfire when mine burst into flames. I instinctively shook the stick to get it to go out. The flaming marshmallow then catapulted straight into my eye, burning my whole eyelid. FML
Today, as a stressed NHS nurse, I tried to take a relaxing bath, except I dropped my book in the water, my candle set my hair on fire, I slipped getting out and may have broken my finger. The noise woke up my two kids, so I had to start their bedtime routine over again, and I got bath salt crystals in my eye. FML
Today, I was showing my grandson how to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. I got a little too close and set my hair on fire. The candles remained lit but my grandson was too terrified to go near them after the whole ordeal. FML

I believe this is true because my friend did something similar when she was drunk. I ended up picking wax of her face, hands and her hair. Was so funny!

If you blew really hard, wouldn't the wax fly the direction you blew? As in, away from your face? I don't get it. How were the candles arranged?

Maybe it wasn't completely flat surface. I don't know how to explain it but imagine the candle melts and there's a wall of wax behind it, so imagine the wax hits the wall and bounces back. idk just an idea... The closest I could find to what I was talking about http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1141/1183477929_3ec6872f47.jpg?v=0

What StaticDown said. Try blowing at water in a shot glass and it'll have a similar effect.

Try blowing at water in a shot glass and see what happens. It's similar with a candle because the middle part of the candle around the wick has melted more so it's lower, meaning the top of the candle is in a kind of bowl shape.

YDI I really can't see how you can make wax splash into the opposite direction than the one you're blowing and unless you weren't abnormally close the the light you wouldn't have been able to get it into your eyes

If she was directly above the candles and blowing straight down with a fairly strong blow, it may send up wax up from the candle she's blowing at, but not the others. I CALL FAKE TOO.
