Today, I was straightening my hair when I heard this crunching, sizzling sound. Taking the flat iron away, I realized that I had just fused a spider to my hair with the heat. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, getting ready to go out, I turned on my straightener. After 5 minutes, I start straightening one big strand when I realize I'm smelting plastic into my hair. Turns out I'd left it on a plastic box. Of course, plastic never comes out, so I had to cut it out. FML
Today, I was reading a magazine while straightening my hair. I got really into this one article until suddenly a huge clump of hair fell on it. I looked up and realized I had burned through the layer of hair I was straightening, leaving me with one layer at ear length and the rest at bra length. FML
Today, I took out my old hairdryer and turned it on. I then gave my roommate a show as I ran out of the bathroom, naked and screaming, after a spider was blasted out of the hairdryer and directly at my face. FML
Today, while hiking, I walked face first into a spider web. Freaking out, I shook my hair out in case there was a spider. Later on in the day the spider fell from my hair into my food. FML
Today, I burned my tongue. With a flat iron. FML
Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML
Today, I successfully stopped my hair straightener from falling into a bathtub full of water by grabbing hold of the burning hot plates. FML
Today, my hair straightener broke. My husband suggested putting electrical tape on it because it was heat proof. I did and started straightening my hair. The supposed heat proof tape melted and got stuck in my hair. FML
Today, I was quietly having a bath when I felt something fall onto my shoulder blade. I glanced over my shoulder and saw what I thought were huge black spider legs. I screamed, completely hysterical, and I threw myself violently against a wall. It was my hair. FML
Today, it took a whole half hour of scratching my head before I realized with horror that the weird tickling sensation I'd been feeling was actually a spider crawling around in my hair. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That's gross that must mean you had a spider in your hair in the first place! Nasty YDI! It's called personal hygiene; read about it, learn it, live it.

To OP: Ewwwwww~ This is hilarious, but OMG EW. (And poor spider!) To everyone saying YDI: Dude, it's highly probably that (a) the spider jumped into the OP's hair/fell from the ceiling (they don't need to lower themselves on their web, sometimes they just fall), and (b) that the OP was looking elsewhere at the exact moment that the spider fell and therefore didn't see it. It doesn't mean the OP is unhygienic or stupid for not brushing their hair beforehand or not looking in the mirror, it just means that they had crap luck with spiders and straightening their hair this time around. Spiders can exist even in the cleanest of houses, especially if the OP lives in a dorm or something.

#83 Do you think people are on the constant look out for spiders? When I'm straightening my hair, the last thing I'm worried about is a spider coming out of nowhere and ending up on my head. I think, correct me if I'm wrong, that people usually concentrate on getting their hair straight. And no one said it was a black widow. Spiders can be small you know.

#83: Maybe she has a black hair straightener and the spider crawled up the (once again, black!) cord. it's easy not to notice- spiders move around a lot. i had a black widow living in my shoe for quite some time. i thought i'd shook it out because i didnt see it, then i came back to it a few days later to find it was still there.

Eeek! FYL? No... F the poor spidey's life. Does suck, though. I would've freaked the f* out. Arachnophobia like yeh wouldn't believe. To the point of being beyond irrationally irrational.
