Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML
Today, my nose had been feeling weirdly uncomfortable all day. After I got home, I blew my nose really hard. I found that a bug had been resting inside my nose the entire time. FML
Today, there was something itching me in my bed, it was the tag to my pillow case. I ripped it off, very hard and slipped and punched myself right in the face. I broke my nose. 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, while resting in bed, I felt a slight tickle on my neck. Thinking it was a cockroach, I panicked and flung it across the bedroom. Turns out it was my brand new necklace, which is now broken into dozens of pieces. FML
Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML
Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, marks the seventh day of having my nose pierced. I'd done everything I was supposed to do, even sleeping with a band-aid over it. This morning, I woke up to my piercing being ripped out by my pillow, and the band-aid nowhere in sight. FML
Today, I saw a bug on a stranger's arm and as a knee-jerk reaction smacked it. It took me a second before I realized it was actually a loose scab. FML
Today, my 5 month old son decided that my lip ring was a toy. Thinking it would be ok, I let him touch it. He got his finger caught and pulled his hand back. The lip ring is still in, but now I have a huge gaping hole in my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, whenever I feel something on my face the first thing I do is slap it.

Just another reason I'll never get a facial piercing. That sounds like something I would do.
tony1891 22
hope you didn't rip it out. that would be quite painful

Just be glad it wasn't a creepy crawly on your face!

Yes getting bug guts all over her face would be less painful at least. More gross though....

Kill it! Kill it! Funny. Until you get used to it i hear it can be weird.

To me it sounds as if OP didn't know it was inserted. Like they pranked him and did it while he was sleep

Her* she* Yes, they shoved a metal bar through OP's nose while she was sleeping and she didn't wake up. You're right.

24, are you kidding? Or are you really this smart? When a nose stud/ring is being "inserted" into your nose for the first time, you KNOW. It hurts like a bitch.

30- Well, it is possible. Perhaps OP passed out drunk at a party and they pierced her nose? That happened to a friend of my mom's once.

Why would you even get a nose ring?
isis_morrigan 18
Because she wanted one! Just like any piercing, there is no point really, other than the person likes it.

He was feeling spontaneous. Don't question him, he obviously nose what he's doing.

What's wrong with nose rings...?
vanessaizawesome 8
Actually there really isn't anything wrong with nose piercings

48 - I don't personaly have any problem with them. I don't have one, but I would assume they cause a lot of pain when something like this happens, and I've seen more than one FML about nose-rings being ripped out.

31- nose rings are really nice if you have the face for it. People who judge people with tattoos and piercings need to have a seat. There's nothing wrong with it. 36-"concicuences"?! That. Is atrocious. Whoa. I hope a dictionary falls from the sky and onto your head.
vanessaizawesome 8
Sorry about that I meant *Consequences

I'm glad that dictionary helped you out.

At least it wasn't that palm sized hopping spider from the other FML.

You slap your face when you feel something weird? Even if it was a bug, flick it off or something, slapping myself would be more painfull or frightening than having the bug on my face.

I would have been worse if OP would have tried to grab it and yank it off.
BunchieRules 31
I agree; slapping my face would not be my first reaction, but flicking it off would probably be equally painful.

I did the same thing when I first got my eyebrow pierced OP, so don't feel bad!
xleanne_aLly 23
Hey, I'm getting my eyebrow pierced this summer. How bad does it hurt?
fabulosogurlee 7
Ooops. At first I thought you said that you got your elbow pierced... Then I stopped being stupid and saw that you said eyebrow like a normal person would. Silly me.

62- it feels the same as any other piercing, there's just a pinch as the needle goes through. Afterward, mine swelled a little and looked bruised but it only really hurt when I accidentally jammed my hand into it while trying to brush my hair out of my face :/
