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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this everyone thinks I'm insane..but if I have a bug on my face I would rather have slapped myself and killed it than to be bite or something lol

At least your mom didn't cause you to rip it out by smacking you because she though you were picking your nose when you were just touching the nose ring. Anyone remember that FML?

Don't know that FML, buuuuuuut it reminds me of when I sometimes go to adjust mine in public and suddenly realize it looks like I'm picking my nose...... Seriously, one day there is going to be an FML on here about someone spotting a 30 yr old barista picking her nose in public..... lmao

I figure all the people who voted YDI have never had a facial piercing... I had to relearn to blow my nose after getting my nose ring, so as not to catch the tissue on the screw every time. And same thing as the OP, my nose would itch and I'd be half-asleep so wouldn't be awake enough to be aware it was my nose ring until the pain of accidentally tugging on it when I tried to itch my nose... grrr - it's okay, OP, you'll get used to it... well... mostly... still sometime have a startled moment when i wear coloured studs and they pop out slightly so i can see them so i'm like "what's on my face??!!" for a split second, lmao! I worried I would look at it so much I'd get cross-eyed like in the movie, The Jerk (hopefully there's someone old enough to know that movie besides me here.... lol)
