Today, I woke up with pink eye. My mom tried to help by putting drops in. It started burning like hell; she didn't understand why. It turns out she was putting ear drops in my eye. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I accidentally sprayed some perfume in my eye. After rinsing said burning eye with water for a few minutes, I half-blindly grabbed the eyedrops my sister left on the counter and used some. They were actually tea tree oil drops. Ouch. FML
Today, my day started with me peeing in my own face. My eye still burns. FML
Today, I woke up with pink eye. Trying to avoid going to the doctor, I searched through my cabinet for an old RX of antibiotic eyedrops. I found a tube of antibiotic ointment labeled “For optic use only.” Only after putting in my eye did I Google what it was: Dog eye ointment. FML
Today, I was eating a donut and watching TV with my cat. I saw a dark glob on my shirt and ate it, thinking it was dropped icing. It was my cat's earwax. Disgusted, I ran to the bathroom and tried to rinse with hydrogen peroxide. I sprayed it in my eye. FML
Today, I realized how exhausted I was when I mixed up my eye makeup remover with toner. My eye still burns. FML
Today, I was trying to apply some toothpaste on my pimple to help dry it out. My mum came from behind and hugged me, making me accidentally apply minty toothpaste into my right eye instead. FML
Today, at work, I got chilli powder in my eye. Now not only do I have a swollen, blistered eye, but I am covered in milk as my boss assured me that would help. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's to get a checkup. When the nurse stuck the Otoscope into my ear to look, she was disgusted. When she pulled it out, she told me that I had an ear infection, and that she'd popped a pimple in there by mistake. FML
Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

If this ever happens again, quickly put some eye drops in your ears.

Maybe u should have read the bottle first...

Ear drops and eye drops are the EXACT SAME MEDICATION numb nuts. In fact, a few years ago, they listed both on the same bottle. The only reason they separated them was to make ear drops slightly stronger and to make obscene amounts of profit selling two types of meds instead of one.

Haha classic! My dad put MEK in my eyedrops. Now I have a silicone eye.

Did your mom also fart on your pillowcase to give you pink eye too?

I had pink eye one time and my mom gave me the pink eye drops and it happened to have had mouth wash in it. I thought my eye melted.

Same thing happened to me OP. I had eye allergies as a kid and when I was in about the 5th grade my mom couldn't understand why I was screaming after she put them in. She had allergies too and later used them herself. She apologized haha

This has happened to me before. My mother told me to stop complaining when she did the eyedrops for me and that it was "normal" to have my eyes burning.
