Today, in an attempt to save money on waxing, I bought Veet hair removal cream. I also discovered it has the same effect on carpets. Now I have to pay for a replacement. So much for saving money. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I was using Veet instead of shaving, so that the razor wouldn't cut up my legs. I cut myself with the plastic utensil that you're supposed to use to remove the Veet. FML
Today, I tried to wax my own Brazilian. My housemate’s cat rolled onto a half-used wax strip on the floor. The poor cat now has a small, less-fluffy patch, and I still haven’t figured out how to wax myself. FML
Today, after begging for over an hour, I had to pay my sister $20 to wax my back for me so my bra would stop painfully pulling at the hair I repulsively seem to be growing there. FML
Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to use my epilator on my eyebrows. Needless to say I now have the eyebrow equivalent of a comb-over. FML
Today, I had my back waxed to deal with the uncontrollable hair growth. Afterwards, I broke out in numerous pimples where the hair used to be. Basically, a lose-lose situation. FML
Today, while waiting the required 5 minutes for my hair removal cream to work, my cat rubbed all over my legs while I wasn't looking. After getting clawed to death throwing her in the bath to get the cream off, all her hair on that side fell off. I now have a half hairless cat. FML
Today, I used a men's hair removal cream to be smooth for my partner, as a surprise. It turns out that doing that made her think I was cheating on her. FML
Today, I bought an expensive razor that's supposed to be great. My roommate asked if she could borrow it, and as her legs just looked like they needed touching up, I said sure. After a strangely long amount of time, she came back, thanked me and left. Her legs were still hairy. FML
Today, I decided to wax my eyebrows. My entire eyebrow came off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

is anybody else kinda worried that people put something on their skin that can cause carpeting to disintegrate?

idiot. I'm pretty sure even monkeys know not to use that stuff over carpet. Just in case they don't, it says it on the bottle, which is something I would always read before applying a strong chemical to my skin.

Smooth away doesn't work at all, and shaving doesn't last as long. Stupid answer for a stupid question.

You can remove wax from carpeting with an iron and some paper towels. YDI

OP said she was using veet hair removal cream, which does not involve wax in any way. So Im not quite sure what point you're trying to make.

This is just stupid. Why would you use an item designed to chemically cut hair in a carpeted area? Not to mention the last time I looked at a bottle of any brand of product designed for chemical hair removal it clearly stated to immediately clean it off any household surface it came into contact with, and told you what to use to clean it off with. You ALWAYS apply this stuff standing in the tub. If you're not bright enough to read the entire bottle, to apply it only where you want hair removed, and don't have the common sense to clean up accidental spills, you need to invest in a high quality razor for everyone's safety.

Razors are cheaper.
