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

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, I finally found the jewelry my two-year-old son had lost when it got lodged in my foot. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
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
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, my nose ring became a fish hook. What did I catch? My dog's harness. She nearly ripped it out of my face. FML
Today, my 2 year-old had a large booger blocking his nose so I pulled it out. I was on the phone and absentmindedly rolling it around between my thumb and pointer finger. I put it in my mouth and crushed it between my teeth for a solid minute before I remembered what it was. FML
Today, while undergoing the cumbersome task of screwing the tiny silver ball onto my lip piercing, I clumsily dropped it onto the counter and watched it bounce into the trash can, where it nestled snugly into a used maxi pad. FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I swallowed the piercing that I had bought for my tongue yesterday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

All of the people saying liprings are trashy and stuff, really? Grow up. Body modification has been around for thousands of years, just because you don't have the balls to get one doesn't make them trashy or people with them any lower than you. Yes the mother is an idiot for having in a ring with a 5 month old, she should have been smart and put in a stud.

Please, spare us the multiculturalism. This sort of self-mutilation only has a long (or respected) tradition among the most primitive tribes in the world. Even tattoos traditionally only belong to criminals, sailors, or members of the underclass. Go ahead and mutilate your body as you see fit, but do not be surprised at how people react to neoprimitivism. Honestly, why anyone would permanently deface his body in a way that prevents upward mobility is beyond me.

Depends on your definition of "primitive."

I do sympathise with you there Pinky. I also have a 9 month old, my daughter mostly makes a beeline for my eyebrow bar or my nose stud, it's painful lol, Not much I can do with the eyebrow though as it's a bar, as for the nose I switched to a tiny stud and it's fairly effective in avoiding my daughters grabbing little fingers, My advice to you would be to either remove your lip ring while around your son or switch to a small labret stud, I have a small lip stud and have worn it for a fair few years now and so far my daughter hasn't pulled on it once. Alot of the commenters here are ignorant little whatsits, Judging someone who they don't even know based solely on some body jewelry, Having piercings doesn't make someone a bad person or a bad parent, being an ignorant know nothing does.

It doesn't make you a bad person, but wearing one while holding a 5 month old makes you a stupid person.
