Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of 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 forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, whilst tuning my guitar, one of the steel strings snapped and hit me in the face. Now I'm on my way to my first date with the girl of my dreams, and I'm wearing an eye patch and have a thick red line across my face. FML
Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, I went in my room to play my guitar. I found my Les Paul on the floor with all the strings missing. I later found out my grandma cut them off because I was playing "Devil's Music." FML
Today, a wasp knocked me out, broke my glasses, and left a gash over my eyebrow. It did so by flying under my glasses while I was playing my guitar, causing me to reflexively bat at it with the hand that was still grasping the guitar neck. FML
Today, I was in a music shop looking for a new guitar when someone called out someone else's name and jumped on my back. I lost balance and fell forward and broke 3 guitars and damaged another 6. The guy said "Sorry, thought you were someone else" and ran out. I now have to pay £2500. FML
Today, while playing on stage, the singer of my band swung his microphone around, straight into my face. I now have stitches above my right eye, and a job interview in three days. FML
Today, I finally had enough to buy my dream guitar, made in 1965. I buckled it into the passenger seat because it unfortunately didn't come with the original case. Once home, I tripped over my own feet before reaching my front door and scratched it on the concrete. It wasn't in mint condition when I bought it, but now it looks like it had a bad relic job. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

FAKE 1. the biggest string is the hardest to break, it wouldn't break for no reason 2. if it was screeching, you would look at the plug or the amp, not the neck 3. to look behind the neck, you have to lean back, thus putting your face FARTHER from the strings even if by some weird occurrence this is actually true, you still deserve it for playing bass and not guitar :D

I think there are numerous factors you aren't taking into consideration. Like a Ninja mouse on a sabotage mission clinging to the neck. Damn dangerous to stick to facts. Makes you blind to the truth. *Edit: Now I look like a raving lunatic talking to myself rather than a suggestive education lunatic. Thanks team. =]

my cousin in law snapped a guitar string which then cut his pointer finger to the bone. because of the tendon damage he can't really bend that finger. and this is why when I hear a creak when tuning I move my face out of the way and try to protect my hands.

I feel your pain OP. One time my E (lower) string on my guitar, gave me a pretty nasty cut too. But seriously, how much tension did you put on that string? I mean.. I thought it were virtually impossible to break a bass string, by tuning!
