Today, after nearly two weeks of being stressed out due to financial issues, I decided to spend my last 4 dollars on stress-relieving body wash. Apparently this particular body wash causes me to break out in hives and now I have no money for rash cream. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, after an extremely stressful day, I took a hot bath when I got home. I used my little sister's bubble bath to make it more enjoyable and relaxing. I then broke out in hives. I guess I'm allergic to bubble bath. FML
Today, I decided to take a relaxing shower. My face mask made my face break out in hives. While exfoliating, my nipples became chafed. Then I slipped and cut myself while shaving. FML
Today, I used a new fragrance-free hypoallergenic laundry detergent for my underwear, as I have sensitive skin. I got a rash. FML
Today, it turns out the beautiful, "organic" artisanal soap my boyfriend gave me actually came from the 99 cents store. He just wrapped it in some cellophane and gave it to me. I’m currently itching to death from the godawful rash and hives it gave me. I may need to go to the ER. FML
Today, my mom continued her search for a special, super-healthy laundry detergent that she knows makes me break out in hives. FML
Today, I found out that my recurring acne is actually bedbug bites. I have wasted about a hundred dollars on acne cream. FML
Today, I got a soap that my doctor recommended, because I'm allergic to the vast majority of soaps. After driving 45 miles to the only store that sells it, and paying $12 for a bottle, I found out I'm allergic to it too. FML
Today, I discovered that I won't be able to wear the dress with a low neck line that I bought for my cousin's wedding, because my older brother thought it would be funny to mix a scented body-wash that he knows makes my skin break out in hives, with my regular one. My chest looks like a pizza. FML
Today, I have a rash all over my face because yesterday my boyfriend broke up with me. Apparently, I am allergic to the something in the tissues with which I was blowing my nose and wiping away my tears. FML
Today, I'm so broke that when I got out of the shower, I had to slowly dry myself off with a ShamWow sample I received in the mail. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Best stress relief is exercise, and it's free! Good luck OP.

no way she deserves it for believing a bodywash could relieve stress

Stress is all in your head, if you actually believe that the body wash can relieve stress it will.

OP, what were you thinking? Your LAST 4 dollars? It couldn't be spent in a better way? Like food? You will get hungry, and body wash doesn't feed you! A good way to save money is to stop buying stuff like that! I realize it can work, but it's not worth your LAST 4 dollars! And I know, cut backs suck. But you've got to prioritize! I'm really sorry that you're down in your luck. Things can get better, but not if you pursue comfort over needs...

Here's to getting buried with you. Another example of sarcasm down the drain. They may catch on, someday.

Personally, I thought #4's comment was clever @#29, it's a play on words in that he's so broke, he couldn't afford to "pay" anything. In this case, he couldn't "pay" attention

Thank you #46 for explaining this to all the nitwits who never would have understood otherwise. Well done #4, I enjoyed it a lot.
