Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, the plant on my windowsill fell and landed in my face while I was napping. It's a cactus. FML

Today, I was hiking down a steep hill, and I slipped. I instinctively grabbed the nearest object to me: a very prickly cactus. FML

It hurts when I pee
Today, I was outside, peeing on a cactus. Then all of a sudden my dog jumped on my back, knocking me into the cactus. FML

Shout the victory
Today, while climbing a mountain, I got to the top and then put both of my arms up in a victory kind of way only to trip on a rock and fall into a cactus plant. FML

Today, I rescued a cactus from a lethal fall. It thanked me with a handful of spines. FML

Today, while hiking and wearing sandals, I stubbed my toe. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been into a cactus with 3 inch thorns. FML

Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML

Falling down
Today, I learned how it feels like when you fall off a second floor balcony with mom's flower pot, landing on your back. My mom got pissed because of her beloved flowers, and gave me a lecture while I rolled on the ground in pain. FML

Thnks…
Today, it's my 66th birthday. My parents gave me a Stinging Cactus. It's already stuck me 5 times. FML

Whoever slapped you with it must've been a real prick.

It was his dad. Let's hope the spine falls far from the cactus.

Heh heh "prick" anyone ? No? Ok :(

#21 the whole point of this comment was the word prick, no need to point it out.
IloveToLaugh143 21
What did you do?
DocDrose 20
you could say it was a prickly situation!
bobbyguy 17
#53 no, just no.
BoltTheSuperdog 22
That's some pretty sharp thinking, #1!
Nickb55 16
Yeah #1 has a point!
zen1979 16
The real question is Did OP get the point?

Or maybe just a prickly character.
larrena2377 26
I hope you slapped them back!
MichellinMan 20
BAM! Right in the kisser!
SgtAssCheeks 21
Yeah no, I think OP'S got bigger issues to worry about than slapping back like, I don't know, dislodging all the needles, checking for puncture wounds, dealing with the pain of being stabbed in the face by hundreds of pointy ends, you know, stuff that happens when you get cactus slapped.

I love that you just made "cactus slapped" into a thing #26. And I'm sure you work the punctured look just fine, OP! Maybe you will start a trend.
SgtAssCheeks 21
A trend + Cactus slap.... Cactus Smack Cam?

Oh gosh that must have hurt, I've sat on a potted cactus before.
Mauskau 36
My brother did that when he was younger.

At least I'm not the only one who has.

I think we've all touched a cactus at some point in our kiddiehood!
Godsofdracos 15
Not all of us, some of us went oh look that kid just got stabbed by that plant, I better stay away!
guineagirl 18
I accidentally sat on a banana once
jkmartinjk 16
Accidentallyyyy..... surrreeee.

I like to think us kids who grabbed the cactus like to live on the edge

I fell in about 30 from my mom's porch. It was horrible.
ironmany_fml 23
oh, is that how you got those two holes on your cheek? :)

Your assaulter must've be a real PRICK.

A little late there, buddy. But you tried, so I'll give you something for that.

Yup. 2 minutes too slow..

Sounds like a once in a life time chance!!

It's not just you...I'm really curious too!
SAWS1992 6
im pretty curious as well. i wont say if i believe op deserves it until op tells us what they did... but thats just me..
BoltTheSuperdog 22
OP got mad at his brother, who then threw a cactus at him.
rawr_ily96 24
No, OP threw something at his brother, AGAIN to get his attention, and the brother happened to be in another bad mood, so he threw a desk cactus like last time. Gosh, OP, didn't you learn the first time?
Afroninja4566 21
Right now I'm wondering what led to this happening
Morqan_Freeman 14
Not trying to be insensitive, but I would like to know the reason behind what happened to you OP. You could have totally deserved it, or maybe you didn't. A follow up if possible would be great.
Welshite 40
No one deserves to be struck in the face with a cactus.
Morqan_Freeman 14
I could tell you many ways you could deserve more than just that.
dgameseeker 12
What if OP cheated on their spouse? (Hypothetically of course) I think said spouse would have a good reason to cactus slap OP. But if OP hadn't done anything then yea there wasn't any reason to do that. So it's just normal to be curious of the backstory :)
dgameseeker 12
Well you know in this case not cheating on a spouse since it says thanks dad but you get the gist of what I was saying right? Haha sorry error on my part :P
SAWS1992 6
#9 not true.... ive met some people i would happily throw a cactus at... jus sayin
ariiewilliams 17
Can we get a follow-up to figure out why this person slapped you with a potted cactus?
WeskersSexslave 15
you have a point there
