Today, I was at my aunt and uncle's house. I went to the bathroom and after I washed my hands, I took a Q-tip out of the carton to clean my ears. When I reached for a second one, I noticed that every Q-tip in the carton was actually already used. FML

Today, as I was doing my make-up, I needed a Q-tip to fix a mistake. I took one out the box and put it in my mouth to get it wet. Too bad someone had used it before to clean their ears. FML
Today, I went into my parents room to empty their wastebasket. Next to it and around their bed, I found tissues that were soaked in an unknown sticky substance. I had to pick them up. FML
Today, I learned that my aunt, who lives with us, is using our chopsticks in her hair and putting them back in the utensil drawer without washing them. I'm the one that uses chopsticks the most. FML
Today, someone at work put their used, bloodied tampon applicator back in its wrapper, and into the free tampon bin for some sucker to grab. That sucker was me. FML
Today, I was changing my tampon in a public toilet. When I threw away the used one and opened a new one, it turned out that it had no thread on it! I took another one out. Again, defective! It was the last one I had with me, and it was the second day of my period. FML
Today, while checking the men's bathroom at work, I noticed one of the air fresheners had fallen from the top of the paper towel holder into the garbage. It wasn't until I picked it up and examined it that I realized I was actually holding used urinal fresheners. FML
Today, I've got two family members over to stay. So far, I have found a dirty Q-Tip, a nasty toe nail and had to clean up period blood from toilets, bin, and the floor. FML
Today, I was drying myself with a towel after a shower when I noticed a bad smell. After running out of toilet paper last night, one of my friends decided to use my clean towel to wipe herself instead. FML
Today, I bought a pack of toothpicks. There were 500 of them. When I got home I accidentally dropped the pack. After twenty long minutes of picking them up, I dropped them again. FML
Today, I was in the bathroom at the mall and the toilet paper had ran out. I had to use the socks I'd just bought. FML

Most boxes/tubs of Q-tips have a single warning on them: Do not insert into you ear. Any disgusting problems like this can be avoided by taking heed of that sound advice.

Q-tip? Had to use wikipedia. In future, please put cotton swab in brackets or something for the people living outside of USA. Secondly, using a cotton swab to clean your ears is unsafe.

It didn't take you long to look up what a Q-tip was, did it? Don't act so entitled.

I've lived in Fiji, New Zealand, the UK and Australia, and I haven't met anyone who hasn't known what a Q-tip is (though 'cotton bud' is more common in some areas).

Also, unsafe? How stupid do you have to be? To quote Chandler, "Stop when there's resistance!"

That is a gross way to save money. I hope they don't reuse floss as well

The green gunk on the end might be a good indicator that it's used. Just saying.

Are you color-blind or just sick? Any ear wax I've seen is a yellowish orange.
