Today, in the bathroom during the ACTs, my hair got stuck in the electric hand dryer. I had to rip my hair out. For future reference, hair + hand dryer = dreadlocks. FML

Today, I tried to use a fancy new hairstyling tool and ended up getting my hair tangled in it. I had to cut a chunk of my hair off to free myself. FML

Today, while taking a shower, my back hair caused so much friction against the bar of soap, it stuck for a good second before coming free. FML

Today, I got a round brush stuck in my hair so badly that I couldn't get it out for 45 minutes, and had a panic attack. I had to drive through town with a brush dangling from my head, to the hair salon, and listen to them laugh while they got it out. FML

Today, I was in a public restroom and slipped on some soap on the floor while I was washing my hands. As I fell, I grabbed the nearest thing to break my fall, which happened to be the hand dryer. It fell off the wall and hit me in the face. FML

Today, I was shaving my underarms, when I heard a noise. I quickly turned my head to see what it was and got the razor caught in my hair. I'm now sporting a very attractive bald patch. FML

Today, I took out my old hairdryer and turned it on. I then gave my roommate a show as I ran out of the bathroom, naked and screaming, after a spider was blasted out of the hairdryer and directly at my face. FML

Today, while at my parent's house I decided to take a shower. I had to use my sister's bathroom and once out, grabbed a comb from her cupboard to brush my hair. I then noticed the clumps of hair on my shoulders. It's a razor comb on one side, regular on the other. I used the wrong side. FML

Hair care

Today, after spending a week detangling my hair (It took a week because my hands have nerve issues) because it felt like my scalp was glued to my scalp from not being taken care of, I cut it all off. My hair got tangled in the device twice and eventually revealed a burn on my scalp. FML

How did you manage that? Don't those dryers "push" air towards you?

....How the hell does this happen? I'm not clicking YDI or FYL, because honestly, I am utterly perplexed.

I've actually had that happen to me in my car. I have pretty long hair, so when I leaned back, my hair got caught in the heater on the side so when I pulled it out, it was really burnt. So I understand what the must have been like especially on the day of your ACTs! That really sucks. FYL. Hope your ACTs went well though :)

@34 25 doesn't meen community college (most state schools with that score... you don't know how old that person is maybe they aren't even a junior or anything, I got a 29, which doesn't sound that great until you consider my age when I got it. (8th grade 14yo) so how about you think a lil. AND it's outa 36 @ 59 you shouldn't really make fun of others scores... okay :) @ people marveling at how you get your hair stuck in somthing that blows OUT just remember it has to suck IN to be able to have air to blow out @ OP I'm sorry Hope you did well though! You also have a funny story to tell now.

I think that people who keep saying "how do you get your hair sucked up with something that blows air out" should read a few of the comments because the answer to their question is posted plenty of times, oh and shes not a moron for getting her hair stuck, she may have gotten a lil bit of her hair wet and wanted to dry it real quick, or she could have dropped something and it could have gotten sucked in when she bent down to pick it up

At all the people saying "how did your hair get caught in something that blows air" Has anyone seen that really crappy movie with Lindsay Lohan "Just My Luck"? At one point when she's drying her hair, it gets caught in the blowdryer, (not in the part blowing air, the part above the handle) because some things like that have something that sucks air in, too, as well as the thing that pushes the air out. The hand dryer could have had the same thing, though I've never seen that. I still fail to see why the OP's HAIR was so close to the HAND dryer. if not, then how the hell did you get your hair caught in a hand dryer? I say YDI.
