Today, I wore a new shirt, but forgot to remove the price tag. It was kind of windy outside, so when I got outside, the tag hit me on the neck, I thought it was a giant insect attacking my neck. I started screaming like a little girl. I'm a 30 year-old guy. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I confidently walked into a meeting thinking I looked sharp in my new shirt. Halfway through, someone pointed out that the tag was still hanging out the back, flapping like a flag. It wasn’t even a size tag, it literally said "₦5,500" in bold. FML
Today, I wore a sleeveless shirt for the first time in years, when I glimpsed something on my shoulder that looked like a spider. I let out a scream that sounded like a donkey having a stroke, and flailed my arms. Then I realized it was my tattoo, and that I was freaking out everyone on the bus. FML
Today, I bought a new shirt for a job interview and put it on just before leaving. On the train, I noticed the shop's security tag was still attached. I had to spend the entire interview trying to keep my jacket closed, wondering how I'd missed the chunk on plastic stapled to my shirt when I put it on. FML
Today, I was holding on to a shirt that I planned on buying, when an elderly man bumped into me. The shirt fell out of my hand, and slid just out the door. I went to the counter to explain what happened. Everyone accused me of trying to steal it anyway. FML
Today, while walking to class enjoying the warmer weather, a bee flew down my shirt. I'm allergic to bees so I freaked out and started ripping my clothes off. By the time I was done, I was half naked and there was no bee in sight. Turns out, it was the string on my jacket hood. FML
Today, I woke up and saw a piece of black fuzz on my shirt. I tried to pick it off but it crawled into my hand and stabbed my skin with its sharp legs. I screamed like a little girl because I had a centipede on me. FML
Today, I was running late for work and quickly grabbed my outfit from the dryer. I heard the crackling of static as I took out my shirt. I didn't think anything of it, until later when my co-worker pointed out I had a thong stuck to my back. FML
Today, I went to the store to buy some new shirts. I tried them on and none of them fit. When I walked out to return the shirts, everybody was staring at me. I looked down to see why. I'd forgotten to put my original shirt back on. FML
Today, I was giving a lecture when I noticed everyone smiling at me. I thought my jokes were finally landing until a coworker pointed out that the price tag from my brand-new shirt was hanging out of the back of my collar the entire time. FML
Today, while resting in bed, I felt a slight tickle on my neck. Thinking it was a cockroach, I panicked and flung it across the bedroom. Turns out it was my brand new necklace, which is now broken into dozens of pieces. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd do the exact same thing, but then again I'm a 14 year old girl.

I went through a similar situation, only it was quite the opposite. I felt something ticklish on my neck, and brushed it thinking they were my hair. A while later I felt the same deeper into my shirt. It turned out to be a spider. I turned the building upside down with my screams.

One time I scratched my head and felt a small ball in my hair. I took it out and held it thinking it was a pebble. Then it starting to open up into legs and wiggle. Terrifying.

Once I was on the toilet and could hear some noise coming from the beam above, I just thought it was my cat as she loves climbing them, I looked up and turns out it was a snake. I lost 10 years off my life that day.

One time there was a snake outside my house and my cat beat the shit out of it while I ran around my front yard screaming.

That's understandable. Being a Canadian, I can only imagine the massive creepy crawlies in Jordan.

I tend to do it when a rogue hair falls onto the back of my neck.

Sometimes I find spiky balls and put them in people's shirt collars. I'm sure your screams sounded similar.

Oh please. You would've done the same exact thing.

I wouldn't have. They are just insects or in this case a price tag.

Now #22, if I turned around and saw you, I'd scream like a little girl

Price tags can be scary but it's usually the price that gets me not the tag attaging me.

I wouldn't blame you, they feel like tiny cacti.
