Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I chuckled at a "No Smoking" sign as I lit my cigarette. I bent my head down to light it and somehow managed to light my hair on fire. FML
Today, I lit a cigarette in the opposite direction of the wind. My hair blew into it, and caught on fire. FML
Today, I went into work to finish one last task, but decided to also have a fire in the pit. I grabbed the wrong can of fuel and ended up taking a fireball to the face, singed the hair on my head, arms, and I have to shave my beard off… Well, what’s left of it. FML
Today, I was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML
Today, at a candlelit dinner, I accidentally set my dad's leg on fire. FML
Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML
Today, I was supposed to light candles at my aunt's wedding. I accidentally lit the groom on fire. FML
Today, while playing with a lighter, I jokingly told my boyfriend I would burn his mustache off. He responded by telling me he would burn off mine. FML
Today, I managed to shave a single stripe out of the right side of my beard before the trimmer sparked and caught fire. I have a job interview in twenty minutes. FML
Today, my roommate thought it was a good idea to set my beard on fire to wake me up. FML

#4, stop being "that guy".

#1 needs to stop being that obnoxious guy who feels he has a right to tell others how to live.
mds9986 24
He actually does have the right to say what he pleases. Anyway, it's not wrong to tell somebody to stop smoking when there is zero benefit to themselves and others and tons of negative consequences. You need to stop being the obnoxious self righteous person who feels the need to tell other people what they can or can't say.

#17, you literally did just what you said not to do.
mds9986 24
So did 12, what's your point?

#24 why are you always arguing on fml...
mds9986 24
I just answer when people respond to me.
MegasaurusRex89 28
The point is you're just as hypocritical as him ✌
mds9986 24
Sometimes you have to be to make a point. Does that invalidate what I said?

This is FML. We are entitled to our opinions on the subject. I agree that OP should stop smoking for their health and the health of people around them. There are literally no benefits to smoking cigs. Only things that will deteriorate your health.

I would just like to point out that there is a benefit to smoking. It relieves stress, is actually great for social situation on a night out (at least in Ireland and it can taste nice depending what you smoke. If there was no benefit no one would smoke. I agree it does more damage than good however
mds9986 24
The only reason it relieves stress is because you are feeding the addiction you created. Your body is more prone to stress because of the craving of nicotine.

It relieves stress because you're feeding your addiction, it's not healthy at all

#53 I believe that's the way it ends up but not the way it starts. I remember when I first started smoking it made me feel light headed. The more you smoke the rarer this becomes but I still have the odd rush. Interesting enough it seems nicotine isn't the only thing as ecig doesn't fix my craving.

Because of all the other chemicals that are in cigs that cause imbalance in your body

#35 and your beard, apparently.

It was just a cigar. I don't smoke but I plan on having a cigar on my honeymoon as well as when I have my first boy.

Much like OP's beard, your joke went up in flames.

I'm sure that was a spectacular sight, but a horrible experience. Sorry, OP!

Those damn beards, always so flammable

that's the manliest way to get rid of a beard though. Lol.

The manliest way to get rid of a beard is : With a blowtorch while on a Harley in the toughest town you know while playing can I play with madness by iron maiden and then washing off the charred remnants with 40 year old single malt. That's the mans way.
JackDupp 11
#47 sounds legit. But where would one find a 40 year old single malt?

I live in the UK, we have loads just down the supermarket. Its like Canada we can drink at a younger age here than in the US so that normally means by the time we hit 22 we are bored of the beer and move on to other things with a bit more punch, that or we end up drinking wine wile eating cheese.
