Close but no cigar
Today, while lighting a cigar, I set my beard on fire. FML

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, 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

This is lit
Today, I lit a cigarette in the opposite direction of the wind. My hair blew into it, and caught on fire. FML

Fireball
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

Testing, testing
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, 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

Hack it off
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

I'm awake
Today, my roommate thought it was a good idea to set my beard on fire to wake me up. FML

At least the aesthetic is nice.

You have a beard, a cigar and a fire. That sounds entirely glorious, and not an FML at all!

They might be great separated, but together they become disastrous.

i intensely dislike facial hair. i cant stand it. literally, it drives me insane. i dont have a clue how other people can have a beard or a mustache without going insane. my only guess is, they are already insane...

Maybe you should post an fml about that

No. Complaining about beards isn't a valid reason to make a post about. I have some intellect. Not much, just some.

Well on the bright side now you can grow a newer, mightier beard!

Sounds like you now need to groom your beard in such a way it looks like it never caught fire. If it's still long enough, maybe shampoo it to get the smell out. As for preventing it from happening again, you can either stop smoking or not light the cigar with it in your mouth.

As a man who has also done this a few months back, all I can say is trim your beard. Clean it up and treat your face fuzz like a bonzi tree. Little trims regular and soon you will have a mighty face foliage to rival any man. Always a shame when a beard suffers.
