Today, my husband decided to drain his motorcycle oil into an empty bottle of laundry detergent. Also today, I decided to lift a stain out of my white comforter with some detergent I found in the garage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my husband decided to be helpful and do all the laundry, including pre-treating all the stains. He felt that Clorox Clean-Up with Bleach would be the most effective. FML
Today, my husband finally decided to help with the laundry. He washed a pen and it exploded in the dryer. FML
Today, it was laundry day. After my fifth and final load, I noticed I never added any laundry detergent. FML
Today, as I was about to go to bed, the lid came off a brand new bottle of laundry detergent and it toppled down my carpeted basement steps. 3 hours, 2 dozen microfiber cloths, and a bucket of water later and my steps are still full of suds. I went to bed at 3 am and my 10 week old was up at 4 am. FML
Today, I came home to find my fiancé trying to do laundry. His version was "rubbing the smelly spots with baby powder". Looks like I'll be the only one doing laundry for the rest of our lives. FML
Today, I went to gather the laundry out of the dryer. My daughter had seen my wife put bleach in the washer, so she decided that honey in the dryer would make the clothes smell sweet. She wasn't wrong, but now I have a giant ball of sticky socks and underwear. FML
Today, I spilt purple washing detergent all over my white carpet. Desperate to get it up I grabbed a blue towel and started mopping it up. The detergent hasn't stained the carpet at all, the blue dye from the towel has. FML
Today, my wife complained that the coffee grounds I swept into the sink grossed her out. Yesterday, I removed several panty-liners from her soiled underwear before doing the laundry. FML
Today, I had to do my laundry. Being too lazy to separate them into different colors, or even check the pockets of my jeans, I threw everything I own into one load. Turns out I had left a tin of lip balm in one of my pockets. My whole wardrobe is now covered in spots that won't come out. FML
Today, I did laundry for the first time in weeks. Feeling productive, I dumped everything in, including what I thought was my pile of towels. Turns out, I washed (and shrunk) my roommate’s $200 wool sweater. She found out when I proudly showed her how “clean” everything looked. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure she didn't pour it into the washer. she was pretreating a stain so you would pour directly onto the fabric. also, what if it was one of those detergent bottles that have a push down spout? you don't need to open anything so there wouldn't be a smell. it's just a shitty situation all around

well, there's a couple ways to look at this, 1) she has a washer where the detergent is poured into a detergent hole, which she would either a) not notice the oil and run the machine, oiling the washer and getting rid of the squeaks. or b) noticed it was oil and not detergent. 2) she has a top load washer where she put the comforter in first then A) poured detergent straight onto the comforter and noticed B) poured detergent into a cup first then realized it was oil. or some other way... but to the ones above me, she did not deserve it for using detergent from the garage, i dont know what world you come from, but in mine, its perfectly normal to store extra supplies in the garage and is not frowned upon to use detergent stored in a garage, if any ones fault her husbands for not marking the bottle "OIL" or something to prevent any incidents like this.

Comforters are expensive. However, you can get covers for them.

wow there are some tards here. Number one lots of people have their washers in the garage and usually where you have a washer you keep your detergent. Most certainly when you pick up your detergent bottle you expect detergent to come flowing forth. Not ******* motor oil!!!! So obviously when she poured it directly on the comforter it was too late react to it being Motor oil instead of detergent. Voi ******* là there you have it folks. That's how she ended up with oil on her comforter. Fyl.

Good that's how it happened but it shouldn't have. 1. Detergent and other products of said nature would be located around the washer machine. Usually you're not walking across the garage to grab the detergent (it's usually with reaching distance of the washer machine). 2. When one works on a car (especially oil related) one tends to wear some of the work (i.e fingerprints on the outside, smudges of oil, etc). 3. Lastly, most washers say to add detergent first or water first/detergent next (i.e. when using chlorine bleach). So to do like most of us do (i.e. add the detergent last) are doing it wrong and that's the reason this happened. YDI
