Today, I was trying to put some new curtains up. I couldn't make sense of the instructions, so I decided to wing it. I spent a frustrating half hour fighting with it, and just seconds after I succeeded, the curtain rod gave way and slammed straight onto my head. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I attempted to assemble a piece of furniture that claimed to be "easy to build in minutes." Four hours and multiple arguments later, I realized I had misread the instructions, and half the parts were upside down. I'm pretty sure the furniture won this round. 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, I tried to put together some flat-pack furniture. I wound up in my underpants, screaming stuff like, "Fuck you, fucking Ikea bastard" at pieces of confusing plywood. FML
Today, as I tried to get out of bed, I got my foot tangled in my sheets. I reached out to my dresser to avoid falling flat on my face. I didn't fall, but I did manage to smash my fingers in the drawer while still trapped in the sheets. FML
Today, while I was sleeping, I managed to knock down the curtains by my bed. That would explain the gash on my head and blood on my bed. FML
Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, I was moving into my new house. While trying to turn on the light in the bedroom, I realized I couldn't reach the string on the fan. I got a chair, climbed up, reached over, and fell badly. While writhing in agony on the floor, I looked over to see a light switch on the wall. FML
Today, my ceiling fan was rocking violently so I turned it off. I stood under it trying to figure out what the problem is, it fell on my face. FML
Today, I felt suicidal and told my mum I was going to hang myself from my curtain rod. All she cared about was the rod possibly coming loose and damaging the wall. FML
Today, I lifted up my blinds, only for them to detach from the wall, hit me on the head, knock a pile of paper over, spill a can of Pepsi, leave plaster all over the floor and a gaping hole in the wall above my window. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Must be a man posting this. Instructions and hanging curtains are things men don't want to come face to fafe with.

How can you not understand the instruction?
reallytho3 11
Probably reading the Japanese instructions...
YoungMisfit 9
Because OP is use to working with a different rod. If you know what I mean.

Anyone can not understand instructions. Those Garden Ridge chairs are hard because the instructions are just pictures! And, if someone makes the instructions out of order or to complex for the average person, then yes, I would say that anyone could not understand instructions.

They were from Ikea...

This is gonna have 40 thumbs down... I'm calling it
PerfasarusRex 3
No, but I will be if I keep hearing stupid phrases like "you mad bro?, cool story bro, YOLO, and thats a shitty situation." please refrain.
hecallsmedarlin 7
STOP with the over used phrase! Following what you hear every other person say does not make you 'cool'. More so makes you sound like a ******* retard.
aleeshttylXD 9
wrong time to use that phrase.

Time-out. Just because she has huge glasses that cover her whole face, and it looks like she walked off the set of jersey shore, you say pretty?

Ha ha ha thats funny
MCRaddict15 15
Quite hilarious, isn't it, because that could totally NEVER happen to you, and because you understand all directions for every contraption you've bought. Right?
xStaciexLynnx 15
Curtains are not a contraption. They are CURTAINS.
