Today, my boyfriend told my roommate about a trick he had used by filling nail holes with toothpaste when he moved out. When I came home with putty to fill the holes, there were blue spots all over the walls. She had filled them with blue gel toothpaste. Now I get to repaint, too. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I came home to find that my girlfriend had repainted my bedroom. As she had offered to do it, it shouldn't have been a problem. However, she decided to return the several unopened cans of off-white paint that I'd bought for something "more neutral." Like "Sunset Orange." FML
Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
Today, I got home to the smell of permanent marker and the discovery that my roommate's little sister had drawn flower petals around every polka dot she could reach on my walls. I just put up the wallpaper last weekend. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought my favorite doughnuts for our anniversary. After settling down and pouring a glass of wine, I grabbed a doughnut and quickly realized the filling inside wasn't jelly. He thought it would be funny to replace it with toothpaste. FML
Today, I put a blue toilet cleaner square in the back of toilet. My fiancé called me later on freaking out because he couldn't get the "blue water to go away" when he flushed. FML
Today, I was moving out of my old place. While walking around to make sure I would get my damage deposit back, I stepped on my roommate's lipstick and smeared it all over the white carpet. Then I tripped on the phone cord and ripped the whole thing out of the wall. FML
Today, my boyfriend dumped me by writing a breakup note with permanent marker on my newly painted bedroom wall. FML
Today, I had guests over for a Christmas party. One of them wore new blue jeans and managed to get large dye stains on three different walls. They won't come off. Guess who has to paint his living room again. FML
Today, my boyfriend and roommate got into a fist fight over a magic trick. They ended up putting a huge hole in the wall that's going to be expensive to fix. We're renting my boss's house. FML
Today, I was quite happily glossing my new bathroom door, when my useless, alcoholic, housemate came rolling in, knocked the paint over, stood in it, and without realising, walked it all the way down the stairs. I had just had a brand new carpet fitted. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I don't know...maybe I'm just slow, but wouldn't you have had to repaint after using putty, anyway?

How the hell does she deserve it? She didn't try to get it cheap, she even went to buy some putty, not her fault her boyfriend is a cheapo and her roommate's brain turned off for some reason. @OP: FYL, but I must admit I laughed. A lot.

I'm confused. How does blue gel toothpaste work differently from regular toothpaste?

it doesnt. but the walls were white. so the blue toothpaste made little blue spots everywhere

plain white toothpaste would blend in and blue gel wouldnt harden well enough

I agree.. what a retard!!! I'm surprised the roommate didn't realise after filling in the first hole with blue toothpaste that she was doing something wrong

If its dried and the OP dug it out, then she would have to re-plaster AND repaint the walls There's no easy way out of this.

yeah shortcuts.. almost always involve more work.. that's pretty gross bc toothpaste is sweet and sticky and would think it would attract bugs after a while...

chances are if its a nail hole then they didnt completly fill it with toothpaste so id just poke the nail back in there to get the blue out then do the putty or whatever
