Today, I accidentally sprayed some perfume in my eye. After rinsing said burning eye with water for a few minutes, I half-blindly grabbed the eyedrops my sister left on the counter and used some. They were actually tea tree oil drops. Ouch. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. FML
Today, while I was doing my hair and makeup, I somehow managed to spray myself in the right eye with hairspray, and in the left eye with makeup setting spray. I left the house with two very bloodshot eyes. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in a rush before work. I squeezed the toothpaste tube too hard, and some of it it shot directly into my eye. I spent the next ten minutes half-blind, crying peppermint tears, and still somehow managed to be late. FML
Today, I realized how exhausted I was when I mixed up my eye makeup remover with toner. My eye still burns. FML
Today, I woke up with pink eye. My mom tried to help by putting drops in. It started burning like hell; she didn't understand why. It turns out she was putting ear drops in my eye. FML
Today, I put aftershave on my fingers to encourage myself to stop biting my nails. I absentmindedly rubbed my eye a few minutes later. It burnt like hell. FML
Today, I noticed a strange mark on the inside of my mouthwash bottle. As I was bending down to investigate, my hands tightened around the bottle and mouthwash squirted in my eye. It still burns. FML
Today, while squishing a stink bug, it sprayed directly in my eye. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth, I applied the toothpaste to my toothbrush when a few bristles got caught on the lip of the tube and flung a glob of toothpaste into my eye. My eye is now bloodshot, but at least it's minty fresh. FML
Today, I was attempting to tame my bushy eyebrows, since I'm starting a new job in a few days and need to look somewhat presentable, when I poked myself in the eye. Hard. I thought I’d blinded myself for a few moments. Now it’s just red, sore and watery. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Blindly grabbing things without two working eyes is never a good idea.

I can't stand the phrase "Nuff said" any longer. It looks stupid, as your grammar.

That's why you check before you put anything in your eyes...

OP had just gotten perfume in their eyes. You think it's going to be easy to see after that?. OP even said they were doing it "half blindly".

That's a cute snake Isoldael. Just putting that out there.

@32 - it says eye, not eyes. Meaning OP still had one good eye to check the drops.

That sounds beyond scary. What would happen to OP's eye if it was crazy glue? Hmmm

Advice: Never leave crazy glue next to the lube. NEVER.

For all you negative commenters, OP already couldn't see as it was and made a blind mistake. These people are haters that apparently never had anything happen to them ever OP, don't feel so bad. Ish happens, now keep that eye under some running water now for the next 6 hours

This is one of the reasons I wanted to invest in one of those eye-sink things for my house. For emergencies, and because it's a double water fountain.

I've done the exact same thing. TTO hurts beyond perfume. Hope your eye feels better!
