Today, I washed my face and grabbed a towel to dry it. I felt something moving down my forehead, thinking it was a drop of water. Upon looking in the mirror, I found it hadn't been a drop of water… unless the water drop had legs and was gooey. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, with water in my eyes, I stepped out of the shower and rubbed my face with a towel. When I looked in the mirror, I realized there had been a giant spider on the towel. Its guts and legs were smeared all over my face. FML
Today, I was washing my face and I started rinsing the soap off my face with my eyes closed when I felt something gooey on my face. I opened my eyes to realize I had been rubbing snot on my face from when water got up my nose and apparently snot came down with it. FML
Today, after I took a shower, I was wiping my face with the towel I share with my sister. It smelled peculiar, so I took my face away and looked at it. Turns out, I was wiping my face on a huge shit stain. FML
Today, I found the same spider which I had let live yesterday hidden in my bath towel. I didn't find it until it was smeared on my face. FML
Today, I was taking a shower when I noticed the huge spider above my head. Now, being the smart person I am, I sprayed the water up at it, causing it to fall. Right on my face. FML
Today, I was idly scratching gunk off the common computer while waiting for a meeting to start. It wasn't until the end that I realized it was dried snot. FML
Today, I was on the toilet and jumped when I saw a face at the window. It was my own reflection. FML
Today, I ate something really sticky so I had to wash my hands and mouth. I saw a tea towel on the bench so I was wiped myself with that. Then I noticed it smelt really bad. I had just cleaned my face with turps. FML
Today, as I was about to go in the bathroom, a girl walked out, shaking water off her hands. Some of it landed on my face, and I just wiped it off. Then she said to her friend who was waiting for her, "The sink's broken. Can I use your hand sanitizer?" So what landed on my face? FML
Today, I washed my hands and reached for the towel but felt something sticky. It was a house centipede. It exploded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I agree with those who said "at least you didn't eat it". That being said, I have a story that's even worse, so I wouldn't worry too much about that one if I were you. A few years ago, I was eating blueberry yogurt (brand new, right off the shelf the day before, just opened right then and there), and when I was getting to the bottom of the cup, I noticed a kind of odd shape, but I figured it was just a blueberry, so I put in on the tip of my tongue, and noticed it was hard, so I spat it back out on the spoon, and it very clearly had legs, an antenna, and a hard shell. I screamed my lungs out, brushed my teeth for like ten minutes, and gargled with a fair amount of Sterisol mouthwash for a good long time. Now I only ever eat vanilla yogurt . . . FML

maybe you had a special water drop. the kind that has legs and is gooey.

I'm assuming that said insect/arachnid was squished by the contact between the towel and forehead. Hence the... gooey, perhaps?

I hate bugs/spiders. The only way to defeat them is to eat them for their nutrition value.

Sooo i was just about to post an FML with almost the exact same occurrence... but the bug was on my washcloth, not the towel... and I used it to wash my face. And it lived.
