Today, I wanted to freshen up my room, so I bought some Febreze. Standing on my bed, I began to spray, not noticing that the air vent directly across was turned on. The spray came directly back at me. The doctor says that the irritation in my eyes may last for several days. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at a friend's house. She has one of those automatic air fresheners, and I was amazed when it went off. To get a better look at it, I got real close to it. I saw a button and pressed it. The air freshener went off again, spraying nothing but my eye. FML
Today, my parents installed an air freshener above the toilet. While I was standing to pee, it sprayed me in the face. FML
Today, as I was walking up to a urinal I heard a small hiss. I looked up just in time to get an eye full of chemicals from the automatic air freshener. I rinsed my eye out and went back to the urinal. It happened again. FML
Today, I was trying to change the batteries of my automatic room freshener. As I held it to my face to figure out where the batteries went, it started spraying on my face. FML
Today, I cleaned my entire house. Ready for a fresh finishing touch in the bedroom, I grabbed the Febreze and lightly sprayed over my clean bedding, carpeting, and clothing. Then a pungent odor hit me. It seems someone forgot to label the bottle when they filled it with vinegar instead. FML
Today, while squishing a stink bug, it sprayed directly in my eye. FML
Today, I was maced. Not by a person, but rather by one of those automatic air fresheners in the bathroom. It was conveniently placed at eye level, you know, for freshness. FML
Today, I bought an automatic air refresher. I put the can and batteries in, and it promptly sprayed a blast of its scent down my throat. Now I can't breathe without tasting it. FML
Today, I left my bedroom window open to let in some fresh air while I slept. A skunk got in and sprayed my room. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were lying in bed with a pedestal fan on facing us when my boyfriend sneezed. Where did he sneeze? Into the fan, which then sprayed it all over my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You realise Febreze doesn't actually clean stuff, right? If your room is dirty, CLEAN IT. Don't just spray some stuff around that's going to mask your stench.

When I was younger I got dared for $20 to spray ferbreeze in my mouth... Long story short I made $20 for it. Tasted like aerosol can then apple cinnamon.

One time in Walmart I tried to lightly spray some deodorant in front of my face to smell it but I accidentally pressed way too hard and sprayed it right in my eyes and mouth. I gotta say, it definitely didn't tastle like cinnamon to me.

Today, I decided to cover up the stench in my room by spraying a product, that used to be lethal to animals ^.^ A better option might have been to: 1) Let your room air out, by opening a window (if your room has one) 2) Just leaving the door open 3) Doing some laundry and letting it dry in your room (fresh smelling clothes always smell nice) Oh and pay attention to your surroundings !

The problem is that sometimes PETA has a point - the chemicals that are deadly to animals are also often deadly to us. It's just that little fishies, bunnies and bees are easier to kill than us big humans. Besides which, febreese really just masks smells, it doesn't really freshen. Opening a window is a way better plan, along with cleaning regularly.

Oh I'm not part of PETA, I just found the comment fitting. My roommate sprays Febreeze all over the apartment after he's done getting stoned with his friends. It just ends up smelling so awful, a mix between weed and an overpowering flowery smell, would be better to just let the apartment air out with fresh air...

59- "That USED to be lethal to animals" Woah bro, your entire comment was useless after that remark. Plus, how do you even know that OP has any animals? Please go away with your PETA beliefs.

Apparently, you can't read, I'm not part of PETA, also my point was that stuff is POISONOUS and they weren't careful with it. Please get away with your retarded reading comprehension skills, ******* idiots on this board can't read shit.

Considering she has a vent in her room which allows air flow powerful enough to blow spary back into her eyes makes the window option fairly redundant. The other two options were fine.

Well then simply don't do it if you know it's bad.

I read it as pronounced in an overly exaggerated Australian accent.

If "it" is your use of punctuation, then it definitely hurt my eyes.

You could have just sprayed around the room.

Why fill your room with chemicals at all, when you can just keep it clean and open up a window? Nothing beats fresh air!

Fresh air rules!!!
SecretMe00 5
Fresh air can't kill germs! And some sprays have distinct smells you want your room to smell like.
ShroomsOnAcid 17
80, That's what actual cleaning is for. Plus, you can light a candle, burn some incense, or even make your own potpourri if you want your room to have some kind of smell. But too many people just use Febreeze or air fresheners instead of realizing that if their room smells, there's most likely a reason.

At least your eyes smell good.

You beat me to it Doc :)

So you scrub your couch with soap and water every time you want it smelling good? Yes you clean things but even clean things loose their fresh scent, that's one of the reasons why Fabreze was made.
DocBastard 40
Yes Chelly, when I want to clean my sofa I WASH the cushion covers. Shocking, isn't it?
ShroomsOnAcid 17
55, Clean things don't have a scent. A clean couch smells like a clean couch, not like flowers, "mountains", or cinnamon buns. If it starts smelling noticeably unpleasant after a short period of time, perhaps consider washing your ass/pants more often.
SecretMe00 5
Some couches don't have cushion covers... Just saying... And also that's only cleaning a small portion of the couch... How could u clean the other part...

Maybe light a candle next time?

I don't think that's a good idea based on OP's previous actions.
