Today, I came home from out of state. I found out someone online had told my husband that the "fumes" from hot showers can be lethal. As a precaution, he removed the draft-blocking bathroom door to make sure it's "properly ventilated." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my husband left our bedroom to go turn the thermostat down in the hall. I let out the smelliest fart, so bad that I had to blame it on our baby. He laughed and said, "I leave for one second and come back and it smells like a sewer in here." FML
Today, my girlfriend offered to wash the bathroom while I was at work. I came back home to find her feeling unwell with a bad headache. She had mixed drain cleaner with bleach because she thought it would make the bathroom cleaner. Now my entire house is a mini gas chamber. FML
Today, I was talking to a cute guy at my house party and had to fart. Luckily, it was silent. Unluckily, he smelled it, thought my house had a gas leak, and ran to the basement to check the pipes and ensure our safety. FML
Today, I learned it's not safe to take a bath if my aunt is staying over, because apparently she was never taught the "Knock before you enter" rule if the bathroom door is closed. FML
Today, I popped into the shower hoping to come out all warm and clean. Something was very wrong with the pipes, and I came out smelling like sewage instead. FML
Today, while sitting on the couch with my husband, I farted quietly. Not a big deal, except it's hot out and our fan was blowing in his face, and it stunk. FML
Today, my partner took a shower while in the middle of cooking something. My eyes are still burning from the smoke. FML
Today, my dad was stupid enough to think that the kitchen sink is a good place to clean a gas tank. Now, the whole house smells of gas fumes and I'm about to pass out. FML
Today, the smoke alarm went off while I was in the shower. Fearing a house fire, I jumped out and ran out, wearing just a tiny towel that barely covered my modesty, only to realize that water was coming through the ceiling and on to the smoke alarm, via a leak in the shower tray. FML
Today, after taking a shower, I realised that my landlord was peeking in the whole time through broken ventilator. Once he tried to get into my room, using his keys. I couldn't tell the landlord's wife, as I didn't have any proof so I left the house, even though my rent was long due. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I'm sorry but if your husband doesn't know what steam is, then it's time to trade him in.

Dry oFf in the shower, opening thr curtain as little as possible. Solve the problem of being cold after the shower. As for pooping, it will only hurt him.

Haha! Someone needs to take a science class!! But all joking aside, just treat him seriously. Don't make him feel stupid. Just fix the problem maturely. :)

It would depend on how it's worded. There was a huge scare awhile back when some troll started warning people about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide, which is found in every home. He used several bad examples of what it can be used for, etc and scared a load of people. Dihydrogen monoxide is a fancy name for water. So if the person talking to OP's husband called it "dihydrogen monoxide fumes" and OP's husband isn't up to scratch on his science...

What happened to just leaving the door open?

Its actually true, the fumes from hot showers can be leather. But only in ONE way. If you don't properly air our the bathroom (leaving a window or door slightly cracked open) after hot showers, the humidity will cause mold to grow. Which can cause fetal illnesses, but it takes YEARS for it to happen, and weeks of no proper ventilation to cause the molds. And even if you don't ventilate often and mold grows, you can always get rid of it with proper cleaning.

But why would you do that? She is trying to warn us about fetal illnesses from leather fumes!

Well that's not the ONLY way... chlorine gas turns to chloroform when heated to 41 degrees Celsius.

LOL, you should replace your current husband with a model who can think for himself :) If my GF ever did that (fell for that), I'd tell her to fix everything up or get the **** out of my life... She would get 3 minutes to finish either one of them.

Your husband is an idiot.
