Today, my shower is being renovated so I washed my hair in the kitchen sink. I put my two year-old son on the counter next to me so I could keep him close. As I was rinsing out my hair, my son started playing with the light switches. He flicked the garbage disposal by accident. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I gave my 8-month-old a bath in the kitchen sink after dinner, like I always do. Today, she decided to poop in it. FML
Today, my idiot son tried to load the dishwasher while the dishes inside were clean. FML
Today, I took a shower while my two-year-old slept. In the 30 minutes it took me to shower, get dressed, and go back to his room, he had woken up, taken his pants and diaper off, and smears crap all over himself and his bed. FML
Today, my 3-year-old came to me very excited because he had gone to the bathroom by himself for the first time. What he did not tell me was that he had shit on the floor, and when I went into the bathroom to check, I slipped on a turd and knocked myself out on the sink. FML
Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML
Today, I found out that if you let your son install a new shower head, he won't tighten it properly. So when you turn the shower on, it will shoot out at rocket speed, hitting you in the face. Then when you grab the shower handle to prevent yourself falling backwards, you will just rip that out and hit your head again. FML
Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML
Today, my 2-year-old sister walked in on me while I was showering. She began to splash around in the toilet, and as I hastily jumped out to stop her, my brother and his friend got a good look as they walked past the room. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Today, I made the mistake of taking apart and fixing a malfunctioning toaster in front of my five year-old. Two hours later, he tried to take apart a lamp that was plugged in. He shocked himself, broke the lamp, and set the carpet on fire. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#19, given the context, 'on by accident' would make even more sense. He flicked the garbage disposal on by accident. OP, you never leave a toddler on a counter. It's plain common sense. You're lucky he didn't hurt himself.

No it is by accident

Or 'accidentally flipped the switch on, by accident'

The person who wrote this has obviously never looked underneath the sink at how a garbage disposal works. Your hair would have to literally be 2 feet long, and you'd have to snake it into the pipes with a stick. Nice try though, I guess. =]

First of all, why would you leave a two year old on the counter? Second of all, you're a dumbass. You really think a two year old wouldn't start playing with switches? Do you know anything about children. You deserved that.

#14... who on earth goes to the salon on a regular basis just to get their hair washed? And learn to read!!! The shower was being renovated... anyone with half a brain can infer that the shower is directly above the tub, meaning the tub was probably also out of commission. OP - YDI for putting a toddler on a counter. You're lucky that all your kid did was play with a few switches rather than going splat on the floor while your head was under the faucet.

YDI for letting a 2 year old sit on the counter for that long while you have your hands and eyes away from him. I thought this was going to end up a totally different way, I mean he could have jumped right off. What kind of a mother does that? Apparently one that also doesn't teach her kid not to turn on the garbage disposal.... I doubt anything bad happened to your hair though, but you can always just get it cut and styled. And #29, I think #14 was saying, if your shower doesn't work, go to the salon to get it washed. That would have been a much better idea here, as we can see.
