Today, I decided to treat myself to a pedicure ahead of my cousin's wedding. The woman doing my nails asked if I wanted my toe hairs trimmed. I was so taken aback and embarrassed that I said yes. They charged me extra. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was getting a pedicure, and they used some sort of scrubby thing that really tickled my feet. When I couldn't take it any more, I accidentally kicked the lady who was doing my nails in the face. FML
Today, as I was getting my nails done at a salon, the owner pulled my head back against the chair in front of all the customers and began to tweeze my eyebrows. When I exclaimed that I didn't pay for that service, she replied, "I don't care. This needs done." FML
Today, I went to get a pedicure for the first time. My feet are VERY ticklish. I reflexively kicked the poor lady in the face, as I wet my pants. FML
Today, I went to get my nails done for the first time in a while. I don't like to go that much because two of my toes are connected, and I'm very self-conscious about it. The man painting my toes started laughing when he saw them and called all the other employees over to look. FML
Today, I didn't mind paying a little bit extra for my manicure because I forgot how nice it was to have someone hold your hand. Even if it was an old Asian lady. FML
Today, I went to a different hairdresser than usual to get 5 inches off my hair and bangs. He ended up charging me half price, saying, "Don't worry, we all make mistakes." FML
Today, I got my eyebrows waxed. The lady who waxed my eyebrows also decided to pop the big zit on my forehead. She charged me a dollar extra. FML
Today, my friend and I decided to get bikini waxes. Afterwards, the women who did the waxing told my friend it was $30 for her wax. Then, in front of the whole salon, the women points at me and says, "You! You so hairy- $35!". FML
Today, we went for a foot massage. My wife found it incredibly relaxing; I just found it weird that a complete stranger seemed to be trying to give each of my toes its own handjob. Plus they used so much moisturiser that it made the inside of my shoes feel like squishy mud all day. FML
Today, I got fed up with the amount of hair on my feet, so I went to get my foot hair waxed off. When I removed my socks, the waxer laughed the amount of foot hair. I'm a 18 year old female and it appears I have feet that were last seen on Big Foot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No shame in having a little toe hair! I let them cut mine too when I get my pedi, but they don't charge me extra! That is a little much! Enjoy your pretty toes OP!

Everyone has toe hair OP. Nothing to be ashamed of.

That's their way of making extra money. I go in and get my eyebrows waxed and they'll always ask "upper lip too?" Even though I don't have any hairs there at all. I take care of that myself. :P As far as your toes, now you're aware that you have a few that grow there, so snip them from now on.

Just shave it when you shave your legs, problem solved! For free! Lol

I tend to just shave or pluck them! Don't worry OP! You're not the only one with hairy toes XD

The shaving I get, the plucking just sounds eye wateringly painful lol. Each to their own though I guess :)

I find plucking to be better as the hair grows back finer. :)

I don't see why this is an fml. When the barber asks me if I want a shave too, I expect to be charged extra for the additional service. What did you think was going to happen?

Hobbits always have dirty feet. Didn't you watch the 12 hours of LotR movies?

That's how they get you.They ask you, making it seem that it's free or "on the house"

Well you shouldn't really have to be embarassed for the reasons everyone's already stated but if you were, why didn't you trim them beforehand? You went there specifically to get your nails painted, you KNEW they were going to see your toes...can't help but feel a little foresight would've helped here.

My toes are really bad, with or without hair. So don't worry OP, just embrace it like I do and show off your foot to any stranger that passes by.

OP didn't know they were going to charge her for it. Pretty sure that's the whole point...

It is bad if you don't have toe hair. It means you have poor circulation.. Next time tell them to wax it it stays gone longer. So at least ya get your money's worth...
