Today, after a nap, I went to scratch my eye and felt what I presumed to be a clump of mascara on my eyelash. I didn't wear mascara today. It was a tick. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to find a tick stuck to my eyelashes. The only way I know of to get it off is with fire. FML
Today, I applied mascara directly onto my eyeball. FML
Today, I found out that if you cry yourself sleep and forget to take off your mascara, your top and bottom lashes will stick together. Leaving you unable to open your eyes. FML
Today, I was about to get in the shower, when I felt an odd itch in my navel. I saw what I thought was bellybutton lint, so I pulled on it, and quickly realized what I had between my fingers was a still-squirming, headless tick. FML
Today, I was cleaning mouse remains from the kitchen floor, left by my cat. I found a small round thing nearby. With no idea what it was, I picked it up and gave it a little squeeze to see if it was solid. It wasn't, and burst with great force onto my face. I'm pretty sure it was an eye. FML
Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML
Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML
Today, I reached to pick out a booger stuck in my nose that had been irritating me, and ended up poking myself in the eye. FML
Today, while I was shaving my nose started to itch. Guess which I shaved and which I itched. FML
Today, after working 8 hours and immediately packing my house for another 6 hours to prepare for moving, I was extremely exhausted and more than ready to brush my teeth and go to bed. I tiredly brushed my teeth with my mascara. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Pour gasoline on your eyelashes and set it on fire; that should help. FYL indeed.

@#19 it's only a FML if the tick attached its self to her eyelid. since she didn't say anything about feeling it bite her (you can feel it, expecially if it is on your eye) it was just crawling around. YDI. What have you been doing to get a tick on your face?

#31 that made me laugh. OP, FYL! Ticks are gross; just the word makes me cringe.

on the bright side it probably made your eyelashes look thicker.

it really depends what happened next...this isn't an FML if you just flicked it off (I would imagine it would be somewhat difficult for a tick to latch onto your eyelashes...?)

hey it could be a bedbug they look just like ticks, so if your in an apt or something watch out!! then youd really wanna FML

i hope you didn't just pull it out of your eyelid. when you just pull them out their heads sometimes get stuck under your skin. you have to suffocate them with something like vaseline or whatever to make them let go of your skin first
