Today, I was at rehearsal for a musical. I got a violent nosebleed in the middle of rehearsing and got blood all over my costume. I now owe $350 to the company for the damage I caused. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my school put on a musical. I was one of the leads, and in the middle of my solo, I got a huge nosebleed. A little girl in the front row screamed. FML
Today, I had the longest, bloodiest, bloody nose ever when I was at work. I got blood on a few materials as I was running to the restroom. I work in a food factory, so everything had to be sanitized and thrown out. Now management wants me to pay for everything we had to throw out. FML
Today, I had a nosebleed at work after having recent surgery. As I was walking to the bathroom, I tripped and fell, sending blood splattering everywhere. My manager, who was walking by, looked at me and said, “You’re really committed to the bit.” I was too embarrassed to respond. FML
Today, while in my drama class, my character in a play has to quickly jump up out from his desk. Somehow, my shirt got caught on the desk, ripping it almost completely off in front of a live audience. FML
Today, I was in a play and had a battle scene. I got a little too into it and wound up twisting my ankle. The audience was treated to me screaming like a little girl before face-planting the stage a moment later. FML
Today, I got a nosebleed. For 7 hours. I ended up in the ER. FML
Today, while playing on stage, the singer of my band swung his microphone around, straight into my face. I now have stitches above my right eye, and a job interview in three days. FML
Today, I parked in the parking lot at work feeling like I had to sneeze. As I was walking in, the sneeze finally came. Apparently, my nose was bleeding so when I sneezed, blood got all over the floor and my brand new work clothes. FML
Today, I was stage-managing a school show. Some kids were goofing off backstage, so I yelled at them that they could hurt themselves. While walking back to my chair, I tripped over my own feet and fell 5 feet off the stage, shattering my cheekbone. FML
Today, in marching band, the guy in front of me backed up too far. As we turned, the back of his trombone hit mine, smashing it into my lip. I had to finish the song, all while sending blood down my horn. FML

Of course different people have different severity of nosebleeds. When I was a boy I had fairly frequent nosebleeds. My Dad took me to a specialist for that and they cauterized my nose with a silver nitrate solution (they still do that by the way). I also learned a few things to minimize the collateral damage from the doctor: Stuff a little wad of tissue up the nostril that’s bleeding and take it easy for a while - Don’t move around a lot until the bleeding has stopped. And always carry Kleenex or a cotton handkerchief to control the blood. And bloodstains come out with cold water when they are fresh - Just soak the stain in cold water, assuming it’s washable and not dry clean only. My handkerchiefs were sometimes a bloody mess but the cold water soak and rinse when I got home followed by a wash always took care of the stains. It comes out best when it’s treated before it dries. Also, ordinary drugstore hydrogen peroxide can remove bloodstains - but you have to be careful and promptly rinse it out, you don’t want peroxide sitting on fabric a long time as it can bleach the fabric. Or you could take the costume to a good dry cleaners and explain what happened and hope they can get the bloodstains out. That has some chance of taking care of the problem at a lower cost.

You should flip it around and say you had an allergic reaction to their improperly cleaned costume and threaten legal action.
