Today, my mom noticed the hickey that I have on my neck. Embarrassed, I tried convincing her that I burnt myself using a hair straightener. She then told me that that's the same excuse she told my grandma when she got a hickey. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend cried and begged me not to leave her, saying her "hickey" was a burn from a curling iron. That might be believable if it was one on her neck and not in four places on her tits and thighs. FML
Today, I'm meeting my boyfriend's very conservative parents for the first time, so I decided to dress appropriately and curl my hair to match. In doing so, I accidentally touched my neck with the iron, and I now have a burn there that look a lot like a hickey. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over with a hickey on his neck. He thinks "The vacuum did it" is a believable excuse. FML
Today, my mother found a hickey on my neck. Not believing that it was from the hungry 2-month-old child I was holding, she confronted my boyfriend about it. He promptly accused me of cheating. FML
Today, out of boredom, I decided to dye my hair. I clumsily spilled some of the purple dye on my chest and shoulders. My insane mother is convinced the marks are hickeys I got from sneaking out and having sex with a boyfriend I don’t even have. She won’t listen, and I’m grounded for a month. FML
Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML
Today, my mom came over to visit and permed my hair. Ten minutes after she started, I told her it was burning. She told me to suck it up because it doesn't hurt that badly. I now have scabs all over my scalp, hairline, and nape. FML
Today, I told my mom I was with my female friend last night, because I wasn't ready to tell her about my new boyfriend. I didn't realize he gave me a hickey and now my whole family thinks I'm a lesbian. They won't stop making fun of me. FML
Today, I went to kiss my girlfriend on the neck while she was cooking on the stove. Apparently I scared her and now I have a nice burn mark on my head from the hot frying pan she hit me with. FML
Today, my boyfriend keeps trying to convince me that the hickey on his neck was from his friend attacking him with a vacuum cleaner. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Should have said " Paintball welt to the neck." My welts on my neck look like hickeys.

hickeys are trashy and that excuse is so tired...

Hmm well I don't think people really straightened their hair when your mom was of the age to get in trouble for having a hickey. I don't know if I'm calling fake, but I don't find this story entirely plausible.

People have been curling and straightening their hair for hundreds of years. They used irons heated on the stove.

I call 12 year old on this one.

Not an FML. If you'd burnt yourself with a straightener and then everyone (and your boyfriend) though you had a hickie, that might be an FML. /Might./ (Happened to a friend of mine. Not hair iron, but swim suit hickie. But her BF is a swimmer, and she managed to convince her mom after a long argument. :P)

Grrr I can't believe this was submitted onto the sight, way worse things have happened to me that weren't published! I guess I just don't see the suckage of it?

Well I don't know why fMYYYlife's posts weren't accepted but if your submissions are typed in any way like you typed your comment it's no wonder that they didn't get accepted.

My cousin once got burned by the straighter when she was getting ready for a date with her bf. I had to wait until he got there so I could explain to him that yes, it was in fact only a burn.... But seriously OP, if you're embarrassed because you have a hickey, you shouldn't be getting them in the first place.
