Today, whilst tuning my guitar, one of the steel strings snapped and hit me in the face. Now I'm on my way to my first date with the girl of my dreams, and I'm wearing an eye patch and have a thick red line across my face. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while video chatting with my girlfriend, who lives on the other side of the country, I thought I'd play a song for her on my guitar. The string broke and hit me in the face. I burst into tears and had to hang up. FML
Today, while tuning my bass guitar, I noticed a very strange screeching sound. I leaned over to look behind the neck. The biggest string snapped off and cut the side of my face. 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 was walking down the street with my acoustic guitar on my back. I saw a girl that I like coming down the opposite way, so I decided to play my guitar to try and impress her. I started to tune it quickly, but while I wasn't paying attention, I ran into a pole. Now my guitar is cracked. FML
Today, my band went to play a set for the first time. I'm the drummer. All was going well, and then before our first song I threw the sticks in the air, went to catch them, and one hit me right in the eye. I couldn't continue playing. Now I have to wear an eyepatch. FML
Today, I was jamming out and playing some air guitar. I somehow managed to knee myself directly in my left eye socket. I now have a hideously swollen face and a black eye. When people ask me what happened, I'll be hesitant to tell the truth. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, I forgot to tune my guitar pre-performance. Surprising, because it was in tune when I frantically did it by ear backstage. Too bad two of the six strings snapped, smacking the drummer in the face. FML
Today, I was playing my guitar and singing on the street corner. I did earn money, when some guy threw a quarter out of his car window for me. It hit me in the face. I now have a circle shaped bruise under my eye. FML
Today, I was on webcam for the first time with a guy I've been texting for a while. Trying to show off my guitar skills, I lean down to pick it up and fell on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Chin up OP. Maybe when you tell her that you play guitar, she'll be impressed and you'll get to play for her on your second date!

If you can play the guitar at least decently for her she might understand and appreciate the sacrifices you sometimes have to make.

Maybe a guitar-playing pirate is just what she's looking for.

You could always say that you are a pirate, and that you lost "yer gud eye" in a terrible naval battle! Remember to stop by the pet store to pick up a parrot on the way. I mean, who doesn't love pirates? Unless of course this girl you like is a ninja...

If she's a ninja then maybe this could be the start of a Romeo and Juliet-esqe story. Minus the suicide of course.

Or if she's a sea merchant or in the Navy. That crowd trends to dislike pirates as well.

Well that would be why you're suppose to face away when you tune your guitar. Ydi

Chicks dig scars, or so they say. Good luck OP.

well you can always tell bad pirate jokes.... just sayin

I don't know... eyepatch and a scar? Sounds kind of cool. Anyway, if she likes you it won't matter, but I say, enjoy the "bad boy" points.

Dude! Tell her the story of HOW you are wearing an eye patch, and she may like you. Oh, and pirates. They wear eye patches.

Hey man, I went on my first date with a chipped tooth and a huge bruise on my chin, and we ended up going out again

At least it's an ice breaker. If you can laugh at yourself with this it'll put your personality on display for your date.

Don't be down on yourself, OP. At least you can still tell her you're a musician, and you now have the added bonus of looking badass. That's a win-win right there!
