Today, my 13-year-old son discovered Axe. Axe shower gel. Axe shampoo. Axe body spray. All at once. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my son sprayed Axe body-spray all over the house in the vain hope of covering up the scent of the joints he'd been smoking. FML
Today, my pre-teen brother has started using the entire Axe line because he believes that it will give him an "edge with the ladies". He insists on using the products at least three times a day, including before bedtime. I'm allergic to anything that is perfumed. We share a room. FML
Today, I came home to find my 14-year-old son attempting to get drunk off aftershave. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom got him a shitload of Axe for his birthday. Now I get nauseous whenever I go near him. FML
Today, my 12-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter sprayed themselves with a ton of deodorant and perfume respectively. The two clouds of spray have combined into a noxious gas that slowly traveled through the house, giving everybody an instant, massive headache. Everybody, except my son and daughter. They think they smell great. FML
Today, my Axe shampoo, body wash, and deodorant finally did their job: they got a girl to notice me. Too bad the girl was my grandma. FML
Today, my teenage son tried to huff a can of spray paint. FML
Today, I came home and found a can of body spray. My parents get me a new scent whenever they go shopping, which is usually at least twice a week. They left a note: "Do you get it yet?" FML
Today, my son thought it would be a great idea to spray a whole can of spray tan all over my freshly-painted white bathroom walls as an "experiment". He's 18. FML
Today, my son thought it was a good idea to spray deodorant into his mouth because he wanted fresh breath. This resulted in him passing out. My son is 17. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Very punny what you did there... I'm kidding, your comment is much too overused, try to come up with something original next time, alright?

I happen to like a little axe on my man, but he knows the perfect amount for him. Old spice isn't my kinda smell

I knew a guy who would keep a can of Axe in his work truck. After a long day working in the hot sun, he'd spray himself down with Axe; he called this "an Italian shower."

I don't mind the Axe body wash, or even the hair products, because the scent from those tends to fade fairly quickly. Sadly, Axe seems to be the new Old Spice, aka the first "cologne" for boys just entering their home stretch into manhood. I agree with #34, take your son out to choose a very nice, adult man's cologne (even if it's pricey, I promise ANYTHING is better than Axe and it's worth it). Even if he still uses the Axe body wash and hair products, at least thos ewill fade and the fragrance of the GOOD cologne will be the one that lasts. My husband was a HORRIBLE Axe user, all the way from high school and up into his early twenties, and now only uses the Axe body wash (though it's a scent chosen by ME because damn it, if I have to suffer the brand at ALL then I better at least SORT OF like the scent). As for an actual fragrance that he uses to last the day he uses a very nice, semi-expensive cologne that I started buying him in an effort to break up the noxious cloud of Axe that permeated our home, and it WORKED! Just be sure to teach your son that with concentrated fragrances like that, LESS IS MORE for god's sake, because even high-end colognes can be disgusting when the user practically BATHES in them.

I wanted to thumb you down simply because your comment was just so damn long! But at the same time i couldn't stop myself from reading on, now I know half your life story.

Considering that you're someone who votes down long comments simply for being long, it comes as a surprise to me that you actually CAN read. Though your comprehension of what you read seems to be lacking, seeing as how you somehow drew a life story out of that.

Woah easy there ! No need to get so offended, I was clearly being light hearted, Have a good day .

Better than a stinky teenager!

No, it's not. It's just stinky teenager smell covered with even worse smell. It's double stinky.

SMELLS LIKE BIGFOOTS' DICK!
aw3som3sauc3 10
I thought noone has found bigfoot yet, and on a more startling note, why the hell do you know what his dick smells like?

it's a quote from Anchorman, when he puts on the sex panther cologne.
