Today, I thought about going to visit an old girlfriend of mine with hopes of getting a little head. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be head lice I'd get. FML

Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML

Today, my four roommates and I contracted lice. While all our heads were slathered in mayonnaise and saran wrap, our building's fire alarm went off. FML

Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML

Today, after finally spending the night with my longtime crush, it's as if I can still feel her fingers caressing my hair. But wait, no, that's just the head lice she gave me. FML

Today, within the first 15 minutes of a nonstop 8-hour flight, the guy sitting next to me picked an eyelash he found on my face, stared at it for a few seconds, and stuck it in his mouth. FML

What does age have to do with getting hair lice? It can happen to anyone at any age.

What does your age or sex have to do with getting head lice? They don't discriminate. I made a comment on FML and I'm a 29 year old male.

Time to shave your head besides you don't want to be a dick and spread it to others...

Yeah, but it's a lot more common amongst children.

Exactly.

You should either cancel your flight, OR take ALL the proper precautions to ensure it doesn't spread. Spreading it due to carelessness would be a real LOUSEy thing to do.

No bad pun spelling neccesary, as lousy literally means infested with lice.

Shave your head and tell everyone you had a Britney moment.

Buy a hat at one of those airport shops. Make sure you try on many hats to be sure you get the perfect one!

Well, have fun shaving your head. On the bright side, maybe the you'll be mistaken for a cancer patient and given a free upgrade. I'm just saying, stranger things have happened.

They make shampoo for headlice...

Hold up your head proudly. Just make sure you have lice shampoo and a clear bag over your head. Unexpected surprise is all the leg and arm room you will have.

Well, it is still possible for adults to get head lice. Do you work with a lot of children, or are you around them a lot? Still, that sucks, but at least you can treat it.
