Today, after an extremely hard day at work, I took a hot shower to wind down a little bit. I accidentally splashed a painful amount of hot water and shampoo in my eyes. My left contact is now stuck to my eyeball. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while coming home from school on my bike, I lost control of it, and went straight into a light pole. Thankfully I was at a very low speed. After that, someone splashed puddle of water at me with their car. After getting to home, I went to take a bath during which the shampoo went into my left eye. It's still hurting. FML
Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, while taking a shower, I thought that the bathroom was extra steamy because of all the hot water. It wasn't until two-three minutes later when I put some shampoo in my hair that I realized I had forgotten to take my glasses off. FML
Today, I got industrial toilet cleaner in my eyes. Despite the raging fire party going on behind my eyelids, I resisted the urge to stop, drop, and roll, and calmly got in the shower to wash it off. Wherein I promptly slipped, fell, and whacked my head full-force on the bathtub on the way down. FML
Today, I was attempting to tame my bushy eyebrows, since I'm starting a new job in a few days and need to look somewhat presentable, when I poked myself in the eye. Hard. I thought I’d blinded myself for a few moments. Now it’s just red, sore and watery. FML
Today, I was walking to work, when I slipped and landed on my tail bone. Worse still, my hot coffee went flying into my face. I currently can't see out of my left eye. FML
Today, I accidentally sprayed some perfume in my eye. After rinsing said burning eye with water for a few minutes, I half-blindly grabbed the eyedrops my sister left on the counter and used some. They were actually tea tree oil drops. Ouch. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in a rush before work. I squeezed the toothpaste tube too hard, and some of it it shot directly into my eye. I spent the next ten minutes half-blind, crying peppermint tears, and still somehow managed to be late. FML
Today, I was taking a shower with my boyfriend. While we were washing our hair, he got soap in his eyes and mouth. I was facing him, and since his eyes were closed he didn't realize how close I was. When he spat the soap out, it went straight into my eyes. Neither of us could see. FML
Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI. You don't wear contacts in the shower... a smart person takes them out. However, you are clearly not one of them. I don't feel sorry for you.

OPs probably never had a doctor tell them to take their contacts out before showering. I've worn them for 7 years and had 3 different eye doctors and not one has ever mentioned taking them out when showering. I always shower with mine and have never had a problem. This fml is the first I've ever heard about it. So OPs not dumb. They (like thousands of other people) were never told by their doctor not to.

I have been wearing contacts almost as long... my dad is an optometrist and he's my optometrist, he's always told me to take them out, they told my dad that in his training. Those are sharp enough to cut your eye. If the contact slips from the water, with soap to top it off, which it could potentially do, cut your eye. Just because you weren't told, doesn't mean you should. It's common sense. You don't wear glasses in the shower... contacts are just a more smaller, physically contacted version, hence the term contact.

Sharp enough to cut your eye? I think you're using a different kind of contact. The ones I use are the softest, most easy to rip things I've ever seen.

Ooooh... Ouch almost had that same problem myself! See the thing with contacts is, you should first of all not shower with them because the shampoo and the steam are bad for it. Second you shouldn't wear contacts for too long because then the tissue of your eye goes over it and you cant take it off! and lastly never EVER sleep with contacts... (just a heads up so you don't make these mistakes) FYL indeed OP.

Umm no. That's not the first thing they tell you. I've had 3 different eye doctors and not a single one has ever told me this. This fml is the first I've ever heard about this.

Next tim, get your contacts off before showering. When I first started, I left my contacts in a few times and it was hard to get it off my eyeballs. It happens. You don't really need to see clearly in the shower anyways :P

I do believe you're supposed to take your contacts out before the shower so, YDI. However you said it was an "extremely hard day at work" so I suppose we'll let you slide. But really, good luck getting that thing off your eye. O.o
