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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Ok...why is everyone making such a fuss over showering with contacts in? I've been wearing soft lenses for 12 years and I've never taken them out to shower, or even to get in the pool for that matter. Though if I swim with them in, I tend to have to replace them sooner. I've had soap, dirt, chlorine in my eyes and have never had my lens "stick" to my eye, or experienced any real problems. The only troublesome thing that has ever happened with my lenses, is once I accidentally rolled a lens to the back of my eyeball, it came out on its own a couple days later. ...seriously, what the hell brand is he using? FYI, I'm using Acuve Oasys with Hydroclear, maybe give them a shot.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has never had a doctor tell me not to shower in them. This fml is the first I've ever heard that you're apparently not supposed to. I've been doing it just fine for 7 years. Sometimes I'll get water in my eye and it'll be uncomfortable for all of a whole minute but then it's fine.

you can't scratch your retina.. the retina is at the very back of your eye. I'm assuming you mean cornea.

Ydi for showering with your contacts in. You're not supposed to do that for obvious reasons.

YDI - contacts are supposed to come off BEFORE showering.
