Today, as I was walking home late at night, some asshole threw a lit cigarette butt out of their balcony. It fell between my glasses and my eye and left a burn mark on my cheek. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was standing on the patio when one of my upstairs neighbors threw a cigarette butt over the balcony. It landed on my head and burned some of my hair. FML
Today, while sitting at a red light with my window down, the asshat next to me flicked his still-lit cigarette away. It landed in my car and wedged between me and my seat. It burned a hole in my shirt and my seat, and burned my back and hair. FML
Today, I got punched in the face after a stranger asked for a light, didn't realize it was a butane lighter and burnt the tip of his nose lighting his cigarette. Now my nose looks worse than his. FML
Today, I finally found a reason to quit smoking. I threw my cigarette butt out the window and it blew back in, went down the back of my pants, and burnt my butt in 3 different places. FML
Today, I accidentally dropped my cigarette down my shirt. There are now two unsightly, painful burns right in the center of my chest. FML
Today, I was smoking a cigarette in my backyard while my parents were out, because I'm not allowed to smoke. While smoking, my parents came home unexpectedly. In a rush, I flicked it over the fence, and it landed in my neighbor's hair. It was still lit. FML
Today, I lit a cigarette in the opposite direction of the wind. My hair blew into it, and caught on fire. FML
Today, I was cleaning my room and set my burnt out light bulb on my computer chair without any second thought. Later, I sat on the chair, the light bulb shattered and I got a huge gash on my butt. FML
Today, I lit a used tissue on fire in my room. Eventually, the fire became kinda of large (it was a big tissue) and when I blew it out, it fell on the carpet. Now I have a burn stain on it. FML
Today, I was on my back porch having a cigarette. Not being all that awake yet, I threw the butt, still smoldering, on the ground. Did I remember that there was an ashtray right next to me? No. I did what I would do at work; I stamped it out. Barefoot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

most smokers are so rude. so tired of them throwing their butts out windows and not using the ash trays that are built into their cars or spending the dollar to buy one at the dollar store. its like the whole world is their ash tray. so rude. i just want to go to where they live and throw my junk all over their homes and see if that is ok.

That sucks, FYL but it was better on your cheek then in your eyes, that would have been much more painful.

People that smoke are disgusting anyway. Karma will do them in young

uhh how is smoking alone due to stress or whatever karma? you know the oldest person to live was a smoker, right?

Three words for you. Second hand smoke.

Meant to edit this in. It's bad for your health, it's bad for the health of others, and (as demonstrated in this case) it's bad for the environment. Most people just toss their butts off to the side and hope somebody else will take care of it. It's proven to be cancer causing and very unhealthy, one guy that lived a long time smoking doesn't make it good for everybody.

So that one person that lived makes up for the millions that have died and are dying due to tobacco related products? Don't see that being a good argument lol

Haha. I thought it was a TERRIFIC and iron clad argument. Kidding. It's just a small burn mark on his cheek, though. Boo ******* hoo. Get over it.

While there's no hard statistics because the tobacco lobbyists and anti-tobacco lobbyists all skew their numbers, it's generally agreed upon that somewhere around 10% of smokers get the lung cancer we're promised. Yes, it's unhealthy, and yes, there are many other health risks, but that doesn't mean every smoker's gonna croak at 50. Also, your "karma" theory is bullshit. Someone mildly annoys you with their cigarette stench and you think they deserve an early grave for that? Honestly, I don't see your supposed karma bringing you much good fortune after a statement like that.

You are a idiot. Im a state wrestler and have been smoking since I was 13, am now 20, and never get out of breath unless the person im wrestling is really good. The whole BS about dying from long cancer some is true, but most is just bullshit spread by people who dont like the smell. Its America. Its LEGAL (for over 18) So put ur bigkid panties on, and SHOVE IT PRICK!

How did this one get through, it isn't that bad. I mean really this is just lame. I think you need to evaluate your life if this is the worst thing to EVER happen to you.

the op doesnt say this is the worst thing happened.. it certainly is wicked though. i mean come on, sb writes 'today michael jackson died. fml' and that one gets the highest positive votes. is that really the WORST thing happened to the OP? no.

A burn on his cheek from something that he had no control over does suck! (I mean, it would be totally his fault if he had lit a cigarette and then had that burn his cheek.) But to be burned by something flying at you... that sucks! :(

that is really rude... I don't know if the police would care, but in a hypothetical world, you can detect who did that.. if you keep the cigarette butt, there certainly is DNA on it from saliva. and you know exactly where it came from. with warrant and dna sample, that douchebag can be found.. ok as i said, the police probably wouldn't deal with such a small thing.. but in the future, that kind of stupidness might be very easy to detect. say you can buy a 'take-home' dna sequence detector, and everyone's dna is in the accessible system. tadaaa there is your bad guy!! this is probably not that far.. ok yes, i work in genetics department :)

This is just ridiculous. Why would you go that far to punish someone who absentmindedly flicked their butt off their porch? It's not like we smokers have contests to see how many of you non-smokers we can burn. OP's smoker should have been more careful where he threw his cigarette, but honestly, what were the chances this would happen?
mrahhhhh 21
Cigarettes cause fires too. Flicking a lit cigarette could have burned down the smoker's whole ******* apartment building. So I can see many people caring, especially since there have been huge wildfires in California (wildfires as in more than one) due to cigarette butts being carelessly tossed away. And accidentally causing a fire through negligently tossing a lit cigarette can result in being charged with arson, and manslaughter if there's a death caused by the fire. Plus you will be sued to help cover the extremely expensive cost of firefighting the blaze. They don't **** around with this sort of thing, and neither should you.
