Today, at the beach, I noticed a plastic bag in the water. I wanted to do something good for a change, help protect the environment and get it out. It wasn't a bag; it was a jellyfish. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was surfing and trying to impress some girls on the beach. While I was out in the water, a jellyfish wrapped itself around my torso. I started to yell and freak out, making a huge scene. I grabbed it off of me, only to realize that I was freaking out over a plastic grocery bag. FML
Today, I thought I would make my first trip to the beach. While in the water, I was stung by a jellyfish. My friend had to pee on me. I went back into the water to wash the pee off and got stung by another jellyfish. FML
The abyss
Today, I was swimming in the ocean, not too far off shore. I had asked my mom to come in, but she was afraid of the water because fish had nipped at her toes or something back in the day. I told her there was nothing to fear. I ended up getting stung on the balls by a jellyfish. FML
Today, I went to the beach on the cote d'azur and the lifeguard told me that even though there were two jellyfish in the bay, it was safe to swim. Five minutes into swimming, I got stung twice. FML
Today, I was walking through town when I saw a plastic bag on the ground. Trying to be a good citizen, I picked it up, intending on throwing it in the trash. When I looked up, there wasn't a trash can for another hundred feet. So I put it back down. Now I've got a $200 fine to pay for littering. FML
Now you know
Today, I went to the beach. My friend decided it would be funny to push me into a bunch of Portuguese Man-O-War jellyfish washed up on the shore. Did you know their tentacles can sting even if they’re dead? FML
Today, I got stung by jellyfish. As I writhed in pain on the beach, my dad comes up and asks me to be quiet, that I'm embarrassing him. He also mentioned that jellyfish were out today and that I should be careful. Thanks, dad. FML
Help?
Today, I got stung by jellyfish. As I was writhing in pain on the beach, my dad comes up and asks me to be quiet and that I'm embarrassing him. FML
Today, I was at the beach. I'd recently decided to try the "life hack" where you empty out a bottle of lotion and hide small valuables in it, to avoid them being stolen. I'd put the bottle in my bag. Instead of stealing stuff from inside it, though, someone just stole the whole bag. FML
Beach bummer
Today, I was swimming at the beach. At the end of the day, I felt a huge hard lump in between my toes. When I looked closer and pushed on it, it sounded and felt exactly like a bean bag. I had a blister from the day before and it had filled with sand. I had to cut it open to pour the sand out. FML

What?

It's ok. I've already contacted the best code breakers I know of. They will be able to decode this message soon
stargirl_95 24
I think that he's referring to the fact that you can get nasty stings from a jellyfish and he hopes that OP grabbed the top part of the jellyfish that doesn't sting you as opposed to the tentacle things that do.
schhichick 14
At least it was not a shrieking eel!
brivielle 15
But if it had been a bag where did you intend to put it? You were really gonna stroll with it looking for a bin? Wow you're really intense OP
nellbell414 13
Yes, that is exactly what he was going to do. I don't see the problem with it. Not insane at all.
schhichick 14
He did not realize there was a jellyfish until it was too late #50

Good job Spongebob...
Kyle1dc 17
For some reason I thought that there would be something bad in the bag not it being a jellyfish.

Some blondes die their hair black like u . Even if u died ur hair black you will still have the intelligence of s blonde and by your comment is what u showed up

Your code breakers came true 31. 33's saying "didn't get burned"-didn't get stung; "handle full of glibber"-the gooey top part of the jellyfish. Sorry for the downvote number 1.
Mightytall 35
That is what happens when you answer on an FML while still super sleepy. I hope OP didn't touch the stinging part of the jellyfish, instead I hope it was only the top glibbery jelly part. That way no burns but only a handful of nasty glibber.

Pee on it
silvercamaro 22
That always makes me think of the show friends
schhichick 14
Same about Friends! Also makes me think about the movie The Heartbreak Kid!
LittleBells 17
I was about to comment about Friends but the 2 people above me beat me to it

Pee doesn't actually help the sting... It's a myth. Thank God too, because it's kinda gross!

As long as it makes him comfortable

Not on the jelly fish OP.
doodlecloud 27
Who voted 36 down? She's completely right and tbh, I'm surprised people are still saying to pee on it in this day and age...I like Friends as much as the next guy but it's pretty well known to be a myth. Some say vinegar helps, others say no...your best bet is just to rinse with more sea water. And apparently shaving foam and ice packs can help but they should probably be put on after the initial shock and treatment. But yeah, definitely don't pee on it or rinse with fresh water, you'll just make it worse.

I've heard people say this all my life and nobody ever told me it's just a myth. Good to know!

I like your though process. But how on earth could you mistake a carrier bag for a jellyfish? I mean I don't see like tesco branded jellyfish anywhere ahaha.
ekaat11 17
There is a jellyfish called the Portuguese man o' war that is commonly mistaken for a plastic bag
tj4234 36
Having seen a Portugese Man O' War, I can confirm that they do look like shopping bags. Their sting is also particularly nasty, and potentially fatal if stung more than once (even if you are stung a second time years later) so i seriously hope it wasn't one of those.

Sea turtles mistake plastic bags for jellyfish a lot actually. Then they eat them and starve to death because it clogs them up and makes them feel full, so they can't eat and wouldn't if they could.
Razi_tail 25
40 is right. They are the sea turtles favorite snack and plastic bags look like jellies to them.
I_lost_the_game 25
I almost did the same thing today myself, the jellyfish was bright blue. Luckily it was on shore, so I noticed it was a jellyfish before touching it
Anony2014 10
#34, I picked one of those up in Bermuda. So bad... so bad. I now cringe and retreat into myself if I even come across a just a picture of them...
ArturoRamirez 16
Poor sea turtles.
mr_aaaaaaaa 12
Awwww poor jellyfish
ComoEsJuan 24
I'm sure the jellyfish wasn't harmed, but I am almost certain that OP bagged a sting or two.
imlifeless2 25
Would you really need mouth to mouth for a jellyfish sting?
vividpictures 17
If the lifeguard was hot then yes, yes you would.

Nice one

danthehuman 29
Well OP, that's happened to me before. Now find a buddy that's willing to pee on your hand.
brivielle 15
what he can't pee on it himself?
1two3four5six 23
You're not supposed to do that, it's a myth. You're actually supposed to put more salt water on the sting.
Soviet_American 29
I thought you were only supposed pee on it if it's a sea urchin.?
TommyG493 11
bet you wish you had a jelly fishing net
slyde32 12
as soon as I read "wanted to do something good" I knew it was a jellyfish
kodaxX 8
I don't see the relevancy here.
jamescrazy96 17
At least you tried!!!
ckerane 16
good job for trying. did it sting you?
