Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML

Today, I decided to light a candle in my room. Since fire intrigues me, I put an old brochure into it. Paper burns fast, and now my carpet has a big, black burn mark. FML

What's that smell?
Today, my apartment smelled like something was burning, so I checked the oven, toaster, outlets, and even the hallway. After an hour, I discovered the smell was coming from the candle I had forgotten I'd lit in the bathroom. I had spent an hour investigating a fire that wasn't happening. FML

Today, a hornet thought it would be fun to fly into a candle that I had lit. As the hornet burned to death, it flung its charred body at my face, which is more painful than it sounds. FML

Today, due to the dry weather, my nose became dry and began to bleed so I plugged it with toilet paper and went about my business. Forgetting about it, I later went out to smoke a cigarette. Not paying attention, I lit the toilet paper on fire as well. FML

But… why?
Today, I have a cold. Trying to clear out my stuffy nose, I tried putting mouthwash in my nose. Thinking it was an awesome idea, I put some more in. I then starting screaming in pain due to the extreme burning in my nostrils. FML

Today, I sliced a deep gash into my thumb while carving up bagels. After putting a plaster on, I returned to my room to relax, where I lit a candle. The flame from my new lighter shot up, and set fire to the plaster on my thumb. Now I have a cut AND several burns. FML
It feels fucking awful
Pucker up
Today, on a whim, I decided to try to light a fart on fire. I now know how it feels to take a dump when you have a burn directly on your asshole. FML

What? Why?
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

Best way to smell a candle.. and well I guess avoid a nose burn, is to simply blow it out. You're welcome.

Wow! Thank you for taking sometime out of your incredibly busy life to help us simpletons who don't understand how fire works... What can be your next great lesson, ooh, does water actually make your skin wet or is that just a myth?!

This would be one of them moments where the YDI button just doesn't quite express my feelings right now.

I often marvel at the lengths some on FML will go to in order to rid themselves of unwanted hair but burning out your nose-hair over a candle is taking it too far!

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is now a new level of being an idiot.

Woo hoo, can't wait to level up and learn the skill, "Sniff Candle Ignite"! We call it SCI on the Boards, in case you were wondering . . . *cool shrug*.

Today, I burnt my nose. How? I tried to light my farts on fire and smell them at the same time. FML
