Today, I decided to conquer my fear of blades, and tried shaving my legs with a razor. I sat on the side of my bathtub and wet my legs, but some of the water splashed. I slipped on it and fell back, hitting my head on the tile wall and slicing my leg open at the same time. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I shaved for the first time. My mum gave me a razor and I spent about 20 minutes trying to use it. I gave up, yelling, "FUCK IT!" and put it back on the shelf. It fell, and as it hit the floor, a lid fell off. I'd tried to shave with a sheathed razor for 20 minutes. FML
Today, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML
Today, I shaved my legs for the first time in three weeks. It took half an hour, three disposable razors, and I cut my legs up so badly they look worse then they did when they were hairy. 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
Today, I was in the shower washing my hair when my hand ran down the shower caddy and in particular, on my razor. If I wasn't woozy from all the blood splatter around the shower - seeing the bone that connects my finger definitely did it. FML
Today, while shaving my nether regions, I slipped and sliced myself in three separate places. They won't completely stop bleeding. I'm virtually having a second period, and it hurts to close my legs. FML
Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML
Today, I was in a rush to get ready for work so I quickly shaved my legs. In my haste, I accidentally nicked myself in a very sensitive area and had to spend the day simmering in discomfort and checking my crotch every so often to make I wasn't bleeding through my pants. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were having a shower together for the first time. He was trying impress me and did some sort of dance move, he slipped, and when he fell he kicked my leg out causing me to fall and hit my face on the faucet. FML
Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well in another year I'm sure you'll work up enough courage to try again.

Eek, but I'm sure it was a coincidence. A simple razor isn't something to be irrationally afraid of.

That's just a fluke accident. Don't let this rare occurrence stop you from trying to overcome your fears.

I can't be the only person bothered by 'wetted'.

I voted YDI exclusively because of the word "wetted".

I actually had to check my dictionary to clarify that "wet" is the past participle. It's actually both "wet" and "wetted."

Now it's a fear of blades and a fear of wet floors lol

What kind of blade were you using? A simple shaving razor which has 3-4 blades usually won't accidentally slice you, and even if it does slice you the slice will be shallow enough that the bleeding stops within an hour at most and the cut will normally heal in a day or two

OP was using a straight razor to shave her legs obviously. :p Leaving her with a very "Sweeney Todd-esque" sliced open leg.

I hope you're ok. my friend uses a straight edge blade (I think that's what it's called) and he cut a chunk of his chin off because his brother scared him.

That's why I stick to Veets. Slap it on, scrape it off & rinse. Repeat as needed :-)

tried veet once, got a really bad chemical burn. I'll never do that again.

"Everything you want is on the other side of fear". Possible concussion and a bloody gaping wound? Strange tastes OP.
