Today, I discovered a large and somewhat disturbing whitehead inside my ear crevice. Apparently it's been there for a while, because everyone at work has nicknamed it Hugo. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I realized that the cute freckle I noticed a few weeks ago is actually a giant blackhead. FML
Today, my nose had been feeling weirdly uncomfortable all day. After I got home, I blew my nose really hard. I found that a bug had been resting inside my nose the entire time. FML
Today, I discovered that it is possible for bugs to lay eggs in your ears. FML
Today, I went to the doctor's to get a checkup. When the nurse stuck the Otoscope into my ear to look, she was disgusted. When she pulled it out, she told me that I had an ear infection, and that she'd popped a pimple in there by mistake. FML
Today, my boyfriend showed me a YouTube video of him popping a huge blackhead on his forehead. He told me he had been "growing" it for more than 2 years now. I have been caressing and kissing that thing for almost 2 years because I thought it was a beauty mark. FML
Today, while at work, I managed to scrape open the inside of my nose with my fingernail, drawing blood in the process. I had to quickly up an explanation for my scream that didn't go: "Well, I was scouting for boogers..." FML
Today, I found out where the mysterious bites on my back keep coming from. It's not every day you find an earwig in your loofah. FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe Hugo can hang out with the Little Dipper?

Op, I suggest cleaning your ears out more often! Its not even that hard to do...just q-tip it after every shower! It's kinda gross how you never knew about it .__.
Hockeyboy4280 18
20- I use q tips as well, I use them nearly every day actually. I don't know how to get clean ears without them quite honestly. However, Q tips aren't good, so use with caution OP.
_Oblivion_ 12
No simpler way of doing it, that I know of.
Myo_fml 20
Wet wash cloth. It's easier if you use the corners of it too. It's safer than jamming a q tip in your ear.
Meettitan 14
Q-tips are actually infamous for jamming earwax further and further into a denser piece of wax in the hole that is your ear canal.
TheMathMajor 26
It's actually best to just leave the earwax there. It has a function. It protects the ear canal from infection and other things. So removing it isn't really "cleaning" your ears, the earwax does that for you.
Myo_fml 20
Yeah, but it can build up too much and affect hearing too. That and when a doctor looks in your ear, it's a bit embarrasing when you get his medical instrument covered in wax.
TheMathMajor 26
It usually only builds up if you produce too I much wax, like if you are sick, and if you are using a Q-tip, you can pack the earwax in and reduce your hearing, too. And the doctor shouldn't care, they throw away the tips of the thing they use to look in your ear.
Myo_fml 20
It's not that they care, it just still embarrases me. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

You must have awful coworkers that wouldn't tell you
jrgr 6
I would feel awkward telling a coworker that they have a whitehead. Lol
calilovesneb 12
#6 My thoughts exactly. I'm not quite sure how one would go about bringing that up, especially if they aren't too close/comfortable with OP.
anencephalic 14
So, simply because it's an awkward subject to talk about you secretly mock it instead?
ElmoSaysSquishy 28
I'm wondering why the coworkers were looking inside OP's ear.

mhopper 13

Having one in your nose hurts even more.

22- as a cat, I can indeed imagine it would be quite painful for you.
emeraldisle 30
28 - just because my profile picture is of my cat doesn't mean I'm pretending to be one like other people on this site.

I thought popping whiteheads was a no no??

Hugo? I would have named it something simple like Bob.
dressedskeleton 10
Because "Hugo" is too complicated..?
ShyAnn29 15
No, because Bob is a cool name!
greenie213 23
If anything, Hugo is too simple! Lavernius. Now that's a good zit name!
FilleNoir 21
17- For a pimple yes.
Ajwc101 24
That sucks. Maybe clean your ears more?
Slender_Man 6
Why? It's your pores that produce pimples. Cleaning your skin won't do shit.

Couldn't you feel it when you cleaned your ears? Or do you not clean them? So many questions.
