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

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

Hmm, not quite. Nice try.

I don't undertand why EVERYONE at your work knows more about your whithead than you do. Don't you clean out your earwax? : /

Can only imagine how gross it looked. Pretty sure I would set fire to my ear if I found something like that...

Well that would be a bit of an over reaction... "I have a pimple, anyone have some lighter fluid?"
Harpy20 24
Hyperbole.

That reminds me of a Family Guy episode. When Chris had a mean zit?

YDI for being disgusting

Having a whitehead has nothing to do with personal hygiene. You can be the cleanest person in the world and still have zits because of how sensitive your skin is and how it reacts to foreign substances.

#42 The reason I said it's disgusting is because it obviously went unnoticed for a while in order for it to grow that big. If OP were cleaning his ears daily he would have noticed it.

Who the **** cleans their ears daily?? That's not healthy, Q-tips only push your earwax deeper into the ear canal and can cause infections or damage to the eardrum. So you are more discussing for cleaning your ears than just leaving the wax there. The wax is actually part of your immune system, it keeps bacteria from getting in.

I never put q-tips in my ear canal. I never said I did. You assumed. You need to learn how to read and while you're at it, read a book on hygiene so you can learn proper ear care. There's no need to put anything in your ear canal. I'd hate to see your ears.

Where did you learn this "proper ear care,"? Earwax is there to protect the ear canal and keep it clean, you aren't supposed to remove it. What else could you mean by cleaning out your ears? Even if you don't use a Q-tip, you risk pushing the wax back with anything you shove up there.

I mean wiping them out with a cloth. That should be done everyday to wipe out any soap or shampoo that got in there. I agree with you about not removing ear wax (unless your ear is plugged)
