Today, I found out that a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will erase the paint right off your wall. 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 had to clean my walls with those Mr Clean Magic Sponges because we were having visitors. I got bored and started drawing penises with it because they would leave wet marks. There is nothing magic about how slow they dry when your visitors come an hour early. They saw all ten of them. FML
Freeze peach
Today, my kids decided to draw on the walls with permanent marker, and now my house looks like a modern art exhibit. FML
Gonna cost ya
Today, I was cleaning my apartment because I'm moving. I was being really thorough so I could get as much of the damage deposit back as possible. I noticed I still had one of those 3M plastic hooks on the wall, and when I went to carefully take it off, a large chunk of the wall came with it. FML
Today, I painted an area I had carefully sanded, cleaned, and taped off. I pulled a fan out of the closet to help dry it faster. I turned the fan on, and a million dust particles flew off onto the wet paint. FML
Steady on
Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML
Today, I had to tell my daughter that just because markers say "washable", it doesn't mean that you can draw all over our newly-painted walls. She's 15. FML
Burn!
Today, I was trying to remove a temporary tattoo my friend put on my cheek. When warm water and soap didn't work, I tried something else. Just so you know, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do not, in fact, work by magic. Tell that to the massive chemical burn covering half my face. FML
Remodeling
Today, I finished painting my living room. I had to leave the house in a rush. When I got home, I found smears of paint all around and the carpet crusted with paint that had dried. My cat had rubbed up against the walls and tracked it around. FML
DIY trick
Today, my boyfriend told my roommate about a trick he had used by filling nail holes with toothpaste when he moved out. When I came home with putty to fill the holes, there were blue spots all over the walls. She had filled them with blue gel toothpaste. Now I get to repaint, too. FML
DIY FML
Today, my dad told me it would be fine to use the mounting tape he'd bought to place paintings up in my newly painted room. I did, but after deciding I wanted to move a painting and pulling it off the wall, the wall came with it. Back to square one. FML

It will also remove some stains from carpet. (Not even kidding. I got stains over a year old to come almost completely out of the cream coloured carpet in brother's old house!)

Scruffy the scrubber.... Don't u ever visit The Home Depot? The kinda paint u probably had was cheap maybe it's a sign to repaint with a primer paint.

And that is exactly why the package specifically says to test a small spot in an inconspicuous place. YDI for not reading the box! I hope you don't do the same with body products like Nair to see how your skin reacts...

yeah, it definitely will... if you use cheap paint. Think about buying something better next time if you know you'll be scrubbing it.

Try going to a hot tub distributed. They have chemicals that work.

Well at least when you have company over for Thanksgiving, it will be a nice conversation starter. :)
