Today, I found out that my wife gave me head lice on purpose so I would have to cut off the ponytail that I've been growing since '99. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I thought about going to visit an old girlfriend of mine with hopes of getting a little head. Unfortunately, I didn't know it would be head lice I'd get. FML
Today, I found out my best friend has a massive head lice infestation. It wasn't until after I'd used her hairbrush to brush my hair that I figured it out. FML
Today, I discovered that I have caught head lice from my son. Unfortunately, they are living in my chest hair. FML
Today, my wife is angry with me because after she'd convinced me to grow out my hair, it exposed my receding hairline. I shaved my head to the same appearance as when she married me, so I could feel more comfortable with my own body. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted to take a break. At least she gave me a parting gift. Lice. FML
Today, after finally spending the night with my longtime crush, it's as if I can still feel her fingers caressing my hair. But wait, no, that's just the head lice she gave me. FML
Today, I’ve been growing dreads for two years after I lost my hair to chemo. After visiting my boyfriend’s family, we all contracted lice from the kids. Even though I did the shampoo and treatment, my locks are too coiled to effectively comb out all the nits. I have to shave my head again. FML
Today, for the first time in my life, I have lice. The dog we rescued infested our house. No amount of showering has made me feel clean, and my bald husband just doesn't understand why I'm so bothered. FML
Today, 2 hours before a 13-hour flight, I found out I had head lice. I'm a 24-year-old woman. FML
Today, my wife told me that she was leaving me for someone with more hair. FML

I do not understand why there are so many YDIs. I don't see what's wrong with a man with a ponytail, although that's beside the point. It's your personal choice whether or not you are going to have a ponytail, and whether or not everyone else agrees with it, nothing should ever give anyone the right to abuse their spouse like that. She should respect your choices, especially when it comes to something as trivial as your hair style, and deliberately giving you a parasite in order to get you to do what she wants is nothing less than abuse.

I don't understand why you had to get it cut off. You can treat lice, you know...

I call bullshit. 1st. How do you deliberately give someone head lice. 2nd. You do not have to cut your hair to be rid of lice. If you actually did have lice and you cut your hair, you did it yourself for failing to visit a pharmacy.

Agreed. I love men with medium to long hair - which is why I am happy my boyfriend is growing his out some. Long hair is attractive when done right.

I'm pretty sure you can just use a special shampoo. I don't think girls have to cut their hair when they get lice...

YDI because your wife probably has asked you like a million times to cut it off! it was probably only because you never cut it that she had to resort to drastic measures!!!

So he should wax her snatch while she's sleeping? OP: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

#138, you insinuate that she ultimately HAD to get her way, by whatever means. You do realize that we are not talking about HER head, right?

That's ****** up. Even if you didn't look good to other people. For her to purposely give you lice to cut off your hair...that's ****** up.

People suck. Shaved heads are ugly. Go you for attempting to have nice long hair! FYL for having a bitch for a wife.

It's nice to know there around 13000 crazy people on FML. OP could have the worst hairstyle in the world; it doesn't matter. Why the hell would anyone deserve head lice? F your life, divorce your wife.
