Today, I found out the can of spray paint I got at Walmart yesterday has no spray nozzle, rendering it useless. I'm working on a project that needs to be done by the weekend, so I get to go wait in a huge line and risk being trampled to death tonight just to exchange one damn spray paint can. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to buy some spray paint for a project. I've never used a spray can before, so I decided to try it on paper provided. Unfortunately I didn't hold the can the right way and ended up with black, permanent, paint all over my face in the middle of a store. FML
Today, my teenage son tried to huff a can of spray paint. FML
Today, someone switched my hairspray with bug spray when I didn't notice. I used it. FML
Today, being so desperate for money, I accepted a job in which I get shot at with paintballs for six hours. FML
Today, I found a deodorant spray underneath the counter of the snack place I work in, so gave it a go to see what it smelled like. It's currently the peak season, and so I had quite a few clients in line in front of me, but it seems they'll now have to wait a couple of days for the restaurant to have all the remnants of the CS gas spray cleaned up. FML
Today, I finished a drawing that I spent over 14 hours working on for my mom for Mother's Day. I took it outside to seal it with fixative. I took of the clear lid, shook the can, then sprayed red spray paint all over my art. FML
Today, while spray painting a rocking horse for my kids I left the can outside in the sun. When I picked it up it was hot to the touch and I dropped it. It exploded on impact and now I am more blue than the rocking horse. FML
Today, I was painting the garage door. After 3 hours, I finally finished the job. As I was walking back inside, accidentally pressed the button that opens and closes the garage door. Not only did the paint job get messed up as it went up, the paint also dripped onto my parents' brand new car. FML
Today, it took me five hours to paint my deck, only to have it ruined by the neighbor's cat running all over the wet paint. FML
Today, my husband has been painting our house all weekend and plans to finish the job after work today. I decided to surprise him by completing the job myself. Painting the last window frame, I dropped the open tin of white paint, right onto our car roof. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dude... Most spray paint cans don't come with a nozzle, you buy them separate

Yeah...No. EVERY can of spray paint comes with its own nozzle, at least in the US.

Or u could take the nozzle of a different paint can and use it with the one that doesn't have one.. And just switch it between the two..As far as I know they are able to be taken off the can

You are the worlds biggest sucker if you have been buying the spray can and nozzle separately.

Actually... Nicer quality spray paints that are used for graffiti don't come with nozzles as you want different spray patterns and effects. However, I am willing to bet someone just took the nozzle off of OP's can because there wasn't one on his.

You're clearly not thinking of the most efficient way to do this, OP.

Hey relax, how do you think the sales employees that are being forced to work on Black Friday feel? Just borrow some from a kind neighbor or something!

oh boo hoo for them!

You should just huff another household chemical today and exchange your defective inhaler, oops, paint can, on Saturday, as no one here believes you have an "art project" due the weekend after Thanksgiving. Nice try.

I have a big ass report in my forensics class in Monday. Big projects happen on long Holliday weekends believe it or not.

#15, #22, it's OK if you need to use this as an excuse to smoke your weed, snort your coke, drink your hooch or whatever. It's all good . . .

I would go to a convenience store that has aerosol cans which you can remove the nozzle and put it on the paint can. What's a couple of dollars on cheap body spray or insect spray just to do your important work?

Please let the color of the paint be black. It would be so delightful that Black Friday would have a unique meaning just for you.

Just put on another one

Good luck. You will need it.
