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 was hiking down a steep hill, and I slipped. I instinctively grabbed the nearest object to me: a very prickly cactus. FML

It hurts when I pee
Today, I was outside, peeing on a cactus. Then all of a sudden my dog jumped on my back, knocking me into the cactus. FML

Shout the victory
Today, while climbing a mountain, I got to the top and then put both of my arms up in a victory kind of way only to trip on a rock and fall into a cactus plant. FML

Today, while hiking and wearing sandals, I stubbed my toe. This wouldn't have been so bad had it not been into a cactus with 3 inch thorns. FML

Today, I leaned back and bumped into one of my mom's plants in the window. The good thing was that I caught it before it fell and shattered. The bad thing was that my mom likes to keep cactii in the window. I can still feel thorns I haven't managed to pluck out yet. FML

Falling down
Today, I learned how it feels like when you fall off a second floor balcony with mom's flower pot, landing on your back. My mom got pissed because of her beloved flowers, and gave me a lecture while I rolled on the ground in pain. FML

Today, it's my 66th birthday. My parents gave me a Stinging Cactus. It's already stuck me 5 times. FML

Whoever slapped you with it must've been a real prick.

The cactus-thrower strikes again! What could his motives possibly be, and where will he strike next? Tune in next time on FML Official!

Yay! Someone else still remembers the other cactus-throwing post!

Who the hell would be dumb/cruel enough to assault someone with a cactus?

Well, not even a month ago there was another fml with someone who got hit with a cactus...so apparently it's a weapon of choice. Lol.

Why the hell else would someone even bother keeping a cactus? Come on, now.

#94, because some people like cacti...? My grandparents had a saguaro cactus for about 30 years (eventually they gave it away or it died or something) but I loved it because it was huge and.cool looking. So I'd definitely own another cactus. :)

I know your pain. I tripped and fell into a giant cactus when I was younger. I was pulling thorns out of my head for weeks.

They can be as fine as hair, so finding them can be difficult...I was in Boy Scouts and fell off a small cliff side into prickly pear cacti was stuck there for an hour waiting while they rigged a rescue harness to get me out. Nothing like digging needles out of your scrotum for a week

They can be very small and very fine. I would be just running my fingers through my hair and I'd find one weeks after it happened. It's certainly not anything that needs medical attention - all superficial.

Picking them out would almost be as bad

At least it wasn't a flaming potted cactus?
