Today, I got a bikini wax. They said it wouldn't hurt too badly, and that it would just sting. My friend heard me screaming from all the way down the hall in the waiting room. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while waxing my bikini line, my husband thought it would be funny to scare me which caused me to close my legs. I am now sitting in the sink with my best friend pouring hot water "down there" trying to remove the wax. FML
Today, my friend and I decided to get bikini waxes. Afterwards, the women who did the waxing told my friend it was $30 for her wax. Then, in front of the whole salon, the women points at me and says, "You! You so hairy- $35!". FML
Today, I woke up with a wax strip on my chest and my girlfriend sitting next to me on the bed laughing. She pulled the strip. I screamed. FML
Today, when getting my eyebrows waxed, the lady cursed "oh shit!" under her breath, right after waxing half of my brow off. FML
Today, I had to get bloodwork done. I'm deathly afraid of needles. The whole lobby heard me scream as soon as the nurse said 'hello'. FML
Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML
Today, I was getting my chest waxed. The woman dipped the stick into the wax and hit her elbow, making wax fall into my eyes. FML
Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML
Today, I tried shaving my bikini area for the first time. I ended up cutting myself several times. I now have impressive razor burn, and it's incredibly painful to even wear pants. FML
Today, I got my wisdom teeth taken out. The two male doctors told me they'd give me anesthesia, but when they did, I could still hear them. I heard them talking about my breasts and how flat they were for a 17 year old. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

They're right. It doesn't hurt "too badly" it hurts like a bitch.

How could you think that it wasn't gonna hurt? That's a really sensitive area of skin...

False. I had 4 of my bottom teeth pulled at once when I was in Kindergarten. Didn't feel a thing :)

I do my own Brazilians. They are not that bad. Either you got a bad waxer, or you're a baby. So many women blow it way out of proportion.

I did my own Brazilian wax once. I bled.

Agreed. I usually do it a week before my period which apparently is the worse time and it barely hurts... But I depends for everyone, i suppose: for example, my half legs hurt like hell!!

I agree, and she only had a bikini wax!! she was probably really hairy or originally a shaver to make the hairs extra stubborn!

36- To be fair, everyone has a different threshold for pain. Having a low tolerance naturally doesn't make her a "baby".
narrowords 18
I'm pretty sure the reason they're calling her a baby is BECAUSE she has such a low threshold for pain... And if she exposed herself to a little more, she might not scream like one.
unknown_user5566 27
And I'm pretty sure my point was that your pain tolerance isn't always something that can be improved. Everyone's different. I work with two students who have OI, which is a disorder where they break bones at random, doing normal things. One of them has broken over 100 bones at the age of 15. Despite the fact they experience the same pain repeatedly, they say it doesn't get any easier or less painful.
lies_ah 3
but waxing gets easier!!!!! as if breaking bones would get easier?!
unknown_user5566 27
132- Please refer back to the first sentence of my last post (128). All I'm saying is OP should not be considered a baby for something that could very well be out of her control. Repeated exposure to something, no matter what it is, does not guarantee a higher pain tolerence. Not trying to start a debate about bikini waxes, guys. Just stating my opinion. :)

I don't understand how women can pour hot wax on their sensitive areas, rip out their hair by the roots, pluck their eyebrows out with tweezers, and still be afraid of a bumblebee/bug/fly etc. Seriously?!
nerdsgetmehot 23
Um. Not all women are afraid of bugs. I squish at least half the spiders in this household.
Awsumuzzie 12
What does pain tolerance have to do with fear of insects?
bizarre_ftw 22
Might I mention women are designed to deal with pain, however the natural instinct to avoid creatures that could be poisonous and/or affect your health in a negative manner has less to do with pain and more to do with the possibilities aforementioned
bizarre_ftw 22
And on another note, maggots aren't going to kill or even hurt me, yet they still freak me the **** out, yet I'll kill a spider and punch out a fly (I have done this, twice, once unintentionally, the other time fully intentionally - KOed cold both times)
solosohigh 15
typically, women have a higher threshold of pain, probably because of childbirth. similar to the fact that typically, men are stronger. not trying to start a debate here! and personally, I think it's all worth it. you get used to it.
Plaasmaa 4
Actually, woman typically have a lower threshold of pain, except during childbirth during which their body is flooded with hormones and endorphins to reduce pain.

Obviously not all women are afraid of bugs...but I'd be willing to bet many who wax are. Most likely a majority.

What the hell do waxing and a phobia for insects have anything to do with the other?

Waxing doesn't hurt. I do it myself all the time - including in the bikini area.

It hurts some people more than others.
