Today, I mixed up my chapstick and cork grease. Now my clarinet smells like cherries, and my lips smell like a gym floor. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was talking to myself and got distracted when I was going to put chapstick on my lips. I took the cap off my deodorant and put it on my lips. FML
Today, I used a glue stick instead of my Carmex lip balm. FML
Today, I noticed that my sweat smelled like cat food. FML
Today, I woke up with really dry, chapped lips. Still in bed, without my glasses on, I sleepily reached down into my purse for some chapstick and applied it. Upon awakening later I realized I had mistaken a mini Sharpie permanent marker for chapstick. I have a job interview today. FML
Today, I was running late for work and grabbed what I thought was my deodorant. Turns out, it was my husband's foot spray. Now I'm at the office smelling like a combination of roses and athlete's foot. FML
Today, my lips were dry and chapped, so I asked if I could use some of my friend's chapstick. She didn't mind, so I quickly put some on. Only later did I notice that my lips were sparkly. Turns out it was glitter balm. Now everyone calls me "princess." FML
Today, I realized that I'd run out of deodorant. On top of that, I was late to work so I had to run, making me all sweaty and smelly. To cover it up, I used the air-freshener in the toilet at work. Everyone recognized the "Lemon Tree" scent and now all of my colleagues think I'm a cheap bastard. FML
Today, I was in a rush to get to work and forgot to put on deodorant. I didn't realize until my coworker told me I smelled like a gym sock. FML
Today, my dog head-butted me in the mouth so hard that my lip split open. Twenty minutes later, I unthinkingly sprayed perfume directly into the wound. FML
Today, I thought I was clever for doing my laundry while multitasking and making dinner. When I went to transfer my clothes from the washer to the dryer, I discovered that I'd accidentally washed a pack of gum that was in my pocket. The gum had melted into my favorite shirt, and I now have a sticky mess to deal with. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Should've said that it blows, because of the clarinet
jillrq 12
Shouldn't "That blows" be a more appropriate response?

Vandoren have an awesome Apple blossom cork grease, use that instead of one that smells like a gym floor?!

I've used chapstick as cork grease back in middle school band days, but never vice versa. I had an unflavored one in the clarinet case so I didn't get cherry reeds, and it was easy to grab the wrong one, but I would think you'd notice cork grease smell before it hit your lips...

Same here. I did it when I still played the clarinet

Just use your instrument, that could fix the problem.

Chapsticks are tiny, why would anyone try and unclog a toilet with it?

It could have been Ben Gay confused with hemmorhoid cream. That is a lose lose situation.
