Today, I popped a zit and I went to put my acne medicine on it. It's in a clear bottle with a blue cap, just like the nearby nailpolish remover. I grabbed the wrong one. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while I was trying to take off my eye make up, I accidentally used nail polish remover. FML
Today, I was trying to apply some toothpaste on my pimple to help dry it out. My mum came from behind and hugged me, making me accidentally apply minty toothpaste into my right eye instead. FML
Today, I broke my nose trying to pop a zit. FML
Today, I popped a zit that had formed around an ingrown hair "down there". It popped with so much force, the pus hit me in the forehead. Still can't get the hair out. FML
Today, my girlfriend helped me apply liquid bandaid over an open wound. Unfortunately, she grabbed the liquid wart remover instead. FML
Today, as I was doing my make-up, I needed a Q-tip to fix a mistake. I took one out the box and put it in my mouth to get it wet. Too bad someone had used it before to clean their ears. FML
Today, I woke up to find that not only did the toothpaste I put on my pimple make it more noticable, but it made it worse. FML
Today, as I peeled a now soggy Band-Aid off my finger, I discovered that in the dim light of yesterday evening, I had, with great anxiety, wrapped it around the wrong finger. FML
Today, while I was waiting for an interview, I picked at a something I felt on my chin thinking that it was just some food. I had a good interview, then I got into my car and looked in the mirror, only to see that I had blood smeared all over my chin. Turns out I had picked a zit. No one told me. FML
Today, I got a hand cramp from popping zits on my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

ha there actually is a "correct" way to pop them; wrap two fingers in tissues and gently pressure til all the pus comes put, then put some astringent and neosporin on, to disinfect and prevent scarring. that is today's FML FunFact.

thats why you shouldn't pop zits. I see a debate coming up that it's a pimple and not a zit.

*you're, no need for the hyphen in "crater-y." Comma between "stained" and "crater-y," capitalize "and," *no, not "No," *on, *cut.

Wow okay. I hate commenting on these things, but you are such a ******* idiot that I had to say something. I don't even know how to express the things that I am thinking into words because I am so baffled by your ignorance. People like you need to be slaughtered and fed to starving children in third world countries. You disgust me. And rectum wanker doesn't even make since as an insult read a ******* dictionary.

94/104: Technically, your comment should start with "Wow, OK," or "Wow, OK." It should end with "insult; read a... " or "insult. Read a... ". Also, the part in the middle about expressing your thoughts as words could be much more clearly stated. Finally, a good writer would be sure to direct the entire insult to someone specific. Without a number or name reference, the person you're intending to insult won't even know he or she is being insulted. I'm guessing that's why you were called a hypocrite. For the record, I wouldn't have commented on this if you hadn't asked for an explanation. This isn't a particularly noteworthy example of "the pot calling the kettle black", IMO; there are certainly better examples of that in other comments.

64 is retarded. futbol and football are not two different things unless you are referring to American football, which the person was clearly not 133 you are the most hideous thing I possibly have ever seen

I get it now... I just realized that I was first
AliceStar 2
Well. Yes, I was having trouble expressing myself properly. I tried to explain that I couldn't exactly find a way to say what I wanted to get out. I don't think that I sounded anywhere as stupid as the guy who says you can die from putting fingernail polish on a pimple and going around calling people rectum wankers.
