Today, I reassured everyone at work that the mark on my lip was just a pimple, not a cold sore. It's actually neither. I, a 21-year-old young woman, slipped while shaving my moustache and sliced off part of my lip. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I have what is probably a cold sore on my upper lip. I also have a mustache, which keeps rubbing against it. Because of this, no matter what I do, it stings. The next few days are fixing to be very, very long and miserable. FML
Today, I was on my way to meet my partner's parents for the first time. Although I was in a rush, I managed to hop into the shower and shave. I now have a cut on my upper lip. I'm a woman. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a date. I spent extra time getting ready in the shower, making sure I was all shaved. I was shaving my upper lip to make sure I didn't have a mustache. I cut my lip really badly, leaving the most noticable razor cut on my face for my date. I'm a girl. 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 went to the emergency room for busting my lip open, I had to lie and tell them I slipped and fell. In reality I was singing with the soap bottle and slammed it into my lip. FML
Today, my boss berated me in front of 2 other coworkers about how unprofessional it was for me to show up to work with a clearly visible hickey. I had to explain to him that my "hickey" was actually a huge pimple that had bruised up after I popped it. FML
Today, I tried to bleach my upper lip hair. I now have a bright red mustache. FML
Today, I had so much skin peeling off my lips that it got caught in my fork as I was eating. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in my bathroom. As I looked in the mirror, I spotted a zit on my forehead. Keeping my toothbrush in my mouth, I quickly leaned in towards the mirror to pop the pimple, meanwhile lodging my toothbrush down my throat. I temporarily can't talk. FML
Today, I had a big craving for a popsicle so I went to a convenience store and bought one. On my first bite, my upper lip got stuck to it. I ripped it off and spent the next 10 minutes trying to stop the bleeding from the giant cut I'd put in my lip. It hurt too much to finish the popsicle. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Everyone has some degree of facial hair. Also, by shaving, you're exfoliating and creating a smooth surface for makeup if you wear it. I know several women who shave from time to time for that exact reason, including myself. No need to feel embarrassed, OP. You'll heal up soon.

And the winner of the creep award is... this guy right here. Your award is staying a mandatory minimum of fifty feet from all life forms. Next time someone tries to say that women being wary of guys on the internet are being "irrational" or "too sensitive," I'm showing them a screenshot of this.

Wax it next time, at least the hairs won't come out thicker.

Shaving doesn’t ACTUALLY cause your hair to grow back thicker. It just appears that way.

Waxing increases your risks of ingrown hairs and infections.

Try waxing/threading it off. It grows back slower coz you pulled it out from the root and not the skin surface and if you do it enough times, you may end up damaging the follicles enough to permanently reduce growth.

Where the hell do you work that anyone would give a crap?

Any industry with interaction with consumers or with a need for high sanitation.

There there, keep a stiff upper lip.

What would it have mattered to your fellow workers whether it was or was not a cold sore, otherwise known as HSV 1? Will you be kissing anyone on the mouth?
