Today, I walked into my near pitch-black bathroom and saw a person staring back at me. I woke my whole family up with my screams. The person was my reflection. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was on the toilet and jumped when I saw a face at the window. It was my own reflection. FML
Today, I was texting while walking up the stairs to my porch. When I looked up, I saw someone standing behind the porch door, and was so scared that I fell backwards down the stairs. Turns out, it was just my reflection. FML
Today, I was walking to the kitchen in the dark. Something caught my eye and I turned to see a man standing in the corner, clear as day. I jumped and closed my eyes for a split second. When I opened them, he was nowhere to be seen. I'm now terrified to live in my own home. FML
Today, I was washing up in a public bathroom, when I looked up for a second and saw a kid in the mirror staring back at me. I gasped, as I thought the place had been empty. He whispered, "It's time to die." I screamed and ran out, only to hear him burst out laughing behind me. FML
Today, I came home from work and went to open the door. I Iooked through the window and saw a man in my house. Terrified, I called the police. They came, searched the house, and found nothing missing. I went back inside and looked through the window and saw him again. It was my reflection. FML
Today, I finally felt motivated to do some exercise. As I got my weights out, I noticed out of the corner of my eye someone moving about outside my window. I got scared and dropped a weight on my foot. The person outside was my own reflection. FML
Today, I was using a public toilet stall when the lock gave way, and the door swung open halfway. I froze, and the person who was washing his hands at the sinks looked at me in the mirror and awkwardly said, “I see you.” I muttered, “I’m sorry,” as he walked out looking like he'd seen a ghost. FML
Today, I tried to prank my little brother by jumping out from behind a door to scare him. I ended up scaring myself when I caught a glimpse of my weirdly-lit reflection in a mirror mid-jump. FML
Today, while I was showering, a dark object in the shower kept startling me. After about the fourth time jumping, I realized it was my shadow that was scaring me. I am actually literally afraid of my own shadow. FML
Today, while walking into a hotel room, I passed by a full-sized mirror. My reflection scared me so badly that I punched the mirror, which then shattered and resulted in several cuts to my hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You don't understand how scary this is until it happens to you

The scariest thing was probably that the stranger shrieked back.

Asshole. Someone's been neglecting her tampon changeover rate.

#1 is right though. How much of a ****** do you have to be to scare yourself?
sugarshane007 20
19 - How much of an idiot do you have to be to realize that your comments have you striking out?
chickmagnet69420 2
At least I get laid like 3 times a day, can you say the same?
EpicSquishii 21
24- No one cares about your live-in cum dumpster's willingness to let you grunt little potential asshole children into her uterus, or how often she lets you do it.

I'd just abort them anyway, so I'm really living the dream
EpicSquishii 21
She'd abort them. YOU would brag that she's perpetually on her back because she can't do any better with her life. Because that's obviously what people boast about on the internet. You're like a failed attempt at an "overly-manly man" meme. Just the redneck, highschool dropout version.

Holy shit I knew women had a statistically lower IQ than men but this is just mind-blowing. How do you know what i'm telling you isn't just bs, this is the internet after all Or maybe i am a living prodigy, and i really am slammin' ****** 24/7
EpicSquishii 21
So the reference to a meme didn't alert you to the fact that I know you're a troll? That's kind of funny. Let's spell it out. "You're a really bad troll" Was that easier for you to grasp or should I write it out phonetically?

Ooooh, I see a cat fight developing. No please, ladies. Don't let me interrupt. *grabs popcorn*
EpicSquishii 21
Doc can I sit this one out? Todays "Act like an idiot online" quota has already been filled to overflowing. I can feel my brain cells committing suicide already.
TheDrifter 24
I'll take it up, I'm bored. Let's see, the fact that he's 14, hairy palmed and trying way too hard to sound "cool" in his trolling has been covered; can we move on to the last part of his name and point out that pot smoking has obviously killed off a large percentage of his essential brain cells?
EpicSquishii 21
We all got deleted lol
TheDrifter 24
Ignore that last, the thread rightfully got nuked.
EpicSquishii 21
we should start another inane and pointless thread and have it get deleted
EpicSquishii 21
Yay it worked!!!
SirCharles83 13
What happened to the cat fight? And the thread?
EpicSquishii 21
It never happened. Clean slate :)

If the room was pitch black she was most likely scared of the outline she saw and not the facial features..

Reading this kinda scared me, so I feel for OP

This has happened to me, but I froze like a deer in the headlights, I didn't scream.
EpicSquishii 21
44- What else would you freeze like, you silly deer?

This only happens to me after I watch a horror film, and the aftermath lasts about a week. It is ******* horrendous. Especially if you rear up to punch it, and it does the same. I learned muy thai the next day.

Could be worse, I was staying over at a Catholic dudes house and woke up his whole Catholic family with my scream of "************!"
hellbilly205 17
I've done this multiple times it is an absolute horrible thing to go through.
SammyS2012 21
Who is that girl I see? Staring straight, back at me?

I can't say this has ever happened to me, but I can say I probably would be scared shitless if it did.
hellbilly205 17
You dont want to go through this ever, i promise.

Just be grateful it wasn't Bloody Mary coming to get you!
GothickNihilist 15
Bloody Mary I killed your baby.

You've been watching too many scary movies.

At least it wasn't an actual burglar whom you thought was your reflection.
