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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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.

this must be a ref to that legless freak in the news?

Not cool to call him a legless freak, man. Come on....

Legless freak? The man had both his legs amputated when he was a toddler due to a congenital problem. If he's a legless freak, then you're a soulless asshole. Piss off.

Yes, because everyone owns a gun..

Also, every persons first reaction is to shoot someone, or something in this case.

Not too worry 15, I see what you where going for there! I was thinking the same, rather scream that shoot 4 times for ''thinking'' there might be a burglar! O yes, another thing, #48 and #55, you guys should probally try and watch what's happening in the rest of the world!

15 - though it would have been your second amendment right to do so ;)

You must have a pretty hideous reflection.

Hey hey hey. I have a small nightlight in my bathroom just so that if I do get up in the middle of the night, I don't have to turn on any lights and wake myself up. It's quite useful, actually.

When its 3 a.m. and you are half asleep, that is when mirrors troll best.

I wonder if you watched a horror movie before you slept. ALSO: don't you keep at least one light on in the house at night to keep from pitch blackness? Or is that just my house. Hmm...

i don't know about you, but i think pitch blackness is good when everybody wants to sleep. keeping lights on. during the night seems like a waste of energy to me.

“oh you're whimpy! I would never be af-WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? Oh it was the tactile response on my phone..."-said everybody right now

Sometimes I feel like thinking is illegal these days.

Next time, warn yourself about you.
