Today, I was eating lunch, and accidentally got ketchup on the sofa, so I hastily doused it with stain remover. The ketchup is now no longer there; however there is a larger stain in its place. I stained the sofa with stain remover. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm using mold and mildew stain remover on my mattress, all because I threw up on it drunk, and was to lazy to clean it up when it happened. FML
Today, I dyed my hair. It was all going well, until I forgot I had a head full of product and scratched an itch. I didn't realise my mistake until later, and now have to replace my six-month old sofa because it has a huge stain that alternates from purple to bleach. FML
Today, despite trying to lose weight for months and making progress, I went out to lunch with coworkers and ended up eating a huge burger and fries. When I got back to the office, I noticed that I'd spilled ketchup all over my shirt. Now I not only feel guilty about the food I ate but I also look like a slob. FML
Today, my sister and I got into a fight. I came home to find everything in my room covered in ketchup. FML
Today, I went on a date. I went to the bathroom for five minutes and returned to find my date had not only left, but poured ketchup all over our food to ruin it. FML
Today, while I was trying to put my high fluoride toothpaste on my toothbrush, I miscalculated the pressure and ended up squirting a massive glob all over the bathroom cabinet and a rug that was on the floor. My stepmom says if we can't get the bleach stain out of the brown rug, I'm going to have to replace it. FML
Today, I remembered my mom got her carpet cleaned and to be careful while she was at work. To be nice, I vacuumed the whole house. Feeling proud of myself, I got a drink and went upstairs. I tripped and spilled red Kool-Aid all over the floor. FML
Today, while correcting essays, I spilled ketchup on a student's paper. I managed to successfully turn it into a happy smiley face but when proudly looking at the result, noticed it was right next to the big "F" that I had graded it. FML
Today, I spilled vanilla yogurt on my pants while eating breakfast, but I forgot to clean it up. It left a very conspicuous white stain on my pants, that was there the entire day. I only noticed it when I looked in the mirror after getting home. FML
Today, I had to clean my house to hide the evidence of the party I threw last night. I attempted to clean the puke stain on my carpet while still drunk. I didn't realize until this morning that the All Purpose cleaner I used was actually All Purpose Adhesive. The evidence is now glued to my carpet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ironic FMLS are the funniest in my opinion. no offense, OP.

Stain removal (or really anything that is used on a fabric, for whatever reason), usually has it listed in the directions to TEST it in an inconspicuos (I'm sure I butchered that) for exactly that reason. YDI, OP for not following directions.

Oh, the irony....

ooh snap! try to keep a pillow over it and blame it on someone else...

Came here to say exactly this.

It's like the painting of Whistlers Mother in that Mr. Bean movie!

bahah! I love that movie!

Indeed. Such irony this is....

@35 - actually it would! As long as the new stain covers the entire sofa, it's no longer a stain. It's just the sofa's new colour then. :)

dump his ass

Oh... I was looking where my comment went. It was meant in reply to comment #2, I guess either I or the app messed up in placing it correctly. Sorry guys!

Op look on the bright side - now all you have to do is stain the rest of the couch

Been there done that.....take a damp cloth and gently wipe the edges of the stain, hopefully that will work!

That's not right. I think op should now spill some ketchup over the stain from the stain remover and then when the couch is all ketchupy again, pour appropriate amount of stain remover this time and it should work. Beleive me, It's fool proof.

Just use duct tape. Duct tape fixes anything. And if it can't, well, you're in pretty deep.
GoingCommando93 14
Fool proof you say? That's coming from someone who spelt believe as beleive?

Resolve. It resolves every stain.

What he should do is either put more ketchup on or more stain remover
ReesieBanana21 12
35-Great point, but since ketchup was da porblem why not choice a different topping thing? Such as relish or mustard? Hhmmm?

This wouldn't have happened on Billy May's watch. *removes hat*

Oh, I got it! Put stain remover on your hot dog. It won't remove the stain on the couch, but at least you won't have to deal with it anymore.

add more stain remover to remove the stain remover?
justindrew14 29
That takes ******* skill to do.

First!

If all else fails just flip the cushion, no one will ever know.
GothicAngel17 24
But what if it's on the arm :O
ICastillo 25
Hmm if its on the arm then OP is shit out of luck haha
theneatoburrito 8
That's basically my philosophy in life. If you can't fix it, hide it. :)
iloveyou2129 6
put a small hand towel over the arm

Or what if it's one of those cushions that don't have the same material on the other side? Then it's even more obvious! Haha

KiddNYC1O 22
Highly likely!
GoingCommando93 14
Nope, the remover changed the couch from its intended color. That's what my understanding of the FML is, at least.

Thanks, captain obvious.

Great point, but again relish or mustard!!! ;D

Oh, the irony of life! You wouldn't happen to have laxatives that make you constipated aswell, would you? Or toothpaste that makes your teeth yellow? If you keep it up, that's where you'll be heading.

I hope the stain doesn't look white

How about the only person not wearing a seat-belt surviving a car crash? Yeah.... depressing and truthful huh?
Pentium_4 27
Yeah, and how the drunk driver always lives but not the person they hit...

I read this FML "I was eating ketchup and accidentally got lunch on the couch." *giggles like a little school girl*
ICastillo 25
MrSassypants are you high?
MrSassypants 34
No. *giggles* Maybe. *holds back laughter* YES! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
hecallsmedarlin 7
12 - either that or could be just a complete idiot?
pokefan813 16
What's so idiotic about misreading something? Everyone does that sometimes.
hecallsmedarlin 7
Uh, I was talking about the fact where he said "giggles like a school girl" & I'm pretty sure that is why the guy above my comment asked if he was high, not because he misread it.
MrSassypants 34
You hear that guys? Giggling like a little girl makes you an idiot. I must be the must idiotic idiot to have ever been an idiot then.

Its ok Mrsassy i understand you.
