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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 went to the hair salon to cut 6 inches off my hair. When I got there, I decided to get my upper lip waxed for the first time. When my boyfriend came to pick me up for our date, I asked if he noticed anything different about me, the first thing he said was, "I see you got rid of your mustache." FML
Today, I got in the shower, washed my hair and shaved because I wanted to look great for a big date. I got out, brushed and dried my hair and spent an hour putting it up in the perfect hairstyle. Running late, I quickly put on my new dress, looked down and realized i had only shaved one leg. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I've had a crush on for a while. I shaved my legs and armpits and wore a short dress. It wasn't until I got to the meeting that I noticed I only shaved one of my legs. FML
Today, I rushed out of the bathroom with toothpaste smeared all over my chin and cheek. I was so anxious about going on a date that I didn’t realize this until said date pointed it out halfway through dinner. FML
Today, I wanted to look really good for my date. I was a little self-conscious, so I decided to use Nair on my upper lip just in case I had a female mustache. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm allergic to Nair. Now I DO have a mustache. A rash mustache. FML
Today, while on a date with the guy of my dreams, I cut my tongue so bad it bled for an hour. I managed to cut it on the plastic spoon from my coffee. FML
Today, my fiancé asked me to do some manscaping. I got a little overzealous and now I look like a 12-year-old boy with razor burn. FML
Today, I prepared for my first date in two years. I shaved my legs, did my hair and nails, painted my face, found the perfect outfit, then waited for hours for a man who never came. FML
Today, I waxed my upper lip hair. My boyfriend later told me that he missed my mustache rubbing onto his. FML

What? Since when did religion determine amount of body hair? I think you mean South-East Asian or Middle Eastern, and yes, women of those ethnicities often do have more noticeable facial hair. I generally bleach, but if your skin is partucularly dark this might not be an option, plus the dark hairs grow back after about a month anyway. I'm thinking of getting it lasered away for good.

And you must be an ignorant, pea-brained white trash and I can tell your mouth is full of shit. How dense of you to deduce OP is an Indian / Muslim just because she's hairy.

the majority of muslims do life in or near the middle east. it was a dumb, broad, and biased comment, but it does make some sense.

That's your own fault for shaving, next time wax it.

You should never ever shave your upper hair lip, likes others have said it goes all stubly and horrible. And while yes, shaving it won't make it come back thicker, if you pluck or wax it'll take LONGER to come back since you're removing the hair from the follicle, as opposed to just from the surface. Also, if you wax or pluck for long enough you'll weaken the follicles, meaning they take much longer to come back. And yeah, bleaching just gives you blonde facial hair which can look weird if you have darker skin.

Actually, yes true. Do you shave your legs and see what comes back? Common sense, man. Seriously.

Dude, #23, how do you have large areas of your legs? What the **** are you talking about?

Whoah, people still believe that old wives' tale? Shaving does NOT cause hair to grow back thicker. What happens is that hairs taper, and so shaving cuts the hairs at the thickest part, and they continue to grow through with that thickness at their end, instead of immediately tapering. Any method of epilation (removing the hair from the root) including plucking and waxing does not cause this initial 'thickening', as the new hairs that grow through taper.
