Today, I was in the shower 'grooming' myself for my second anniversary with my boyfriend. Halfway through the hot water ran out. I now have the choice of going with the low 'half-fro' or risking hypothermia. My boyfriend thinks hypothermia would be the better option. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend turned down a shower with me because he didn't want to get his hair wet. FML
Today, due to plumbing issues, I had to choose between a goosebump-inducing cold or skin-blistering hot shower. This is the 7th day in a row. My husband says it shouldn't be more than another week before he "gets it figured out". FML
Today, I flushed the toilet while my boyfriend was showering. He responded by throwing a huge fit, saying how if he “gets a cold” from being “forced” to shower in cold water, I’m gonna “have to stay home and take care of him until he’s better.” FML
Today, my boyfriend pointed out that the water bill is getting kind of high. I suggested that we shower together to save water. He said he'd rather deal with the high water bill. FML
Today, my flatmate took his hour plus long shower while we both tried to get ready for work. I had a choice to wet myself or pee in a cooking pot. I chose the pot. FML
Today, the heating in my house broke down. I called my boyfriend and asked if I could stay at his place until I could get it fixed. He said no, and told me my overgrown leg hair would keep me warm. FML
Today, I passed out in the shower with my boyfriend. He just left me there. FML
Today, the water cut out while I was showering, covered in soap and shampoo. I had to rinse with freezing cold drinking water from the fridge. As soon as I'd dried off, the water supply got restored. FML
Today, I turned the shower on the hottest setting so it would warm up quickly. I started to sing and dance around the bathroom. I got too carried away and pelvic thrusted the water, which I hadn't turned back down. FML
Today, I had a planned 12-hour power cut for maintenance work, which I'd forgot all about. In need of a shower before work, I spent 45 minutes boiling pots of water on the stove to take a lukewarm, 6-inch deep bath, before realizing my water heater runs on natural gas and was working fine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

maybe wait a few minutes for the water to heat up, or tell him to deal with it.

I have rarely seen so many who knew so little about so much. 1) You CAN get hypothermia if you stay in cold water long enough. How cold? 95.0 degrees Fahrenheit. How soon? I don't know; depends how cold is the water. 2) You CAN get hyperthermia if you stay in hot water long enough. How hot? 108.0 degrees (measured in the brain) Fahrenheit. It is commonly called a fever. It is why hot tubs come with warnings about staying too long in them. Congratulations! Now you are not as ******* ignorant as when you started reading and shooting your mouth off.

Yes, but it's a shower, not only is she not immersed in it, but she doesn't actually have to stay in the stream of water. Also, it isn't winter, the water isn't going to be that cold. Most importantly, if she has already started the job, she's going to be in there 5 minutes TOPS, in room temperature water, that is NOT going to give her hypothermia. Yes, it is theoretically possible to get hypothermia from a cold shower. If it's the middle of winter in a cold snowy place, not practically summer in Australia. You would also, unless you're extremely skinny, have to stay in that cold shower for a damn good period of time before you actually started to get sick, and by that stage your self preservation would probably have kicked in and you'd probably get out. Common sense wins out over science this time :) Edit: 95F is 35C.... Thats pretty damn warm... considering beach temperature is rarely above 22C where I live and we can stay in that water for HOURS without getting anything worse than a bad sunburn... I think you might be mistaken...

Ummm... you know you don't have to be showering to shave, right? It's actually a lot easier and you get a much closer shave if you do so without the shower running and then just rinse off afterward. Use conditioner or lotion before you start shaving too and you'll get fewer in-grown hairs.

To all those bitching about looking like a 5 year old... its your mind that takes your there >.> I can't say I've ever looked at my clean shaven bits and thought "oh, I look like a child". Regardless of how it looks, having a groomed (doesn't necessarily have to be clean shaven) ****** is SO much cleaner. Hair retains odours and moisture and all sorts of nasty things. You'd pretty much have to shampoo down there to ensure it's entirely clean and then that would destroy the natural PH balance of your ****** causing you to get all sorts of things.. like thrush for example. Get a pair of scissors or a beard trimmer and just trim the bushes back a little so that you're not sending him in to a dirty smelly jungle. If not for him, do it for yourself.

"Hair retains odours and moisture and all sorts of nasty things." -- Then ******* wash! Hair does not make a person unhygienic nor is it dirty. Regular soap and water (or even just water for the really picky) is all you need to stay clean. If you want to shampoo it, you can, but don't touch your inner lips.

Hey some people like a hairy beaver ^ but shampooing would be good to keep odor out. I don't want that junk smelling like salmon and onions.

Everybody, I'm pretty sure this FML is about her BF being a jerk, not that she couldn't finish "grooming".
