Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML
Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML
Today, as I showered, I sneezed, hit my face on the wall, got shampoo in my eyes, slipped on a bar of soap, bashed my head on the wall as I fell, grabbed at the walls to stop me from falling and happened to turn off the cold water, scorching me. FML
Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, while I was taking a long relaxing shower, the shower head decided to fly off and hit me in the face. The dentist couldn't stop laughing. FML
Today, while reading in the bath, I accidentally switched the shower on. Not wanting my book to get soaked, I threw it out of the tub. When I got out of the tub later, I found it had landed squarely in the toilet. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth and shaving in the shower. My favorite song came on, and I got mixed up. My tongue and mouth are cut badly now. FML
Today, I fell in the shower and knocked myself out. When I came to I turned off the water and called my mom. She seemed more worried about the amount of water I "wasted" than she was about me. FML
Today, while in the shower, I heard my phone buzz. Expecting an important text, I leaned out to check it. I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and ended up stuck in the most awkward position possible with one leg in the shower and the other out. My roommate had to rescue me. FML
Today, after dealing with tons of drama and working a 14 hour shift, I took a shower. When I stepped out, a weak spot in the floor gave way. While falling through the floor I grabbed the toilet tank lid, which fell into the tank and broke it. Now my leg hurts and the bathroom's flooded. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why wouldn't you just move out of the spray instead of trying to run out of the shower?

lucky... my water gets cold when someone flushes the toilet... Anyway, wouldn't it have been easier for you to just turn off the water or just move away from it?

You can get burned by hot air, I'm pretty sure you can get burned by hot water. :] And to the people who say "why couldn't you just turn off the hot water" a person's first natural reaction is to get away from hot water, not rush toward it. If someone's shower is too small to dodge the spray, or the spray is too wide, the easier solution is to get out of the shower till the spray is cool enough to be tolerable. FYL for living with assholes who flush while you're in the shower.

To all the people saying "Just step away from the water then"... How do you know the OP doesn't have one of those stupid tiny cubicles where there isn't any room to move away? My Dad's shower is so small there isn't room to take a single step in any direction except out the door.

Then turn off the water...it isn't that hard to do, and it's certainly better than busting a tooth in a spastic effort to jump out of the shower.

Do you know what a "reflex" is? You learn about it in science class.

everyone says you shoulda do this or that. bahh and ouch about the tooth

and the reson it gets hot is because when you flush it uses up a lot of cold water, therefore diverting some of the cold water from the shower to the John. less cold water means more pure hot. HT WATER
