Today, I went swimming. While I was walking along side of the pool, everyone was staring at me. I began to think that my diet was really working. It was only an hour later, in the changing rooms, that I noticed the string from my Tampax that was sticking out of my swimming costume. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I went swimming at a public pool. When I dove in, my speedos decided they’d had enough of me and slipped right off. I spent a minute underwater debating my life choices before realizing they’d floated to the shallow end, right next to a group of giggling kids. FML
Today, at the pool, I tried to impress the hot lifeguard by doing the perfect dive. Afterward, I realized my shorts were floating through the water. FML
Today, while at a pool party, I found out the reason I got my new, white bikini at such a bargain price; it goes completely transparent when wet. I only realized this after everyone was staring at me and whistling. FML
Today, I went to the pool. When I hit the water the top of my swimsuit came off so I tried to put it on underwater. The lifeguard thought I was drowning and pulled me out in front of everyone. Topless. FML
Today, I went to the pool with my new white bathers. I felt really good about myself because everyone was staring at me until this hot guy came up to me and said "Dude, your bathers are see-through. You need to shave!" FML
Today, I went to the beach. While I was swimming, I noticed a few really hot guys passing. Trying to be sexy, I slowly got out of the water, showing off my body. I showed a bit more than I expected when I realized my bikini bottom had fallen off. FML
Today, at my volleyball tournament I was extremely pumped to start playing so I went to take my sweats off and everybody began to stare at me then I looked down to come to realize I had no spandex on, just a thong. FML
Today, I went for a swim in the sea. It was early and I was the only one in the water. I swam out far, then my tummy rumbled big time. Next thing I knew, I'd shat my shorts. It went everywhere. I had to scoop the poop out with my hand and wash it off whilst swimming back to shore. I had to shower afterwards. FML
Today, my tampon string was hanging from my bathing suit. My boyfriend thought it was a thread hanging from my bikini bottom. He publicly pulled out my tampon. FML
Today, I was swimming my routine laps at the gym's pool and a man came in and swam in the adjacent lane. While swimming freestyle, I smelled a really nasty fart. Not a minute later, he hurriedly left. I didn't realize what he had done until I saw "floating particles" in the water. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

To all the morons that have no idea what a swimming costume is, it's the british term for 'swimsuit' or 'bathing suit' Y'know, those things you wear to go swimming in. Is it not obvious from my FML that they mean that? We don't complain when you guys say hobos, pants or 'fannypack'

Yea... I'm from America and I still think the fannypack thing is kind of unfortunate

agreed.

But isn't it kinda pretty easy to work out? I'm Australia and I use the term pretty often so... yeah. But swimming is swimming and costume is an outfit so swimming outfit basically is swimwear. Is it that hard to work out?

Omg that sux

I can't believe people would stare at you because of THAT. I mean, every girl has periods, why does it need to be so obviously pointed out, as if it were a bad thing?
tbonea1990 0
they use the term mainly in Australia and i saw her it was hilarious

#13 your period is about the WORST thing EVER. Got mine at 12 and i HATE it.

I got mine at 8, it's just part of being a female. And it's not likely to go away until you're around 55, so strap in and enjoy the ride.

I hated the ride so I used the emergency exit in the form of depo shots to get off the ride. Just because its part of being female doesn't make it suck any less :P
