Today, I went to buy some spray paint for a project. I've never used a spray can before, so I decided to try it on paper provided. Unfortunately I didn't hold the can the right way and ended up with black, permanent, paint all over my face in the middle of a store. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out the can of spray paint I got at Walmart yesterday has no spray nozzle, rendering it useless. I'm working on a project that needs to be done by the weekend, so I get to go wait in a huge line and risk being trampled to death tonight just to exchange one damn spray paint can. FML
Today, I found out the hard way that you shouldn't try to open a can of paint with a screwdriver. The lid flew off, and my kitchen floor now looks like an abstract art painting, which I could probably call, "Various blue splodges on wood canvas." FML
Today, I was trying to change the batteries of my automatic room freshener. As I held it to my face to figure out where the batteries went, it started spraying on my face. FML
Today, I was painting the garage door. After 3 hours, I finally finished the job. As I was walking back inside, accidentally pressed the button that opens and closes the garage door. Not only did the paint job get messed up as it went up, the paint also dripped onto my parents' brand new car. FML
Today, my teenage son tried to huff a can of spray paint. FML
Today, while spray painting a rocking horse for my kids I left the can outside in the sun. When I picked it up it was hot to the touch and I dropped it. It exploded on impact and now I am more blue than the rocking horse. FML
Today, while I was doing my hair and makeup, I somehow managed to spray myself in the right eye with hairspray, and in the left eye with makeup setting spray. I left the house with two very bloodshot eyes. FML
Today, someone switched my hairspray with bug spray when I didn't notice. I used it. FML
Today, I accidentally used wood stain instead of hairspray. Surprisingly, it doesn't come out that easily. FML
Today, I was painting cabinets for the children's area in my church. While painting, I dropped my brush and got black paint on a white part. I tried to wipe it off. Now there's a very visible smudge that looks like a penis. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

wow. wtf. seriously. How hard is it to use a spray can. It's the easiest shit in the world. GZ m9 though you've learned the secret to the best art in the world.

Yeah seriously? I mean every deodorant can in the world has some form of spray, even whipped cream uses a spray top. Why would you just assume it's the right direction?

@White667 Keep in mind that the OP is from France ... asking them if they've used antiperspirant is useless.

Have you ever gotten spray paint on yourself though? I got green on my feet once and it didn't come off for weeks, no matter how many showers I took or how much I was at the beach in the water.
catriona_cd 0
yes i have. it all ways comes off. just have to know what to use :|

It comes off but it takes forever...

Not if you use paint remover? Hell, I'd suppose that even nail varnish or make-up remover would also work.

On your face? Dude that shit's toxic. Might aswell throw acid over your face

And while your at it, put a spike through your eye socket, because really, that's the same thing as accidentally spraying yourself with paint. EDIT: ok this was supposed to be a reply to the acid comment.

Well I like the whole "I didn't hold it the right way". No. You held it BACKWARD. That's more than just "not the right way"

Hey don't be mean. Some people don't realize the hole is supposed to go away from them. Or that the point this way sign actually means something.

Reading is fundamental. Next time read the instructions if you don't know how to use something. YDI

fail mang/ read properly, OP said it was in the middle of the store. and even if it had instructions it would probably have only said that it was highly flammable! gosh you loser, get your facts right!

I agree with #8.. Best way to avoid this issue would be to RTFM.
IStoleTheCookies 16
#30 if there was no instructions OP should've asked a store assistant or something. But I am pretty surprised at how someone can not manage to hold a spray can the right way, it's pretty simple. Unless OP has never used deodorant or perfumes/aftershave, I don't see how it can be that difficult. Just my opinion though.
