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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

bullshit. when most people spray an aerosol can they lines up their finger with the spray button. getting paint on your finger, i can see. ive done that before myself, granted this was at 8 am right after i got up. no way is all the paint going to hit you in the face. also that spray diminishes pretty quick so unless you hold the can right up to your face to spray, you wouldnt have a big streak, just maybe a spot or 2

omg people! she doesn't deserve it! she said we was doing it for a project so she's probably just a young adult/teenager most teenagers that are girls have never really held a spray paint or whatever she was holding. sometimes you people have to read the fml first than write what you think is going to happen. geez.

So, it's perfectly acceptable to you that a person old enough to have a project that needs spray paint doesn't know how to at least intuitively use an AEROSOL CAN?! Are you KIDDING me?~

I'm a girl. The first time I used spray paint, I was in elementary school, and the worst thing that happened was that I ended up getting paint on the outdoor steps where I was working. If OP doesn't know how to use spray paint, she should just buy it and take it home/to school/wherever she needs it and ask someone to show her how to use it. Or, she could have read the instructions. Or looked at the nozzle. Sometimes, you just need to use a little common sense.

"Most teenagers that are girls have never really held a spray paint" ... Lol.

I'd agree with you, but a spray can is literally one of the easiest things to use! It's just point and spray! Even if OP didn't know that (somehow), then instead of trying it right away, OP should have checked the instructions!

I seriously wonder how you managed to learn using your computer so you could send it in. Because seriously, you have a negative IQ. YDI

Jesus, what a moron. And spray paint does come off. Use a scouring pad.

Even if you've never used one before, you've never seen one being used? On TV maybe? Bart vandalizing the school? Really??

isn't it obvious which way the can is pointing. usually the part where the paint comes out has a visible hole or is a totally different color.

Doesn't anyone take the 1-2 minutes it takes to read the directions on how to use products?

I don't know about the store you were at buying your spray paint, but where I work, we don't want people to test-spray in the store. Not that it stops them despite the fact we tape the lids on and put up signs. So I'm gonna have to say you deserve this one. I now wish the people who come to my job and mess around with a spray paint do this so I can laugh at them.
