Today, I woke up hungover and thirsty, I found a glass of water next to the sink, filled it up with more water, chugged it and went back to bed. I woke up an hour later to my best friend telling me she thought she lost her contacts. They were in a glass next to the sink. I ate her contacts. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I woke up and put my contacts in. It appears that I got drunk enough last night that instead of soaking my contacts in contact solution, I used mouthwash. FML
Today, after a big house party the night before, I woke up with a dry mouth and a pounding hangover. I took a swig from a cup I'd left on my bedside table the night before, thinking it was water. Nope; it was vodka. FML
Today, I woke up soaked in water. It seems at some point in the middle of the night, I woke up thirsty and opened the water bottle I keep on my nightstand. I managed to drink a little, but it seems I didn't manage to put the cap back on before losing consciousness again. FML
Today, upon waking up, I took a sip on what I thought was a cup of water on my nightstand. I quickly discovered it was my roommate's cup of used mouthwash which she was too lazy to throw out the night before. FML
Today, I woke up with a hangover and a pounding headache and tried to take an ibuprofen with a glass of water. I missed my mouth and threw the pill directly into my eye. FML
Today, I woke up so hungover that when I went to the bathroom and caught sight of myself in the mirror, I screamed, slipped backwards, and smashed my head against the rim of my bathtub. FML
Today, the alarm on my phone went off. I picked it up, hit snooze, and dropped it back on my desk without looking. I woke up an hour later to find that I had dropped it directly in a full glass of water. FML
Today, I woke up in the shower at my coworker's house, with my clothes on and soaking wet. Apparently, the night before I drank too much and punched my best friend. The sad part is, I passed out on the couch, but somehow ended up in the shower, facing the wrong way. FML
Today, I went to get a facial. I forgot my contact case so I put them into paper cup. My beautician thought it was leftover water from someone else, and threw my only pair of vision aid away. I scuttled home half blind. FML
Today, I woke up extremely hungover. I couldn't find my car keys so I went out to my car to see if I had locked them inside. I walked back to the door of my apartment barefoot and empty handed, only to find that I had locked myself out of the apartment. FML

I would never drink out of a glass that already was filled with water, especially after a night of drinking with no way to know what the glass contains other than water. Is it normal to even put contacts in a glass of water? I thought that you were only supposed to put them in their containers with the saline solution.

#37 all the way! That urban legend has been around since contact lenses became popular. I've worn contacts for about ten years now, and I would rather keep them in for over 72 hours than ever leave them in a glass of water. Ew.

I think it's plausible. He said 'cup of water' but as many FMLs do , he could have been referring to what looked like water. I carry contact solution around with me because sometimes I take my contacts out and clean them if they hurt. I do not, however, carry a case as my contacts are FocusDailies so they are only one a day. However, if I am at a friends house and I do not originaly plan to stay the night and have to go home in the morning, I look for a coup. This has happened to me countless amount of times. I place them in cups (or one cup even) filled with a few centimeters of saline solution, which happens to be clear just like water! Contacts won't typically move in the cup so i just make sure one is more left than the other and remember which is which. Notice he said he put more water in the cup? It's possible he didnt even taste the saline if there was only a little bit of the solution after he put more water in the cup.

No FML. not a big deal. Just a little plastic and saline solution. I'm sure you've had worse in your mouth.

have you never heard about getting your own drink. it is the rule at parties and it should be the rule at home too. you don't know if i sick person has been drinking out of that cup or if someones contact lenses are in it. Really. Common sense man.

That's ******* disgusting you prick. And I'm pretty sure it's, you "consumed" or "swallowed" her contacts, not "ate" them since there was no chewing involved. God.

I'm pretty sure you would have noticed that the solution didn't taste like water. And you can't keep contacts in water... well you can, but your eyes will feel like dry shit.
