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

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

putting your contacts in plain water causes them to dry out; you need to keep them in special solution for them to keep their flexibility this FML totally isn't plausible, haha

Stupid Ur fault for drinking

I call b.s. This is a straight from the urban legend library--- and while it COULD happen IF the friend had the same prescription and has the same issues I do with dry contacts at times...But I doubt it. IF the OP did do it: YDI for not getting a fresh cup. Have some common sense man

YDI. When will people start paying attention to what they eat and drink?

To all the people that say 'Nobody would just toss them in a glass' you clearly have never worn contacts, or been in a situation that requires you to be somewhere where you don't have a contact case. Those things stick to your eye and dry out like crazy, then they start hurting. So yeah, people do stick them in glasses sometimes, to get away from that.

Agree with #37 and #63. I was going to call BS on this but you beat me to it.

i'm pretty sure that the best friend prob filled the glass w/ contact solution, which the OP mistook for water. i've done that a lot of times when i forgot my case or didn't have one.

#65 It looks that *you* have never worn contacts. Do you fully realize that contact lenses are worn directly on the eye? So that the eyes are exposed to possible bacteria and microorganisms over hours and hours? The contamination of the water differs from country to country, region to region, but it isn't worth the risk in any case. Putting contact lenses in water is as stupid as not fastening the seatbelt: It may work, it may even work in most cases, but *if* something happens these silly fools will be crying like babies. But anyway, the good thing is that in this case the person who makes this mistake is the only one who suffers the consequences. It is different with vaccination, where ignorant people risk the lifes of their own offspring as well as those of other children, pregnants, weakened persons etc. If there is the possibility that you have to sleep a night through with contact lenses, simply buy the more expensive variants. Health requires care, you know?
