Today, in biology class, I kept seeing a fly or a mosquito buzzing past my face and I kept trying to swat at it… only to realize that it was a ceiling sprinkler that was about 10 feet away. I have no depth perception. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was taking a piss at the urinal when a fly started buzzing around my head. It started getting in my face, so I tried to swat it away. After about 10 seconds of intense swatting, I looked down to find I had pissed all over my shoes and down the front of my trousers. FML
Today, I put up one of those hanging fly catchers in my room due to the unsettling amount of flies in the house. I remarked how stupid flies were to land on them. Within an hour, I got up and walked straight into it. FML
Today, a small fly flew straight up into my nose. I spent 10 minutes trying to blow/scratch/pick it out to no avail. I can still feel it moving. FML
Today, I was taking a piss at a urinal when a fly started harassing me. I got so annoyed, I tried to swat it. Didn't go too well. I ended up losing control of my stream, soaking the guy beside me. He busted my face in. FML
Today, while I was relaxing outside drinking a beer after a long day, a moth decided to fly right into my ear canal. I instinctively threw my hand up to swat it out. With the same hand holding the beer. I soaked the side of my face and down my ear. At least I got the bug out. FML
Today, I woke up to a huge, disgusting bug next to my bed. As I tried to squish it, it suddenly flew off at high speed. Now I'm lying in bed, awake and terrified because I can hear it buzzing around but can't see it anywhere. FML
Today, a fly landed on my ear. The suddenly loud buzzing noise scared me so badly that out of instinct, I punched the side of my head so hard that I actually made myself really dizzy. The worst part? I didn't kill the fly. Jackass fly: 1, Dumbass me: 0. FML
Today, I was on the bus during rush hour. A fly started buzzing around my head, and I swatted at it, at the exact moment the woman beside me decided to get out of her seat and put her face straight in the path of my hand. FML
Today, while squishing a stink bug, it sprayed directly in my eye. FML
Today, I woke up by inhaling a fly up my nose, and feeling it twitching and slowly dying inside my nasal cavity. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Lack of depth perception blows, I feel your pain.

The problem here is that the sprinkler kept buzzing past your face, more than your depth perception. When something like that happens, you should tell someone or ignore it well.

YDI for being a liar. This was posted YEARS ago when FML first started!

I know how you feel. It can get quite embarrassing. I used to duck away from open cupboards and windows only to notice later that they are several meters away and I was in no danger of running into them. I also raised my hands to protect my head so it was a rather visible reaction to something that didn't pose any threat. It took my quite some time to not react like that anymore. At the same time my legs and arms were usually covered with bruises from running into tables, shelves, corners, chairs, ... that I thought were far away. Like walking along a corridor and turning a few centimetres too early, just enough to bump my shoulder at the door frame. I didn't manage to get rid of that part of the behaviour. I just don't notice it anymore. So I'm still covered in bruises, but I somehow seem to immediately forget when I run into something. If people later ask me where I got a certain huge bruise or scratch from I can't tell them because I can't remember anything happening that would have caused them. Probably better that way because some of them look like they were painful.
