Today, my boyfriend saw a YouTube video of a guy throwing boiling water into the cold air, with the water immediately turning to ice and vapor. He copied it, but only succeeded in dousing himself with boiling water, then making me drive his idiot self to the hospital. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend threw boiling water at me to get me off my phone. It worked, but now I'm burned. FML
Today, while relaxing in the kitchen drinking coffee, my dad suddenly rushed in, knocking me over and causing me to spill boiling hot coffee all over myself. Then, my dad thought it would be a good idea to grab the sprayer from the sink and douse me with cold water in order to "put me out." FML
Today, I drove my boyfriend to hospital because he felt extremely ill. His buddies had gotten their hands on a Taser, and he had the brilliant idea of being shot as part of a YouTube stunt video. Now I have an empty gas tank and have to clean up a puddle of vomit in my living room. FML
Today, I flushed the toilet while my boyfriend was showering. He responded by throwing a huge fit, saying how if he “gets a cold” from being “forced” to shower in cold water, I’m gonna “have to stay home and take care of him until he’s better.” FML
Today, after telling my best friend an idiot could make Kraft Dinner, I spilled boiling water all over my hands and forearms while attempting to strain the noodles. FML
Today, I tried to make breakfast. I had everything cooking on the stove when I reached to turn on the faucet, only to find out that the head of the faucet was up the sleeve of my robe. After drying off, I went to serve my boyfriend his plate, but when I returned, the stove had caught fire. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were having a shower together for the first time. He was trying impress me and did some sort of dance move, he slipped, and when he fell he kicked my leg out causing me to fall and hit my face on the faucet. FML
Today, while cooking, I managed to burn my finger. I quickly turned the tap on and ran my finger under cold water, but apparently someone had just used the hot tap, because boiling water flooded out onto my nicely scalded finger. FML
Today, I tried to put my friend's hand in lukewarm water while he was sleeping, to see if he'd pee himself. He woke up and punched me in the face. FML
Today, I was taking a shower, when my dad decided to turn off the water to the house, run upstairs, and throw a bucket of freezing cold sludge into the shower with me. He wouldn't turn the water back on for 2 hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Carton from carton and boomer tried this yesterday and doused himself in boiling water. Seems a lot of idiots have tried this in the past two days.

Well don't worry guys, don't rush too fast to the hospital. It's not like we have a shortage of idiots or anything
Welshite 40
I heard about 50 of these idiots around the US did the same thing and ended up scalding themselves enough to go to the hospital.

Don't they know they are supposed to throw the water away from themselves? It takes the smallest amount of common sense to know that.
tpm45 25
My brother did it and tried to get me to help...
JustinKirby 20
You're no better than they are -.- there's such thing as wind? Yes they can throw it in the direction the wind is blowing but there fingers will still get scalded.
cmac86 24
I did it at home but made sure to throw the water away from me. The rest of the water that didn't vaporize landed in a pool.

It was an ice attempt. Though if it's not that cold than I see why he failed snow badly.

Get out

I guess puns are always going to get thumbed up, regardless of how awful the execution is.

seems like you two got the cold shoulder

I think she did quite alright

That doesn't even rhyme with the pop culture reference!

#22 yours makes no sense!

This is why we have warning labels and warning messages...
Goldenchest 14
"Please do not boil this water and throw it on yourself in an attempt to copy a YouTube video"?
184886837272837 32
Anyone else think we should get rid of warning labels and just let natural selection take it's course?
Madrias 36
Yep, #30, I do agree. Warning labels only protect those on the edge of too stupid to live. The truly too-stupid-to-live tend to ignore 'em and do it anyway, and those of us with at least 3 brain cells to our name manage to know already that toasters are hot, electricity and water shouldn't mix, you don't pour hot coffee in your lap while driving, and that boiling water is not a toy.

The lady wasn't driving, and she wasn't even in the driver's seat. She was in her 80s, her grandson was PARKED, and the coffee spilled over her, causing third degree burns down to the BONE on her thighs and crotch. Furthermore, she initially contacted McDonald's to ask them to cover her medical bills (totaling close to $20 grand). They offered her $800. THAT is why she sued. The essence, 33, of what I'm saying, is that if you don't have a damned clue what you're talking about, feel free to shut the **** up. (This all being a response to 33's mention of the coffee lawsuit in his comment)
OptimusVader 23
#57, I think #33's mention of the lawsuit was meant to be funny. Not to get you on your high horse so you could rant unnecessarily about something that really doesn't even matter.
junkman6 22
Hey #57 you are absolutely right, that hot coffee was too hot.... And it's totally possible for an 8oz cup of water to boil skin and muscle and fat off to the bone..... That totally wasn't bullshit made up to win an American kangaroo court case. But we'll pretend that actually happened, so let's change the mcdonalds reference. Here's one warning label since mcdonalds got sued, eating this fatty shit will make you fat and clog your arteries. Is that "mo betta fo ya?"
amDes 11
#57 I don't see anywhere in #33's comment where it says they are referencing that lawsuit.... way to come to your own conclusion and look like an ass bud
Madrias 36
My mention of it was not from the McDonalds lawsuit, but from one of my friends who spilled coffee all over himself and the inside of his car cause he was trying to drive with a coffee mug in his hand and hit a speedbump.
UberNova 18
He isn't the only one, many idiots have been doing that....and here is me thinking the "Don't try at home" thing was useless.

My managers tried it and posted the video on Facebook. I don't how they manage to manage this place
SmokinGuns 13
Haha I heard about that on the news. Soo many failures

I feel your annoyance OP my boyfriend try's stupid shit too and it gets really old really fast.
184886837272837 32
It really does work though... I've done it before! It has to be extremely cold though and if the water isn't near boiling temperature or hotter it doesn't work because the individual molecules need to be far apart.
Jabberwockyy 13
I agree I have done it successfully also, you just have to be careful.
184886837272837 32
OP's boyfriend must've thrown it up instead of away from himself

Trying new things isn't always the smartest idea.
