Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML
Today, I used my hair straightener to attempt to straighten my eyelashes and burned my eyelid. I don't know what's sadder, that fact I thought it would be fun, or that I was stupid enough to think I wouldn't hurt myself. FML
Today, I burned my tongue. With a flat iron. FML
Today, I was reading a magazine while straightening my hair. I got really into this one article until suddenly a huge clump of hair fell on it. I looked up and realized I had burned through the layer of hair I was straightening, leaving me with one layer at ear length and the rest at bra length. FML
Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML
Today, after spending a week detangling my hair (It took a week because my hands have nerve issues) because it felt like my scalp was glued to my scalp from not being taken care of, I cut it all off. My hair got tangled in the device twice and eventually revealed a burn on my scalp. FML
Today, I was straightening my hair when I heard this crunching, sizzling sound. Taking the flat iron away, I realized that I had just fused a spider to my hair with the heat. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML
Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML

How much attention does it require to hold something and slowly pull down?

#57 yeah because a bad straightening will ruin your life... all you have to do is tell the stylist what you want. she can take care of it from there. its not rocket science.

i understand where you're coming from. I was having my hair straightened one day and the hairdresser was yakking away on the phone and I was certain she was gonna burn me but I didn't say anything... And she burned my forehead and my ear >.> I definitely wouldn't have tried to do it myself. I just would've asked her to stop until she could give her attention to me. Sucks about your ear :(

See, I can understand getting frustrated if a stylist isn't doing your hair the way you asked, or if they're being careless, especially if you've mentioned it several times and they haven't done anything about it. A good stylist will make sure you're comfortable and will work with what you want. But when you GRAB something out of their hand, and make a snooty comment like, "I'll do it myself!", then you definitely deserved to get your ear burned off.

I'm more curious how you have more than one layer of skin... I mean, fat folds or something on the ear would be pretty weird... unless you mean you burned through to the dermis :-P

If you have a problem with her buy your own straighter and do it at home! I barely even use a mirror while straightening my hair. I wander around (as far as the cord will allow) and talk to people and I don't think I have ever burned myself.

#62 and #63 -- if the hairdresser left the iron on one part of the hair too long and burned it, or did it wrong and made a crease, or did burn her skin somewhere... Then yes, it could. If expecting the person I'm paying for service to actually pay attention to the job they are doing makes me a bitch, then fine, I'll accept the label. It's my money and my hair.

Future post by OP: I kept telling my boyfriend to be better in bed and finally I just pulled his dick out of me and masturbated. My nail sliced my clit off. FML
