Today, while getting ready for a job interview, I sneezed while brushing my teeth, splattering toothpaste everywhere and ruining my brand new dress. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while brushing my teeth before a date, I sneezed so hard that toothpaste flew all over my clean shirt. I was already running late, so I panicked and tried to wipe it off with water. It left huge wet spots. I showed up looking like I had just lost a fight with a giant toothbrush. FML
Today, I went to my first job interview in months. Just minutes in, a sudden huge, uncontrollable sneeze overcame me. A wad of snot flew out onto my shirt, which I didn't even notice until the visibly disgusted interviewer pointed it out. FML
Today, I sneezed while brushing my teeth and ended up with toothpaste in my eye. I haven't been able to see clearly for two hours. FML
Today, I rushed to a job interview, but my cat rubbed against me, covering my suit in fur. I grabbed a lint roller, tripped over the cat, and knocked out a front tooth. I showed up sweaty, disheveled, and missing a tooth. I didn’t get the job. FML
Today, I drove to a job interview. I had to sneeze, but because I was driving on the highway, I didn't let go of the wheel to cover my mouth. I didn't know the sneeze was a "productive" one until I was sitting in the interview, looked down at my new blouse, and saw the giant lugie sitting there. FML
Today, I parked in the parking lot at work feeling like I had to sneeze. As I was walking in, the sneeze finally came. Apparently, my nose was bleeding so when I sneezed, blood got all over the floor and my brand new work clothes. FML
Today, the dentist sneezed in my mouth. FML
Today, I went to an interview for a job I really wanted and am qualified for. I've been looking for months. This job was perfect; close to home and great pay. Needless to say I spent quite a while preparing. Everything was going great until I had to sneeze, which forced out a loud, long fart. FML
Today, I rushed out of the bathroom with toothpaste smeared all over my chin and cheek. I was so anxious about going on a date that I didn’t realize this until said date pointed it out halfway through dinner. FML
Today, while at work, a sneeze snuck up on me. Ever sneeze so violently your fake tooth shoots into the cubicle across from you? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How did you not feel the sneeze coming on and spit out the toothpaste?

You mean you haven't had sudden sneezes hit you? I've sneezed whilst eating soup before, that was fun...

If you can get to it in time you can wet a cloth and get out the toothpaste (in my experience) but this is why I leave a 30 minute leeway when I have important events because I know I can be a mess and there are few worse experiences than forgetting to brush your teeth and hair before close up encounters with people.

Why were you wearing the dress to the dentist in the first place?
alanamarieg 18
idk where you got going to the dentist from

She didn't visit the dentist, she brushed her teeth on her own. I've heard that's what most people do.

lmao skipped the first line or what?
redstone7693 29
try your best to clean it. if not just put something else on? good luck OP.

that's why I brush my teeth before I get dressed.
Zarcissa 34
That's what I thought too. Why get dressed before you're ready to head out?
WhatHappenedToIt 22
Me too. I do all the messy stuff first, hair, teeth, make up and then I get dressed or I put on a zip up hoodie if I don't have time to spare.

Me too. Changing is basically the last thing I do. But I could see how op could get the routine mixed up a bit if she was in a huge rush. Best to always change last op!

Dang OP. That's rough. I feel your pain. I bought a new pair of black pants and someone kicked a puddle of bleach at my leg. Now they're orange and black.
RoboDuck 4
Good thing orange is the new black. ..I'll see myself out
coried91 28
I'm wondering why you had a puddle of bleach on the floor. That and why the **** would someone kick said puddle at you?

Maybe someone had washed their shop's floor with bleach and threw the dirty/bleach-y water on the pavement.

I always brush my teeth while while showering. Just saying.
VeganDarkLight 31
I'd be way too afraid to get shampoo in my mouth.
jqmalang 17
I wouldn't shampoo while brushing my teeth. I brush my teeth then shampoo.
VeganDarkLight 31
That makes sense^^ Was just the first thing that came to my mind when I read your comment.

Actually, I would highly recommend using the faucet. The world is going through a bit of a fresh water shortage and you're wasting gallons by brushing in the shower, so please try and make the switch to the faucet. And remember to turn off the water when not directly in use :) (I don't mean to be rude, I'm just really big on water conservation)

That sucks, so FYL, but why brush your teeth with your interview clothes on, that's kinda begging Murphy's Law to grace you with his presence, so in a way YDI, kinda torn on this one, kinda tough lol
Stillo 25
Haha, this sounds like something I could have done myself :0 hope the interview went good nonetheless, OP :D
finalyearsofhate 22
It will wash out. It sucks that you had to get changed, but don't trash the dress over a little toothpaste. Always brush then get dressed.
