Today, while giving my final speech, a bump that had been growing on my arm popped. Pus leaked through my white dress sleeve, and it smelled like death. Everyone noticed. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was giving a speech at my best friend’s wedding. Mid-speech, I felt something was off. I looked down and realized I had a huge stain on my trousers. Not just a small stain, but a whole wet patch from crotch to knee. I had to finish the speech with one hand covering it. I later sniffed it, it was only champagne, but still… FML
Today, I was doing a big presentation at work and got nervous. My white shirt showed massive sweat stains in the most unfortunate places, including my lower stomach, making it look like I had peed myself standing up. FML
Today, I walked down the aisle when a bug flew into my mouth. In a response, I threw up on my beautiful white wedding dress. I had to party and be in the pictures in someones spare pink dress for the rest of the day. FML
Today, I gave a toast at my friend's wedding. When I said, "Everybody raise your glasses," an industrial fan went off and blew my dress over my head. Now, people won't stop talking about how my "blue granny panties" didn't match my dress. FML
Today, I gave a presentation for my final on class. While I was giving the speech my shirt strap broke. I ended up flashing everyone including the teacher. At least I got an A. FML
Today, I was in music class and I was reaching for the pen I'd dropped, I tilted myself, gripping my left hand on the table, and the person beside me pulled my arm for some reason, and my face fell into their lap. Right on the crotch. It reeked of sweat. FML
Today, was my wedding day. Right before I walked down the aisle in my gorgeous white dress, the woman who did my makeup saw a blemish. She went to squirt concealer on her finger, but squirted the orange concealer all over my dress. FML
Today, while giving a presentation, I felt something tickle my nose, but I kept talking through it. Eventually, someone in the front row raised their hand and said, “You’ve got a little, uh… something.” It was a full-on rogue booger. Hanging. Wiggling. For 10 minutes. FML
Today, I gave a toast at my close friend's wedding. The bride's little cousin snuck up behind me and unzipped my dress. As I ended my speech with, "To a night we will never forget!", my dress fell all the way down. I was quick. People's phones were quicker. Well, they won't forget my undies. FML
Today, my professor called me out in the middle of a lecture to ask why I was bleeding. I then had to explain to him, in front of around one hundred of my fellow classmates, that my largest zit had burst. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe next time check with a doctor to get it removed beforehand or try popping it at home. :/

Sorry Op , that seems like the worst thing that could happen! Hopefully not everyone noticed what actually happened or you can blame something else

Sounds like it may be an abcess. I vote that you go get that checked out.

How big was it for it to have smelled so everyone could notice jeeze...

It doesn't take that large of an abscess to smell up a room. When we would lance one in the ER you could smell it a few rooms in either direction, and the smell is very putrid

If it was big and "mature" enough to smell like that you should have gone to a doctor. YDI that's so gross OP

There's nothing here to suggest that she didn't go to a doctor. My Dad had an abscess on his back and he went to the doctor about it at least 4 times over the course of a couple of years, and they always said the same thing "if it's not painful and it's not bothering you just leave it". Eventually after it got a bit bigger he mentioned it again and the doctor removed it, and he said the smell was awful. Although Abscesses are caused by bacterial infections, so the pus will smell no matter how 'mature' it is, so i really don't see how you've come to the conclusion that OP deserved for this to happen...

Um that seems like it would have been worth a visit to the doctor if you could notice that it was growing? but to late now I guess

What's with all the YDI's? Who all goes to a doctor for something that probably looked like a zit? Sheesh.

Some people do, but it's more than likely because they have a history with abscesses. It may look like a zit at first, but sadly it's not. I don't blame OP for not going though, she probably didn't realize what it was, which sucks majorly.
