Today, while reading in the bath, I accidentally switched the shower on. Not wanting my book to get soaked, I threw it out of the tub. When I got out of the tub later, I found it had landed squarely in the toilet. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I took a relaxing bath, but got the book I was reading slightly wet when getting out. I put it on top of the towel dryer after delicately shaking it. Five minutes later, I heard a splash; I went into the bathroom to find that my book had toppled into the toilet bowl. FML
Today, thanks to my habit of peeing in the shower, I accidentally peed in the bath. FML
Today, I realized I'd put on my shirt on inside out, so I went to the bathroom stalls to fix it. As I was taking it off, I accidentally dropped it in the toilet. FML
Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML
Today, I was changing my shirt in the bathroom when I dropped it. It fell on my foot, so I decided to flip it up with my foot instead of bending down to get it. I flipped it, and it landed in the toilet. Which somebody had not flushed. FML
Today, I was fiddling with a ring my aunt hand made me, accidentally slipping it off, and dropped it in the toilet. Like an idiot, I scrambled to get it out only for my bending over to activate the automatic flush. FML
Today, while in the shower, I heard my phone buzz. Expecting an important text, I leaned out to check it. I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and ended up stuck in the most awkward position possible with one leg in the shower and the other out. My roommate had to rescue me. FML
Today, I was checking my phone while using the toilet. In a distressing moment of my brain mixing up the signals to my hands, I dropped my phone into the bowl and pressed my thumb into the shitty paper to turn it off. FML
Today, after just having used the bathroom, my ring fell in the toilet. After stealthily removing it with a toothbrush, I went to go wash it in the sink. It then fell down the drain. FML
Today, as I stepped into the shower, I slipped and fell over the edge of the tub, pulling the shower curtain down with me. I called my roommate to help me up as I put on a towel over me. But before she could help me up, she grabbed her phone to take a picture. The picture became a mass text. FML

Well, it looks like your plan to keep your book dry went down the toilet. Literally.

Instead of just turning the shower off again...

Who reads in the tub anymore? On the plus side, at least it wasn't an e-book; your entirely library would have been ruined then rather than just one book. I am wondering how you managed to turn the shower on while sitting in the tub. You have to touch the tub spout (or something higher up) for that to happen. Still, FYL.

You deserved it for reading a book in the tub.

Hey guys, your totally not awkward OP here. Okay, so full story, I was reading a book (Jane Eyre, to be specific) and I was resting my feet on top of the faucet, and somehow, I managed to offset the shower, which was a little pully thing on top it. And my reaction of not wanting to get the book wet, I promptly chucked it out of the tub, where it landed in the toilet. Ironic. The worst part about it that it was a library book.

Well, look on the bright side: You can dry it off and send it back to the Library chute so they don't know you got it wet and don't see you turn in the wet book, or you can dry it off, pay for it, and now you have a copy of Jane Eyre. :D

Books and bathrooms never mix well

How do you just toss the book?! When I put a book down I make sure I set it down right, in a place it won't get damaged.

Just another reason to keep the lid closed. Not only does it look better down, it keeps waste particles from spraying out when you flush, and it stops items from falling in.

Why would you leave the lid up? So unsanitary. I'm afraid I don't buy this "pets can get a drink" excuse. In the UK, our pets have a bowl with water in it and they drink from that ;)

Ew, who leaves the seat up? Do you enjoy being showered in your own excrement each time you flush?? You do flush, right???

dude I don't think I've ever closed any the toilet lids in our house and that has never happened. Do you just have a really shallow toilet?
