Today, while showering, I broke the cap off the shampoo. Not my shampoo, my roommate's. The $60 shampoo I swore I wouldn't touch. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, while showering, I finished off the shampoo bottle. I decided to see if I could shoot it into the trash can over the shower curtain. When I heard the successful "thunk", I got so excited I slipped and cracked my head open. FML
Today, I decided to take a well-deserved shower. When I let my hair down, twenty six cents fell onto the floor. I have no idea how they got there. FML
Today, someone, and I still can't figure out who, switched my shampoo with mayonnaise. FML
Whip it
Today, I tried to take a slow-motion video of myself flipping my hair like in a shampoo commercial. Instead, I hit my head against the shower door so hard that my shelf of cosmetics collapsed and landed in my toilet. FML
Today, I found out the crappy shampoo I've been borrowing from my girlfriend is actually "feminine wash." FML
Today, only after I almost knocked myself out cold with the shampoo bottle, did I finally get some out. FML
Morning pick-me-up
Today, upon waking up, I took a sip on what I thought was a cup of water on my nightstand. I quickly discovered it was my roommate's cup of used mouthwash which she was too lazy to throw out the night before. FML
You little git
Today, my nine year-old stepson overheard me telling my husband that I was almost out of my favorite shampoo, and since it was discontinued, I couldn't buy any more. He got in the shower and happily emptied the bottles down the drain. FML
Little devil
Today, I decided to treat myself to a relaxing bubble bath. Mid-soak, I heard a loud crash and realized my cat had knocked over a shelf, sending shampoo bottles and bath salts tumbling into the water. Now I'm stuck cleaning up a soapy mess instead of enjoying my spa time. FML
Today, I fractured a bone in my foot by dropping a shampoo bottle on it. FML

I'm assuming that's what happened...otherwise he/she really sucks at opening a bottle.

No one should buy $60 shampoo! I guess unless it was for something special or a sort of condition...
Mpii 11
But it's everyones decidion what they want to do with their money and also I don't think op intentionally used their shampoo. It was probably an accident aswell.

It‘s not only a broken promise. Where I come from this is called stealing.
vikky538 29
And shampoo bottle too
redrain567 16
I'm guessing OP probably knocked the bottle over instead of purposely using it.
tantanpanda 26
This is why when I'm dorming, I take my shower products back to my room.

Promises aren't the only thing OP is breaking
tipsy2013 24
Your roommate deserves it for spending $60 on shampoo.

Why is this down voted it's actually sensible
RyRoz 19
So basically if my friends bought something expensive, I have the right to break it and think they deserved it?
ImmortalSyn 17
16- it got down voted because even if it sounds like a waste of money (like I personally wouldn't buy something like that) but it was the roommates money and they have the right to buy whatever they want. Op shouldn't have been messing with the roommates stuff to begin with.

Ummm... has no one in this comment section heard of allergies? My mum has to buy this ridiculously expensive deodorant cause she gets horrible, painful rashes from normal stuff and has a medical problem that causes excessive sweating so showering like twice a day or something isn't gonna help either. Y'all need to shut the **** up with your bullshit "Her fault for spending $60 on shampoo". Not every expensive thing someone has is a senseless purchase, and sometimes it's necessary for them.
Unenunciable 14
Exactly! My father has reoccuring seborrheic dermatitis on his scalp because of his super-sensitive skin and needs to use an expensive shampoo for like 40$ or something. A friend of mine has chronic extreme dandruff and red patches on her scalp because of her allergies, and the only thing that helps is a shampoo for 80$, so y'all should reconsider your healthy scalp privilege. Not everyone gets to go through life using 2$ shampoo and staying healthy, they have to live with consequences we never have to deal with.

Well sometimes people can have something wrong where they need special shampoo, my sister for example has psoriasis and needs a certain type so that her head doesn't get bad.

34 - Why would OP use his ROOMATE'S medical shampoo?
FalloutScrolls 25
#3 Your "logic" makes my brain thingy hurt.
bapbap_fml 15
So because somebody can afford nicer things than you that means it's okay to use or break it..?
PANDORUM89 21
also another idea here. Maybe she works in the hair industry? If having good hair is your job then spending $60 on a good shampoo makes sense.
freya1998 23
commenters - although good point about the medical shampoo, why would OP use a special shampoo for an illness/allery she most likely doesnt have? that doesnt make any sense.
purple_bunnies 20
Has nobody on here ever knocked every bottle in the shower off the ledges before? It can cause some damage
Estrangement 25
So much ******* hostility in these comments. I spent about $35 on my shampoo and $35 on my conditioner. (Headbanging is just so much better with softer and better feeling hair). Now, I would be pissed if someone I told specifically not to used my shampoo. However, a broken cap is nothing to get upset about. Shit, even the caps on my shampoo have broken. As for spending that much money on shampoo? Why not? Great hair is something great to have. (There is absolutely no way I can put that and NOT have it sound gay ot feminine. No I am not gay or feminine.) People really need to stop making assumptions. We only have one life, and its quite ephemeral. It really isn't worth it to waste time being upset about a cap being broken.

**** it its just shampoo maybe your roommate should keep their shit in their room. And you shouldn't be touching other people's shit aha.
Nilorak 24
Why should the roomate have to keep the shampoo in his room?
harmtouch16 11
If I ever lived with someone that stole from me I would kick their ass out sooo quick, not start hoarding my stuff in my room. That's ridiculous.
alex_622 22
You just HAD to touch it, didn't you?
soveryunoriginal 23
Yeah, maybe you should learn how to not touch other people's belongings. YDI
jayleensmama 14
Who said they touched it on purpose? Their elbow could have bumped it causing it to fall over and the cap breaking.
soveryunoriginal 23
Well I'm sure if that were the case this wouldn't be an FML, now would it? But who knows, I could be wrong, since OP didn't really specify.
HarryWholock87 17
No need to be a ****. I knock my shampoo bottles by accident all the time in the shower.
DeltaDragonxx 20
41 it still would be an fml. She most likely would've stated that in said fml, so i doubt that that is how it happened though.
itsme82 18
Why not keep your hands to yourself? I won't lie... The look of panicked desperation on your face was a hilarious thought in my head.
ThePandoricaOpen 18
Why are most of you assuming OP touched it on purpose? They could have just as easily bumped it. And OP, I'm sure your roommate just doesn't want you using any of it, as getting pissed at someone for breaking the cap is just ridiculous.
TabooSushi 24
Not necessarily. I've broken many a shampoo/body wash cap merely by bumping into it and having it fall to the shower floor at just the right angle to shatter the flip cap part.
Lalala579121 28
I'm sure then the FML would either not exist or it would be more about how the roommate reacted.
Setareh23 34
I think most people are assuming OP touched it on purpose because of the way they worded the FML. It doesn't make much sense for OP to specify that they promised not to touch/use the shampoo, unless they went and did just that. Otherwise the only problem would be the price, because OP could easily explain to their roommate that they merely knocked it over by accident. That being said, while I agree with people that it's likely OP was touching it, it is still just speculation so we never know.
tormcn 26
To be fair.. you were asked not to use it. Karma.
