Today, while undergoing the cumbersome task of screwing the tiny silver ball onto my lip piercing, I clumsily dropped it onto the counter and watched it bounce into the trash can, where it nestled snugly into a used maxi pad. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, in the process of leaning over the sink to close the drain so my diamond earrings wouldn't fall in as I put them on, I dropped my diamond earring down the drain. FML
Today, while working in a dark nightclub, I dropped a red charger. Retracing my steps, I found it, or so I thought until I picked up a used tampon. 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, I was changing my tampon in a public bathroom. As I was about to put the tampon into the sanitary bin, I dropped it and it rolled under the stall next to mine. It was occupied. 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, while I was trying to put on my deodorant, the whole stick popped out when I took the cap off, narrowly missing my face, into the toilet. FML
Today, I opened my new contact lenses for the first time in a month and accidentally dropped one, only to watch it disappear helplessly down the drain. Give a name to the situation. FML
Today, someone at work put their used, bloodied tampon applicator back in its wrapper, and into the free tampon bin for some sucker to grab. That sucker was me. FML
Today, I swallowed the piercing that I had bought for my tongue yesterday. FML
Today, I dropped some glass at my job while putting it on the shelf. A shard bounced off the floor and went up my nose. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Oh gosh. I guess you could try either wrapping them in toilet paper or getting a lid for your trashcan.

you should maybe not have a lip piercing or you should roll up and wrap up your used maxi pads. you deserved it.

Those things are so fiddly! I usually place a towel on the surface where I'm changing any of my piercings, it catches the ball and stops it from getting lost! Handy :)

Are you 2? Can't reach the sink? Wash it off duh.

just rinsing with water will not sterilize it. any jewelry going into any part of your skin needs to be sterile otherwise you could very well get an infection.

Actually, if the piercing is well heald it just has to be clean. water and soap would be fine for normal trash, the problem here is that it came into contact with blood which if it's not the OPs is essentially the same as sleeping with someone unprotected.

You all need to stop being pansies. If it's sterile, you'll be fine. It's just blood anyways (you know the same stuff that came out of your lip when you got it stabbed with a needle). Get over it it happens.

except that this blood didn't come from op's lip, and we don't even know if it was op's pad

Correct #101. If it was OPs pad, then there really isn't too much of a problem if they want to wash/boil it and use it again. However, if it's not theirs that's a different matter because coming into contact with foreign blood can be considered the equivalent of unprotected sex.

If it was your bathroom, you could have just picked it up and soaked it in alcohol or peroxide or something? I can understand not wanting to if it's a public bathroom though.

Does that liquid attract balls or something?
