Today, I accidentally threw a glass of iced tea in my own face, because the restaurant I'd been going to for over a decade switched from heavy glass mugs to identical light-as-a-feather plastic mugs. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was applying Icy Hot. I squeezed the bottle too hard making it squirt in my eye. I ran to the bathroom in agony, turned on the faucet, and slammed my face right into it. FML
Today, I was having my morning coffee while getting ready for work. I grabbed clothes off the floor to throw in the hamper. I accidentally threw my full coffee instead. FML
Today, I accidentally set my hair on fire while lighting a cigarette. I panicked and put it out by slapping myself in the face. FML
Today, my drinking problem became apparent when my daughter asked for a glass of juice, and I instinctively poured a large glass of scotch instead. FML
Today, I accidentally punched myself in the face while trying to take my bra off. FML
Today, I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle. While I was drinking alone in my basement. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Today, my wife, who has a drinking problem, looked me straight in the eye as she poured herself a "water" bottle to enjoy while at work. FML
Today, I thought it would be a good idea to sneak out of work early and pay a little visit to the pub. I ended up staggering home, drunkenly making myself a nacho cheese dorito milkshake with the blender, then promptly puked my guts out all over the kitchen table. FML
Today, I repaired a boiler for a wealthy guy in a big house. While there, I fixed a leaking tap for free. When I went to leave, the man slipped something into my shirt pocket and said, "Have a drink on me." When I got to my truck, I discovered that he'd given me a tea bag. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least it wasn't hot tea!

I could see myself doing that, it's not like you were warned the mugs were suddenly lighter. You probably weren't the only one OP!

This FML is even funnier when reading it with the other meaning of "patronized".

I feel like there is no one to blame here. and almost everyone has done something this stupid before.

*coughs into elbow* they were /identical/
Kiernan151 25
They may have been "identical" but plastic and glass usually feel different, so op should have been able to feel a difference between the two.
Fairyjoshy 13
Yeah, they felt the difference - when it was on the way up to their face. It was probably the first time they actually touched it, ya know :P

I've done something similarish. I was used to riding horses that were 16+ hh (big horses) and my friends horse was acting up so she asked me to fix her so I go to get on her horse which is 14.2 (borderline a pony) I place my foot in the stirrup and end up using my normal strength to haul myself up aaannnddd over until I'm sitting in the dirt on the other side.

Moments like those, and nobody randomly filming it... *sigh* I hope your butt recovered fine, though.

I can just see it. Sitting there, enjoying your meal when suddenly you just grab your iced tea and throw it on your face. To anybody else you would have looked insane. Haha
