Today, I tried to get a piece of glass out of my big toe. After an hour of poking and prodding, I finally got it out only for it to fall on the floor where I couldn't find it. Not five minutes later, I stepped on it again. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, while cleaning a carpet in my house, something in it sliced my foot. I couldn't find what it was, so I went to clean the wound. 10 minutes later, I sliced my foot again on the same thing. I still can't figure out what it was. FML

Today, as I got up from the couch, my computer, which was next to me, fell on to my pinky toe. It fell just so that the edge of it cut my toe open. I cursed, and hobbled toward the bathroom to get a bandage. As I'm going into the bathroom, I stub said toe on the door jamb. FML

Today, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML

Today, I stepped on a piece of glass and sliced my right foot open. Hobbling to get my first aid kit, I tripped and stepped on a pair of heels, and sliced my left foot open. FML

Today, I was walking in my apartment when I felt something stab my foot. Thinking it was a piece of glass, I looked down. It was one of my roommate's toenail clippings. FML

Today, I was wearing flip flops whilst putting out the trash, and was careful not to step near the broken glass surrounding the trash cans. My mother ran up to me hysterically warning me about the glass, which startled me and caused me to step on a shard, slicing my foot open. FML

Today, I hit my toe against a table. Out of frustration, I kicked the table and broke my little toe. FML

Unfortunate

Today, I was eating a bag of chips when one of the pieces broke off into a sharp point and when I chewed it, it stabbed into my gums. When I got up to wash the blood out of my mouth, I hit my big toe on my desk corner. FML

Today, I was on autopilot, walking out of the bathroom, and separated my pinky toe from the rest of my toes over the door frame. I dropped to the ground in pain, and my toe and half my foot still hurts hours later. FML

Clearly, anyone with a shard of foresight would've been sharp enough to sweep the mess up, or at least to have put on footwear.

Next time, might I suggest sweeping the floor if you lose something sharp like that so that doesn't happen again.

All of these solutions to the problem have people offered. I offer you a prevention, don't break glass...

hope you are alright . however, next time that happens. take note of the area it falls, then go get a broom and dust pan and sweep the little asshole up.

Wouldn't it of been helpful to put on some shoes around broken glass

Might I suggest shoes?

It makes me laugh how everyone is all "That's when you vacuum it up or get some shoes." Yes, you must walk to get those things unless they are right there with you, and you could still get glass in your foot. Plus I never wear shoes in my house unless I'm leaving or I've just come in.

OP stated not 5 minutes later... Which implies it wasn't immediately following dropping the shard again but a few minutes later. Plenty of time to avoid the area the glass could have been and find shoes, broom and/or a vacuum.

Whenever I want to make absolutely sure I get all the broke glass fragments, I turn off the lights and shine a flashlight on the floor. Works every time.
