Today, I was helping my friend put up a wooden fence at his new house. I was holding the sections of fence up while he nailed them in with an air powered nail gun. The gun malfunctioned and fired twice putting the second nail through my hand and into the wood. We had to pry the nail out. FML

Today I had a narrow escape with a nailgun that nailed my workboot to the floor but luckily missed my foot. After I calmed down and changed boots I returned to the nailgun, started working again and barely 30 seconds later I managed to nail my thumb to a piece of wood. Man, I'm bad at my job. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Today, our 9 year-old son managed to shoot himself in the gut with my nail gun. According to my wife, this is completely my fault, because I ONLY kept it in my locked garage, ONLY secured in its box, ONLY completely disconnected from the power, ONLY on the highest shelf near the roof. FML

Today, while trying to pull a nail out of some wood with a crowbar in my theatre class, my girlfriend, who was holding down the wood with her foot, thought it would be funny to move her foot and make me lose my balance. Instead, the crowbar flew up and struck me in the nuts. FML

Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML

Today, I was at my friends' farm and we decided that we wanted to go to their old treehouse. When we got down there, it turned out my friend Cat had forgotten her shoes. Being a gentleman, I lent her my sandals. I then climbed the treehouse, fell out, and got a nail through my foot. FML

Good deeds never go unpunished. But now you're Jesus :D That must have hurt a lot, though. :(

That's the original version of what is now "I agree, your life sucks." YLIF stands for Your Life is ******.

This is definitely the fault of you and your friend. A nail gun is like any other gun. You don't point it at anything you're not willing to shoot. Obviously, your hand was too close and IN FRONT of the gun. Idiots.

Baw, suck it up. Had similar happen. Gotta roll with it. At least now you have a pretty sweet scar. AND a fun story. Oh, and now your friend owes you a beer. =D

Hard way to learn to hold behind the work and to stay clear of the gun eh? You can never trust wood to catch the nail, I shot thru a 2x4 and nailed 3 fingers together once. Lesson Learned.
