Today, I had to buy a new boxcutter for work after our old one broke. It came in a box, the type which policy requires a boxcutter to open. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I cut myself on a band-aid box, while trying to get one out for another cut. FML
Today, I got a paper cut while opening my box of Band-Aids. FML
Today, I cut myself with child-proof scissors. FML
Today, I got an electric shaver hoping that it would reduce the risk of cutting myself than shaving with a manual one. However, I cut myself opening the plastic package with the shaver inside. FML
Today, the key broke inside my lock and I ended up needing bolt cutters. Cool. FML
Today, while I was at work in a machine shop, I cut myself really bad. Not with any of the sharp tools, drills, or metals I work with. Just the soap dispenser. FML
Today, I brought my lunch to work in the only box I had lying around my apartment - a small one from FedEx. When I went to the bathroom before lunch, I returned to my desk to find that one of my coworkers had mailed my lunch back to my apartment. FML
Today, while drilling holes in "No Smoking" signs for my job, I gave myself a minor cut that would appear to most as a papercut. I then had to fill out 3 double-sided pages of paperwork. FML
Today, my new mailbox key finally arrived. Not at the front door as I requested, but in the mailbox. FML
Today, I left work early, and discovered I was locked out of my house. I subsequently had to use a spoon I found on the ground to smash the bathroom window. I cut my leg on the glass when I climbed through. While inspecting the wound, I felt a lump in my pocket. It was my house key. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#50 I thought you were replying to #22 and I thought to myself "but #22 hasn't commented on this thread" and then I thought about it and realised that I'm an idiot.

What happened to carrying your own knife? (other than the one for work)
Awahso 25
Its funny you say that. I used to carry my own but for "liability reasons" we can only use company equipment

Uhh.. You ever heard of this concept called borrowing?

I could be wrong, but I believe there isn't a single box cutter where he is working. Else there wouldn't be any problem.

Can't you borrow a knife from someone? if not I'm sure you can atleast find a good pair of scissors.

Did you not see the part about how policy requires a box cutter?
graceinsheepwear 34
That policy has you really boxed in.

It's a never ending cycle! Ok, so the plan is to write a letter to the company explaining your situation, and hopefully they will start dispensing box cutters in zip-lock baggies for everyone's convenience!

A knife maybe would help

Maybe use scissors or a knife?
