Today, my OCD manager sprayed my hands with chemicals because I'd touched the bin while throwing away a piece of paper. My hands are now covered in itchy, unattractive rashes. FML

Today, I had to be rushed to the hospital when I started sneezing uncontrollably and got a huge rash. It turns out I'm highly allergic to a chemical in most cleaning supplies. Great. I just got a job as a house cleaner for a very rich family. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Today, I found out how acidic some of the chemicals I work with are. After a chemical shower, minor burns, and having to throw away my clothes due to a biohazard, I had the pleasure of running across the parking lot to my car, wearing only a lab coat around my waist. FML
Today, I saw my co-worker sneeze into his palm, get up, walk to my desk and smear his hand all over my computer mouse. He then went back to his desk and continued with his work. Last week we had a workplace awareness meeting about my OCD and fear of germs. FML
Today, I was working in a call center when I smelled perfume. I'm allergic, and it triggered my asthma. When I came back, some jerk had sprayed it all over my work area. I couldn't go near it for the rest of my shift, therefore I had to go home early, and got my paycheck docked. FML
Today, I received roughly 50 paper cuts while I was at work. I didn't realize this until after I applied hand sanitizer. FML
Today, I had an allergy test. Not only was I allergic to 35 out of the 40 items, they also found out that I'm allergic to the latex gloves my doctor happened to be wearing. Now my entire back is covered in a rash that will last at least another week. FML
Today, I had to take out the grease traps from our fryers. A very rude co-worker cut me off, so I had to abruptly stop and try to prevent as much spilling as possible. Luckily, it only spilled on me. I'm here for six more hours with burned, smelly, greasy spots all over my skin and clothes. FML
Today, I was getting ready for a very unpleasant doctor's appointment. I got out of the shower and used a new body spray all over my torso and arms. Turns out I'm allergic to it and now my skin is on fire, so now I get to go to an already uncomfortable appointment even more uncomfortable than I'd planned. FML
Today, as if having diarrhea at work wasn’t bad enough, my office’s aggressively flushing toilet sprayed me with my own liquid shit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

OCD sucks. I can say that she really can't help it. I've been there, and everyone gets annoyed with me over my "quirks" too. I know it sucks for you OP, but your manager really can't control it. It sucks for all parties involved

And this is when you report her for causing you bodily harm. OCD or no, she had no right to cause you physical harm. Report her ass and make sure that either she, or your work pay for the doctors bills.

The manager has the right to be bothered personally by OP touching the can. The manager does not have the right to act on that without OP's consent or OP has the right to give the manager a right hook/right cross right now!

I think you should complain to upper management, he has no valid reason to spray employees because of his PERSONAL issues, spray himself, not others!! Also, he's damaged your skin with rashes so he's injured you, I'd seriously complain, his behaviour will just worsen if ignored.

you know you can have him done for assault, right?

Having eczema, I understand your plight. I would make your boss pay for a doctors appointment. And DEFINITELY say something to them about the incident. That could have been very harmful to your health! Hope your hands feel better soon. For now, try Benadryl cream or calamine lotion.

Superbugs are the result of the over prescription of antibiotics and also from the failure of people to take their antibiotics as prescribed (not taking the antibiotics for the full amount of days for example, because they 'feel better.') These actions resulted in the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria which is a 'superbug.' Superbugs have nothing to do with whether or not you 'played in the mud.' That being said, there is something to be said for playing in the dirt and building your immunity up. As to the FML - I think it's assault as well and your boss either caused a chemical burn or allergic reaction. And OCD or whatever is not an excuse.
