Embarrassing, Phobias and Work: Get it off!

Get it off!

By chocofreak - 10/05/2009 10:23 - United States

Today, I work at a chocolate factory on the sanitation shift. I was under a machine cleaning and a spider fell on me. I started freaking out and a coworker thought I got caught in the moving parts and frantically pulled me out and alerted my boss. Turns out it was just a piece of caramel. FML

Today, while I was fitting a new fuse box, a giant spider tried to eat my fingers. As I pulled away, I touched the exposed wires. I woke up flat on my back to the customer slapping my face, burnt fingers, and bruises everywhere. I had also peed and shit myself. FML

Today, while hiking, I walked face first into a spider web. Freaking out, I shook my hair out in case there was a spider. Later on in the day the spider fell from my hair into my food. FML

Today, someone had been stealing my brownie at work every day, so I sprinkled cocolax on one and waited to find out who the culprit was. Turns out it was my manager. Needless to say, I'm fired. FML

Today, I was eating lunch outside with my friends, when a spider fell on one guy's back. I glanced at it and opened my mouth to warn him when another guy flicked it and it went into my mouth. I can still taste it. FML

Today, at my job as a fast food manager, I saw one of my employees "trying to pick the bugs out" of our cookies. They were the raisins in them. FML

Juicy breakfast

Today, I woke up to a spider crawling across my face. I was so shocked that my new house had spiders, I jumped up out of bed, only to slip on the floor and land face down onto the bed. Wouldn't you know it, right where the spider was at that point. I can still taste the juice I squished out of it. FML

Today, I was working and eating. I was so tired that I bit into my pen and smeared my chocolate-filled pastry on my exercise book. FML

Today, I was making a shake at work when the cup fell off the blender. I went to catch it, and instead caught the teeth of the still-spinning mixer. When my hand was still bleeding five minutes later, my supervisor told me to clock out until it stopped. I lost money for getting hurt on the job. FML

Today, at work a little girl wanted a slushie. Instead of pushing the tab in, she lifted it up and broke the machine, spilling slushie all over the floor. I was the only one working, so I had to clean it all up. I spent the rest of my shift covered in red slushie and smelling like cherry. FML

Unless you were fired, I don't see it as anythnig huge... not an FYL. Embarrassing probably, at the most. You don't deserve it, but ... I feel bad for you, though. I'm not afraid of spiders, but it would've sucked if you had gotten stuck in the machine. At least your co-worker pulled you out. And Phoenix_GAD/42, thank you for having sense. Some people are acting like such tough guys on here tellign the OP she's stupid, but everyone has some sort of irrational fear or phobia, if it's not spiders. Sheesh.

Try not to spazz out over unimportant things. A spider on you is gross, and you can shudder and brush it off yourself, but there's no need to scream and convulse and lose all control of yourself enough to make people think you're caught in the machinery. Gawd.

It's actually pretty easy to get hurt in a chocolate factory. Alot of moving parts go on and you really have to watch your surroundings or you could end up losing a finger. I would never suspect a spider to be lurking in a machine though, theres just not enough time for them to get in there.
