Slippery when oiled

Today, as I walked with a coworker to my office through a gas station, I slid on some oil and fell right on my ass. He helped by holding my lunch. My jeans are ruined and I'm too broke to buy a new pair. FML

Ripper

Today, at work, the seat of my pants ripped open. A coworker lent me a pair of his back-up jeans, and then those ripped in the crotch. FML

Today, I had an accident at work. Not the kind involving worker's compensation. The kind involving desperately scrubbing my office chair with paper towels, before going home to change my pants. FML

Today, I was walking into work holding a coffee and a bunch of other things. My employee saw me and held the door. I was almost there when I dropped my coffee, tried to catch it, tripped over the curb and fell flat on my face. I heard the door close while still lying there. FML

Today, I was walking to work, when I slipped and landed on my tail bone. Worse still, my hot coffee went flying into my face. I currently can't see out of my left eye. FML

Today, I was taking out the garbage at work when I slipped and fell into the garbage container. The scent was so bad that a bus driver denied me a ride home. 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 slipped and fell on the ice while attending a community event for work. A man came to help me up, and I farted really loudly. FML

The staircase

Today, the elevator at work was taking forever so I decided to make a change and take the stairs instead. I slipped on the second step and spent the next few minutes laying there as people asked if I was OK. My pride is bruised… as well as my ass. FML

I am a bit reluctant to add this… When I was a teen part of my job was to mow and take care of the mower. We always had gasoline on hand. Gasoline will remove oil. But it’s dangerously and explosively flammable! It’s also now a suspected carcinogen. And you sure as hell don’t want to put anything in a clothes dryer that has the smell of gasoline on it! (Clothes dryers are a potential ignition source.) There are other solvents for motor oil that are significantly less dangerous - such as mineral spirit based paint thinner or “Goof Off”. These are still flammable just less explosively flammable.
