Today, during a workplace safety exercise at work, I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, while working at a fine-dining restaurant, I was dicing veggies. I was paying such close attention to make sure the veggies were all the same size, that I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML
Close
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, at 9 o’clock in the morning while I was working, I made the mistake of being comfortable with a machine that literally bends and breaks steel bars. I lost my entire middle finger and the top third of my pinky and ring fingers. FML
ER time
Today, I cut my hand on nothing while at work. It bled so much, I began to feel woozy, and everyone kept brushing me off when I asked where the first aid kits were. 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
Slice and dice
Today, I was working in a deli when I cut more meat than I intended; I basically removed my fingerprint via the deli slicer. FML
Kitchen Nightmares
Today, at work teaching a cooking class, one of the kids asked if they could use a knife to help me chop vegetables. I said no, because it was very sharp and only staff members are allowed to use them. Just as I said that, the knife sliced through the tip of my thumb. 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, while joking with my coworkers about how I shouldn't be trusted with a stapler because I managed to accidentally staple my finger last week, I stapled another finger. FML
Today, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML

Spreading butter on his toast. We all know how slippery that butter is.

At least you didn't cut off the tip of..."something else".
SqueakyChipmunk 22
...his nose?
HannahLouise96 13
Or his ear, perhaps?
KingDingALing 9
Perhaps I wasn't being specific enough. I was talking about the head of his pe- I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT.
SqueakyChipmunk 22
His...pectoral majors? His pencil? His pen? His penis-shaped lollipop?

Penis shaped lollipops eh...the things kids suck on nowadays..

Did it by any chance end up inside some Wendy's Chili? I hope so, because trying to eat around this thumb piece is difficult.

I think the real question should be... what kind of work does OP do?
ohSNAPyall 27
I think the real question should be: Does OP have a car? ..because I don't think she'll be hitchhiking anytime soon.
Hiphuray4peas 27
Also a valid question.

Well, with all the "smart" talk I wouldn't be surprised if some people couldn't figure that out. ^^

That is a good way to show how safety is not as simple as people think.
