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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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!

You only have ONE box cutter for the entire place? The warehouse I work at has at least one per person.

Maybe one person is the whole department...

I had a similar dilemma a couple of days ago. I bought a pair of scissors but couldn't get in to the packaging without scissors.

Just like that one bit in the Ratchet and Clank games where there were two glass containers with the labels "In case of emergency, break glass to get wrench." and "in case of emergency, use wrench to break glass to get rock to break glass to get wrench." Clank took it to be a mind teaser, while Ratchet just broke the glass with his original wrench.
