Today, I was making sweet potato chips using my new slicer. I didn't mean to make a pinky finger chip as well. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to finally try out the veggie slicer I bought a few months ago to make healthy homemade potato chips. Along with the sliced potatoes, I am now missing about a quarter inch chunk of skin from the side of my hand and quite a bit of blood. At least the chips were good. FML
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
Today, I accidentally poured milk into my bowl of chips. FML
Today, I was making myself lunch. I love cooking, and often, I pretend I'm on the Food Network. I started to slice some tomatoes rapidly, which, turns out, was a big mistake; I sliced my thumb open. FML
Today, while demonstrating our new meat slicer at work, and after sharpening the blade at the end of the demonstration, I noticed some metal powder. I grabbed a rag to wipe it off, not realizing the blade was still in the “open” position. I now have six stitches and a really painful finger. FML
Today, I was telling my younger brother and sister how important it is to know how to use a knife properly, all while slicing potatoes. Just as I was saying how stupid people can be with knives, the potato slipped on the counter. I sliced open my hand while talking about knife safety. FML
Today, I was eating a bag of chips when one of the pieces broke off into a sharp point and when I chewed it, it stabbed into my gums. When I got up to wash the blood out of my mouth, I hit my big toe on my desk corner. FML
Today, I was cooking dinner for my children, managing for once not to screw up and hurt myself. Then, while chopping vegetables, I accidentally sliced my finger open. The same finger that was still covered in juice from a lemon I'd just squeezed. FML
Today, I was cutting potatoes. I was cutting them slowly, being careful, but my mom told me to cut faster, that I wouldn't cut myself. I cut myself. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yes! Now is the time for the OP to take to the streets and go door-to-door as an evangelist of knife safety.

Been there before, except that it was apple slices and my ring finger. FYL.

Me also. Surgical steel knife while making beef stew and a thumb. Didn't even feel it. Lol, I was amazed at how clean the cut was even while talking to the Doctor in the ED. Boyfriend was thoroughly freaked.

For me it was my thumb, and a cheese grater. Lol.

I've got a nice scar on my right ring finger from a similar accident. I use the hand guard every time now, no matter what. I didn't even feel it when it happened, that edge was that sharp. Anyway, moral of the story, ALWAYS use the hand guard. No exceptions.

I'm pretty clumsy in the kitchen, so I don't use a sliver especially after my sister nearly needed stitches in her finger because of one. The other week, I did, however, accidentally grate the top of my finger/middle knuckle off while trying to grate cheese. I now take the safest possible option whenever handling sharp objects in the kitchen - I make someone else do it!!

Invest in some cut resistant gloves to wear when handling sharp objects.

It's the little things like that that hurt the most sometimes. It's also particularly annoying when they don't stop bleeding. Hope it heals nice and quick! :)
