Today, I work at a pizza place and one of my jobs is to spoon crushed red pepper into bags. After I finished this, without thinking to wash my hands first, I used the bathroom. It still burns. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was cleaning a pan. I turned the water on, and it was super hot. My reaction was to slam my hand down. On a knife. So, not only do I have a burned hand, but there's also a huge cut on it from the knife. FML
Today, I was in a rush, so I was removing my nail polish while using the toilet. Everything was going fine, until I used the toilet paper in my hand to wipe. It was covered in nail polish remover. It still burns. FML
Today, I reheated leftover pasta at work. I forgot to crack a vent on the container and it exploded in the microwave. Sauce coated the inside, so I spent my lunch break scrubbing while coworkers waited awkwardly to heat their food. The smell is still hanging in the office air. 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 was making Cup Noodles for breakfast. After microwaving it for 3 minutes, I carefully grabbed the cup to pour some water out, but my hand gave out and some water spilled on it. Now I have a burned hand and no noodles. FML
Today, I cut my finger with a knife while cooking. I work in a hospital and have to use hand disinfectant at least every twenty minutes. It hurts badly. I have to work for eight hours. 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 was feeling sick but went into my waitressing job because I'd already missed 3 days this week. I was dizzy and managed to spill a tray of drinks all over the customers. Then, when their food was done, I tripped and spilled hot chili all over the man's lap. FML
Today, I sat at work for eight hours daydreaming about the homemade four-cheese ravioli I would come home to after spending three hours making it from scratch the night before. When I finally got home and heated the ravioli, I dropped it all over my feet, giving me second degree burns. FML
Today, while cooking, I managed to burn my finger. I quickly turned the tap on and ran my finger under cold water, but apparently someone had just used the hot tap, because boiling water flooded out onto my nicely scalded finger. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I've heard of people experiencing burning pain after spooning before.

You should be fired for not wearing gloves, I hope it burns for a long time maybe you'll learn something.

How does it happen that your hand touches anything *other* than skin when wiping? How does pepper get on your hands if you're using a spoon? I doth challenge the reality of this anecdote.

Oh I know how you feel. That's a lie. Nobody will ever know how you feel... Because nobody is this retarded.

Oh like you've never done something stupid before.

Ouchy, but be thankful it wasn't the pure stuff, loads of people in my lab group managed to get that on some interesting places. That's far, far worse. I think you're going to have to do some very thorough washing when you get home...but yeah, sucks. Also, people who're asking how it got there, that stuff really does transfer VERY easily. Add into the fact that the OP is a girl...it's not that difficult to understand.

Nope, I still don't get it. Enlighten me.

I hope you're being sarcastic and amusing. But on the offchance you're not, I'm going to point out that toilet paper is very thin and throw in the word osmosis for free. :)

ooh free osmosis!
Cinn_fml 23
Don't worry, pendatik, I only gave the word away for free! :P
Cinn_fml 23
And there was me thinking that our stereotype was being stingy bastards.... Oh well. :P But we've stolen the south's nice weather, so it's all good. :)
Cinn_fml 23
Three excellent points there. :P However I feel that t'actual distance might make you safe from us northerners. Not to mention most get scared by the south because of this mysterious extra word you seem to have...
GEFStryker 29
Cinn... osmosis? Really? Are you that ridiculously stupid? Really?!? Like.... REALLY!?! Just.... wow.
Cinn_fml 23
@GEFStryker - Apparently. But I would have thought it was still an applicable term, oh, actually, now I think about osmosis is the difussion of solution UP a concentration gradient isn't it? Ops, my bad. Maybe dialysis (however spelt) would be more appropriate. Because that's the difussion through a partially permeable membrane down a concentration gradient. I apologise for having not done biology for four years. @pendatik - Well if we don't have it, how can I tell you what it is? :P But luckily we have it in writing, we just have no idea how to say it; 'the'.
Cinn_fml 23
Oh aye :P Not really that northern though, just good ol'lancs and york...not a good combination, they seem to hate each other, we northerners good at keeping grudges over a five hundred year period it'd seem... But we unite against t'south. But yeah, back to the normal way of typing, even for northerners :P
Cinn_fml 23
Oh we have the same grudge against the french, and the germans...actually, pretty much anyone who's not part of our own country, bunch of bigots the lot of us really :P Though I can't think of any issues the north have with the welsh... Basically lancs and yorks hate each other unless it involves the south, and then they unite (along with the other counties up here). The north and south hate each other unless it involves another country and then they unite... Or so it seems.
Cinn_fml 23
I've no idea. I don't hate southerners, I mean I joke about it and stuff, but honestly I don't really care. Most people I know are the same. But it must've come from somewhere. Sibling-like rivalry?
FarSide 23
@124: No, its not a reaction. We really do hate their intercoursing guts.
Cinn_fml 23
Sorry, FarSide, but as pendatik said, we were discussing the north/south divide of England. Hence the mention of 1066 and no word 'the' etc. :)

Rub in some Haagen Dazs to cool it down. Get your boyfriend to lick it off. You'll feel so much better.
