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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

Being the first person to "Spoon" an item with their hands: Priceless There are some things that money can't buy, and I'm sorry to say that dignity is one of them.

#70 People often mistake certain peppers for other peppers due to the fact that not a lot of people know the different species, and call them based on color. You are most likely referring to red Bell Peppers, while the original poster is most likely referring to the Cayenne Chili Pepper or the Jalapeno Pepper.

A word of advice, don't finger yourself at work. No burning that way.

I know it will prolly suck, but use dish soap. it should help get the pepper oils off...unless it's a place where soap won't reach...

I was at a restaurant once, and they gave us some green peppers as appetizers. Me and my friend dared each other to eat one, but he accidently managed to get some of it in his eye... he never touched anything pepper-related again.

ok 1. I really hope u mean jalapeño cuz green peppers are sweet and don't hurt when they get in ur eye cept for how ur eye feels with anything in it. and 2. I don't think that he would never touch anything pepper-related cuz jalapeño doesn't Hurt THAT bad haha. so I'm calling fake on ur story :P

It's interesting to note how many of you are ranting on about the original poster not wearing gloves.... and I bet each and every one of you has eaten at McDonald's.

if this is your job you probably should have known that pepper burns in all the wrong places.
