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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during a workplace safety exercise at work, I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML
Today, I learned what a nail gun shooting my leg feels like. FML
Today, while nailing a board down, I hit my thumb with the hammer. As I reached to console my throbbing finger, I dropped the hammer on my foot. When I went down to hold my foot, I smacked my head on the board. Now I've got a concussion, a smashed finger, and a bruised foot. FML
Today, I was helping my friend put up a wooden fence at his new house. I was holding the sections of fence up while he nailed them in with an air powered nail gun. The gun malfunctioned and fired twice putting the second nail through my hand and into the wood. We had to pry the nail out. FML
Today, while trying to pull a nail out of some wood with a crowbar in my theatre class, my girlfriend, who was holding down the wood with her foot, thought it would be funny to move her foot and make me lose my balance. Instead, the crowbar flew up and struck me in the nuts. FML
Today, my reflexes kicked in when I saw a hot glue gun falling. FML
Today, I dropped a knife while cooking. Luckily it missed my foot, but only because it hit my knee. 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, while showing off the sharpness of my new katana, I missed my target and hit my shoe. The strike cut into the second toe of my right foot, which then had to be amputated. Demonstration successful. FML
Today, at work, I used my foot to flush the toilet, lost my balance, and ended up catching myself with my foot in the toilet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

am i the only one who has a nail gun thats idiot proof ? the kind with the little metal safety that nees to be pushed against the wood before it will allow the gun to fire the nail.

Sometimes construction workers will, allegedly, find a ways to disable that feature, on the ground that it allows them to work faster. Or they <i>don't</i> disable that safety feature, and instead walk around with their finger on the trigger like complete morons.

Was the three stooges theme playing in the background?

Don’t put your finger on the trigger UNTIL you are ready to fire! That goes for guns, and quite frankly, anything else with a trigger.
