Today, I was clipping my nails. When I got to my toenail, the whole thing somehow ripped right out. I'm in agony. FML

What? How? Why?
Today, I smashed my finger with a hammer. A finger on the hand holding the hammer. FML

Today, I painfully watched my doctor burn a hole in my nail to drain the blood underneath. This is the prescribed treatment for the injury of hammering your thumb. FML

Today, I found out what it feels like to get hit in the head with a bat. Not the wooden kind though. The one that bites and claws you when it gets stuck in your hair. FML

Today, I had to remove a splinter from one of my roommates. This would have been better if the splinter wasn't deeply lodged in their asscheek. FML

Always wear protective gear
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

I appreciate the lack of spoilers in this FML for those of us who haven't gotten out our hammers and tried it ourselves.

I know secondhand embarrassment is a thing but is secondhand physical pain thing? Cause I think reading this FML made it a thing.

Well, since fingernails are less than an inch long ... I'm so sorry for your loss. I've had a similar experience a time or two (I build guitars out of old wood, it gets messy on occasion) and it's basically the worst. Like getting two hundred tattoos on the point of your elbow at once.

This has happened to me before, put rubbing alcohol on it before and after you pull it out, then tightly wrap your finger in a bandaid because it will be sore for a few days after and the pressure will relieve the pain
