Today, I was teaching a woodshop class. We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood. While helping a kid to hold a piece to practice drilling, he went too far forward with the drill. It went through my hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was cold and alone at work, so I decided to try and warm myself up on the panini toaster. As I was holding the top side open and my other hand over the hot metal, I accidentally closed the door on my hand. FML
Today, I accidentally ran my thumb down the cheese grater while preparing lunch beside my wife. I instantly jerked my hand away from the grater just in time run my forearm across the knife she was using. I now have 20 stitches and 5 staples in my arm, no lunch, and a puking wife. FML
Today, I chipped my tooth on a beer bottle. While I was drinking alone in my basement. FML
Today, I was clipping my abnormally thick toenails. I had to apply so much pressure on the clippers that a nail flew off, hit me in the eyeball and scratched my cornea. The doctor nearly fell off his chair laughing during my eye exam after I told him what happened. FML
Today, as I was about to walk across the street, a girl in front of me who clearly wasn't paying attention to the traffic, almost got run over. I grabbed her arm and jumped back. She was fine. I fell and fractured my arm and wrist. FML
Today, I was babysitting a new child. I guess she heard me tell her parents about my severe peanut allergy because she got a jar out of the pantry, spread it all over the stairs leading to where her fort was, and walked around with a baseball bat covered in it so I couldn't come near her. FML
Today, I accidentally punched myself in the face while trying to take my bra off. FML
Today, I opened up an English textbook to find someone else's dirty fingernails between the pages. FML
Today, we were having a little bonfire. At some point, while I was inside, my stupid roommate filled a beer can with lighter fluid and threw it in the fire, resulting in it spewing 5-foot flames, catching the pile of wood and the chair next to it on fire. FML
Today, due to "severe cuts to the budget" at work, I had to stir my coffee with a paperclip. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I guess wood and penetration aren't always a good thing.

seriously? with a drill? behind a piece of wood? i mean i've stabbed myself with a drill hundreds of times, but thats because it bounced. what on earth made you think you should put your hand in the way of a drill? it like crossing you arms using a saw. just really dumb.

You can't be too good of a teacher if you're sticking your hand in the path of the drill. YDI.

YDI for having your hand in a place the drill could go. First thing anyone learns when working with power tools is you don't put your hands in the way REGARDLESS of whether the tool is supposed to go that far. You you wouldn't put your hands under a saw blade because you don't plan on cutting that far same rule applies with drills.... and elecrtic sanders.... and nail guns.... and EVERY POWER TOOL IN EXISTENCE. You put your hand off to the side of where they are supposed to be drilling, not underneath. That way, if they drill too far, its just too big of a hole and not a hole in your hand. Yes, there is still a change you'll get hit with the drill if they like, move it or whatever, but they wont drill through you. I'm nervous about the fact that you're teaching woodshop if you don't know basic safety rules.

haha plex that's awesome. op that really sucks. you should have used some clamps or something. or just not let you idiot students use power tools just yet. maybe start with a screwdriver and hack saw :)

your a teacher and you had your hand in the line of a drill YDI, i hope someone else teaches these kids proper safety procedures before one of the kids has an accident

You know what makes FML so funny? Not the FML's anymore. They lack originality. It's the droves of people who argue over FML's, insult each other, etc. Who are you people kidding? Anyway, way to type with one hand OP.

...You held your hand directly in line with a drill, while said drill was in the hands of someone who doesn't really know how to use it.... Well done.

hell, even if the person did know how to use it, its still stupid

To those people who said YDI... I agree with you... You're a TEACHER, you should know where to hold the wood so that when your students begin drilling, your hand doesn't get drilled through either. How you managed to get to teach the class when you don't even know the basics.

lol. depends on he hand maybe. I can type either the normal way with both hands or with my left hand. Not so good with typing right-handed-only, even though i'm right handed
