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!

sorry but you fail at teaching wood shop YDI for setting a really bad example for your students I guess at least they'll know how NOT to hold a board that's being drilled into now...

Not a good teacher. You put yourself in a dangerous position. You know who's to blame. BTW: Re: "We were using power tools, including drills, and pieces of pine wood." Pine wood is NOT a power tool. Not a good teacher at all... tsk, tsk.

He never said that pine wood was a power tool. Basic reading comprehension will tell you that what is set inside the commas is a separate idea, therefore, it is to be read as "We were using power tools and pieces of pine wood." The including is inside the quotes and only referencing the drills, not the pieces of wood. Calling them a bad teacher on misreading the statement is completely unfounded.

Anyone saying "YDI" is obviously a complete moron looking for a reason to be a dissenting asshole. Seriously, EVERYONE makes mistakes, just because he was a teacher and "should've known better" doesn't mean he DESERVED it! If you've never made a stupid mistake in your life, feel free to continue saying this poor guy "deserved" it, but otherwise, please just stfu and quit trying to look cool by pointing out why FMLs posted on this site are the OP's fault and how they "deserved" it. God. Damn.

No, this goes far beyond a mistake. This is idiocy on a level that's physically endangering, both to himself and to his students.

Just to let you know, you cannot possibly hold your hand under a piece of wood while someone drills it unless you properly stick it under on purpose hoping to get drilled. Plus, how did you type? Fake.

i took a woodshop class similar to this, and something like that could easily have happened. But why can't the kid hold the wood himself? if they're too young to hold it in place, then they're too young to use the machine.
