Today, at work, I dropped a heavy block of lead on my hand. On my hunt for ice, I had to tell my manager - who told her manager, who told the chief - in the end, the whole department found out and they made me fill in two long-arsed incident reports. I had to fill them in myself with my busted up hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, while drilling holes in "No Smoking" signs for my job, I gave myself a minor cut that would appear to most as a papercut. I then had to fill out 3 double-sided pages of paperwork. FML
Today, my coworker and I were written up after we dropped a glass table, which shattered and left us with big cuts on our hands and arms. We weren’t written up for breaking the piece, but because a nearby customer heard us both swear in pain and reported us. FML
Today, my co-worker threw a rubber mallet at my face, and I broke my finger in the process of saving my face. She then told me to "take it up with HR, bitch". She's the HR manager. FML
Today, during a workplace safety exercise at work, I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML
Today, I was carrying a stack of paperwork at work, when my pen rolled off and onto the floor. As soon as I bent down to pick it up, a nearby co-worker, who's always hated me, accused me of putting on a show and sexually harassing him. He actually followed up by reporting me to HR. FML
Today, I was making a shake at work when the cup fell off the blender. I went to catch it, and instead caught the teeth of the still-spinning mixer. When my hand was still bleeding five minutes later, my supervisor told me to clock out until it stopped. I lost money for getting hurt on the job. FML
Today, while washing the dishes at work I was told to go put some things into the big freezer at the back of the store. While doing so, the door closed behind me, so naturally I pushed it, only to have my wet hands freeze to the door. I yelled to my manager for 10 minutes before help came. FML
Today, my manager bailed on me during the afternoon rush; swamped and distracted, I cut off the pad of my thumb in a cheese slicer. Some clinic hours later I returned, hungry and sick with blood loss, to sign WC papers. Manager's only words: "You're staying late to cover your long break, right?" FML
Today, at work, I helped out an employee who was having trouble. I even bought her a bottle of water. After the production manager decided to fire her on the spot, she went out in the parking lot and broke into several cars, including mine. FML
Today, at work on a construction site, my coworker dropped a small piece of metal from 4 stories, and it struck another worker. We quickly began to climb down to see if the person was OK, and the same coworker dropped a metal pole, and crushed my hand, two minutes after the first accident. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I like how it said hunt instead of search. As if ice were a wild being that must be trapped. oh boy, wouldn't the world suck if you needed to hunt ice. I can tell you right now, all of my drinks would be warm as fudge. XD wtf am I talking about?!?! O.o

The op's upset that they had to fill out the long arse paper work with thier busted hand. That sucks, usually someone else fills out the paperwork, like your manage, not the person who was injured. Well, in all of the jobs I've worked at, security or the manager fills out the paperwork.

I can tell you how he MAY HAVE dropped a heavy piece of lead on his hand as I myself have done it @work before which required an accident report being filled out...by me : ) blood dripping everywhere and all. I work in theatre and in theatre there are 45-50lb lead bricks which are stacked atop 1 another to counter balance scenery that flys in

and out. A brick slipped while I was trying to make a stack and half of my hand got smashed between the 2 50lb bricks.

seriously dude just ask somebody to write everything down for you and if nobody will then it isn't like you don't have 2 hands so just use your other ******* hand

Oh sure. why don't I write with my other hand ? Have you ever thought that maybe I wasn't ambidextrous?

The bad news: long reports. The good news: you could be compensated $e3-e5 (if Australia has an equivalent to America's OSHA). The very bad news: your company could lose $e6-e7 in legal fees.

It's the rules mate. There is an act dedicated to this sort of thing, called RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Deaths and Dangerous Occurences Regulations).
