A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, while working at a fine-dining restaurant, I was dicing veggies. I was paying such close attention to make sure the veggies were all the same size, that I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML

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

Today, at 9 o’clock in the morning while I was working, I made the mistake of being comfortable with a machine that literally bends and breaks steel bars. I lost my entire middle finger and the top third of my pinky and ring fingers. FML

ER time
Today, I cut my hand on nothing while at work. It bled so much, I began to feel woozy, and everyone kept brushing me off when I asked where the first aid kits were. FML

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

Slice and dice
Today, I was working in a deli when I cut more meat than I intended; I basically removed my fingerprint via the deli slicer. FML

Today, at work teaching a cooking class, one of the kids asked if they could use a knife to help me chop vegetables. I said no, because it was very sharp and only staff members are allowed to use them. Just as I said that, the knife sliced through the tip of my thumb. FML

Today, while I was at work in a machine shop, I cut myself really bad. Not with any of the sharp tools, drills, or metals I work with. Just the soap dispenser. 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, I was cutting some paper when I accidentally cut a sizeable chunk out of my finger. I went to my car to get my bumbag (I'm a lifeguard) so I could patch it up. I then promptly got a large piece of glass in my foot. FML

#3 Op cut their thumb. I know I wouldn't want to do that again.

I would assume that whatever action lead to the OP cutting the tip of their thumb off, would be the WRONG action.

8 Well if OP manages to do that again, he won't be able to do it another time.

Ive done that to 3 fingers. It sucks so bad, especially since my reaction all 3 times was to vomit and pass out.

Because getting a piece of your thumb chopped off usually feels good. Smartest.

It's called sarcasm.

The emotional pain was worse. Can you imagine the trauma of losing part of your thumb, trying to type up the FML, and then realizing that this site is COVERED in thumbs? You should talk to a shrink, OP. They'd be able to point you in the right direction.

Oh the irony. FYL, OP. I hope your thumb heals quickly and that the pain goes away as soon as possible.

*Shows Safety Video* "Sorry boss, this might be a bad time, but...I just cut off my thumb". I bet that conversation was awkward. Oh, the irony.
