Today, I accidentally asked a one-armed man which arm he wanted me to take blood from. He asked for a different nurse. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, as a nursing student, I needed to take a blood sample from someone and the veins on his arms weren't really easy to draw blood from. I asked him, "Can I please look at your legs?" It turns out he was amputated. FML
Today, I decided to give blood for the second time. I felt excrutiating pain when she stuck the needle in my arm. Another nurse came running over in a panic. Apparently my inexperienced nurse had put it in my tendon instead of my vein. FML
Today, I went for bloodwork. It's routine for me, so I was ready for the nurse to put in the needle and take my blood. It went in fine, but right after, she slowly pulled the needle out, then wondered why the blood stopped. She then moved it back and forth in my arm while I panicked silently. FML
Today, I went to a blood drive. The nurse taking my blood mentioned that she'd been called in on her day off, and she swore she wasn't drunk. I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled and blinked back tears as she savaged the vein in my arm. FML
Today, I went to get my blood drawn to see how far along I am pregnant. The lady stuck both my arms twice and then busted a vein in my right arm. She told me to come back tomorrow to try again. FML
Today, while volunteering to feed the homeless, one of them asked me to follow him to his car where he had a knife and bottle so he could "bottle up my blood". FML
Today, I finally went to have blood taken for an allergy test I really need. Afterwards, I had an allergic reaction to the bandaid they used on my arm. FML
Today, I gave blood. He sneezed while he stuck the needle in my arm. FML
Today, I went to donate blood for the first time. When they stuck the needle in my arm, I had a panic attack and begged that they take it out. The woman helping me told me she'd take it out in a moment and left. It was then that the Red Cross stole a pint of my blood while I had a panic attack. FML
Today, I got my annual blood test. The nurse was inexperienced and it took her several tries to insert the needle properly. When I get back home, my fiancé starts yelling at me and storms out. The reason? I am a recovering drug addict and my arm appeared as if I had been shooting up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Just turn it into a joke, and say "No, I meant: your arm or mine?" It won't work completely, but it might take away some of the tension.

on Halloween when my brother was like 14 he snatched some kids bag of candy from him and when he turned around he realized the kid he stole from only had one arm. so it could've been worse.
HeavyScout 0
Well then f you and your brother for even wanting to steal candy from others...smh
kouklistax3 2
I definitely wasn't even born when that happened. but thanks, asshole.
Tristyxxx 24
That would really suck if the kid was under the age of 10, any age sucks though.
cimh 9
That was my thought, that she is just so used to saying this sentence that it just came out. But damn ... I'd be sooo embarrased. I'd be happy that another nurse would do the job!

I thumbed her comment down just because of that god damn picture.
guitargoddess89 3
lol that beiber person commented earlier too and got a thumbs down then. my theory was it's prob cuz of the name and picture lol.

Stealing candies from kids is ok, only if they're fat though and you give the candy to the homeless. It's the only way to fight obesity and feed the needy.
Tristyxxx 24
I don't blame him.
CryMoreFMLs 15
I ate his other arm while you weren't looking! Mehehehe. I am Painis Cupcake.... I will eat...... .....YOU!

CryMoreFMLs 15
Thank you. I have to let the stupid out sometimes, apologies. You can't always expect a guy with the creepiest pictures he can find to make serious comments 24/7 can you? ...... Can you..? Also, I'm honored the octopus man called me out on this one.

Can I call you Mr. Epic for short? I won't remember that. Short memory span and all...

-32 Plagues all of us Mr... Errr... I'll call you Bob, so Bob, what were we talking about?
CryMoreFMLs 15
I can't remember... Something 'bout eating... damn I'm hungry. 3:00AM munchies are the worst.

-36 I once had to eat an Octopus that threatened our almighty deity (in the picture) at 3:00. Tasted salty.
CryMoreFMLs 15
Delicious. Well, Imma go to sleep now before the clowns under my bed realize I'm awake and eat me. Gotta outsmart them you know... silly honking things.
Iamnotmyself 17
-40 I once had an uncle who was a clown, he also liked to sleep with me in my bed. I never figured it why.

Well, I'm awake. Time for FML to suffer my insanity again.

88- nah. it was more like carpooled to ice cream parties. my dad worked for bluebell. say hello to free ice-cream! :D

Haha. It's an honest mistake though. I'm sure you are so used to saying it that you just said it without thinking. That would be embarassing and awkward though.
ilovecookies83 0
Yeah I agree! You probably just said it out of routine and as awkward as that may have been, it could happen to anyone.

Thank you 5! OP doesn't deserve it, it was an honest mistake considering the fact that they say it so often. I highly doubt OP said it on purpose. . .

I'm pretty sure 4 comments saying the exact same thing weren't necessary.

If you look at the time Jacob, I posted this before the commenter on 4. Not to mention not everyone reads the comments.

Look before you speak
BurnDownTheDawn 11
Think before you act, look before you leap, sober up before sex. All sorts of things could be avoided that way.
BIEBERSLAYER 10
how could you not notice that I mean it's a pretty big oversight.
TheSithAssassin 15
I think not noticing is the best way to avoid any discrimination.
Nosrebor 8
Or noticing but not acknowledging that you noticed.

I just gave you a thumbs up cuz of your name bieberslayer

being someone that draws blood, your just in a routine and the words come out before you realize what you just said.
dreamering 16
Good thing that he didn't show his dick to you. You really deserved it the show.
JakeLee 6
no. just, no.
dreamering 16
23, because his dick would be better than showing his middle finger to OP.
dreamering 16
17, you seem like you're getting hurt dude. Sometimes is not enough to refuse a butt plug, I mean dick, just by complaining. You have to run away.
Tristyxxx 24
This is horrible and I'll be thumbed down but 49 was funny.
absolutegrrr 7
looks like the only person thumbing 49 up is himself...
dreamering 16
64, You look like you need a "butt plug" too. You know what I mean about a butt plug.

I do believe getting blood drawn from the dick would be rather painful, but good suggestion....

I would have asked for another nurse as well.
