Today, I cut my finger at work while chopping some vegetables. I grabbed the nearest rag I could to stop the bleeding and put it on the cut. I didn't know the rag had just been used to clean up a lemon juice spill. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was cooking dinner for my children, managing for once not to screw up and hurt myself. Then, while chopping vegetables, I accidentally sliced my finger open. The same finger that was still covered in juice from a lemon I'd just squeezed. FML
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 got a bad cut on my dominant hand while at work. My boss decided to order me to juice lemons... all 300 of them. FML
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, I was washing the dishes when I gave myself a nasty gash on my leg from the open dishwasher door. After five minutes of cleaning up the blood and wrapping it up, I came back to finish the job only to drop a plate and send broken shards into my foot. FML
Today, while trying to put something into the almost full waste bin, I cut myself with a razor blade that my son had thrown in there. It was surprisingly sharp, and my finger started pissing blood. FML
Today, while demonstrating our new meat slicer at work, and after sharpening the blade at the end of the demonstration, I noticed some metal powder. I grabbed a rag to wipe it off, not realizing the blade was still in the “open” position. I now have six stitches and a really painful finger. FML
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, I was working at a fast food restaurant when I cut my hand. There was a good amount of blood flowing out so I ran to my manager and asked where the first aid kit was. He then picked up a washcloth and some tape and handed it to me. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

look on the bright side, lemon juice tends to cauterize cuts

anyone that thinks this is something to "suck it up and grow a pair" needs to go have that done to themselves. and to add to that depending on what vegetables they were (aka peppers) it can make the pain 10 times worse

I do that on purpose... just cuz it's stingy I also do it with hand sanatizer

Hand sanitizer is usually alcohol based...What people don't know is it works on evaporation, the alcohol and water in the sanitizer breaks up the germs and replaces it with a hydrogen molecule (or was it water...) so it stays broken apart. If it doesn't evaporate (eg, you just put it in a moist cut) then it just stings for no reason and doesn't kill germs. And at the OP...so you had no idea where that rag had been and you slap it on your open wound. I'm afraid lemon stinging is the least of your worries. The rag was probably breeding more germs than a toilet. Either use a clean tissue or just hold it so you don't drip everywhere and find a tap with water to flush it out next time
