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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I received roughly 50 paper cuts while I was at work. I didn't realize this until after I applied hand sanitizer. FML
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, during a workplace safety exercise at work, I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. 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, 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, I cut my finger with a knife while cooking. I work in a hospital and have to use hand disinfectant at least every twenty minutes. It hurts badly. I have to work for eight hours. 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, 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, my psycho boss snatched a file from my hand so aggressively that I got a papercut. She then scolded me for bleeding on the papers. FML

isn't that unhygienic to be juicing lemons with a open wound, could easily get some blood in there and spread hep C.

You're supposed to wear vinyl gloves when working with ready-to-eat foods, so the lemon juice shouldn't burn the cut you wouldn't have gotten if you'd used the proper safety equipment.

I feel your pain...almost literally; today I was at work at the movies and cut my hand 3 times on a sharp edge of a Lollie cup because it was so busy...and because it was busy I had to make popcorn for 3 hours and the salt stung something chronic. Anywhooooo...

....shouldn't you be wearing gloves if you're touching food? ydi for not being sanitary, that's disgusting that you'd work with food while having an open cut. sure, the pain sucks, but still gloves could have been worn.

ydi for not wearing gloves where I work if we have a cut on our hands we have to have a bandage on and gloves on all of the time regardless if we have wounds or not

The herp derp in you just didn't realise gloves or some improvised way of protesting you hand(s) was available.

are you all (bar one) stupid. They probably were wearing gloves but whrn jucing your hand is used to push the fruit through causing pain from pressure not the lemon juice.
