Today, changing the garbage in the bathroom at work resulted in a hospital visit after an incorrectly disposed used needle scraped into my thigh. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I found out how it feels when someone slips and falls while they have a hypodermic needle in your arm. 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, I was accidently stabbed in the shin with a pen, right before a long weekend. It will need stitches. FML
Today, I had to flush someone else's shit in the public washroom at work. It was so vile, I didn't want to get anywhere near it, so flushed it with my foot, only for it to slip off the handle and into the toilet. FML
Today, I had an accident at work. Not the kind involving worker's compensation. The kind involving desperately scrubbing my office chair with paper towels, before going home to change my pants. FML
Today, I had to get stitches on my foot and was then forced to wear a plastic bag on my foot while showering. The plastic bag made me slip in the shower and had to go back and get stitches in my forehead. 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, at work, I used my foot to flush the toilet, lost my balance, and ended up catching myself with my foot in the toilet. FML
Today, I was changing the garbage at a local fast food place where I work. Being a rather short guy, I had to lean back and fling the full, heavy bag at the top. I did so with such force that my head hit the dumpster, knocking me out. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You'd think people would get the point by now that needles need to be properly disposed. It's sad that you had to be the one to literally get it.

I'd say you needle be more careful in the future.

That's a sticky situation... but seriously, I hope everything turned out ok.

I guess when it's not in the SHARPs container it's still safe to assume it's sharp!

People who can't dispose of sharps correctly are pricks.

You should probably get tested. That sucks OP

Lazy Co workers who can't grasp the simplicity of proper disposal piss me off. Sorry OP. Your life sucks.

Please remember to fill out a WSIB form (or whatever it is called from wherever you are from) to protect yourself for the future - sometimes symptoms of whatever you could have gotten from the needle won't show until later and even if everything comes back negative, it is better to have a record so that work will not turn their backs on you for not reporting it. Either way, I am sorry to hear what happened to you. It almost happened to me once, too, when I went to pick up a pile of paperwork. There was a needle under it and the first thing I did to make sure I was not poked was use a bunch of sanitizer on my hand to see if it burned.
