Today, I was at Home Depot getting a Christmas tree with my family. While picking out a tree, a man thought it would be nice to help cut off the string that held the tree together. The branches hit me in the face and the guy managed to cut my hand. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML
Today, I was trying to convince my husband to not trim the lower branches of my favorite tree. After pleading my case, I turned around and ran smack into one of said branches. My face and my dignity still hurt. FML
Today, my father was pruning the tree in our front yard. I was helping him collect the falling branches. At one point, a branch fell and I was under it. My father jumped to push me out of the way. Instead he pushed the branch into my face. FML
Today, my husband finally got round to cutting down a tree limb in our front yard after months of me begging him. It fell on me. FML
Today, my family and I were decorating the Christmas tree. It seemed a bit unstable, but we decorated it without any problems. Later, while my daughter sat by the tree, it began to fall. Her grandmother stopped the tree from hitting her. I, on the other hand, screamed like a little girl. I'm a 38 year-old guy. FML
Today, my family went to the Christmas tree farm, and cut down the perfect tree. When we got home we put the kids down for a nap and took some time to relax. We went out to the truck to bring the tree into the house, it was gone. Someone stole my Christmas tree from my driveway in broad daylight. FML
Today, my family and I went Christmas tree shopping. My husband and I were walking around when I saw the perfect tree. Excited, we immediately bought it. When we got home and set it up, I realized it came with a present: termites. FML
Today, I finally put my Christmas lights up. In the process, a branch from the bush in my yard smacked me in the face, giving me a very noticeable scar on my nose. I have a photo session tomorrow. FML
Today, I cut down a dead tree in my yard. The top hit the ground and the base seesawed up in the air and came down on my head. I hit the ground like a sack of flour. Fortunately, the wood was rotted and soft. Unfortunately, the chainsaw was still running. 28 stitches in my calf. FML
Today, I was awakened by the sound of chain-saws. Moments later a tree branch came through my roof. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I have to agree with the masses on this one. He was lending a hand, and an accident happened. And besides, this is only one side of the story. For all we know, the guy could have offered to cut the string and you accepted, only he cut the string before you were ready. And you're making everything out to be his fault, because it was embarrassing. Who knows?

Poor service? Talk to the manager if it's bad enough to be posted on FML.

Then give the gift that keeps on giving - complain about his behavior to management and watch the spiral commence.

don't be a douche, I'm sure he had no intention of hurting the OP, and if she complains he will lose his job. Its tough out there and he may not find another job. Sometimes accidents happen.

He cut her hand, which most likely involved blood, which can cause health risks. I know I probably sound like a paranoid germaphobe right now, but "accidents" like that can potentially get people nasty infections. No, I don't mean "The flu" I mean Hepatitis, or something else you can't get rid of. If the kid's making "accidents" like that, does he really need to be weilding a knife in the store?

Finally someone has common sense. Its not a big deal. He was helping them cut off the string (don't know y but that's what she said). And hitting her was an accident. This isn't an FML unless she really got hurt badly.

You deserve it for buying a Christmas tree at the Home Depot. How about supporting a local tree farm, Mr. Big-Buisness?

Where I'm from, the trees at Home Depot, Wal*Mart, Canadian Tire etc. ARE from local tree farms. They are usually set up in the parking lot of these stores, with permission from the owners of course.

Same here #17! I don't think any of those places actually sells Christmas trees.
