Today, I was handling corrosive chemicals when I accidentally spilled a beaker of Hydrochloric Acid on myself. I had to strip naked and use the emergency shower with my boss and my hot coworker watching. The worst part was when I realized my coworker was laughing at the size of my penis. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out how acidic some of the chemicals I work with are. After a chemical shower, minor burns, and having to throw away my clothes due to a biohazard, I had the pleasure of running across the parking lot to my car, wearing only a lab coat around my waist. FML
Today, I had to take out the grease traps from our fryers. A very rude co-worker cut me off, so I had to abruptly stop and try to prevent as much spilling as possible. Luckily, it only spilled on me. I'm here for six more hours with burned, smelly, greasy spots all over my skin and clothes. FML
Today, as I was walking to wash my hands after using the restroom, the guy walking away from the sink flicked water from his hands towards the floor. Water splashed all over my beige shorts. I had to walk back into class looking like I'd peed my pants. FML
Today, I took a piss while doing yard work. Later, to my horror, I discovered that I had touched poison oak at some point. My penis is now blistered and swollen. FML
Today, I was working as a paramedic when my patient's colostomy bag exploded all over me. I was covered in fecal matter, with 5 hours left on my shift. FML
Today, I had to shit worse than I thought possible at work. I left my desk and hurried towards the bathroom, dropping trou as soon as the door closed. I then tripped over my pant leg, hit my head on the toilet, and came to some minutes later with my ass spewing diarrhea like a volcano. FML
Today, I purposefully spilt my 44oz. cup of water on myself at work, because spending the rest of the day in soaking wet pants was less embarrassing than letting people know I'd pissed myself. FML
Today, at work, I wet my pants. I had to throw my tighty-whities away. Since I didn't have underwear on, I chafed real bad and got a rash on my butthole and near my balls. I had to push my boyfriend off of me, all because it hurt too much to touch. FML
Today, I went to get blood and urine tests done before work. As I was attempting to aim into the cup, I lost balance and slipped. I ended up peeing on my sleeves and my pants. I was late for work and I smelled like pee. FML
Today, I tried to open my water bottle, which is like trying to open a pickle jar, and after several seconds, it exploded all over my desk and clothes. Then, when I was going to get paper towels and a change of clothes, I slipped on the puddle and hit my head on my desk as I came crashing down. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Yeah, women just don't understand shrinkage.

You have a pretty valid complaint to make to HR. Of course, you then have to keep reliving the humiliation but that was pretty unprofessional on her part. (You may also have misinterpretted her laughter. Was it from nervousness? Some people do that. )

Maybe it was, "Ha, ha, ha, that thing is so huge, it's ridiculous! How would I even get that in me? Hee, hee, hee! I'll bet he gets dizzy when he gets a hard-on, all that blood flowing out of his head. Ho, ho, ho!"

YDI for having a small penis. I'm #32!!!! Yippee! Yay! Geez...

Which is ridiculous, because if you're being careless enough to drop a strong acid, you truly do deserve it. That shit's dangerous; be careful!

Wow I feel sorry for you truly an FML. Be more careful next time though.

You could probably file a complaint for the fact that they watched you shower.

Not really. The emergency chemical showers are out in the open, so it's not like they were peeping. And the boss probably should be watching to make sure everything's okay.

Instead of being upset over getting laughed at be thankful you didn't get burns I had a second degree burn on my hand it's excurtiating pain. Be thankful your okay

How do you know he didn't? If he's using the emergency shower, I'm betting he did get burns.

I've spilled hydrochloric on myself too. Shit burns =PI think think the acid is the bigger FML than the coworker, if she's a bitch then just say **** it and ignore her.

are you sure it was HCl? that stuff evaporates when it touches skin and isn't supposed to burn warm living flesh... sulphuric acid on the other hand will burn the hell outta you

HCl is strong than Sulphuric. It burns right through you like a knife through butter.

Dude, I've seen that before!! It also said not to worry, that the lab professor/person in charge would make sure that everybody left the room. I found that pretty hard to believe seeing as during that scene, the dude's friend was just STANDING THERE, staring down with a dumb-assed look on his face.

Sorry, but I don't really sympathize with you... If you're handling acids, you don't *accidentally* spill them on yourself. Be careful. Not only are you going to get major burns, but it's completely unprofessional to be that clumsy. On the other hand though, it sucks that your boss and coworker saw you like that. Why were they in the room, anyway? That just seems... odd

No matter how careful you are, anyone can have an accident. I think he'd only deserve it if he was like... juggling bottles of acid or doing something else dangerous.

Every scientist has their one big accident. Mine was when I stabbed my arm with a soldering gun. I can still see the pink spot. If the OP spills HCl a second time, then we shall laugh.

What do you mean you don't "accidentally" spill them on yourself? No matter what you are doing an accident is just that an accident. Yeah it is so unprofessional to be human. I really can't stand people who think they are above human nature. Like it or not you are human and sh!t happens. Don't judge others for being able to admit they make mistakes.

Continue to say bullshit about how "unprofessional" it is to spill dangerous shit like HCl, that way you'll feel properly ashamed if you were to spill say, boiling water, oil, or other stuff like that. Then you can post an FML and we can all mock you for being careless, since its obviously not an accident.

Really? because I'm pretty sure you don't spill highly corrosive chemicals on yourself on purpose...

#71 apparently lacks reading comprehension... of course it's still an accident.

You should have asked her what she thought HCl would do to silicone... or tell her u've heard HCl works wonders on cellulite
