Today, I was working at Staples and organizing some notebooks. All of a sudden, I jumped up because of a sharp pain in my back. A little girl had grabbed a stapler and stapled my back. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I accidentally stapled my finger to a piece of paper. It hurt, but I took it out and went to restaple it. I did it again. FML
Today, while joking with my coworkers about how I shouldn't be trusted with a stapler because I managed to accidentally staple my finger last week, I stapled another finger. FML
Today, I was forced to work with someone I absolutely hate. I then found myself starting to like him, until he shot me in the forehead with a stapler gun. FML
Today, I had an unbearable itch on my foot that I could not make go away with my nails, so I grabbed the stapler in my drawer to scratch it with. Bad idea. FML
Today, I managed to staple my finger while showing my kindergartner class how to properly use one. FML
Today, at work, I went to place a small item on a shelf. The shelf fell on me, trapping my hand. While lifting it, the top shelf fell against my chest and the products all dumped on my face. I then realized the shelves were only held up by zip ties. FML
Today, I was leaning under a counter to get my girlfriend her favorite snack food out of a low cabinet when she decided it would be funny to poke me while I was in an awkward position. I jerked up, rammed my head on the bottom of the counter, and ended up at the ER with staples in my head. FML
Today, I was working the cash register. While helping a customer with her groceries, my bra snapped. I then had to ask my male boss if I could staple it back together. Thirty minutes later it snapped again. I then had to explain to my boss that I was too broke to buy a new one. FML
Today, my bra burst apart in the middle of class. I then had the privilege of asking my male teacher if I could borrow his stapler to put it back together. FML
Today, I was at work copying some papers. The copier is below a shelf with lots of paper and signage, which suddenly flew off the hinge and hit me in the head as well as the copier. My boss ran in, asking, "Is the copier okay?" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Dear *Whoever corrects these*, "All of a sudden" is not proper grammar, it's suddenly.
llamafish 25
And you should have used a semicolon after grammar, not a comma.

#29: I was under the impression that FMLs are not supposed to be written formally. Therefore, saying "all of a sudden" isn't a big deal. It's a colloquialism (I think that's right) not an error.

I knew I'd get thumbed down because no one here cares about grammar because this site is informal. Whatever, I'm just saying "all of a sudden" sounds stupid. I know I'll get thumbed down for this too because everyone here is a troll and no one can think freely.. -_-

114 - OP wanted to be sure that everyone knew it wasn't just part of a sudden, it was all of it.

Practice what you preach, 114. Your grammar isn't 100% perfect.
ScaughtieHolden 11
I'm glad 122 sees my point. 129, what did I do wrong? I'd love to know. (I'm serious, not trying to be an ass, hah)

All of a sudden is a really common thing to say and therefore common to write. To say that people who use it aren't thinking freely seems downright backwards. If anything people who refuse to use common everyday terms simply because it "sounds stupid" or doesn't fit their view of "correct grammar" would be the closed minded ones. I have nothing against you I just think that before you accuse others of trolling and not being free thinkers you should really stop and realize that's literally exactly what you did to get this conversation started.

ADSF ... good one ^^

What a pro she is.... She must teach me how to do that.
GoW_Chick 15
Well you see you pick up the stapler, then put it to someones back and push, that click followed by a loud scream means it's working...
ICATiger 13
That ways easy I talking about the way you shoot the staples at the victim. (If possible)
GoW_Chick 15
You could use a staple gun, but I don't think they sell those at staples, could always bring your own.

Staple gun party at Staples! BYOSG! Nice.

#13- you cant just pick up a stapler, you have to choose the right one for you, the is the classic, swift, automatic, grip, non grip, gel, transparent, custom design, etc. dont gt me started on the staples themselves...

The stapler chooses the stapler-wielder

I'm surprised no one had mentioned the fact that OP works at staples and got stapled on the back.

Putting your stupid punchline in all caps does not change the fact that it's a stupid punchline.

You must not of had enough staples in you, she just wanted you to be true to the name...

Nice attempt, stapler puns aren't that easy to make. Next time, try to hold it together better ;-)
GoW_Chick 15
Meh, I got a chuckle out of it, that's all that matters right, so I could really care less about pleasing anyone else with my comments.

ouch

If it was a regular stapler, it wouldn't hurt that much as long as OP was wearing a shirt. Also I stapled my finger by accident when I was 7 and it didn't hurt that much
