Today, it was my first day working as a dental assistant, leaving me in charge of all cleaning. The first patient was so scared, he peed his pants. Which might have been understandable if he hadn't been a fully grown man. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at my job as a dental assistant and I was told to take an X-ray of a woman's teeth. As soon as I put the foam piece into her mouth, she projectile-vomited all over me and the floor. I had just started my 5-hour shift. FML
Today, I started my first day at work. When I used the bathroom, I thought I was peeing into the bowl but it was actually leaking out. My pants kindly cleaned up the mess. FML
Today, I rushed to a dentist's appointment. Once in the chair, I apologized for not having had the time to brush my teeth beforehand. He responded with, "Ah that's alright, I just took a piss and forgot to wash my hands." FML
Today, I was at work at my local hospital. I went to the toilet to empty my bladder; the door was half open so I assumed it was empty. Upon opening the door, I was greeted with a half naked old man, who then yelled at me and violently shat himself, all over the walls and floor. FML
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML
Today, while working at my salon, I was cutting an older gentleman's hair. When he got up to leave, everyone noticed he had clearly pissed his pants. I felt bad for him until he laughed and said, "Here's your tip, have fun cleaning that up." FML
Today, I went to the orthodontist. The lady took a break and went to use the restroom. Apparently she didn't bother to take her gloves off, and they smelled like straight up pee. She had her hands in my mouth for over an hour. FML
Today, was my first day of work in my life. I was excited, and so was my dad, who saw me to the door and ruffled my hair as he wished me luck. I didn't notice until half an hour after arriving at work that he'd stuck his gum in my hair. Nobody bothered to tell me. FML
Today, at my dental practice, we received a shipment of the stupid flavoured gloves my boss ordered to make the place more "friendly to the kids". I started working in an adult patient's mouth, when he decided to start creepily making out with my fingers. FML
Today, while working at my new job at a veterinary hospital, I was excited that I set a urinary catheter in a dog for the first time. I guess I was a little too enthusiastic though, because I pulled it out too fast and bloody urine splashed up all over my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Going to the dentist is terrifying. Next time hand him a couple of stickers, a lollipop, and a diaper.

Hey guys, this is OP I know being afraid of the dentist doesn’t change with age, but the embarrassment and amount of urine to clean up definitely do. This happened somewhere last summer when I replaced my mom during the holidays, so I don’t have any dental-training or whatsoever. However, since I only cleaned the instruments, answered the phone and made coffee, I didn’t expect to deal with anything else anyways. His appointment was to have a couple of cavities filled, but he hadn’t really taken care of his teeth since the appointment had been made, as he had to have another one filled as well. That was one too much, apparently. I felt really bad for him, but the dentists were nice and understanding. Since I only was there for a summer, I’m not sure he’s ever come back. As a side note, a couple of weeks later there actually was a guy who shat his pants. The other assistants said they never had to clean up any form of excrements, so I guess I’m just lucky?

Nothing quite like being the new guy and having to deal with a full on biohazard first thing... And those chairs would be a total nightmare to clean. So many nooks and crannies and mechanical bits. I hope whoever's in charge of the office paid you super well.

I've had my lip badly burnt, and cut by a drill, a dental surgeon dig around looking for a tooth that was not there because he had the X-ray back to front and a root canal done on the wrong tooth. I'm terrified of dentists, not to the point where I have peed my pants, but I do cry and get very upset. It may seem 'irrational' but it's a very real fear to me. An adult has more to fear from a dentist sometimes than a child. A few bad experiences, your adrenaline gets going and local anaesthetic does not work as well, even with valium and nitrous oxide. I hope your empathy improves OP because I would like someone to hold my hand when I am scared, not complain that you had to clean up the chair, even if it's an adult.

Sounds like my next visit. I haven't been in seven years and probably have cavities and impacted wisdom teeth.

I am almost 32. I now get panic attacks like crazy when I step into a dentist's office. This is rather recent, I have no idea why, but the poor guy is probably really embarrassed :/

"Which might have been understandable if he hadn't been a fully grown man" – because of that statement, YDI. Fear and anxiety about the dentist are not things that have age limits.
