Today, my friend convinced me that a staple gun doesn't work on skin. I decided to put this new piece of information to the test. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I taught my friend how to use a staple gun. She taught me how to get staples out of my hand. FML
Today, my roommate showed me that her pepper spray had expired, so I decided to test it on myself. It worked. FML
Today, I gave in and let my friend give me a makeover. She couldn't find my eyelash curler, but decided that if she used scissors lightly, it would work just the same. Needless to say, it did not work. FML
Today, I was trying to remove a temporary tattoo my friend put on my cheek. When warm water and soap didn't work, I tried something else. Just so you know, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers do not, in fact, work by magic. Tell that to the massive chemical burn covering half my face. FML
Today, I shat out a staple. 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, 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 got several thumbtacks jabbed into me. Why? Because my cousin thought it would be a funny prank to superglue a bunch of thumbtacks to his nerf darts. My left forearm is still bleeding. FML
Today, I tried to impress my girlfriend by punching through a piece of old drywall karate kid-style. As it turns out, the drywall was actually a thin piece of concrete. I now have a busted hand and a girlfriend with a new story to tell all her friends. FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Since you're not using it, would you donate your brain to science? They could use it to study the null-brain.

You should have tried it on your friend.

How do you not understand what he said? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

You need Mythbusters to tell you whether or not staple guns work on skin?

No, no, you're friend is right! The guns have sensors that detect soft tissue 99.99% of the time and will refuse to fire. Something must have gone horribly wrong, you must have been pressing too lightly or on tissue that was too hard. Try again. This time use a different stapler gun and choose the muscle between your thumb and your first finger (this is the tissue that the sensors are calibrated against in the lab) and press down hard. Let me know how it goes.

Sometimes they use the labia for calibration. Try the gun there next.

You're an idiot, but seriously, it doesn't work on the tongue.

The ratio of FYL vs. YDI is currently at 88:1287. What's the most extreme ratio for a FML post?
