Today, my manager bailed on me during the afternoon rush; swamped and distracted, I cut off the pad of my thumb in a cheese slicer. Some clinic hours later I returned, hungry and sick with blood loss, to sign WC papers. Manager's only words: "You're staying late to cover your long break, right?" FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my manager gave me hell for leaving the restaurant early yesterday. Guilty as charged, but only because I was rushed to the hospital after going into diabetic shock. This assmunch is convinced that I either faked it all to get off work early, or that I'd been eating our own stock. FML
Today, my psycho boss snatched a file from my hand so aggressively that I got a papercut. She then scolded me for bleeding on the papers. FML
Today, I cut my finger deep on an envelope at work and started bleeding profusely. When I asked my co-worker for a band-aid, she told me to get back to work and stop making up excuses to try and hit on her. FML
Today, I was working at a fast food restaurant when I cut my hand. There was a good amount of blood flowing out so I ran to my manager and asked where the first aid kit was. He then picked up a washcloth and some tape and handed it to me. FML
Today, my manager said I could go on a break when he came back from his. After 7 hours with him still missing, I started to get dizzy. I ended up passing out and hitting my head on a ladder from lack of food. I woke up in the hospital to a card from my manager saying, "Get Well. Don't Sue." FML
Today, I had a nosebleed at work after having recent surgery. As I was walking to the bathroom, I tripped and fell, sending blood splattering everywhere. My manager, who was walking by, looked at me and said, “You’re really committed to the bit.” I was too embarrassed to respond. FML
Today, I was making a shake at work when the cup fell off the blender. I went to catch it, and instead caught the teeth of the still-spinning mixer. When my hand was still bleeding five minutes later, my supervisor told me to clock out until it stopped. I lost money for getting hurt on the job. FML
Today, while drilling holes in "No Smoking" signs for my job, I gave myself a minor cut that would appear to most as a papercut. I then had to fill out 3 double-sided pages of paperwork. FML
Today, I was working in a deli when I cut more meat than I intended; I basically removed my fingerprint via the deli slicer. FML
Today, I'm a cashier in a grocery store. The visiting regional manager tore me a new one for being lazy. His reason? After working a double shift with no break, I decided to sit down for a minute when things got slow. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I HATE bosses that pull that shit on you! They can bail on you or take as many breaks as you want, but you have to make up for every second you miss for whatever reason, even if it means you were in the hospital during that time.

#7, the posters boss is most certainly not a fag, I don't thing any **** in their right mind would do that to someone. As for the post, time for a new job! As much as I hate my job, the only thing that keeps me there is the fact that I have an awesome boss, I work in our downtown area and there was a concert going on outside and my boss said, "Go ahead, I know you wanna go, I wish I could go."

You were "sick with blood loss" from just cutting off the pad of your thumb? Unless you have some kind of blood clotting disorder where you bleed excessively, I find that hard to believe.

actually cutting the pad of ur thumb is a very serious due the fact it expose ur muscle,which makes it very painful.

Unless you've ever completely cut off the pad of your thumb you should stop being such a ******* douchebag. I hate people who try and judge others negatively because they think they're not in as much pain as they say they are.

#10 the stores insurance will only pay if you file the proper paperwork otherwise the store and/or you would have to pay #15 it is possible without a bleeding disorder have you ever cut off a finger pad especially being a cook and being in a hot kitchen you can bleed a lot. FYL, happened to me... the first thing i did when i get to the rush was cut my finger pad Almost off. i then try to call a server to the back so she can tell the customers about the delay but she is a bitch and gives me shit till i yell at her (which i got in trouble for) it takes a lot of paper towels to get the bleeding to stop enough for me to get back on the line. get through the rush call the boss and had to wait 4 hours for him to replace me. 2 hours at the doctor and a few stitches later I return to work and the boss goes home and he still claims i am the worst employee. shit i chose to return and as i waited for him i was still cooking and doing prep. hope it heals up well for you.
