Today, while working at my job at a nursing home, I slipped and fell. It wouldn't be so bad if it was just water. No, one of the residents had just had an "accident". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I slipped at work while putting out a "wet floor" sign to make sure the customers didn't slip. FML
Today, I slipped on the wet floor at work and sprained my wrist badly. I was carrying the wet floor sign so no one would slip. FML
Today, I had an accident at work. Not the kind involving worker's compensation. The kind involving desperately scrubbing my office chair with paper towels, before going home to change my pants. FML
Today, I was in the kitchen with my mom, who is severely disabled and can barely walk. She suddenly slipped on a puddle of water, so I instinctively grappled her from behind to save her. It took me a moment to realize my hands were accidentally cupping her breasts. She then slipped again and took both of us down. FML
Today, I was at Walmart walking around when I slipped on some water and twisted my ankle. As I was getting up, a man came up to me and said, "There's some water on the floor, watch out." FML
Today, with a single misstep, I managed to send myself and several others tumbling down a stairwell at work. An ambulance ended up having to be called for one lady. FML
Today, I tripped over a "wet floor" sign at work and hit the floor hard. The floor wasn't even wet. FML
Today, while at work I tripped and fell in the pool while moving a waste basket. I nearly drowned and had to be saved. I don't know which is worse the fact that I nearly drowned or the fact that I'm a lifeguard. FML
Today, I was at the water park, when I slipped and fell to the ground in front of the no running sign. I was walking. FML
Today, I was taking a dump at work at a nursing home. While reaching for the toilet paper, I accidently pushed the emergency button. The nursing supervisors broke into the washroom to help. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That must've been very embarrassing..for the resident, of course.

I assure you, that was no accident.

Did you call an ambulance? That's what y'all usually do when someone falls.

I work at a preschool. This is also my daily life but on the other end of the age scale.

It is your job, either deal with it or quit.

Where does they OP that he/she works at a piss 'n' shit Slip-and-Slide? She has the right to feel this was unfortunate.

18, At the point where OP says "I'm working at a nursing home". When dealing with sick, disabled or elderly, things like this are to be expected. If OP can't stand it, this job is not for him/her.

29 - So you've never complained about an aspect of a job before? I find that hard to believe. The simple fact of the matter is, OP slipped in piss and has every right to be annoyed about it.

If she was much more careful and observant, this wouldn't happen. :)

30, "So you've never complained about an aspect of a job before?" Thinking about it, you're probably correct. I don't remember complaining about aspect of a job to a point of declaring it "FML" while employed on that job. By accepting the job you state that you know about job aspects and are prepared to deal with them. If the job turns out to be hard, you're already agreed to deal with it. If the job involves occasional piss accidents, you already to agreed to deal with them. When you signed contract (or verbally accepted the job), you already agreed to accept and deal with all kinds of crap as long as it matches your list of responsibilities. Don't you have any sense of duty, people? If you dislike it, quit and THEN complain how difficult it was as long as you want.

38 - I would be reasonably confident that "Slipping in piss" doesn't fall under OP's list of responsibilities.

Yes, 38, because quitting a job because something unpleasant happened is surely what onedoes out of a sense of duty. You make no sense, man.

41, elderly/disabled/sick people can have piss accidents, so that's part of the job. Slipping in it is OPs fault and is a result of not being careful. 48, If you complain/dislike the job, quit. If you don't wanna quit, don't complain and do your job. Easy.

Slip resistant shoes might have come in handle for events such as these. It could have been one of your patients that slipped and broke a hip! Glad you found it first. :P
