Today, at 9 o’clock in the morning while I was working, I made the mistake of being comfortable with a machine that literally bends and breaks steel bars. I lost my entire middle finger and the top third of my pinky and ring fingers. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, during a workplace safety exercise at work, I managed to cut off the tip of my thumb. FML
Today, I smashed my finger with a hammer. A finger on the hand holding the hammer. FML
Today, while demonstrating our new meat slicer at work, and after sharpening the blade at the end of the demonstration, I noticed some metal powder. I grabbed a rag to wipe it off, not realizing the blade was still in the “open” position. I now have six stitches and a really painful finger. FML
Today, while I was at work in a machine shop, I cut myself really bad. Not with any of the sharp tools, drills, or metals I work with. Just the soap dispenser. FML
Today, at my first day of my dream job, I dropped a delicate $700 piece of machinery on the ground. 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 accidentally slammed a door on my own arm flab. FML
Today, at work on a construction site, my coworker dropped a small piece of metal from 4 stories, and it struck another worker. We quickly began to climb down to see if the person was OK, and the same coworker dropped a metal pole, and crushed my hand, two minutes after the first accident. 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, at work, yet another inappropriately stacked pallet fell on me. I thought for sure that I just hit a nerve. Nope, I fractured my arm. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Where is is tall man, where is tall man? In the machine. In the machine. It bit off my finger, it bit off my finger. Hear me scream. Hear me scream.

You lost your whole middle finger? How are you going to be able to drive now? I use my middle finger to drive more than my turn signals, horn and windshield wipers combined!

Easy, OP literally said he was getting too comfortable around it. Heavy machinery, or any machinery capable of bending, breaking, or removing something that is much stronger than flesh and bone should always be feared and respected. OP failed to follow that rule, and learned what happens when you don't.
