Today, I got a bad cut on my dominant hand while at work. My boss decided to order me to juice lemons... all 300 of them. FML

Today, I cut my finger at work while chopping some vegetables. I grabbed the nearest rag I could to stop the bleeding and put it on the cut. I didn't know the rag had just been used to clean up a lemon juice spill. FML

Today, I was cooking dinner for my children, managing for once not to screw up and hurt myself. Then, while chopping vegetables, I accidentally sliced my finger open. The same finger that was still covered in juice from a lemon I'd just squeezed. 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, 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

Today, I cut my hand on nothing while at work. It bled so much, I began to feel woozy, and everyone kept brushing me off when I asked where the first aid kits were. 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

isn't that unhygienic to be juicing lemons with a open wound, could easily get some blood in there and spread hep C.

The citric acid will clean your cut. Besides if you are working with food, you should have gloves on.

YDI For not using gloves.

I'd assume that, if you are at a workplace where you need to juice lemons, you should have gloves handy. Therefore, you should use them.

Wow, pretty sure it requires two hands to juice something. Use your head!

what if OP had a birthdefect? they might only have one hand. insensitive bastard..

That's not me being insensitive, that's me pointing out that they can't assume OP only has one hand. Though, I should have worded it differently. Afterthought: It would still be hard to have to juice something with only one hand. Two hands makes it easier. That was part of my point.

YDI for having a food prep job, for having a job at all, for having a shitty boss and not telling him to **** himself, for being a klutz, for being a wuss, and for even having hands at all. Mutant. Suck it up, Cupcake. Lemon juice isn't half as bad as tomato juice.

Today, I noticed I spend most of my day translating French, German, and other languages for my boss, as he talks to people overseas. As his assistant I make crap money. If I were promoted to a Translator I’d make a lot more. He won’t promote me. In fact he threatened to fire me if I asked again. FML
