Today, I was helping my friend put up a wooden fence at his new house. I was holding the sections of fence up while he nailed them in with an air powered nail gun. The gun malfunctioned and fired twice putting the second nail through my hand and into the wood. We had to pry the nail out. FML

Today I had a narrow escape with a nailgun that nailed my workboot to the floor but luckily missed my foot. After I calmed down and changed boots I returned to the nailgun, started working again and barely 30 seconds later I managed to nail my thumb to a piece of wood. Man, I'm bad at my job. FML

Today, I taught my friend how to use a staple gun. She taught me how to get staples out of my hand. FML

Today, I was at my friend's house. We were looking at her dad's guns, and I was explaining gun safety and how you should never put your finger on the trigger. I then shot a hole in the floor of her house. FML

Today, our 9 year-old son managed to shoot himself in the gut with my nail gun. According to my wife, this is completely my fault, because I ONLY kept it in my locked garage, ONLY secured in its box, ONLY completely disconnected from the power, ONLY on the highest shelf near the roof. FML

Today, while trying to pull a nail out of some wood with a crowbar in my theatre class, my girlfriend, who was holding down the wood with her foot, thought it would be funny to move her foot and make me lose my balance. Instead, the crowbar flew up and struck me in the nuts. FML

Today, as I was pulling into my driveway, I hit my fence. The same fence that I had repaired last week because I had run into it. FML

Today, I was at my friends' farm and we decided that we wanted to go to their old treehouse. When we got down there, it turned out my friend Cat had forgotten her shoes. Being a gentleman, I lent her my sandals. I then climbed the treehouse, fell out, and got a nail through my foot. FML

Wow everyone said Jesus. But I wonder if you can't turn this around. Cool scar? Go out with a Catholic chick, tell her you got stigmata from praying and this is the first. Or that you were trying to see how Jesus feels. Instant lay.

This is a true FML. A permanent scar for life, albeit in a short experience that can be laughed about later.

You do realize you could have tetanus if you haven't gotten the vaccine? YDI for not calling 911

Are you serious? 911 gets enough calls for real problems. Most people are vaccinated for tetanus and if the wound was bad then they could just go to the emergency room. I've been injured worse than a nail through the hand (cutting halfway through my finger for example) and still haven't used 911. It's meant for life-threatening issues...

If he is nailed to a board, he can call 911. 911 was called when my friend broke her wrists on a class trip. He should have gotten the doctors to unstick him.
