Today, while cleaning up, I dropped a box of thumbtacks, spilling them all over the floor. As I fumbled to pick them up, the power went out. FML

You must have been on carpet, else you could have slid along the floor pretty easily instead of stepping. I realize the recent trend has been to post lots of puns in the comments, but here that would just be tacky.

You humped the floor at this point, right?

haha. what do you even do in that situation?

Hope you didn't get stabbed by too many of them. One solution would be to skim your hand over the floor too low to get stabbed, so you could pik then up, but there's really no way of telling if you got them all unless you happen to know exactly how many tacks you have and how many you'd picked up.

Nothing like a bunch of tacky comments!

Ah this would suck. I had this happen to me, but it was with sewing needles. hehe.

I say it's your fault for using metal thumb tacks instead of the foam and rubber safety ones that my supervisors make me use. It's very hard to hurt yourself with them but I've tried my best.

See this is an FML. A everyday thing, not something like "Today, my bf did this etc" I am soo sic of those! FYL! that must of killed ur feet. lol

Lol it would have been painfully funny if you slipped and fell after the power went out, landing on the thumbtacks. But that idea is too tacky, isn't it? Guess I'm not very sharp!

All you would have to do is getsega Tenshou the floor to make yourself a path and then flash step to another room.
