Call a friend or a neighbor to help you!
Ice the area, once it is numb you can squeeze it out. If you don't you could use the tweezers and a sterile needle! Ice it frequently to keep it numb till you get it out!
One last thing you might want to try if you do not like the other methods is;
Pore a good amount of glue, "Not" supper glue, something like Elmer's glue on the area, wait till it is completely dry, then peel it upwards.
Good Luck!

try soaking it in WARM (almost hot) salted water for a half hour or so. the heat will open the wound, so you can pull the shard of glass out. salt helps to pull the toxins out of the skin and will help prevent infection. of course, if you're bleeding, none of this is a good idea -- see a doc.

does'nt that hurt like a *****? I stepped on millions of shards big and small at once...ouch. Just pull it out, it will hurt for a couple seconds, but not enough to bring you to tears, besides if you leave it, you might end up stepping on it and make it go in deeper

If you're not bleeding badly, ice it until you can get help.
If you are bleeding badly, call emergency!
