I HATE IT when...........

[somegirl]

Couple of years ago I was making a pie with one of these immersion blenders



and accidentally blended my finger.

How does that even happen??

...back in the day...before mig welders were common in body shops...

we brazed new panels on.

I was laying under a firebird brazing a quarter panel on...

reached for a new stick...right across the torch flame...













































































































owwww.

So embarrassingly stupid...after all those years of working safely in chemistry labs too.

The blade was getting jammed up with the pie crust I was making. 

I don't use the immersion blender much, but I do use a little electric coffee grinder, and had gotten in the habit of clearing it out with my finger as the grinder doesn't work with the lid off.

Well there is no such safety on the blender.  Had my left forefinger on the blade cleaning it, forgot to unplug the blender, kept my right hand on the button and accidently bumped it on for a split second.  Luckily I had it on the lowest setting, and luckily it was the fingernail side facing the blade.  Took a few months to grow the nail back.

Now I unplug it and use a utensil to clean it out.

Good idea...

what  i really hate is when i realize "right after the fact" that i should have just lost a finger to the router/table saw,etc... (pick your evil cutting implement)

i hate this because it means i am getting tired/in a hurry/ not paying attention.

and because i just used up one more little ounce of luck.............

y'know what else is fun? by the time the drill/end mill/whatever exploded on ya, you have juuuust enough time to realise that you, in fact, did not get hit by shrapnel

A dude I talked to crashed on the track a few years back and got a steering damper through his left nut.

I was painting something silver wasn't paying attention and grabbed the paint can off the ground and didn't check what direciton the tip was pointing pressed down and painted my left eye silver.  Not my eye lid either my eye ball then i spent the next 45 minutes flushing out my eye.

not really painful but it was one of my better dipshit moves i have done.

Several years ago I was *ahem* relieving some tension before going to bed.  I had been going at it quite a while, and when I finally released...BAM I got a big 'ol wad in my right eye

I hate it when I am just about to pick my bike up after it's been getting repaired for 3 months and 2 weeks before I pick it up, I break my fricken toe!
