Remember when I sliced my thumb open on a cream canister? Wow fun times.

    I once had to go to the ER to get stitches on my finger because I cut myself at work.

    How did I cut myself? What did I have to tell the lady from corporate who was handling my work incident claim?

    I reached into my pocked to get money for a Diet Coke, and my razor blade (for cutting open boxes, not killing coworkers, however tempting) was just ever so slightly open.

    So basically, I sliced my finger open, and had to file reams of paperwork because I put my hand in my pocket.

      My roommate sprained her thumb pulling up her underwear. She had to explain that to the nurse at the ER.

        When I was a child I sliced my foot open because I was swinging on my hands between a chair and the bench and hit the bench corner with my foot…

        My little brother and I both got the same injury within days of each other, both from somersaulted on our parents bed too far and too fast that we hit the dresser on the other side with our eyebrow ridge; he got stitches, I didn’t (I got salty about that. I’ve still never had external stitches)

      We recently had two ambulances at work, one for someone who had sliced their finger on a microtome knife and the second one for the person who fainted after seeing the accident.

      The best thing about the cream canister incident was that it was also all my fault.

      I have a very strong twisting wrist. I can often open jars my brothers and father cannot. I turn off taps too tightly. I screw on bottle lids too tightly.
      It tends to break the taps and annoy people even when I do it unintentionally.

      I used to work in a cafe which had one of those automatic whipped cream things which had liquid nitrogen capsules attached to it to whip the cream for you if you shook it.
      I had to change the nitrogen canister but I’d done up the lid too tight.
      It can open all of a sudden with all my force behind it and my thumb spun round and hit- I’m still not sure what but I think it was a sharp steel edge to the squeezey lever for letting cream out, split open my right thumb right along the knuckle. I may have hit bone, idk.
      I couldn’t use my thumb properly for several weeks.

    I’ve already posted my embarrassing trip-over-my-cat-and-get-12-stitches story.

    Gosh @sicarius you made me wince just at the thought.

    Take care of your hands. Talking of which, I miss your drawings. Is there such a thing as ShitDoodle? DB had those during Level 7 Civil Servant days, they were hilarious.

    What’s up with these injuries. I just sliced my thumb from the cutting edge of a saran wrap box yesterday. -__-
