stupid human tricks

well I screwed up, and please forgive punctuation and such in this post, as I'm typing with one hand. My wifes boss asked me to take some wires down at her job, and well as I said I screwed up. I forgot my tools at home, so I used what they had at the store, and all went well till it came time to undo the last 6 zip ties, I broke the scissors, then went looking for something else to use, and found a steak knife, yep u can guess the rest, knife slipped, about 2inches went into the meat of my hand, HOLY CRAP it hurts so yup waiting to goto the doc now, flame on!

nuff said...get well soon, and buy some good scissors

Yeow. Don't guess there will be much self pleasure anytime soon.

hey! were's the pics?

crazy glue!

They don't sell it in large enough bottles!

btdt.... I've found that wire cutters work even better than scissors ..

I used a steak knife to cut a zip tie when I was a kid. Once. Learned that lesson. 90% of steak knives are not actually sharp.

Fortunately nothing bad enough to need stitches. I just have a ~1cm scar on the side of one of my wrists. I only got the tip.

I used two flat head screw drivers to remove most of the stupid interior panel fasteners in the celica. You know... across from either other, one in each hand, pry upwards, and hope they don't slip and rip open your palms?

Yeah. Guess what?

yeah, bout the time we got back to the room, I asked my wife for my phone so I could snag a picture of it, "it's in the truck" "damnit, the guys on the board are gonna want proof of this one". Only three stitches but damn it hurts.

I usually use diagonal cutters for zip ties, but like I said, I left my tools at home, and was "making do"

You know you're GRM when you set your dinner table with "zip-tie removal tools" at each place setting.

oh that just wrong! but oh so right!

My wife's theory is that I just wanted a steak for dinner.

You may not have eaten steak, but a dime to a donut bets you tasted blood..

Did that once, but someone else was holding the knife! I was the holder helper, slammed it right into my thigh.

I'm not very smart but I can lift heavy things....

Nah amazingly I didn't, but it's also quite amazing that I almost passed out looking at it 10 min after it happened. I mean I've been a correctional officer and a first responder, so I've seen plenty of blood, and some nasty accidents, and have never had that reaction.

Perspective are different if it's your own blood.

That was the only thing i could come up with as well.

OUCH!

Getting pins pulled out of my hand almost did the same thing to me. I was watching the doctor use pliers to remove inch long nail looking things that were holding my finger together. I had a big grin on my face and thought it was kinda cool looking. It didnt hurt at all. I suddently started to get all light headed. Was a bit confused at first because i couldnt figure out what was going on. The doctor told me to sit down as i might be about to pass out.

I think it's funny that you said the meat of your hand. A while back, my wife was cooking and sliced her hand open, nice and deep. After we cleaned it, she pulled it open again and said, "Wow, you can see my meat!"
