stuipid move
Thought I would change the tires over to the Summer Toyo AT open countties today, grabbed my 18" screw driver to pop the stock hub covers, had a small problem getting these little things to pop. Took a, smaked down on it with a pretty good clip, screw driver went a flying, and pierced my upper lip...LMFAO!!
I am guessing, it should be good for about 3 stiches, 40 if you are a plastic surgen ( exageration ). God I love when an a easy thing goes South.

I still have a scar on my left pinky finger from working on my old Chevy once... I'm sure every one of us on here has had a "here's your sign" moment at least once. Hell, I've had a few where I saw it coming and so did someone else but I still did it anyways!

OW!!! Oh that sucks! But don't feel too bad...I think most have done something like that...As 1996pwrstrk said, "Hold my beer and watch this"
and F350-6's signature......We all learn..one way or another. I swear I saw it happeniing, thought OH CRAP...This is gonna hurt...but I just couldn't stop myself...wound up shaking hands with a table saw. (I taped the guard up out of the way for a custom cut). Luckily I didn't loose but an 1/8 inch on one finger and the loss of bending the end knuckle on another...I still have have all 12..um 10 fingers.

The funnist/dumbest one, leaning over a machine tool table, pulling a tapered dowel pin out with a slide hammer, leaning over just a little more to see why the thing isnt coming, pop, dowel pin comes out, slide hammer nails me in the nose, hammer+nose="busted"

Yep, it's happened to all of us at least once.
I drilled a hole through my left index finger once with a pneumatic drill and a 3/32" drill bit. Went through the piece of aluminum that I was working with and right through my finger on the other side, that fast. I casually reached up and rotated the chuck backwards and backed it right on out while my coworker laughed.

Scott, that hurts just thinking about it.
A few years ago I was opening the boom on my crop sprayer, like I had done hundreds of times before, but I had my hand where it shouldn't have been and cut about an inch off a finger. I had gloves on so had to take it off to see how bad it was. Didn't like what I saw so put the glove back on. Had to fold the boom back up and drive 1/2 mile to the house. The wife wrapped the finger in a rag soaked in milk and drove the half hour to the hospital. The doctor didn't think that the finger was worth saving since it was held on by only a piece of skin. He said he would try. Five days later he checked it and said "It's pink!!!", meaning it had started to heal rather than die. I still give credit to the wife putting that milk soaked rag on it to help keep it alive before surgery. Needless to say, I pay more attention to where my hands are when I open the boom now. I'm sure we all can relate to the line in Chris's signature!

I have no working nerve endings in my left calf muscle (reconstructive surgery from a water skiing accident), anyway, I was using my framing nailer when I was building my privacy fence at our new house, I didnt realize that my sight was "off" a little till i looked down and saw two two 3 1/2" nails sticking out of my calf. I casually reached down and pulled them out,as my nieghbor (who was now holding the nailer) proceded to shoot a nail through his hand and nail himself to the fence.
