Many moons ago I fucked up and will never forget this story.
My friend and I was decorating his new flat, and everything went fine right up until the part where he had a magnetic knife holder that I just had to admire up close.
I took a big serrated knife (it was pretty darn sharp) and put it on the knife holder. I looked at it for a few seconds and thought of how cool it was, that a magnet could keep it in place.
Here is where the fuck up happens: For some stupid reason, my dumbass brain thinks: Let's see if it can also hold on to the knife if it's turned horizontal.
Turns out it couldn't and the knife dropped down onto my foot.
I wore a pretty thick pair of dark blue socks and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary, except that I felt a small sting when it dropped.
Turns out I had cut one of my toes really deep, but was lucky not to cut any of the nerves or anything controlling the toe.
I had to go to the ER to get 1!!! sting, and because of that 1 sting I was not able to wear socks/shoes for a full week. My boss was not happy about it, as I had to wear safety shoes at any time at my old job then I had to call in sick.
TL;DR: Dropped a knife on my foot and had to call in sick from work for a full week.
