Any other clumsy people on here??
I was just rounding off my studying and was going to prepare dinner before the parents get home . . . . . First onion and I'm already missing the top off my left index finger
bled so much I had to phone my dad to bandage it up! Was a two man job!!
Jeez, anyone else a tad on the clumsy side?My therapist says I need a bigger tank . . . . .

Once cut a "V" into to tip of my thumb while cleaning a Meat Slicer. Not exactly as bad as what you described, but made me feel ultra dumb for a long time. I still feel the gritty grindy feeling of steel inside my thumb <<=== A phantom feeling.

That sucks...and hurts...and hurts while it heals...
I was having a macho moment and decided to chop wood. I'm not overly coordinated at the best of times...and missed the wood and chopping block entirely and hit my foot with the axe.
In that moment of numbness...as I stared at the hole in my boot...I wondered if I was going to be down a shoe size...
A nice man took my boot off for me (we were camping with a group of kids)...washed the blood off...and it wasn't too bad...but I have a nice thick white scar on my right big toe...

I sometimes trip over my own feet while walking.
And on Sunday I was out of sorts and smashed an egg getting it out of the fridge... all down my night shirt (breakfast eggs... don't judge me!) and into the lower level door pocket of the fridge... that I had just washed out a couple days ago.

Sorry you got a boo-boo. Not as good as me cutting off the tip of my nose while shaving my armpits a few years back, tho.
