Ever hurt yourself stupidly?

Not really a stupid injury, but a good story about not realizing what's going on.

I have a pull-up bar in my room... one of those big metal constructs with the elevated pushup things, and the dip handle things. Well, for space reasons, I have the pushup bars removed, so there are these metal openings, which I put duct tape over for saftey... well, since duct tape doesn't last forever, and I know where they are, I never worried about stubbing my toe.

A few months back, I slammed my little toe against it--just barely grazing the metal. It hurt like hell, but I didn't even look down. So I'm still walking around my room and doing stuff. A few moments later, I look down and see there are these rather large red spots on the carpet... and then I look down to see my toe is gushing blood because the metal grazed off a majority of the skin on my little toe.

So, the moral of this story is, when you injury yourself, check and see if you're intact, or you might be spending 30 minutes cleaning up blood.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
