lmao like 3 weeks ago for some reason the top of my big toe like dried up cracked and bled one night (not like athletes foot though) and I have no idea why. I made a little splint so it could heal without me bending my toe and cracking it, and applying light moisturizer carefully, it's almost healed, medical bill avoided

Oh another fun one is ganglion cysts are easily treated by absolutely crushing your hand with a textbook

    Sliced my hand open with a miter saw (reached for material before it stopped spinning like a big ol' dummy). Cut 3 fingers, one to the bone. Slapped some subfloor glue on that baby and wrapped it in duct tape. Hurt like a motherfucker but I figure I did a good job cause the scars are basically disappeared.

      Oh god that makes me wince. I'm super big on safety in shops/garages/etc. I always try to tackle a car on stands. As a result, I only hurt my self a little bit on every project. I avoid the big oopsies for the most part.

      I had a coworker put some brake fluid that was about to overflow into an empty beer bottle, my empty beer bottle. I spit it out but i was afraid for 2 weeks that i ingested some and that the minor back pain I felt from lifting a wheel in a cramped garage was actually kidney failure. I was so pissed and he didn't give a shit.

        I'm a big fan of safety until it's like 4:30 pm and if I can just hammer out the rest of this hardwood floor I can finish it and wont have to work tomorrow so I gotta go fast and FUCK DAMN IT.

        Now I gotta work tomorrow :(
