Received thousands of dollars in student loans, then dropped out of college. Twice. Untreated severe depression & anxiety is a hell of a thing. Something more along the lines of the other stories in this thread, once when I was in middle/high school (old enough to know better), I was home by myself and I found an object that I thought looked kind of like a weird knife, but I wasn't sure and I wanted to test how sharp it was. The object? A box-cutter. The thing I tested it on? My thumb. This is when my family started joking "Keep sharp objects away from him!" Then a couple years ago, I was trying to take a lawn sprinkler out of packaging, and was using a pocket knife to cut some zip-ties. Next thing I knew, I lost control of the knife, and with one quick motion, I had two bleeding holes in the meat of my lower thumb. The knife had gone *through* my hand, going in and and coming out on the same side. I had to go to the emergency room for that one, got seven stitches. Best part, afterwards I went back to the sprinkler, and the zip-tie that I was trying to cut when I stabbed myself? Didn't need to be cut, the sprinkler could have been slipped from the tie and removed from the packaging at that time without cutting it. This is when I stopped getting annoyed by the joking and realized my family really did have a point (no pun intended). One time I was slicing a bunch of jalapenos, and somehow managed to not cut, stab, or impale myself. Nope! Instead I just carelessly rubbed my eye afterwards, then decided the best thing to do when the burning started was to remove my contacts. From both eyes. Not a fun night.

Gabriel Pope posted:When I was 9 or 10 I tried making cinammon toast for myself. By putting butter and cinammon sugar on the bread before it went in the toaster. Then when it came out blackened and smoking, I decided it was just a fluke so I did it again I was just about to ask what's wrong with doing it that way, then I remembered there's a difference between a toaster and a toaster oven. Putting the butter, cinnamon & sugar on before cooking works with a toaster oven, and that's always what we used when I was growing up.
