What stupid things have you done?

Out of the corner of my eye I see something drop to the shop floor. As the then-assistant and one who is closest to the shop floor (he's 6'5, I'm 5'0), I bend down, grab it, pick it up and try to hand it to him. It's a 4" long piece of glowing red hot steel ... stuck to my fingers. I won't repeat the word I said just then as it wasn't very ladylike, but rest assured I didn't repeat that stupid move ever again.

sorry, but LOL. My friend from highschool did that to himself with the 318 he was rebuilding for his challenger. He had to heat up the piston, got it nice and red then mindlessly grabbed it and ended up with 3rd degree burns on his hands.

My only "doh" moment happened last year. Shaving down the bumpstops on my truck that had just been lowered and using those cheapo utility knifes that have the machined break away points. anyhow the blade held for awhile and i picked up the bumpstop to slowly cut a groove around the bumpstop hoping that the blade wouldnt wander much. Well it broke at a bad moment and i put a 2 1/2 gash in my palm that poured blood. It was a nice knife safety fail.

To my credit and horror of my squeemish friends. I wrapped my hand up, finished the project with one hand, and drove myself to the ER afterwards. :-D
