I was frying eggs and I decided to add more butter to the frying pan while they were cooking.
FTR- Hot butter splatter WILL wake you up faster than coffee…
I learned that lesson the first time it was taught. Well, the specific lesson: always look at the soldering iron when reaching for the soldering iron.
Did you know that grasping the 700-degree barrel of a pen-type soldering iron feels just like grasping the handle, until the brief moment that the pain registers? (Brief because the nerves die so fast.)
They’re interesting scars, anyway.
you can make nice decorative things with wood burning.
I sympathize with you on your injury, I really do, but the first thing that came to my mind was an ad reading “Glass wind chimes for sale! Guaranteed to work - once…”
You know, gizmos and doodads and suchlike.
In one side and nearly out the other. Had to unscrew the damn thin to get it out. Bloody lucky it was a fleshy bit
No. Yes but it does hurt
Sorry that would be cool but no
OP -
If you nicked the bone - get to an ER NOW!
nope through the fleshy bit
they really are a thing glass wind chimes - Google Search
and I gotta say that what I am making looks a lot sturdier than mos of those
OUCH. OUCH!
I recently went to visit the old campsite.
Since it is winter, I decided to build a camp-fire to warm the old fingers and toes while I checked things out.
After gathering various tinder, I started to break down the (somewhat) little branches into fire starter pieces.
SNAP
A 2 inch piece of one evil branch decided it would like to impale my little finger.
Digging out a pair of needle-nose pliers from my backpack was fairly easy to do.
Pulling that humungous sliver of a branch out of my pinkie was not pleasant.
It still hurts.
Soldering irons.
OWWWWWW.
Fortunately nothing similar recently. I did once have a tree land on my head in my misguided youth. Fortunately it didn’t hit any vital bits. 
Lately? No – and considering how many stupid things I’ve done during my life I’m really proud of that.
A few years ago I was getting out of my car and carrying a couple sacks of apples. Somehow, I slammed the door shut on my right index fingertip. By shut I mean I had to open the fully closed door with my left hand to get my finger out. Six months later, the nail which eventually fell off grew back. The fingertip still feels a bit numb.
I managed to drop a 7’6" Western snowplow on my head last summer
Hey, It was the first time I put it on. New system. What hit me was the steel light bar on top.
So, I carried the plow to the truck with the tractor. Got it all lined up. Then pulled the lever that retracts a foot on the plow that is used for storage. I thought…no I didn’t think. Wammo. But it wasn’t a Frisbee. The plow weighs nearly 500lbs.
2" cut down the center of my scalp. Lucky I didn’t pass out, or worse. I was really stunned. Bled like hell. But the bleeding stopped. I had my wife take a picture of it since I couldn’t see it.
If I ever go bald, I’ll have some ‘splaining’ to do. But I guess it will go with the 130 stich scar in my forehead and temple from when I was 11yo. (I actually look, and am quite normal)[as far as I can tell. Hahahaaaaahaha.]
Hey, I can accept that. 
OP: Try for your big toe, next time. A hole would make it easier for them to attach the tag when you die.
