All of them?

When using a power washer, wear heavy duty boots. That way, when you get muck on your foot, and reflexively use the power washer to clean it off, you don’t take your foot apart in doing so.
Fortunately my shoe protected me enough to just leave a raw streak across my foot. The shoe was history though.[/quote]
The average person doesn’t fully grasp how dangerous high-pressure liquids are. People have accidentally injected themselves with hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel while working on pressurized systems, and the broken skin is just the the start of the horror show: without proper medical attention, the injected liquid can destroy your limb from the inside out, eventually requiring amputation. If you have a strong stomach, google “hydraulic injection injury” to see what it’s all about.
Consumer-grade pressure washers certainly can shred the skin; it sounds like you got lucky.
I sometimes use my bank’s night deposit slot, which is on the outside of the bank building. On one occasion I discovered that yellowjackets had made a nest in the handle, right where a user would put their fingers. I was fortunate to have spotted their activity before I actually grabbed the handle.
My employer buys us new hard-toed shoes/boots every year for work, and I’ve used this policy to maintain a spare pair of boots for home duty. Good for lawn-mowing and any kind of work where I might drop something substantial.
When dealing with scrap lumber, or any wood that has been exposed to the elements, remember that surprisingly large scorpions and black widows can squeeze into surprisingly small holes.
Paint the house before you move all the furniture in. Not after.
I’ll just amend this to say “don’t put anything you don’t want to drink in soda bottles.”
I once had drained used fryer oil that was pretty dark into a 2-liter soda bottle and left it on the counter to throw in the outside dumpster the following day. Little did I realize that I’d go in there the following morning, think that it was a bottle of soda, decide to take a hearty swig, only to remember that nope, not soda, but used fryer oil.
I spat most out in the sink, but man that was nasty.
Gasoline will dissolve a styrofoam cup.
Or your iPad. I learned that the hard way twice. (I’m a slow learner)
Everything not secured or left on the deck of a sailboat will end up overboard.
Everything not secured or left on the table of the sailboat cabin will end up broken on the floor.
If you’re asking yourself if you should put in a reef, you’ve waited too long.
If you’re wondering if you should tack, wait.
My parents taught me that, but when I moved into shared housing I found that not everyone had been brought up the same. It was all a learning experience for me, so I didn’t impose my opinions on my house-mates. But I observed that my parents were right about this one…
And turpentine will dissolve a plastic cup.
Yes, the super power people have to jinx relations that are none of their business is amazing. I have been at both ends of it. None is a good place to be.
Where were you with this advice 30 years ago? 
In high school, trying to romance a mormon.
Yeah, get your feet out of the way too, unless wearing serious shoes.
(Clue, the movie) “Too Late!”
If you like to brag that you’ve been driving you whole life without an accident, it only takes a second of inattention to ruin a perfect record in a potentially spectacular fashion.
No, this did not happen to me, but it almost did, just earlier today.
On a related note, when backing out of a parking spot, there is always going to be a jerk rushing by much too fast, who at that precise instant will be hidden by the immense truck right beside you.
I initially read that as “trying to romance a moron”, which is also probably a bad idea.
Can confirm, bad idea. My first and only high school boyfriend was dumber than a box of rocks.
I worked in a fast food restaurant in high school and this was actually the practice. If we were rounding the corner carrying whatever potential hazard, we’d shout it out before we got near the corner. “Hot Chili!”. “Hot OIl!”. Then it devolved a bit… ok, “Cold Meat!!!” wasn’t that crazy, as spilling several dozen raw burgers might have been a mess. But “Dry Napkins!!!” led a lot of amusement!
Why is it dangerous to put your wallet on your iPad? Does it demagneteze it or something?
… what?
… never mind…
