My wife laughs:

"With every project you lose a part, break a tool or donate a little blood .... it's a rule."

Who made the rule about slamming your toe into an engine stand?

Bringing trash cans to the road New Years' Day. Frozen to the ground, pull, pull, yank; it let go and basted into my big toe. It was uglier.

My aunt dropped a 150lb ish trunk on my big toe about 2 months before I broke my back in 2008. I'm surprised it didn't cut the thing off. It was super gross. May still have a picture somewhere.

Shouldn't be walking around with bare feet.

I broke a toe while changing a tire. Standing on the four-way and when it broke loose I slammed my foot into the ground hard enough to snap one of 'em.

At least, I realized that I broke it after it kept hurting for weeks, and now the bone is like 2x the diameter it used to be.

An aluminum rx7 wheel rolled off of my work bench and the lip hit right on my big toe. Resulted in a giant blood blister under the nail, which eventually fell off. I thought I was just not going to have a toenail anymore but it came back.

Kicking an engine, no matter how angry you are at it, is not the best idea. Lesson learned.

i've dropped a 1.5ton wood splitter tongue my left big toe. just as it was getting back to 100% i did the same thing again but to the right foot. both left me with serious over grown toenails. i have pictures of the surgery i hate to correct them.

recently i had a automatic door cloose on my foot while i was attemping to hold it open. missed the nail but messed up my cutical hard. still purple and sore. that was a month ago. i wonder if it broke.

I put my street shoes on so I could more easily navigate crawling up and around some machine equipment (really funky old school hydraulically controlled pattern duplicator for a Bridgeport) and coming down from it I dropped a X-axis control knob on my foot. Boss asks why I wasn't wearing my steel toed boots. "Because I didn't want to get the equipment dirty..."
