okay, so here i was trying to open this new CD player my dad got me and it was packaged in that really hard plastic, you know the plastic i'm talking about, the really tough kind that you can't open iwht your hands, so i was cutting it open with my knife and my dad says "be careful Matt that knife is really sharp so don't cut yourself" and i say "don't worry dad i won't" 3 seconds later, the knife slips and stabs about an inch into my hand.

Why was your hand even in the way? Were you cutting AWAY from yourself? If you take the proper common sense precautions then your hand should've never been in the way.

i know, usually that doesn't happen, but the top was round, and my hand was on the otherside, so the knife kind of slid alongside the top into my hand.

i think we need to give you a safety class on how to use your knife, then give you one of those safe box cutters, like the ones they have at wal-mart, so you do not cut yourself again.

Next field problem I will probably cut my hand with my knife since I am making fun of you

it's all good

HAHA things like this happen to me all the time. And yes, you are a dumba**, but so am I, too

Yep, that was a mod edit.

I did something like that to my thumb, I was 10 or 11 and too stupid to realise that I wasn't supposed to cut towards yourself. So I was cutting open my model train transformer and the knife slipped and cut my thumb open, then rotated around the bone....yeah it hurt, and yeah it bled...but i consider myself lucky, at least there was no nerve damage ^_^

Just say you got it saveing a mate in a knife fight against 4 assailents then just to prove your great get an old jacket and slice it a bit.

Sometimes, the hardest lessons learned are the best kind. I was cleaning an "unloaded" pistol and.....do you know how the MDs clean a gunshot wound? A piece of gauze was inserted into the hole in my thigh and a ramrod used to push it through enough so he can pull it on through. This is repeated until (A) you faint or (B) all the flesh coming out is clean of powder residue. Thank goodness, the latter was my case. In your case, you will remember your mistake if you ever shave with a straight razor.
