If you are cutting a piece of thick steel with an angle grinder, it's a good idea not to wear sandals.

Don't ask... ๐Ÿ™‚

Similarly if you are helping somebody doing some welding then be aware that when a lump of red hot slag drops down the inside of your boot, nylon socks are not good. As well as the intense initial pain there is also the one you get trying to tear the melted sock from your foot which then gets infected...

Oof, that makes my "why you shouldn't fry an omelette with no shirt on" story seem very tame.

Don't look directly at the nozzle of a deoderant spray while reattaching the lid, which doesn't actully cover the hole.

my mate got Dave's insanity sauce in his eyes once..he was trying to dirty my pint and got caught. In his efforts to hide the bottle behind his back a fountain of the stuff went into his face. He had burning eyes for hours. I almost felt sorry for him.

To the OP. Wear goggles. I had a bit of swarf taken from my eye a few months ago . Not funny

when that 8' piece of 3"x4" nailed to some board doesnt want to be prised away, dont give it one more heft with your face directly over the path of the wood when it finally does let go. Another facial scar to add to the gallery ๐Ÿ™„

I can top that, don't put your eye in the way. Spent a night on hospital a week ago for that and am in the middle of an enforced period of rest so I don't dislodge the clots in my left eye making the situation worse.

Don't play the game of seeing which egg explodes last when you put some in the microwave..
Or more specifically, don't be in the blast zone when your numpty friend opens the door.

When really really cold (probably 25 years ago) don't come in, turn on an electric bar fire and then place hands directly on said electric bars, then definitely do not get thrown halfway across the room...

Had a lovely Jamaican Lady try to boil eggs in the microwave at one job I had. To her credit she got them both out before they exploded. The screams and mess were comparable in their intensity. Thanks for the memory.
