Quote History

Quoted:
Didn't happen to me but it's a rather popular family tale. My dad's side of the family had quite a history of practical jokes; some bordering on the cruel side of the spectrum.

One of the uncles had pulled some sort of stunt on his teenage daughter, in front of her new friends, after just entering high school. At that point in a young person's life, ridicule and embarrassment can come easy enough. So, needless to say, she was not all that pleased with her father for purposefully making that new chapter even more awkward.

She basically stewed all day, plotting her revenge prank. Her dad always stayed up later than the rest of the family, often would fall asleep on the couch, eventually get up, stumble down the hall to use the can, and then head up to bed. It was like clockwork, and would turn out to be his undoing that fateful evening.

After everyone else had gone upstairs for the night, she waited. Sure enough, her dad fell asleep downstairs, in front of the TV, like every other night. Now, you may be thinking her plot would involve something related to her dad's nightly appointment with the porcelain throne. A good thought, but her plan was far more sinister.

In the hallway leading to the bathroom they had an area rug. It was probably 6-8 feet long, and the bottom was coated with small plastic spikes to keep it in place. I never saw it, but imagine it to be like what's found on the bottom of those desk mats for rolling chairs. Her plan was simple. She quietly crept into the hallway, flipped the rug over, and went back to bed.

Sometime after midnight, everyone in the house awoke to the uncle screaming and cursing up a storm. When he first hit the "rug", he was still too out of it to comprehend what was going on. So, instead of stopping and backing up, he proceeded to hop and stumble across 6 feet of tiny little tacks. It took a while for his feet to heal. But his pride, having peed himself a little, took a bit longer to recover.

No blood, gore, or any other physical trauma:

When I was in college we rented the third floor of an old home, the owners occupied the 1st and second floors.

In my room the bed was built up on a platform a bit higher than a normal bed. It took a bit of a jump and slide to get in the darn thing.

One night late after studies I did the jump and slide maneuver and felt this odd flappy sensation on the sole of my foot. Scared the daylights outta me, shot straight up and darn near dug into the ceiling with my fingers., We don't have a lot of creepy crawlys around here, but this fluttery, flappy sensation just had to be bad, real bad

.

Fucking rubber band, caught under my heel and slid down the bed spinning and flapping all the way.

True Story.

My personal story happened years ago, body surfing in West Palm Beach while a hurricane was working its way up the coast. Waves were great, the undertow was VERY strong. all was great, then at the end of a nice wave, I stood up and I stepped on something that felt "odd". Had the feel, sensation and resistance of ripping burlap. It was a hook attached to a commercial fishing line (the kind that have multiple hooks on the same line). The hook was roughly the diameter of a metal coat hanger wire. It imbedded in bone, and the entire mess swept me off me feet, dragging me out in the undertow. God know what else was on the line, I imagine something bigger than me heading for deeper water. If it weren't for a couple guys who dragged me up on the beach, and wrangled the line...I would have drowned.

The life guards showed up and said "don't worry, we see fish hooks all the ti....OH MY GOOOD, get him to the hospital". They cut the line, and rushed me off. Got the same reaction in the ER. Felt like a screwdriver stuck through my foot. Removal was an unpleasant experience.

I still have the reminants of the hook.

I stepped on a sewing pin which was straight up as a kid. It went all the way in. My parents weren't there, so I crawled to the garage to get pliers to pull it out with.

When I was 7 or 8 I lived just outside of Anchorage. We were having some sort of function at the house and a friend and I went out side and were walking through the woods down the street from my house. We were on a quasi path that ran next to a creek. We probably got a 1/4 mile or so from the house when one of us stepped on a yellow jacket nest. We were both stung a few times. I think I got it 7 times and she got 20 or so. She started freaking out yelling that she was allergic and we needed to get back asap!

We took off running and at some point I decided to get out of the woods and head toward the road, so I cut through the trees and then through a lot that was cleared. They had just started building a house there a bout a week earlier. We were almost to the road when it happened.

I was in full stride in a dead sprint when my right foot landed on a small piece of plywood with a framing nail sticking up. It went right through my foot. I mean like all the way through. It came out the top of my shoe, and it fucking stuck there. I was runner my so hard that I took a few more steps before I fully realized what happened. At that point, I crashed.

I don't fully remember getting home. I'm pretty sure my friend just kept going and one of the adults came out to get me. I do remember that it totally sucked. I sat on the counter by the bathroom sink as my mom pulled the nail out, took off my shoe and sock, then proceeded to soak my foot in peroxide and iodine. It all stung.

I can still feel it whe I think about it.

My friend had to go to the hospital.

Other than that. The worst thing I've stepped on is a piece of fabric that my wife was using as a pin cushion. Had a couple dozen pins in it and a few of them buried themselves into the arch of my foot. It was not a pleasant experience.

It wasn't me but I saw it happen. In high school I always had some type of class that involved the pool. Everyone knows the rules of the pool, NO GLASS! Some dumb ass brought one of those Arizona tea clear glass bottles and of course it broke. Got the glass cleaned up except for the bottom disk with a nice sharp triangular splinter sticking up. A barefoot kid stepped on that thing and of course slipped. Not only did it puncture up the side of the heel but when they slipped the glass almost cut the side of their heel off. That was a bloody mess.

I once stepped on a nail that had backed out of the floor. The head went through my foot and came out the top. Stepping down on it and looking down was bad, but picking my foot up and pulling it out is what sucked.

Swimming in a Kentucky river as a young teenager. There were freshwater clams on the river bottom that were orientated straight up. I kicked one and split my big toe to the bone. No ER, just wrapped and bandaged it tight. It took forever to heal.

I've stepped on boards with nails a couple of times, it hurt but was more of a dull pain. Stepped on a broken off neck of a beer bottle once that cut a jagged circle in my foot, that hurt too but the worst part of that one was I had to cancel a river trip. Being a machinist I sometimes tend to carry home a few shavings in my hair or clothes that always seem to wind up in my feet. Just last week I had to pull a piece of brass out of my big toe that I stepped on in the hall right after I got out of bed, it's still sore.

My son left Chewbacca laying on the floor. I stepped on him in the dark at 3:45 am one morning and fell on his sister's art desk. Paper, markers and crayons went everywhere. Now I just make sure I have a path cleared every night after the kids go to bed. I gave up on making them keep their toys picked up.
