Yesterday, I got home from class and I was ready to take a bite out of my arm. I worked through lunch, didn't eat breakfast so by 3:30, I was ready to take a bite out of my arm. I'm no cannibal though, and I didn't have time to cook my arm up if I was. So I pull out the turkey and cheese and make a sandwich. I grab the knife sitting on the counter to slice the sandwich in half and couldn't understand why the knife was so damn dull. TD usually sharpens knives within an inch of their lives. So I press harder with my left hand, only to realize that the knife was turned upside down and I sliced across the palm of my left hand. It hurts.

No need to smack your stuff...knife cut sufficient punishment.
Not in the past year, but I have in the past been lying down, holding bottle oriented correctly toward me (so, incorrectly in regards to gravity) and then opened the bottle, dumping the contents on myself.

Ooh. I also catapulted my french press off of my cutting board into myself last week while leaning on the board/counter to put away a pot. I replaced it with a stainless steel french press because it is the second one I broke.

When I bought it, I bought 2 extra replacement carafes and I'm on the last one......in a year. In my defense, I do wash it 95% of the time and I always seem to break it in the sink.

Ouch! I almost did that to myself a few months ago. It would've been really bad, as it was a sharper knife and I was trying to split a pill in half..

You have no idea how good the prior posts make me feel. I thought I was dangerous in the kitchen but I haven't done bodily harm to myself - yet

I was peeling the potatoes the other day and my index finger got in the way of the peeler. Judging by the angle of the wound, I may end up with a permanent slice mark.

I am changing banks for my main checking account. Thursday I paid a bill from the old account so that the balance was under $10. Plan was to pay everything else from new account. Checked old account this morning and balance was -$70 because I paid a $40 bill (forgot to change to new account) and got an overdraft charge At least I didn't do anything with a knife though.

I was grating cheese last week, and grated part of my thumb as well. Don't tell my DH, but it went into his spaghetti.

Attempted to start the lawn mower for the first time one spring a few years back. It would not work. I went and bought a new lawnmower and mowed the lawn. Before I put the old lawnmower on the curb for someone to pickup and maybe try and fix it, I gave the old one more try. Didn't work. Then I saw and remembered I had disconnected the spark plug from the mower the previous fall. Plugged in the spark plug and it started right up.
Too late to return the new lawnmower because it was now used. Didn't need two lawnmowers so I gave the old one away.

Bought a new, very sharp knife for deboning chicken. While washing it before using it for the first time, I nearly cut off my thumb. Washed the blood off the knife and put it in the back of the knife drawer never to be used again.

I sent three sample boxes floating to the bottom of the nitrogen tank. Spent an hour and a half yesterday getting them back. Damaged at least three fingers and almost froze my boobs off.

Putting a half chewed piece of apple my son handed me into my mouth. (It was food, at least. Could have been worse.)

Forgetting the window sill is right there (window is a little hard to miss) and whacking my forehead on it for the 3rd effing time this week! It hurts. I guess, technically, I did smack myself. Oy. I do feel so much better knowing that I'm not the only one with questionable knife/kitchen skills.

I did that too, only one box of cell lines that I needed for experiments. I thought briefly about leaving them there....
