Reminds me of another one for me. Years ago my then wife gave me a kitchen mandolin for Xmas. But this stupid POS didn't have a guard. Just the blade. But I was excited as I had been watching Chopped a lot.
So I grabbed a cucumber and started slicing it.
I remember pausing and saying out loud "boy this thing is sharp I have to be REAL careful" and then continued to slice away until I sliced the skin of my knuckles.
Off the to the ER. And into the trash with that thing.
When we got home hours later, we found thinly sliced shavings of my skin on the counter.
My middle finger still has the scar. The rest of the fingers weren't bad, but that finger was some of the worst pain I've had. The had to put a tight bandage around it, and that thing throbbed for 3 days straight, to the point that I barely slept.
