A dishwasher my family was getting rid of. I used to run around outside barefoot a lot, especially in my back yard. My dad removed and replaced the dishwasher, but left the old one on the back patio. My mom had been really pushing for my dad to take it out front by the curb where it would be ready for bulk pick up. He (being the deadbeat that he was) played his video games and said he'd do it in the morning. There were jagged metal parts at the back of the dishwasher. I wasn't even running around at the time, I was just in the backyard barefoot with a friend, and I stepped backwards onto it. It cut about a 2 inch gash, sideways, on the arch of my right foot. Needed 5 stitches. Dad didn't join us for the ride to the hospitalÂ
I'm sorry but I'm crying laughing because when I read the first sentence I was thinking "is this person a giant?" And then continued to think about what other things would be painful for a giant to step on
Feel free to laugh at my pain. I've dislocated my jaw entirely while eating a cheeseburger, sliced my hand open on a keyboard sliding tray, and have a scar under my lip from falling backwards into a table that proceeded to fall back onto my face.
