Ya lol. It still bugs me to this day ,

Sounds gay but a handshake is almost the worst. Esp if the guy tries to squeeze the chit outta your hand

This is a funny one, never try and catch a nail gun that is falling. If you do and your thumb goes on the trigger and it touches your boot the end result is a nail in your foot with no way to get your boot off. Ardox nails make it painfull, first you have to break loose the nail from the bone while twisting that ardox nail. You need a pry-bar and vise grips to get that dam nail out.

Early in my career of framing houses I was partying with the guys got home at 6, my old man was already up having his coffee and I got the "get changed were going to work"

So I did got changed, jumped in the van had the old morning power snooze on the way to jobsite got to work at 7 shot myself at 7:15...should have stayed home...

Nailing up a window header so I was kneeling down had my finger on the trigger and took a step forward and ..bam.. through my femur behind the kneecap and into the fibia nailing my knee together...was a bad morning...

 

[medler]

ouch!

When I was 16 my cousin who decided to swat at a bee or wasp pulled the wrong leaver and hit me across the forehead with a hydraulic post pounder. There was a white flash and when I opened my eyes I was on my back looking at the clouds. I tried to get up but it felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest. My cousin was really good about it though... He said that I could take the rest of the afternoon off.

I'm truly sorry for how much I laughed !
I always think the worst part is this poor bugger has to tell this story 5000x and to people you don't even know!

I grit my teeth getting that dam nail out before anyone saw what I had done, as far as everyone was concerned I developed a limp for a couple of weeks. Let that dam nail gun just fall on the floor next time. I did tell my wife though.

Tough bugger!! I had a framer tell me about how he took the safety off all his nail guns until he walked by it laying on the floor and shot his own foot !!
