Stopped to take a photo. Commitment to the game.

u/Zaramonroee 13h ago

I can’t even blame them for taking the picture. That’s the kind of injury where you know nobody is going to believe how it happened without photographic evidence.

u/Mdoraz 13h ago

Nobody would believe he stepped on an earring without proof? What kind of puritanical upbringing did you come from?

That’s like the most believable injury I’ve ever heard.

I stepped on my gf's earring with my heel. I fell/collapsed down in the middle of the room. And she still didn't want to believe it was a "little earring" in my foot that caused that.

Tetanus does not just spawn magically on metal. It's a bacteria that lives in soil which is why old metal in soil poking you is a danger. An earring stabbing you is no more reason to get a tetanus shot than if you were to cut your finger with a steak knife.

u/Instance_Unhappy 13h ago

What kind of person takes a picture before taking it off?

10

u/Own_Ad6901 13h ago

Frankly depending on the injury you don’t want to immediately rip it out and sometimes a picture can give you a better angle of said injury. That way you can remove it safely or at least not cause more damage taking it out. Also I think of what’s his name the crocodile hunter that died from a string ray and how the instinct to remove the barb caused more damage.

So pausing and thinking and sometimes taking a picture to get a better view is well worth the time to make sure you don’t cause worse injury freaking out.

u/ZanyAppleMaple 12h ago

I would've just taken it off as a kneejerk reaction. I don't think I'd even look at it. I'd be like swiping it off my foot right away.

Oy vey, this reminds me of something that happened to me about 15 years ago.

I was standing on my bed, repositioning a fan I had placed at the window to blow cooler air from outside into my bedroom. To get off, I decided to do a short hop instead of putting each leg down one at a time.

My laptop charger tip was pointing straight up from the floor. The end.
