Sometimes we do stuipd things !!!!!

[JPGLSG]

Boy Howdy, what a stupid thing I did today with my LCP. The family members are and have been getting my late Mom's house ready to put on the market. Last weekend I backed my new GMC truck into Mom's hidden tree stump, the truck has the latest and greatest cameras and avoidance system. But, but, the stump stopped the truck in it's tracks. Off to the body shop for $3K in repairs.

I was back over today doing some work for my Sister and I'm driving my Wife's foreign SUV. When I arrived I took my left front pocket wallet and my right pocket pocket LCP out and placed them over the closed sun visor, cell phone in the middle thingy in the center. I'm telling right now don't do this !!! I left the house and forgot about just where I'd had placed things. This was due to My loving Sister and all her instructions as to what I needed to do next and so on. It was like listening to her ask me what color the letter seven should smell like. Well at the second stop sign and take off the LCP fell out of the visor and hit me right in the center of my forehead, damn it man. It bounced off my hard head hit the console did a 360 and fell between the seat. I pulled over to get my head and rear-end together but this spot between the seat and console a normal person can't get to. Got back in the vehicle and noticed something running down my nose. Man oh man, my LCP had imprinted the perfect impression of the rear sights deep in the skin. In my truck I've got spots for all kind of pocket stuff to store while working on things away from home that aren't above eye level. I bet I won't do this again, getting old you've to stay on your toes with guns.

You're lucky it didn't bounce off your head and out the window.

Now...3K damage to your truck? No truck bumper on the back? And just how fast were you going?

Seriously,,, sounds like a tough day.

The difference JPGLSG is that most of us don't tell the story in public. :mrgreen: I'm not saying that most of us don't make mistakes, we just swear everyone that saw it to secrecy. I did enjoy the story though. Thank you.

I knocked a fully loaded Sig P229 off the nightstand and on to my bare toes one night when getting out of bed. That hurt a bunch and was real embarrassing to tell my wife why my foot had a big bruise on it

Sounds like you have paid the piper. Tomorrow is bound to be a better day.

Ever hear the one where the guy rented a Bobcat to put in a sewer pipe and then drove it through the front window of his house?

Wow Jimbo, did you do that? :mrgreen:
gramps

Well I don’t believe I’d have told all that.

Funny place to put a sewer pipe. :wink:

I dropped a splitting maul on my bare foot while on a concrete slab 30 years ago. My toe still ain’t right. Although the toenail finally grew back. Sort of. Bad days happen and if you’re lucky you live through it.

Not really. Many homes in this area have the sewer mains running along the street in front of the houses. The house pipe can leave the house from anywhere either the front or from the sides of the house. Those pipes are of course owned by the customer and it is their responsibility to repair.

I have a scar that runs almost all the way around my ring finger on the right hand; from the palm side base up to the center joint on the little finger side; I was getting something off the top shelf of some steel shelving and when I jumped down from the bottom shelf my high school ring decided to hang up on a corner post. Lucky I didn't lose the finger, but I could see the tendons. Walked into the shipping office and the shipping foreman almost fainted at the sight of my blood (AND he was an EX-MARINE TOO). Had to help the nurse in the hospital ER cut the ring off my finger and for over 6 months, I couldn't straighten that finger. there is still a numb spot on the finger just above the joint and a SCAR that cuts across all the wrinkles.

Just about the best I ever did was one day in a hurry to clean up my storage area I picked up an 8ft long 2x4 and went to toss it on an over head shelf.. threw it a 'little' too hard and it went in and hit the back concrete wall and proceeded to shoot right back out and hit me in the forehead.... I literally saw stars for about a minute.

JPGLSG: at least it didn't bounce off your head and then out the window.

My Grandfather once owned a resort in MN. One evening he was repairing the canoe's sealing them with pine pitch. A mosquito landed right between his eyes. Now at the time he had a hammer in his right hand and his left was covered in pine pitch. He figured he'd just love tap that skeeter with the hammer. Knocked himself out. When returned to the house, very late for dinner, Grandma asked what the spot was on his forehead. Foolishly he told the truth and now we all know some 60-70 years later.

Did the same thing with my first cell phone. It was one of those quarter pounders. Placed it over my visor and at the first corner it jumped off the visor right into my over sized coffee mug.
