Talk about a hard fork!
Yes I somehow managed to stab the fork that far into my finger. I dropped the fork while putting away dishes and reflexively tried to catch it, instead managing to drive it into my flesh against the counter.
I calmly left it in place and found @dillemma outside saying "Emma you want to see something awesome?"
The look on her face as she slowly processed what she was looking at was priceless :)
Then I made her take a picture before I pulled it out to let the process of slowly bleeding out commence LOL
Nah just kidding I held my finger above my head with some pressure for a minute and put a band-aid on it and I am nearly certain I will survive.
WTF???? I didn't need to see that.
I hope you took it out before you typed this post!

What the fork!!!
Ouch! I am used to horror ( movies ), but I actually find this hard to look at as it really happened.

Great shot @carlgnash! Umpteen years ago, a dude on the job stapled his middle finger to his ring finger with a 2” staple. Man that was a good one! He was about as nonchalant about as you are. Ya’all would get along great!

Gosh! I'm so sorry this has happened to you and I hope it will stop bleeding quickly!
I once dropped a knife and reflexively tried to catch it. Well, I ended up with two stitches and a scar for the rest of my life 😁 I'm just so glad It wasn't worse!

Man, I know that feeling. I accidently jamed the tip of a knife into my hand a few weeks ago because it slipped off of a zip tie that I was trying to cut.

Wow! I think #gross is more appropriate that #funny. "Can't Turn Away Even Though I Should" is probably the best tag.
I hope you heal well and agreeing that you most certainly you will survive. Be safe friend!

Have you tried to reflexively catch a knife and then ticked that it's a bad idea whilst going for the splits so it'll avoid the toes? One of the best things to watch I reckon!

I've done the same thing while doing the dishes and resulted in swatting/shattering glasses and bowls. I think at the height of 4 inches they would have dropped from they would have been fine.

I thought for a second about making my wife take a video clip of me pulling it out and letting it bleed on camera for a bit but then I had a rare moment of sanity and good taste and opted out of that plan :) LOL

Oh Carl!! Hahaha
I’m glad to know you’re ok !
And I’m happy to know that was a fork and not a kitchen knife.
Catching things reflexively is kind of cool and kind of dangerous but certainly, at least for me, almost always a funny thing (not for me, obviously).
Catching a chocolate twinky, catching ice cream, catching many avocado seeds and catching a soldering iron .. (fortunately by the cord)
Cheers!
