The The Most Aganising Phisical Pain

**soopaman** · 06-19-2003, 07:47 AM

When I was 16/17 I was working as a Welder in a factory one town over. I'd just finished smoothing off a piece of metal with an angle-grinder. I pushed my goggles up over my head and turned the grinder off, placing it on the workbench. Stupidly, I'd forgotten that the bench was metal-topped. The still-spinning grinder touched the bench sending a shower of red hot sparks all over me, one of which went into my right eye where it stayed burning my eyeball!!! That fucking hurt more than anything I've ever felt in my life. I still have the scar on the edge of my iris.

Also, last year on Christmas Eve I flayed my right forearm with a steam-hose at work - that smarted a bit I can tell you. Ruined Christmas!!!

ever thought of changing where you work?
