Erm.. topic title pretty much says it all.
Got a 92mm tornado fan a while a go. Great little thing, noisy as hell, but puts enough air out to move itself across a desk without a wall to push against.
Goes like the clappers.. only I was using it whilst holding it in my hand, just to cool down my toasty hard drives (hot to touch.. was a bit worried so wanted to cool them a bit).
Didnt hold onto it tight enough when I turned the power on. Flew out of my hand hit the desk, then bounced up and decided to land on my thumb.
Flung a piece of flesh from the top of my thumb into the computer (only a little bit but bloody hell it hurt, and it bled!), and didnt stop there.. it was still rotating with my thumb in it, digging deeper each rotation. thankfully I over came what pain I was experiencing and promptly smashed it into the desk to get it off of my hand. (Still intact just wacked it off of my hand)
Went down stairs and proceeded to play a game of charades with my mum and dad, me moaning in pain, with the thumb in my mouth bleeding couldnt take it out for blood to drip everywhere, and whilst miming "sounds like: can" with my mum saying anything from "cheers" to "cup of tea" (STUPID ARSE! ITS ME MIMING OPENING A CAN OF BLOODY LAGER AND DRINKING IT! ) I finally let them see the bloody mess that was my thumb. "WHAT THE HELL"
At last I was adorned with plasters and other wonderous torture devices in the form of antiseptic wipes (who in gods name made them so painful!)
-
Ahhhh mummy made it better :lol:
-
no mummy refused to touch the thing she just yelled "Look what youve done to the carpet!" from the front room, while my dad managed to sort it out. :D
lol I would have done it myself, but its fecking hard cutting plasters and opening packets with one hand.

You mums mean man, get a new one! :)

Title sounds like a typical american warning sign :)

thumbs still hurting quite badly. Havent really looked at it (fine with wounds if they aint mine.) that much fighting the urge to peel off the plaster and look.
IT STINGS SO BAD.
-
Just looked. oh it looks erg..
No blood now, but basically two wounds have happened..
One is a slice straight into the thumb ( like a knife straight across.. only zigzaggy), where it hit me the first time. the other (worse one) is a slice horizontally across the thumb (slicing the skin like layers of an onion) just above the first cut.
It hurts like hell still.

get to casualty, you get to sit with all the drunks for entertainment at this time of night

nah... to be honest the nausea from looking at it now has me worse than the pain. the pain just reminds me of the nausea and im waving my hand around in the air and rocking back and forth in my seat going "nnnnnnggggggg nngggggggg eeeerrrg!"
-
We need piccies!!!

You have two options, go to the hospital and get it seen to or wait and let them cut it off after its developed gangrene or MRSA. They normally try to reverse a finger to replace it but it wont work the same :twisted:
We need piccies!!!
I was going to say no we dont but Im not sure now :(
-
Even low speed ones will do damage. I accidently put my finger in a 120mm Vantec Stealth fan a couple of years back. OK, those fans spin at less than 1000rpm but the damn thing still had some force behind it and it took a huge chunk out of my finger. Pain happened :(

lol its not that bad, just looked munting last night, yellow skin flappy bits.
Its not a loss of the tip, its in the top segment of my thumb and its just a chunk thats got gouged out by the fan blade. You can see the repeated hits of the fan blades as I tried pulling it out, not sure if a piccie will show that.
Doesnt hurt that bad anymore, and looks less munting, cleaned it out this morning with TCP.. (I swear its satans piss bottled up and mixed with chilli powder. WTF!!! SO MUCH BLOODY PAIN!) and now its white chunks of skin. Will take a piccie of it when I get home not sure if itll come out well.
and lol @ the vantec stealth. Yeah... Not sure what speed a Tornado goes at, but it makes enough noise to sound like a damn jet taking off.
Ah.. just found. It does 4800rpm.

Wow thats a beast of a fan.

meh... cant really see it, as I folded the skin back into place. See the red line to the left of the white ming?... it sliced all that skin back like a big flap, just took a chunk out of me thumb, under the white skin is a hole where the chunk was. :)
-
you have more flesh than that.
stop being a pansy :P
-
lol :D bled like a bastard last night :P and hurt like hell. Looked more ming too. :|
-
did it smell of feet.
i cut my finger while i was in school. cut the top off it, wrapped it up with electrical tape carried on what i was doing.
-
Who says I stopped what I was doing. I got a plaster on it and carried on pratting around with the bastard fan. :D
-
plaster lol
real men use air to seal their wounds
-
aye but real men dont like blood dripping over their computer cases :)
or.. like flaps of skin catching on stuff.
-
big pandsy !
your suposed to wait till you find little blood splaters around, then look and say "oh i cut myself" then ignore it and keep working...... not run off to your mother !!! :p
-
lol!! :) You try cutting a plaster strip with one hand in your mouth pouring blood out.
Easier to just get someone else to do it. :) (in my defence, I put it on myself once it had been cut to size :))
-
No.... try walking 300m back to your villa from the shared pool you were just running round, when you accidentally slammed your big toe one side of the other foots achelies(sp) tendon and the toe next to it the other side, thus tearing the webbing ALL the way round and causing it to bleed a pool of blood with ever step.
Then try sitting in a car for 30 mins whilst you drive to the nearest hospital in Spain.
Then try haveing it stiched by one doctor whilst another holds you toes apart.
Then try walking round Benidorm the next day because youve GOT to go and visit a rondom friend of your parents.....
Thats pain! :D
-
This is turning into a Yorkshiremen thread
"We were so poor that i had to...."
just with whining pansies
-
Im not whining.... just saying that slicing a bit of thumb isnt pain compared to other stuff!
-
Having a car drop on your hand now that is pain, had to help jack the car off my dads hand. Also when my dad had Meningites he said you will never feel any worse pain then having to bend over and have a needle lined all the way up your spine to drain fluid, and also release pressure on your brain... (He brought it up when I wanted to try out some illegal substance and gave me a scare story of having to go to hospital to take the fluids out my spine :( )
-
lol... Ive had an epidural. Sure it hurts.. for about 30 seconds then the lignacaine kicks in you cant walk let alone bloody feel anything. :D lol.
Lay on the bed, drop trousers, then wince as they shove a needle inbetween your ass cheeks, by your coccyx and get yelled at for "clenching". Then ahhh all gone.
This thumb thing was more of a "F**k ow! ow bastard aahh twat! ow!!" for the best part of 20 minutes, then it was "ahhh.. caught it.. bastard!" for the rest of the night and day.
-
meh, try getting both your big toe nails removed at the same time.. yeah its fine when u wake up but when they change the dressing and you try to be a man and not take any pain killers... you will know all about pain
-
Ha try being fed testicle first into a blender filled with tcp and sulphuric acid, whilst mr T slaps you about the face with a cricket bat and your own mother jabs you in the eyes with jagged rusty scissors. All this after you just slid down a rusty razor blade with (again) only your testicles for brakes. Then after this an alien burst through your chest cavity and dances the fandango on your face whilst wearing ice skates.
Then after this try having fire ants inserted into every oriface and laceration caused by the previous incidents.
Frankly I think going to the S&M club was a mistake.
:P

pmsl thats... err... imaginative

erm.. mommy! the bad man scares me.
