I got goose pimples just looking at that.

On xmas eve I cut my finger while chopping some vegetables. Pretty deep cut too, on a finger that I cut like 4 times now... Oh well, another battle scar.

I cut deep into my thumb when trying to pry the meat from a coconut. It cut the nerve and now part of my thumbtip is numb

No bad injuries myself just yet.

I've had a couple close calls cutting stuff and almost cutting my finger; and once I almost sliced my hand open because I thought the guard was still on the knife, but it wasn't and I grabbed the blade and just began to pull before I noticed I had a blade resting in my palm.

>>6096120
>I grabbed the blade and just began to pull before I noticed I had a blade resting in my palm.

If that's not bad I don't know what is. I mean, I've been stabbed with a fork, but reading yours made my palms sweaty. I hope nobody posts that fucking avocado hand.

I gashed the fuck out of my thumb at my first job in a kitchen while using a mandolin slicer. It bled loads, and I had two wear two band-aids and two gloves with a rubber band keeping it shut. That shift ended up turning into a double because the closing dishwasher called in, so I had to work a dish shift with a shitty wound.

Still have a scar today.

A combination of wd40 and mineral spirits will pull that stuff right up out of the carpet. Make sure to scrub throughly with spirits as a last step and open a window for a while

>>6096126
They better not, that one is gross...

>>6096143
COME ON DON'T POST THAT SHIT! FUCK!

I hope nobody posts that one where literally all of the person's fingers are sliced perfectly like salami and the meat is peeling off his bones.

Don't fucking post it I swear.

>>6096143
wait, that's not from cutting an avocado, is it? There's no way; the only thing I can think of that could fuck you up that bad would be a meat slicer.

>>6096143
Dang, that's pretty brutal.

>>6096146
That image you're talking about is fake, and old as hell.

>>6096149
Pretty sure the one I'm talking about is as real as it gets but whatever. Fuck this thread I'm out.

Fuck avocados.

>>6096156
>> Did he survive?


How did he manage to do that?

>>6096156
and this is why you don't stab the pit with the tip of a blade like a fucking idiot.

>>6096175
see
>>6096176

>>6096175
probably trying to hit the pit with the blade to pull it out without getting his hands messy.

>>6096147
That one is from cutting a watermelon with a machete...

Looks painful.

>>6096179
>> without getting his hands messy

I think he failed that..

>>6096180
Well, at least the finger is still technically attached...

I once worked at bagel place where one of my coworkers in training to be a baker burnt the fuck out of his hand with melted chocolate. He had to go to the hospital. He took off his bandages and showed me the aftermath it was a pink and white glossy mess of medicine, and regenerating skin.

I did take a picture of it but that was in '07 so I have no idea where the pic is or if I even have it anymore.

>>6096079
>not putting mustard
>runnin that much water for nothing
>letting the cheese fuck the carpet instead of cleaning it

>>6096176
I still can't understand that. You sould be smart enough to know that you shouldn't stab anything while in your palm unless you're no a complete oaf and actually HANDLE the knife carefully and not jam it through. But ffs it's an avocado, you can scoop out the pit with a spoon fuck.

>>6096156
Avocado and sriracha... Fucking hipster.

Slicing pineapples for breakfast.

Cut rings off without using a chopping board.

About to slice rings into halves, then quarters.

place the ring in my hand, and start to cut into it with a large knife.

Reach the pineapple core and meet resistance.

Push the knife down hard.

It gets through the pineapple.

Goes into my palm.

Call my housemate down as I try to bandage up the wound with toilet paper.

"can you please walk me to the pharmacy, I need bandages and anticeptic. Make sure I don't pass out"

He tells me to go to the hospital and get stitches.

Nahm8.exe

go to pharmacy

Walk up to the lady behind teh counter.

I'd like some anti septic and some bandages. My housemate thinks I need to go to A & E to get stitches, what do you think...

I go to show her my hand

"NO NONONONONONO!"

Too late.

She freaks out and gets the guy in back.

He tells me to go to the hospital.

Fine.

I pick up my then girlfriend and go to the hospital.

2 miles/40 minutes walk away.

Get there.

Wait an hour

Get two stitches

Everyone's mad.

Take them to carvery near hospital.

Get cab back.

Stitches itch the inside of my palm for weeks on end, driving me crazy.

Got a pretty good oil burn on my arm at B-Dubs on a particularly busy wing night. Ran it under cold water for a second and kept on working. Had a nasty, shiny, pink patch of flesh where the burn was, skin layers cleanly taken off. Scabbed over, healed up nicely within a couple weeks.

>>6096070
I feel pretty lucky honestly, worked on the line for almost three years and, other than minor cuts and such, only had one injury, where i splashed caramel all up my arm. Fuck molten sugar.

>>6096070
Worst food injury was when I dropped a straight out of the oven chicken pop pie on my foot

>>6096070
when i was smaller, i wanted a slice of cheddar, so i took the cube out of the fridge and tried to cut it.
i was in a rush, so without closing the fridge, i put it on the ground, next to my foot and tried to cut a piece off with a butter knife
i pressed hard, and the knife went in slowly
it popped through the cheese at an angle and sliced a hunk out of my toe.
i used the knife to cut the chunk off then ate the cheese bit and put it away.

i didnt tell my mom, but i made sure to clean the cheese block.

ow

Was carrying in a lot of bags of stuff from the farmer's market. Gallons of milk, heavy produce. 4 or 5 bags worth. My garage has a slight step up, maybe 2 inches tall where the door meets the ground. Was wearing flip flops and missed the step, ate shit on the concrete. I fell in a twisted way and landed all of my weight on my ankle. Broke it straight up.

>>6096143
>this is how /ck/ likes their steak

Nearly sliced a fingertip off when using a dull knife once.

Since that incident I have learned how to properly maintain an edge on all of my knives.

>>6097014
>sad virgin slant eye on a cooking board
>this is a namefag on /ck/

accidentally left a frying pan in the oven while it was heating, took it out using a towel then forget it had been in the oven

picked up a pan that was in a 350F oven for 20-30 minutes with my bare hand, didn't even feel the burning for a few seconds

half of my palm turned into a blister

>>6096070
Soy sauce or yellow mustard m8. Works wonders

>>6096185

I like your positivity

>>6096070
Keep some yellow mustard in your fridge for putting on burns. Don't put it on any open wound. Keep it on thickly for 15 minutes. You have to get it on within 2 mins or less or it won't be as effective at all. You can run the burn under cold water first real quick of course. I've been doing this for years now. Every time I miss doing it or miss part of the burn I regret it. It even prevents reddening and blistering. Google "yellow mustard burn".

I sliced a little piece of my fingertip clean off with those little fruit slicers, it didnt have a guard and i just kept going.
I put gauze on it, and left it there, then the gauze stuck to the wound and fused to my meat and I tried pulling it out but it hurt too much so I just cut what I could off, and left a little bit in the wound, my skin healed OVER it and I have a little bump scar on my finger and there's some gauze in my finger forever.

It's small, but so far that's the worst.
I can feel the gauze in there still.

>>6097089
this is making me cringe a little

I blew up my hand fiddling with a piece of shit rental barbeque for catering. Not literally blew up, but the explosion from the gas build up burned it really severely, 2nd and 3rd degree on a couple fingers/back of/palm of my dominant hand. Shit sucked and I had to miss a bunch of time.

>>6096296
>warm water.
:[

>>6097089
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7354458.stm

It's possible to be completely healed.

I essentially skinned the palm of my hand while using a mandolin to cut chips. 2/10, would not do again.

Also while in culinary school some retard was using one of those shitty flimsy dollar store knives to open a can, and the tip of it snapped off and managed to land in his eye of all places. He didn't go blind but that was some day.

Hands: burns and cuts (14 total, most scars are burn scars and there are two white circular numb spots on the ends of my fingers from when I sliced the tips off on a slicer)

Legs/feet: scars on ankles from accidentally spilling hot oil into my shoes the one time I forgot socks to work

Giant scar the size of a hand on my thigh from a home cooking injury involving boiling water

As someone who works as a fine dining line cook, injuries like this are honestly just another part of the job, so they don't really phase me anymore.

Was this in the course of your employment and did you score dat sweet Worker's comp

Also

Workers comp AND pain pills.

0/10, not worth it, do not recommend.

As someone who takes pride in my work, I felt retarded that it happened and had 3 weeks of sitting at home to think about how I couldn't be doing what I love to do and how being a careless idiot got me fucked up. I'm just lucky I didn't need skin grafts.

>>6097323

Not very long. It's more the issue of trying to fold the paper over one-handed that is the issue. And trying to wash just one hand by itself. I actually had a really hard time trying to lock and unlock my doors whenever I went out for food or whatnot, because the lock sticks and you need to jiggle it and turn the knob at the same time. The whole thing was super fucking inconvenient and I would have rather just cut myself and had to get a couple stitches.


The thing they don't tell you about healing a deep burn is that it can take up to 7 months for the skin to get back up to the usual strength/toughness. In the first few months after it was "healed" I ripped off a bunch of the new skin on one of my fingers twice just by hitting my hand on a doorframe and dragging it against a shelf. You take for granted how much abuse you put yourself through day to day until your skin has the toughness of tissue paper and then you go back to ruing the day you fucked up.

This?

Place i'm working at has a soup warmer that's fucked up the water inside will boil at the lowest setting and it's constantly boiling out so you had to check it every hour or so to see if you needed to add more water do this 10 times a day for months without incident then one day the steam attacks my wrist like the fire in backdraft

>>6096999

And thats how i learned that Naga's should be handled with gloves.
Not quite an injury, but still painful as fuck.

Worst real injury was cutting the webbing between pointer and thumb, while slicing a burger bun open

>>6096999
Slicing cheese on the floor?
But why?

-Work at a coffee shop. so burns all over hand and forearms, nerves shot to shit.
-Cut off a bit of finger tip while cutting a bagel
-Be 10 years old and cutting my finger straight to the bone (dicing carrots with a huge knife to impress sibling) no stitches.

>>6098687
I did something similar with my thumb. Now I have a huge scar and can't feel the tip of it.

>>6098687

>>6096070

Sheeeeit thats gonna hurt in a day or so

-taking a pizza out of the awkward oven I hit the top of my hand off the inside of the oven and seared a groove in my wrist that is still there

-slicing an onion in my hand, somehow managed to almost slice the end of my finger in two at the tip. It sprayed blood everywhere, nice scar.

-putting an egg or something into a frying pan and it spat hot oil in my eyes and nearly blinded me

I had a housemate who just recently started learning how to cook for himself back in those days. He was cutting an onion with one of the flimsy long knifes while talking to me as I was cooking something at the stove. Mid sentence he suddenly started going AAH AAH and I looked to see blood all over his ring finger with what he was holding the onion with. Apparently he also had a weakness for blood so he nearly passed out right after. I dragged his ass to another room, gave him some fruit to pull up his blood sugar so I could drag his ass to a doctor. Apparently he cut off half his finger nail, got some banadages on them which got stuck to the wound so he had to tear them off later that day, having lost toenails before I know how much that shit hurts.

As for myself, had some peeling knifes stuck in my fingers on some occasions. Burned both my hands as a kid touching hot over glass. No scars which is good.

> meticulous with cutting technique for veg and meat. Never get cut.

Missing all the skin from my thumb knuckle on left thumb. Now have dime sized piece of meat on my thumb that probably came from a cadaver. It still does not have wrinkles in it and its a different color than my own hide.

Protip: Uncle cut his thumb off with a saw. His instinct told him to put it in a bag of ice and rush to the hospital. Doctors threw the thumb in the trash because it was now frostbit and unusable. Said next time just put it in a plastic bag and tuck it under your armpit to keep it up to body temperature.

>>6096089
was it dry coconut if so did you break into smaller manageable pieces

Knocked knife off counter
swung hand down to catch it
caught perfectly by the handle
the momentum of the catch drove the knife into my thigh.

Wasn't that bad though.
I've gotten really close to serious finger damage when I fuck around with blunt knives.
Though thankfully it only gets just past the fingernail.

Lost feeling on the tip of my right middle finger from burning it while seasoning a cast iron pan.

Didn't end up doing any lasting damage, but most painful experience was from searing meat in a pan and putting the pan in the oven to finish cooking.
When it was done I just grabbed the metal handle with my bare hand for some reason.

>>6098870
>next time
Ahahahah.

>>6096189
They say splitting a bagel is one of the most common kitchen injuries...yet he got hurt with chocolate.

Man, some of you got really fucked up.

Nothing that bad, just lots of burns and small cuts. Cut half my fingernail off last week, but that's fairly minor.

Every time I use a mandoline or the electric slicer at work I have these horrible thoughts about what could happen.

>>6098993
I believe that. I've spent many sweaty, tense hours slowly sliding a knife through a bagel while trying to keep the blade from hitting my hand. I really should get one of those bagel cutter things but I hate single use kitchen devices.

Blisters take a few hours to pop up sometimes.

I burn myself cooking all the fucking time dude. I burnt the shit out of my hand here. I stuck a pan in the oven because I had no other options and I grabbed the rubber handle thinking it wouldnt be hot. I learned that day. I learneded.

>>6097993
Fuck that.
I once had a vindaloo at a friend's place but made sure to wash my hands after eating, before going to the toilet, and afterwards to avoid burning my knob.
But like I knob, the next morning I grabbed a piece of leftover keema naan and mopped up the last of my vindaloo, forgot to wash my hands before peeing.
Ended up rinsing it under the cold tap for a minute or so.

>>6099204
What did you think of mine op? I got the steam burn on my wrist from the soup warmer hade a bad one today i was slicing some bread and cut my finger so deep i might have eternal bledding

>>6096070
hahaha faggot
are all white people this fucking weak?

A friend of mine dropped a keg on his foot while changing it. Broke his foot, ripped the toe nail off, blood everywhere. It was doubly shitty because he has a phobia of both feet and blood.

My mom once was making her own potato chips "to save money" and very nearly cut her pointer finger off. Dad promised to spring for the kettle chips from then on, as it was cheaper than the doctor bills.

I once worked at a breakfast place. To make toast, you would drop the bread onto this toaster conveyer belt. Sometimes, the toast would pile up and get stuck. I reached inside to dislodge the bread, and seared the top of my hand to the toaster in the process.

I was picking up a microwaved container of chilli and my thumb dipped in a little and it hurt.I put it under cold water, I think it's alright now.

Been cooking for about three years now, and I've managed a few nasties that have stuck around.

This one's from an oyster knife that slipped.

>>6100152
Can I get a printout of oyster smiling?

Kitchen horror stories? Okay.

I worked with a chick who was slicing a ham on the meatslicer. She pulled the ham back, and when she pushed forward really hard, her hand slipped off the grip and her whole arm flew forward into the fucking blade.

Nice thick slice of meat was dangling off her arm from halfway down her pinky finger up to her elbow.

She literally pulled her arm back from it, saw the blood everywhere, passed out and collapsed. She went white as shit and we drove her to the hospital where they wrapped it all up.

The skin healed back up fine since it was just cleaned and pushed back up where it was sliced off, but she still has no feeling in most of it.

And then another time at a different place we were doing some prep and I heard the guy behind me workong on the other table let out a quick yelp like a fucking dog. I look over and all his finger tips are missing because he was being an idiot with the fucking mandolin. Thank fucking god he was just using the straight edge and not one of the serrated ones for doing waffle cuts or shoestrings.

And for me, I lobbed off the end of my thumb cutting mushrooms. Knife was so sharp I didnt even notice until I saw the chunk on the board and wondered what it was. It wasnt a big enough chunk to re-attach,, and they couldnt do stitches, so they just bandaged it up. A big lump of scar tissue grew in and the end up my thumb looks normal now, but I cant feel anything in the tip.

>>6100171
>passed out and collapsed

Is it possible to pass out without collapsing?

>>6100189
regularly when drinking with buddys

>>6100189

People do it alot. They stumble back to lean or brace themselves on something, but because they are losing conciousness instead of reaching for something they pass out as they are moving backwards and crumple like a piece of paper.
