THE "WTF were they thinking" thread!

Lucky you. I had a friend staple his eyeball.

I was thinking about this tonight and remembered that I actually have a one up story for this. I know a guy who was putting his keyboard away after a gig one night, and the bungie cord let go, swung around the keyboard, hooked him in the eye and actually tore his eyeball out of the socket. He has had a glass eye ever since I've known him.

I did that once a few years back. One of them hammer swing style staplers.....putting up insulation in the Buie barn.

It's a special variation of Suck that is advisably discouraged speaking for myself. I think the hammering effect adds to the actual flesh stapling experience if you're motivated enough to give it a go.

Yeah buddy, only a minor flesh wound, but it still sucks.

Yes it does...

I'm also glad it wasn't a post about being in the ER missing a digit. It only takes a second, man.

"Is this thing loade... *pop* ARGGHHHGHGH"

In his defense, it was a ricochet. Kinda like a cross between that guy that blew his hat off with the .50BMG round and the guy that blew his leg off with the tannerite/lawn mower blade.

Doesn't seem like a good character defense if those are the analogies you're using. lol.

Mmmm, glass eye story.

I don't recall what precipitated the event besides the usual drinking, lying, and card playing shenanigans, but when I was a wee lad, my father got into a very drunken brawl with a dear friend of his in deer camp one year that had a glass eye. Knocked it out when they "went outside" to settle things like real men do, and then they all spent the next hour or so crawling around on hands on knees looking for Skippy's glass eye. Thankfully, it was early season and there was no snow to speak of outside the cabin.

Shouldn't have looked at your dad funny.

I was at a buffet with my manager at the time, who sneezed and his glass eye fell out onto his plate. We all kind of looked away like nothing happened. He just wiped it off and popped it back in. Nothing was said.

This one? Thought it was poor choice of ad myself.



If you're unarmed, you are a victim

Looks like BusinessInsider poached the image for the cover of one of their articles. Well, there is probably some original image that both companies used, but you get the idea.

Welcome to the world of micro stock photography. It killed a commercial photography revenue source we relied on to pay the bills. The Business Insider article even has the Shutterstock credit on it.

For about $25 you too can use this image in your business advertising or blog article.

BI must pay a yearly subscription for a catalog of available photos. Otherwise, I can't imagine paying $25 just to toss an image into an article that is barely better than ClickBait.
