        Tap for NSFW T.M.I.

        When I was experimenting as a quite young teen, I routinely used a 10mm Allen wrench for ‘self exploration.’ One day I wanted to try something bigger but the only thing that fit the bill was the handle of a hammer… Surely lubricated wood is more gentle than cold hard steel? Eh… Suffice it to say: the blunt end and relatively sharp corners were not kind to my small behind. Life is full of lessons, and some are a pain in the ass.

            1. Someone somewhere asked; they just didn’t know it yet

            2. That’s a good summary for most human social interaction

            3. At least it’s a little on topic and I did spoiler it

              It’s classic trauma-dumping behavior. People see a post that is barely related to some part of their lives (meaningless to every one else), and they blurt it out hoping it gets a bunch of le updoots (attention).

                1. You seem to not know what trauma-dumping is

                2. The topic and comments reminded me of a funny life experience which seemed relevant (brave dildoing of a definitely-not-a-dildo tool which typically has a wooden handle). Lemmy doesn’t even have karma and this is an anonymous account. It was shared with a comedic tone in an attempt to amuse readers with a funny topical anecdote; which it seems to have done.

                3. I guess I’m not the only one who’s butthurt :P (that’s actually just played up for the punchline; the physical sensation wasn’t significant memorable at all, but the oddity of the situation was)

                Since you’re ratioed and it’s not even close, it might not have been so meaningless. Why, do you think, do people give so much attention when it’s barely related and meaningless?

    When I worked in unloading package trucks in college there was always a few idiots who would ship dangerous stuff in totally unacceptable ways.

    That looks like a repackage job. Somebody put an axe into a regular box and shipped it. The axe came cutting out of the box somewhere along the journey. This is the type of repackaging that we would do if it didn’t endanger anyone. We’s also put a no belt sticker on it and put a hold on the shipment until the asshole paid for shipping an dangerous object. Everyone then knew what it was and it was shipped safely.

    I once had a box fall off a tier and 10 sharp unsheathed bayonets stabbed into the deck less than 1cm from my foot. Some idiot had stacked a whole bunch of lead bullets for reloading on one side of the box and placed the unsheathed bayonets on top of them at an angle. Since all the weight was on one side, it tipped over off of the stack and fell. The blades came out on on impact and stuck 2cm into the deck next to my foot.

    We returned the box to the sender, after using a bunch of bubble wrap and several rolls of clear tape to turn each bayonet into a ball.

      Yeesh. Close call there.

      That makes sense, it not being properly packaged. Also gotta stack things safely when in storage.
