The only thing worse than stepping on legos are protruding rusty nails --just thinking about it makes me recoil.

- doubled112 4y agoHah, core memory triggered. As a kid I jumped off of a swing onto a rusty nail. Yes, I was barefoot. I seem to remember it went in pretty smooth, and barely felt it, but then I had to pull it out. I actually think Lego has been more uncomfortable.
- taneq 4y agoUgh, why did I have to read that? >.< I had a similar experience walking through mud and finding an old rustic tin can with its lid sticking out. Sliced up a wide shallow flap of skin, I think I still have the scar…
- dustymcp 4y agoHaha i remember doing halloween and we had to hit a pinata thing which was essentially a barrel with candy in it, when it was down i walked over it just to get a rusty nail in my foot, i swear the lego still hurts more than that.
- stordoff 4y agoI'd add UK mains plugs[1] to that category. I've seen multiple people compare them to caltrops, and for good reason.

- MerelyMortal 4y agoI've stepped on rusty nails twice in my life. The nails maybe went into my foot each time by about half a centimeter. They didn't really hurt. The very small area felt mildly sore. I've heard that getting stabbed feels like being punched. I imagine it's similar mechanism, just on a smaller scale.
