If I put my hand on a table, and someone slams a hammer next to it, I would be justified in being upset about the near-miss as it had a big chance of hurting me

If I put my hand on a table, and someone slams a hammer next to it, I would be justified in being upset about the near-miss as it had a big chance of hurting me. If the hammer is on the table, and I put my hand next to it, there is really no reason for anyone to be angry. I didn't hurt the hammer. And I'm not a hypocrite, as in this case the chance of hurting myself was zero.
