I stepped on a jar of point-up extra sharp pencils when I was ~7. Only one was in the right spot to enter my foot, but it did so with a vengeance. Then of course the tip broke off inside. I still have a black spot on the bottom of my foot 13 years later.

My best friend/neighbor and I had to get tetanus shots about 6 months ago (He somehow put a screw through his ear, I sliced open my thumb on a steel outlet cover, separate instances), and we both got tetanus shots. We pretty much act like we are invincible now when we are working around rusty nails. We've had tetanus shots, what's the worst that could happen? If you want to join our club, it requires an accidental event resulting in 5 or more stitches and a tetanus shot.

I stepped on a large sewing needle. Extra points since the eye of the needle went in first? Wow, force! I must stomp around like a super mario brothers 3 castle boss.

When I was a kid, I was "helping" my dad demolish an old shed in the backyard. He pulled the nails out of the old boards. He went to go get something, and I grabbed the hammer and pounded one of the nails back into a board. When he came back, he stepped on that nail and got hurt bad enough to go to the ER. I never told him I did it.

Ever had a metal rebar go through your foot? THAT hurts. It's funny too, because when I lifted my foot, the 20-pound piece of concrete it was poking out of lifted into the air too. It took two friends to yank it off my foot, which healed nicely. That was in 1992 if I recall.

Compared to some of these stories this isn't much, but when I was 15 or so I stepped on a sewing needle and it went literally THROUGH MY FOOT. It was sticking out the other side and everything! It was one of those with the little plastic balls on the end, though, so my mother convinced me to stop screaming long enough for her to grab hold and yank it out.

It went through my shoe and into my foot about half an inch. Lots of blood and very tender for a week or two, but I lived to tell the tale! Florida Sunday 07th of December 2008 11:45 pm

It's a good thing your tetanus shot is up-to-date. Now you don't need to worry about Lockjaw the named alligator in the swamp of Oasis. Georgia Monday 08th of December 2008 5:53 pm

I stepped on a toothpick A few years ago when I was 8. it was in there for 90 minutes,and it took 4 seconds to get out. 4/4/04 was a day I'll never forget because of that. Nevada Tuesday 09th of December 2008 5:09 pm

When I was about 12 my mom had a Christmas present 'bow maker' that was a cylinder that you load little plasitic arrow heads onto. I stepped onto that. So I had a little plastic arrrow head in my foot. My mom pulled it out. I couldn't even look. It hurt. I've also had two 1/2 inch long wooden splinters go under the same pinky nail. That poor pinky. No scars from any of that. California Wednesday 10th of December 2008 3:49 pm

I want to know why the side garage door is missing the door knob. Oh and watch the foot. I've seen a nail push some of the shoe into a foot. And now the guy walks on a peg. Which is not as exciting as it sounds. California Saturday 13th of December 2008 6:51 pm

hey, I have an idea: I'll post a story and try to one-up yours. nevermind, that was a silly idea. North Carolina Monday 15th of December 2008 11:17 pm

About 20 years ago i was doing some painting on the roof of a Dairy Queen and stepped on a nail. Pulled out the nail, cleaned up my foot, no big deal. Next day the foot was a football. Got rushed to the emergency room. Spent 3 days in the hospital hooked up to IV's. FYI-Its not the nail that gets you, its the bacteria in your shoe. Florida Monday 22nd of December 2008 3:48 am

There was a pro golfer named Buddy Allin who suffered from terrible heel problems. When they x-rayed his heel, they saw that there was a sewing needled embedded in it. He must have stepped on it as a child when his bones were softer, and it was there ever since. He had to live with it, as the only way to get it out would have been to shatter his heel.

About 5 years ago, I stepped on the clip of a metal clothes-hanger. It went in, hit the bone, and gouged out a chunk of flesh. It bled PROFUSELY, but I'm terrified of stitches, so I used superglue instead of going to the ER. Burns like hell, but it works. I still have a scar on the bottom of my foot.

While at work as a bartender this summer, the mirror bar that hangs overhead (storage area) fell down on top of me, giving me softball sized bruises on all contact points, as well as driving 1970's mirrored, metallic trim through my wrist and finger. Tetanus shots are awesome! Oklahoma Saturday 27th of December 2008 4:32 pm

I fired a 16d nail into a board that had a knot. The nail hit the knot, the nail bent and went into my forearm that wasn't holding the nailgun. My arm flew away from the baord it was holding. I figured it went in about an inch deep. Not much blood, but I know pain. Indiana Saturday 27th of December 2008 8:16 pm

Me and a friend once made an arrow from bamboo cane with a nail on the end, fired from a catapult which would drive it pretty deep into a wooden fence panel. My friend managed to somehow fire it through the skin between his thumb and forefinger...took a good bit of pulling to get it out and hes still got the scar. No tetanus though... Good times!

When I was young, I stepped on a thumb tack with bare feet, it was flat with my foot when I lifted it. I was just like "woh", it didn't really hurt but it sucked a little. Florida Tuesday 30th of December 2008 11:23 am

I\'m a lifeguard, and yesterday at work, while walking around the guard room in my bare feet like i normally do, I stepped on a thumb tack. I lifted my foot up to see that the entire tack was stuck in my foot. The worst part was having to rip it out. It didn\'t bleed much, but now it hurts to walk around :( West Virginia Sunday 24th of May 2009 8:27 am

when i was 7 i was playing with a slinky on the stairs and someone had stacked some metal sheetrocking corners on them. i went up to place the slinky on the top step, but i caught my pinky toe on the sheetrocking corner. i almost lost it. then my sister\'s genious friend said let\'s put her in the bathtub and run the water... i thought i was bleeding to death for sure... then i fainted.
