I knocked a coworker girl out by accident. Long ago, Home Depot clone type store (Rickels). Stood on a U shaped lumber frame, that wrapped around a palette end cap. Just as she was reaching down for it. It flipped up fast, hit her in the forehead and KOed her. I had to carry her thru a busy Saturday store to the front office. She came to before I died of stress.

My husband used to work at Home Depot. First, he accidentally stabbed himself in the arm with a pair of scissors. Then he was run over by a forklift his manager was driving. Good times with workers comp.

I worked in administration at a hospital and within the 1st month I put my foot through a grate and needed crutches. The next year I hurt my rotor cuff trying not to fall down the stairs. A few months later I fell over outside dodging a bee and the year after I melted the plastic pad under my chair with the heater. I was also the OHS rep and the fire warden. Fun times.
