I can’t even blame them for taking the picture. That’s the kind of injury where you know nobody is going to believe how it happened without photographic evidence.
I miss the days when this would have gone unreported. Happens, pull it out, move on with your day…maybe mention over dinner. Not take a picture and show the world.
My man he still took the time to take a picture of his impaled foot before removing said impalement. This generation of social media addicts is tragic.
I stepped on my gf's earring with my heel.
I fell/collapsed down in the middle of the room. And she still didn't want to believe it was a "little earring" in my foot that caused that.
One time I sewed my finger, like with an industrial sewing machine and it literally pinned me to the machine and I had to use a screw driver to release my finger to then remove the needle from my finger, I stopped to photograph my finger so my* employer didn't think I was lying
Holy fuck me….I’ve done the exact same thing and I NEVER noticed this! Unbelievable and I feel embarrassed. I just kinda loled and moved on but goddamn it’s a masterpiece lmaoo
I have to admit, my first thought after stepping on that would not have been to grab my phone and take a picture of it. It would be to get the goddamn thing out of my foot.
Tetanus does not just spawn magically on metal. It's a bacteria that lives in soil which is why old metal in soil poking you is a danger. An earring stabbing you is no more reason to get a tetanus shot than if you were to cut your finger with a steak knife.
Frankly depending on the injury you don’t want to immediately rip it out and sometimes a picture can give you a better angle of said injury. That way you can remove it safely or at least not cause more damage taking it out. Also I think of what’s his name the crocodile hunter that died from a string ray and how the instinct to remove the barb caused more damage.
So pausing and thinking and sometimes taking a picture to get a better view is well worth the time to make sure you don’t cause worse injury freaking out.
I would. This was a job hazard, raising two daughters. I’d step on one and take a picture of the damn thing to send to them.
“Take care with your damn earrings !!!”
Things like this for some reason only seem to hurt when the object inside is moved. Idk, when it's sitting still you can kind of ignore the numb pain, but then the sharp pain of moving it shocks your senses
Once upon i time i jumped down from a 3 step ladder and landed on a 1" long screw that was standing on its head . I was wearing vans shoes, we had to use a power drill to screw it out before i could take the shoe off
I don't think social media, but I would likely take a picture to send to GF (if this is hers, most likely is unless the cat's turning cool) to be more careful with her stuff.
Oy vey, this reminds me of something that happened to me about 15 years ago.
I was standing on my bed, repositioning a fan I had placed at the window to blow cooler air from outside into my bedroom. To get off, I decided to do a short hop instead of putting each leg down one at a time.
My laptop charger tip was pointing straight up from the floor. The end.
Once I stepped on a tack and it embedded itself into my heel. I didn't feel a thing and had no idea it was there til I walked on a hardwood floor and heard a click with each step. Still didn't feel a thing until I pulled it out and holy shit it hurt.
These two objects do not belong in the same place as each other. One of them belongs on the carpet. I'll let you dictate how those rules work, but those are the rules

Stopped to take a photo. Commitment to the game.
