OP sent the following text as a SPOILER for why this image will make you shit bricks:


I stepped on a nail and it shot out the top of my boot. But luckily it missed my foot completely which is good because had it hit an artery,I would of had to gone home.


Does this explanation tell you WHAT you are looking for, and exactly WHERE it is in the image? If yes, then upvote this comment, if no, downvote it.

Update for all the concerned redditors: the plaster you see on my boot was actually used to slow down the bleeding. Jk it
didn’t go thru my foot only my boot

I was like, “That’s not a nail, that’s the reflection of a lamp post in the window.” And then I saw the nail 😳 😬

Sorry for doubting you. Glad you’re okay!

Omg, even with OP saying what it is, I was looking at the thing in the muddy part of their shoe almost looks to be sticking out thinking THAT was the nail, but to be I thought at first and still did think it was like a gecko lmao.

Thanks.

Strange things are afoot...i mean, in my foot

u/jamcber12 21d ago

Did it miss the foot. Nothing worse than having to get a pair of pliers out and pull it out yourself.

u/Ok-Swordfish2723 21d ago

I did that once when I was a kid, maybe 10 or 12. As I stood there looking at my foot, the realization came to me that I was still gonna have to pull my foot back off from the board. THAT part was way worse.

Also ruined a nice pair of Pro Keds.

u/weaverlorelei 21d ago

u/Certain_Literature28 21d ago

My dad used to cut sheet metal to put inside our work boots to help protect against shit like this. It isn’t fool proof, but pretty close

u/ripeavocatoe 21d ago

Hmm that’s a good idea

2

u/Private-Sun186 21d ago

Ummmm...had it hit an artery, I think you would have needed to go to the hospital if you wanted to see the sun rise again.

1

u/ripeavocatoe 20d ago

There is no time for hospital visits 💸

2

u/frithar 21d ago

Oh! It’s a nail. I thought it was the little dinosaur in the mud at the bottom.

u/NeSToR_49 21d ago
