Today, while taking out the trash, I swung the bag back and forth, which caused it to slide across my leg. An opened aluminum can inside the bag ended up slicing through my calf, causing heavy bleeding. Baked beans sent me to the hospital. FML

winstonweigand tells us more.

Hey y'all it's OP here. This story was actually from a few years back, but someone asked me about the nasty scar on my leg and it reminded me of this event and how pathetic it was. This is how it happened: My family was cleaning out all the cupboards in our kitchen, and when it came to the cans, my dad would open them, empty them and then throw the can in the trash. He tends to not give a shit about Mother Nature. I was tasked with taking the trash out. The can was at the bottom of the bag, facing outwards, and the bag was stretched tight, but it didn't split open so the can wasn't protruding. I was swinging the bag back and forth because I was happy we were done, but when it hit my leg I felt a funny tickling feeling, only to look down and see blood gushing out of a large wound in my leg. Naturally, I was hysterical, because I had no idea how it had happened. The story actually gets funnier from here. In my panic, I ran inside to my family, but since I was bleeding so much, I slipped on my own blood upon entering the kitchen and slammed into a wall head first. I never felt pain throughout the whole thing because of all the adrenaline. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital getting an anesthetic shot DIRECTLY into the gash, followed by a bunch of stitches. Your comments were really funny hahaha, and yeah, we should have recycled, but I was just following my dad's orders! When I'm on my own, I always recycle. I guess Mother Nature punishes those who associate with environment criminals as well :)

I know the feeling. I once sliced my pinky open with a can of Vienna sausage.

If you decided to sum up your entire story with just your last sentence, I'm sure that pretty much everyone would think you were talking about explosive diarrhea or something of that nature.

this happened to me but with a steak knife, when my idiot roommate decided to fill a bag with cutlery while drunk the night before we moved out. I have about nine scars crisscrossing the back of my leg.

I guess you could say u got "Baked" BA DUM CHIIIII Thank you Thank you, I'll be here all night

Buy one can of baked beans and get a free tetanus shot! Offer restricted to certain cans (and your health insurance).

This exact same thing happened to me! Only I wasn't swinging the bag. I still have the scar. I feel you op!
