Just to prove that I’ve always been the black sheep, I’ll entertain you with a story from the past around just over ten years ago. See, me and my brother were riding back home from the city in my dad’s car, my brother drove. I was still in junior high so I wasn’t old enough to drive.

Well we arrived to our garage and I got up to open the doors (side hinged) so my brother could just drive in. One of the doors had a brace bar with a handle on the forehead level that needed to be pulled downwards in order to open the door. Well when I was opening the doors my brother revved the engine and started to crawl the car towards the garage as he used to do. So I thought I better get the hell out of the way and took a sharp right turn. Too sharp. I hit my head to the handle and it punctured right side of the head. Blood started to spray out with moderate pressure - enough for me to start fucking panicking somewhat. So I got in to our home quickly as I can and we tried to get the blood spray down by using a cold shower and towels and it somewhat did.

With a bloodied and wet towel against the wound my brother drove me to the emergency room and the doctor there asked what the hell happened while he was stiching me up. I told him what happened and it seemed that he couldn’t grasp the idea that somebody could actually hurt himself like that to a garage door brace bar handle and I think he never quite believed my story. Anyways he told me that I’d been lucky, less than one centimeter upper and I would have punctured an artery and the blood spray could have been serious, even fatal.

So in the end I ended  up with a few stiches and wearing a huge "glue bandage" over my head for about a week or two. But seriously: Who hurts their head accidentally to a door handle, I mean really?
