Was pulling the battery out of one of my cars and needed to cut a zip tie, rather than going to grab sidecutters I just decided to use my knife. Well needless to say that wasn't the smartest idea when cutting at an awkward angle on something your holding. Seven stitches later and a few days off work will remind me to stop and think. The knife went into the base of my left thumb and left a approximately 2 inch long cut, luckily I missed all the tendons and still have use of my thumb. The worst part is the fact I was by myself at the shop where I work (this all happed two days ago on the weeked) going into shock and bleeding heavily. By chance my parents happened to drive by and I waved them down to take me to the hospital.
TL;DR in a rush to get shit done and stabbed my left thumb.
