    Two things I hate, an electric plug with the terminals facing up and the other is dog sh*te, especially when it gets stuck between the toes.

    I'd say standing on some druggies used needle would be worse.

    Can't speak from experience on this one tho'. I tend to wear shoes 99% of the time.

    Not having stood on dog **** while bare footed I can't really say but here are my top 3

    1. A nail pointing upwards
    2. Electrical plug
    3. Broken glass

    The top of Croagh Patrick.

    See people climbing every year in their bare feet, some for the fun, most because they're making a lousy attempt to get to heaven. Poor fúckers. But it's still entertaining though

    I crushed a massive spider underfoot recently.
    Stood on a broken bottle hidden in the sand before and slashed my foot open.
    Plugs and thumbtacks are unpleasant too.

    Wasp. Stepped on one when I was barefoot as a child and nearly screamed the house down.

    That reminds of the time I sat on a wasp when I was young.

    Worse if they fly into your lid on a bike and don't sting straight away, ie You feel a tickle first.

    That actually sent a shiver down my spine. That tickle would freak me out.

    Any who, I guess vomit or diarrhoea would be pretty bad. Both would be worse.

    AID's infected needle!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    An upside down lego brick is the absolute worst.



    Although I did stand on a mouse once... that was unpleasant.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 171 ✭✭Seonad


    A stonefish...I'd imagine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭Sparky


    very hot paving stones when you get out of the pool.

    Sizzle :(

    Terminals up into the middle of your feet instead.

    Stepped on a glass someone left on my stairs once, as I put my weight on it the glass shattered and a spike of glass about an inch long buried itself into my foot. Not pleasant.

    Worst part was my dad was a paramedic so he pulled it out cleaned the wound and sent me to school. Bastard :mad:

    The face up plug is actually more painful though I think, damn I fukking hate them!

    No. An actual mouse... didn't kill it either... just sort of snapped it's spine.

    My sister did that once, trying to get away from it...:eeeek: (her not the mouse)

    Jumped off the couch barefoot when I was about 5 and landed on my old mans car keys that were on the floor for some reason. One of the keys went through the sole of my foot and kinda came out the top of my foot but without breaking the skin. You could see the end of the key through the bulge of flesh and skin. One of my earliest memories actually. Wonder why I remember it? :D

    came in to work one monday mornin, was too hungover to start so I went down to the beach for a wake and bake, took off my shoes walked out to the waters edge, turned around looked back and the whole beach was covered in the Bastids, got off light tho, only a few minor brushes against the soles of me feet as I was walkin out, knew about it about 5 hours later when the adrenalin wore off and I couldnt use my Right foot for about a week

    While out camping in wilderness country I had some buffalo steaks and sweet corn the night before washed down with robust red wine.

    I woke about 0600 and needed a dump,so tipped out of the tent and unloaded a soft 8 pounder close by.Down to the creek to clean up, but on the way back ,yes!, bang, big foot straight on her,still hot!!! totally caked.

    A young lady who was in a adjoining tent heard the commotion and got up to investigate.

    The look on her face when she saw the offending foot still stays with me,she didn't:mad::mad:

    Done that too, worst part was that it was a very deep cut and sand was still in there when it healed so I had to open it again to clean it out properly.:(

    Upturned plugs are quite painful.
    Wasp sting, hurts like hell but the pain seems to fade faster.
    Oddly a cocktail stick, (yup, lifted my foot up to pull out whatever was sticking in and was surprised to find one of these buggers) seems to hurt more and for far longer IMO.

    Worms! I live near the beach and often walk about bare footed. Went into this bate and tackle shop a few weeks back to buy a root beer, and ug! Someone had spilled worms used as fishing bate on the floor, and I didn't see the spill until it was too late, stepping on some in my bare feet. Yuk!

    I know a girl who, when she was a student, impaled her foot on the open rings of a ring binder which was lying next to her bed. She had to get stitches and was on crutches for a while.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,745 ✭✭✭doonothing


    A snail :( pointy and hard and sore and squishy and nasty

    In fact, I think it's worse to step on a slug, while in your socks...

    I think a lad in my school stood on his pet gerbil or hamster in his bare feet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 938 ✭✭✭chuci


    A jelly fish *shudders * did this a few times
    A spider, when i realised what i stepped on i passed out.
    The face of a plug- hurts like hell.
    I stapled my toe once but thats not really standing on anything.

    Crabs in shallow water as a kid on a beach use to terrify me.
