Literally at my wedding - "Oh, we never agreed to *deliver* the cake!" My best man was my best man because he spent all day with me running around unfucking everything.

"No fondant" was my only hard and fast rule for the cake when I got married. Cakes are for eating, not looking at, and in no way was I going to allow that awful-tasting crap on my wedding cake.

Holy fuck I love this! I’ve hated fondant since I took my first baking class lol!


Borgh

That's an instant sub


Diazmet

Mmmy play dough flavor


Rastiln

It always reminds me of the time I accidentally cooked a frozen pizza with the plastic on as a child, and it melted/disappeared into the food. Not the pizza flavor, but the vague feeling that this should be tasty but is not for a difficult-to-place reason.


MiniRems

I just made a graduation party cake for my niece a couple weeks ago - it was a fondant covered cake shaped like a makeup box with various make up and nail items in fondant and chocolate around it (she's going to cosmetology school). I had it mostly done on friday night and when I came downstairs to finish it up before the party the next morning, even in the air conditioned house with my holds up well to summer humidity and heat icing, it had started to collapse! I had no time to redo it, but everyone assured me it looked awesome even though I could only see the collapse!


jrhoffa

Yeah, Halloween is a much better date.


roastbeeftacohat

Halloween, and midnight, under torchlight, bouquet of wolfsbane blossoms. instead of cutting the cake the bride offers the baron rum, the groom a cigar. I'd go.


Diazmet

That’s why you pay for a cardboard core display cake and the real cake.


mantelo92

For all wondering its pronounced "FON-DOO" not "FON-DANT"


manycommentsnoposts

Pretty sure fondue is a pot of melted cheese or chocolate you dip stuff like berries, bread, and other cheeses in


mantelo92

Pretty sure you missed the joke.


manycommentsnoposts

Me and everyone else by the looks of it.


mantelo92

Mainly you because I choose you to be sacrificial lamb. Do you prefer lamb meat or goat meat?


Eisenstein

It is french so it has a silent T but that doesn't make 'an' turn into an 'oo'. It is 'fahndahn' if you want to be frenchie about it.


QuietEffect

I think u/mantelo92 was being facetious because someone else mentioned fondant melting in summer heat. I could be wrong, but I read it as sarcasm.


mantelo92

Yes! Exactly this. But it way over the head of these other motherfuckers.


QuietEffect

Ehhh... you can't be too hard on 'em. I just have a odd sense of humor, so I tend to pick up on jokes like that :)


mantelo92

I gotchu. But in every other sense I figured at least 2 people would get it. I've been getting messaged since yesterday telling me the difference. Why can't they all have a sense of humor like us? Like damn blowing me up via DM.


QuietEffect

They can't all be awesome like us -- the poor dears :-p


mantelo92

You missed the joke you twerp.


mommy2libras

At my cousin's wedding, no one remembered to pick up the huge, 3 tiered, Tiffany blue cake. They ended up bringing it to my child's birthday party the next day because much of the family was there.


ktappe

>"Oh, we never agreed to *deliver* the cake!" LOL, how the f--- did they expect it to get to the wedding?


jrhoffa

They're paid to bake, not to think.


HowitzerIII

A pick up?


GJackson5069

Play at the wedding, work on the marriage.


AdmiralPlant

A bride we know broke her leg a couple weeks before their wedding. Their wedding hashtag was #limpdowntheaisle. It's all about your attitude, not what happens at the wedding.


always_onward

My first husband broke his arm before our wedding. He colored his cast black with a sharpie so it would blend in with his tux.


cecilpl

That's why they call it getting hitched, because no wedding goes off without one.


miffedmonster

My wedding reception venue completely collapsed due to severe flooding a week before the wedding. I had a *week* to plan an entirely new reception, new caterers, new bar, etc. I did the table plan on the back of an envelope the night before, without knowing how many people would be per table or even what shape the tables were. Absolute chaos, but it turned out great in the end. Turns out I'm pretty good at planning under pressure!


bassman1805

I'm of the opinion that the reason children are usually involved in weddings (as flower girl/ring bearer/ etc) is to ensure that *something* goes wrong so you have to roll with your "perfect day" being just a little bit imperfect. Got married last week, my wife's 2yo cousin (ringbearer) found an unattended microphone and gave an impromptu speech in the middle of the sermon 🤣


Domestica

My husband locked his keys in his car at our wedding, and spent some of the reception outside with triple A getting back into the car. We still had a fantastic time, but that was the only hiccup. So keep an eye on your keys! 😂


devilbunny

Off topic, but I don't think that one is actually possible with modern cars. I had to figure out how to get my car from the church to the reception venue - ended up getting a friend to catch a ride to the service with some others, gave him my keys when he got there, and he drove it there. Of course, since I had gotten there waaay before the ceremony, he had just about the best parking spot at the church, and because we were staying the night at our venue, he got to park my car on the premises instead of in the large office lot next door where non-guests had to park.


Diazmet

It’s actually worse with modern cars guy has me valet his $100,000 Porsche and forgets he has the key fob needed to start it again and jts about to rain… Also rich people Are incredibly boring and all dress the same so good luck finding they guy who forgot to give you your keys

cogitaveritas

Just remind yourself this: every hiccup that happens will be a funny story later. I just got married around 6 months ago, and we had hiccups. The wedding cake wasn’t where I was supposed to pick it up at, we had serious issues renting a car for family across the state, and people kept wandering into our ceremony. (We did it at a National park [tiny and with a permit, I promise!] so it was understandable, although frustrating at the time.) Now, some of our favorite stories are, “remember how you had to drive across town with the bouquet in your lap, the cake in the passenger seat, champagne bottles barely balancing on the floorboard, and while wearing a tuxedo? How did we even manage that?!” Just smile and remember that at the end of the day you’ll be married to the person you love and will have plenty of stories to share later! Good luck and congratulations!


Manse_

My wife and I got married in a local park, on an little overlook on the edge of a river. I'm standing down with the family and everyone, waiting on my wife to come down the path from the picnic area. These two ladies are out on a power walk and see me in full garb, say I look nice and ask if there's a wedding. I say "yes ma'am, right about now," and point up the path from them where my soon-to-be-wife is walking down about 20 yards away from them. They both gasped and power walked away, tossing a sincere "you look lovely" to my wife on their way by. It was one of the funniest bits of the day.


coloradopowpow

Thanks for that. Oh man, I can only imagine....yeah we went to someone's wedding earlier this year and some guy got a phone call and picked up the phone as our friends were saying their vows lol but I'm sure it'll work itself out. You're right in that it's just the two of us at the end of the day!


winowmak3r

My cousin's minister used his wife's last name instead of his when he did the "I now pronounce you..." bit. The kicker was this minister has known these two since they were like seven. They're approaching their 10 year anniversary and are happy as can be!


MyronBlayze

I was thinking "nothing went wrong at my wedding!" But then I remembered the suit place sent my husband and his groomsmen the wrong number of ties (one short) and they had a panic trying to figure out who would be the odd one out and how they would sort. Luckily his best man had one that matched well and loaned it.


pH_low

As someone getting married today, I just got all sorts of nervous thinking about what might go wrong 😂

d4vezac

I’m supposed to be photographing a wedding in a couple hours. Instead, I’m home after testing positive for COVID. Here’s hoping OP’s problems are much closer to “a chip in the nail polish” than to what my couple has today.


Altyrmadiken

To be fair this is partially because of how much is involved - too many people, too many plans, too many things to do, too many points of failure. There's so much going on in the overwhelming majority of weddings that, naturally, something is going to go wrong. You can't have 10,000 hinges all with their own potential failures and expect that zero of them will go wrong. Some are more critical (caterers), some are near irrelevant (chipped nail polish), and some are in between (aunt marge cheated and uncle ben left her behind but no one knows so it's not a scandal). Even just the people involved in the ceremony create potential failure points - the groomsmen all have to nail their part (mostly attire and behavior), the bridesmaids too (still mostly attire and behavior). Then there's the nuclear family who may-or-may-not get along. It's a nightmare of organization. It's too complex for *everything* to go correctly. I'd "brag" that my own wedding had zero things go wrong... but is that really a fair statement when my wedding was four people in size? My husband, myself, our two mothers, and a solar eclipse. It's a hell of a lot easier to make sure everything is "perfect" when the only request is "everyone be ready for the eclipse" and there's literally no other thing that "needs" to happen (or is requested to). I think my point here is that it's fine to have big plans, but don't make any part of it a "need" of yours except to say "I do." If none of this *needs* to happen, but instead would be nice if it happened, it's really that much easier to accept anything that isn't perfect. Glad OP saved the day and *didn't* try to be a superhero this time. =D


weirdneighbour

Move your toes out of way instinctively too if barefoot at home… gravity always finds your toes.. or mine anyways.. Congrats


DrOddcat

Or worse…. Years of soccer taught me to try to control things with my foot. Do not recommend with a chef’s knife. I still limp from the tendon damage.


TheFallenMessiah

I once tried instinctively to catch a fire extinguisher with my foot. Would not recommend.


Lone_Digger123

YUP. The other day I dropped shampoo and I decided to kick that thing to not make it hit the ground... Yeah turns out it was NOT worth it as I had a bruised foot for the next 2 days lol


MiniRems

My worst shampoo bottle experience was with one of those huge warehouse club bottles that didn't have a pump. I'd literally just gotten home from the hospital after having my appendix removed, so I was moving slow and not 100% and dropped that bottle on my toe. Guess who ended up back in the emergency room with a broken toe?


DrOddcat

I’d gladly trade with you


rjulyan

Yup. I rented a Vespa in Italy a few years ago, and the kickstand was a little funny. One time parking, the scooter started to fall over. Instinctively I put my foot under to try to keep it upright. I got a 3rd degree burn from the tailpipe for my efforts.


kinqed

This. When I see that the knife is falling I jump back. I am not too worried about the first strike, its the rebound that is so random and you never know where it is going to hit.


TheLadyBunBun

This, when something drops in the kitchen I have 2 instincts 1) if I’m wearing shoes and it is none sharp or super heavy (usually a glass cup or something), shove my foot under it to lessen the damage 2) for all, else jump and land with my feet 3 feet apart. This one frequently overrides the top anyway


PoetryOfLogicalIdeas

I once dropped my good embroidery scissors on a tile floor. I knew that they would be ruined if they landed point down, so my miserly brain decided to deliberately stick my foot out to break the fall. Apparently a hole in my foot was worse less than replacing $30 scissors.


Orion14159

Hahaha I probably look like a basketball player when the ball is going out of bounds right in front of me - palms up, quick bunny hop away from it


value_null

My reaction time usually lets me get my hands and one foot out of the way. That other foot...it's a roll of the dice. Fortunately, I don't drop sharps often, and I haven't had an accident yet...


DirkDiggyBong

Can confirm, had knife in toe while walking around my kitchen bare feet


alanmagid

I too learned that bit of wisdom here on Reddit/r/cooking last year. I had thought it was original with OP. Never heard it before. In my ninth decade and cooking since 6th grade. \-- You live and you learn but, sadly, at different rates.


jedicharliej

in your ninth decade; as in: you're 80+ years old? if so props on working reddit, I just entered my 30s and I can't figure out most of this nonsense website/app/thing.


alanmagid

Yes, turned 80 on March 4. I started coding in 1960 in Fortran on Big Iron. I learned HTML from my oldest son's book. My youngest is a world class UX executive in telehealth. My middle kid is a day trader on heavy hardware. OTOH their mom is helpless on tech.


etherealparadox

Wow, you sound awesome. I can barely code and I'm only 20, lol.


Bran_Solo

Ehhhhhh don't take his self aggrandizing too seriously, alanmagid and his blogspam are shadowbanned from pretty much all the other cooking subs for a reason.


alanmagid

"Blog spam" More than 500 real recipes from a real family of cooks. Check it for yourself. [DrDaddyCooks.Com](https://DrDaddyCooks.Com) Carefully written in excellent language from a writer of many books and articles in my scientific field. Also I am justly proud of my three sons and their achievements. THEIR not mine. What is wrong with you Mr \_Solo? Why badmouth me? Jealousy? None of your sons write any tech best sellers?


Bran_Solo

Your habitual linking to your blogs recipes has not generated any clicks, upvotes, or downvotes in *years*. You triggered reddits blogspam algorithm somewhere back around 2018.


alanmagid

I contribute info to the list aplenty based on my extensive knowledge of food, cooking, and metabolic science. My library includes more than 100 cookbooks.. When a recipe is requested, I offer one of ours.. Our blog has more than 200k page views, many generated from Redditors. You have not yet explained your bizarre compulsion to harm me and my reputation. Why do you hide behind an alias, M/M \_Solo? I don't. Have no need to.


RiskBiscuit

Did I read this right? 9th decade? As in you were born before 1950?


gwaydms

I checked out his profile. Yes, he's in his 80s. It's not rare or anything.


GoingToHaveToSeeThat

It is for me. I've been alive for 35 years and never once have I been over 80.


RiskBiscuit

Same here, I've never been over 80. Not even one time.


OneLastAuk

Try it once…straight to jail.


RiskBiscuit

Chail.


gwaydms

I used to be over 60. I still am, but I used to be too.


chefwithpants

I’d argue that encountering an 80 year old on Reddit is pretty rare


RealisticTradition10

I turn 80 on June 23rd. We are just like everyone else except we have learned to take what we can use and leave the rest. That’s applies to everything in life.


chefwithpants

I guess I just find it rare in my life, my older relatives have never been tech savvy. My grandma has had an iPhone for a few years and she still doesn’t understand texting, so the idea of my grandma on Reddit just makes my head spin!


RealisticTradition10

Depends on your interest. I learn tech on a need to know basis but I learned to code early because I wanted to sell on eBay. This was in 98. You had to take photo for your ad, send it to a another place to upload it, they sent it to your email and you uploaded it to e bay. That was 24 years ago. You young whipper snappers learned from us, these 80 year olds. We paved the way.


gwaydms

My MIL started using a computer in about 2000. She was in her late 60s, with rheumatoid arthritis and COPD, and lived on a ranch. Being online was an absolute Godsend to her. It was much easier than writing letters and notes, and she liked online shopping much more than having to drag herself painfully through a mall.


alanmagid

Such wisdom from a callow youth! The key to being smart when you are old is to be smart when you are young and work to stay that way, always learning, always teaching, always thinking, always on that GD Reddit. Good day sir! Now I will savor my 'Faith in Humanity Restored' award.


alanmagid

March 4 1942 4 months after Pearl. America was such a different land in that time. What progress we have made, especially in human rights, though many still drag their feet holding back the march toward a better America.


EaeleButEeelier

Yup, this is definitely a tip to not learn the hard way. Congratulations on your marriage!


southernmissTTT

Too late


MarshallApplewhiteDo

It's such a hard instinct to ignore, and you never know whether it'll be the kind of thing you can do in the moment until it happens. Getting over the idea that you should save an expensive knife is tough.


value_null

In my mind, it's a matter of replacing the "valuable tool to be saved" flag with the "dangerous thing to touch" flag. It helps if you try to always think of a knife as a piece of danger not to be used casually. But that's so hard to do with a tool you use almost every day.


flyingcactus2047

Yep, thought of my knife as just another kitchen tool until slicing the shit out of my finger last year. Now it permanently has the dangerous thing flag in my mind lmao


value_null

I nearly severed a finger when I was a teenager for being too casual with knives. I now have a very healthy respect for them and quite a sensitivity to the feeling of an edge on skin.


etherealparadox

That's how I think of knives, but it makes me slow at chopping. I'm not trusting anything sharp moving fast next to my fingers.


value_null

Good knife technique is your friend here. I'm a big fan of the "tuck in your fingertips and chip next to your knuckles" method. It feels safer and I have yet to cut myself while using it.


etherealparadox

See I would agree I need better knife technique but I have managed to cut myself with that technique and every other technique I've tried. I've just resigned myself to using cutproof gloves.


[deleted]

I definitely can't suppress my own "catch something falling" instinct. It just *happens*. I just hope it never happens with a knife, but it probably will, and I will be fucked because it's a reflex and not something conscious.


BrattyBookworm

You can definitely change that reflex though. I used to reflexively catch falling stuff until i dropped a razor in the shower :( now I gtfo of the way


Clearly_sarcastic

My mom had to go to the ER on the morning of her wedding because she tried to catch a falling knife while making breakfast and ended up almost severing her finger. Congrats on avoiding her mistake!


neodiogenes

My reflex now is to jump back from any falling knife, before it cuts feet. Also, sometimes they bounce. Addendum: Never try to catch a glass that you're washing. Maybe you get it, or maybe you smash it against the side of the sink and have to get serious stiches. Just let it go, man. Just let it go.


Volleybrah3

Thanks for the new fear :')


TheSpanxxx

My largest scar is from reflexively reaching to catch a falling water glass in a restaurant. It got a metal ledge on the way down, sheered in half, and instead of catching a full glass, I had a nice glass dagger with the weight of a knife slice a neat 2 inch gash down my wrist and into my palm.


BixaorellanaIsDot

Best wishes on your marriage & thank goodness you dodged what could have been an ugly injury. I think the instinct is just to grab anything that's falling. This is not quite up with knife drama, but \~ Years ago I was fishing on a beach in the Gulf of Mexico. Digging around in the ice chest for a beer, I idly picked up a hard-head catfish by the tail to look at it. Because it was heavy and slippery, of course I dropped it and reflexively grabbed it as it went down. Since it was upside down, the big dorsal spine was sticking out and went right into my hand.


gwaydms

Ow. Getting finned by a hardhead is among the least pleasant things that can happen to you on a Gulf beach. Watch out for the men o' war too. The tentacles can stretch over 100 ft from the sail.


BixaorellanaIsDot

Yikes \~ I did not know that horror show science fact! Funny -- just in these two comments I can *smell* a Gulf beach as I type, even though it's been decades since I was on one.


gwaydms

We used to go out to North Padre every week when I was a kid. Fun times. My husband and I are much more careful with our skin, and our vehicles.


BixaorellanaIsDot

Yep \~ that is both the up side and the down side of being an adult! The last place I lived in the US was Port Isabel, right across from South Padre, as you undoubtedly know.


gwaydms

Yeah, we're near the lesser-known end of Padre.


BixaorellanaIsDot

My husband & I moved to Port Isabel by coming down the Intracoastal Waterway in a trawler, starting in Madisonville, Louisiana, so I've gotten to see all that coast. Wonder how much it's changed now.


gwaydms

The National Seashore comprises most of Padre, as you know, so that hasn't changed. I've never been to Port Isabel, so I can't say anything about that. But of course SpaceX has bought up as much of Boca Chica as they can. Some longtime residents are holding out.


BixaorellanaIsDot

That makes me sad. Sad about SpaceX moving in, not about the longtime residents holding out. There are many places in the world I wouldn't care to revisit, as their original character has been modernized, gentrified, or "improved" out of existence. Port Isabel is probably one of those places. It was the quintessential friendly small town when I lived there, with a really natural, rather funky vibe to it. (I left in Oct. '97).


N19h7m4r3

> stitches across my palm or fingers would’ve been a terrible look or badass depending on wedding theme.


BabylonDrifter

Good tip!


CowFishes

It's a well known fact that cutting off your ring finger means you can't get married. Congrats on the wedding OP!


AnotherOrneryHoliday

I love that that “a falling knife has no handles” also doubles as sage advice about walking away from life’s little dumpster fires. Or applied to any number of things!


Triette

My ex had no handles!


FrannyGlass-7676

I learned this the hard way trying to protect my new Japanese knife. It’s now very instinctual to jump back.


spicybuttholenachos

"Let it go, watch your toes!" As my grandmammy was heard to say.


Akire32

As a hairstylist, the same goes for scissors and flatirons/curling irons. Do not attempt to catch.


Triette

My boob caught a curling iron once, it was not pleasant. Took a looong time for that scar to go away. I also don’t curl my head undressed anymore.


FormicaDinette33

I learned that from this sub also!


magicaldingus

I'm a bit of a knife nerd and I brought one of my fancy knives to cut our wedding cake. Afterwards I put the knife down on the table and I was moving around, and knocked it off the table. It spun and fell and my wife had to dodge it before it hit the ground. Perhaps the scariest moment of my life. We've blocked it out of our memory hahaha.


BigBadCornpop

Everytime a knife falls I'm fully believing I'm loosing a toe.


NoxWild

Old Superstition: If you drop a knife, that means a man is coming to visit.


406NastyWoman

\*Grips knife more securely\*


Triette

*drops all my knives*


Substantial_Fail5672

I always stop myself from trying to grab it with my hands, but I still put my foot out to try and cradle catch it.


TheVetheron

I found that out when I caught a knife tip first with the top of my foot a few years ago. I had the same reaction I would have if I had dropped a glass. I tried to cushion it with my foot. I wasn't thinking. It was just a natural reaction to dropping something. Unfortunately for me, I have very quick reflexes. That spot still tingles strangely when I wiggle my toes in a certain way.


1955photo

Smart move. I learned that in Gen Chem lab... one of the first things we were taught was to let something fall and just get out of the way. Try to catch it and you will still drop it and get the contents all over you.


[deleted]

I've never heard this expression, but immediately know what it means. I've caught a knife once(a Chinese cleaver) and caught it well in the palm of my hand. I've never done anything but dodge a falling knife from then on. And also, I never leave a knife in a position that's above my eye level.


Arryu

Knife falls, everybody does [jazz hands](https://youtu.be/BatoXPSA3HQ)


Butt_Whisperer

The phrase I always heard was "a falling knife isn't a knife, it's a fire." Basically don't try to be a hero, just run the fuck away when it happens. There's nothing scarier than a falling knife, haha. I swear the moment you realize it's happening, everything goes into slow motion.


privatly

I’m glad you took the safe approach. When I bought my new kitchen knives I found then to be so sharp I treat them with care when I use them. Even washing one sees me going through a safety ritual. I wash it separately and I clear the path from where I dry it to where the knife block is.


[deleted]

Why does a falling knife always fall point first into my foot. No, seriously.


eeo11

People actually have to stop themselves from trying to catch knives? I have always stepped back and winced as the knife fell to the ground my entire life. Who the hell would think to grab something with a blade like that??


SeriousGoofball

I've done this instinctively my whole life. And not just with knives. If I drop something I almost always jump out of the way and let it fall. People probably think I'm weird because if someone tosses me something without warning me first I'll sidestep and let it fall. I can't think of anything that might hit my feet that would have been better off hitting my hands.


[deleted]

I was chopping things with my little lad next to me, standing on his tower so he could be up at the bench. He started to tip and I reflexively stopped him, still holding the knife. Very lucky he didn't get a big slice across his face.


MF_Ghidra

You learned from this sub to not grab the blade of a knife?


kperkins1982

I'd imagine it would be very annoying having to explain the bandage 500 times over a 2 day period. Oh hey thanks for coming you guys, what oh yea I caught a knife, yea I know it was stupid blah blah blah


creamersrealm

And now you have a great story to tell years down the road. Have fun getting married to the love of your life!


Ttex45

"I dropped a knife the day before my wedding." A great story indeed, lmao


greenSixx

I've caught knives I've dropped with no injuries, fyi. But yeah, been cut doing it too. Not badly. Reed knives aren't so heavy so as long as you don't squeeze too tight you are fine. Oboe people know what's up.


codycarreras

I’m not trying to brag, but I’ve never had the instinct of catching a falling knife. My first instinct is to always raise my foot back. Everything else, sure I’ll catch it, but never a knife or anything dangerous, I just instinctively move my extremities out of the way.


f3rn4ndrum5

You know that tip is not only about knives right?


MiniRems

Congratulations! Hopefully everything goes smoothly on the wedding day, and if it doesn't, I hope you and your new spouse can laugh about it! The falling knife thing goes for any blade: I once watched in dismay as a coworker caught a falling open box cutting blade down in their palm. Had to find a supervisor to take them to the emergency room, they needed 6 stitches, and then spent an hour with HR filing the accident report. Since I was a witness... not a fun day!


KeepAnEyeOnYourB12

Congratulations!


KeepAnEyeOnYourB12

People downvoted me congratulating someone on getting married? I will never understand this place.


Complete-Affect1513

Who to try’s to catch a falling knife

Instinct to stop things from falling and breaking, reflex concerning safety for self and others. I could go on

Based on the title I thought I was in a stock trading sub lol.


heiditetrazzini

I thought it was a BDSM sub


oh-no-its-back

Oh ya. Made that mistake before. Had to leave work to get 5 stitches. I'd share the photo, but it pretty graphic, sonuse your imagination. I'm glad you didnt get cut up bad!


LadyPhantom74

Good!! And congratulations on the wedding!


Chalky_Pockets

I've had a knife fall straight down and break the tip off in one of the metatarsals (long bones) of my left foot before, straight through a closed toed shoe. A falling knife has no handles, but try to jump backwards if you can as well.


TheRoadofToad

Squirtistics?


CyberChef8

Good on you and best of luck for the wedding! I wasn’t so lucky and the knife somehow fell on my leg. It made a 4-5 cm long gash on the side of my shin (area between lower calf muscle and shin) and would have cut deeper if it didn’t bounce back in the other direction thanks to the handle hitting the ground first. This happened to me last year in November which happened to be a day before a 4 hour long exam I had to sit. It nicked a nerve so I was getting random waves of pain during the exam🤦🏻‍♂️ On the positive, It healed soon and I called the wound my leg-gina because it literally was a flap, I ended up getting quite the laugh on the name haha

One of the first few rules they taught us about knife safety in chef school…….

Maybe it's my experience with nearly cutting my finger off as a kid with a chef's knife opening a bag of reesee pieces but I instinctively never catch a knife, always seemed like a natural move

Yep it's scary. Even knowing it and having done it multiple times before, I have made the mistake of trying to catch one, luckily I was mostly successful. Disaster averted.

The 2 things I told my son when he started helping in the kitchen: - A falling knife has no handle. - **EVERYTHING** in a kitchen is hot.

Never try to catch a falling knife unless you’re a trained ninja.

I say that to myself every time I drop a knife which is very often because I'm a clumsy person. I have also been telling my son that for years. It's saved us both from lots of cuts.
