I wrench on cars and there have been moments when I was trying to break a bolt loose and thought to myself "If this thing comes loose right now, I'll probably smash my knuckles against [object]... Nah, I have it under control."

I have, without fail, always hurt myself right after having this thought. I just don't seem to learn.

One time the surface I smashed my knuckles into was ... my face! Double ouch.

Every single time.

I’ve done this! Except it was the handle of a pry bar hitting my face.
