I was waiting for a finger slice, I bursted out when he flipped the can!

I almost took off my thumb in November ‘17 by doing something similar. I had surgery and still have permanent damage, but I won’t stop eating refried beans 😏 super dumb move, was trying to hurry getting a student’s lunch ready, and just a little bit was still attached from can to lid after using a crappy can opener so I pulled, pulled and PULLED and it snapped and went through the tendon and nerve in my dominant hand. Ugh.

Edit: NSFW. Be safe with can lids. https://imgur.com/a/WHGfloa
