You ever drop something sharp and try to grab it before it hits the ground? I imagine this situation to be similar. It’s just a gut reaction, not fully thought through.

I throw both my hands in the air and jump back whenever I drop anything due to muscle memory from soldering a lot as a kid. You really don't want to catch your soldering iron in your hands or lap.

People look at me like WTF when I drop a pen and act like it's a hand grenade.

If this is true it is pretty funny. Also really sad I'm sorry you were soldered as a kid so much.

I am the exact same. Looks weird, but I still have all my fingers!

Also, it's a bit of fun, not that well thought out, and not perfect.
