Years ago I was working in a NICU...sitting in a rocking chair next to me was a nurse. I had this bad habit of flipping my ring in my fingers..and I dropped it...and it rolled perfectly right under the rocking chair and flattened it. HA!! The nurse was mortified...I was cracking up laughing....as to what were the odds of that happening???
A few years ago....I was coming down some tree steps after hanging a deer stand. The steps had some serrated points on them....I was near the bottom..and jumped off, only to hang my ring on one of those babies. Cut the heck out of my finger...and about tore the ring in two.
My ring's been through the "ringer"!! ROFLOL!!
Ouch! Can’t say that I’ve never halfway caught my ring on something while I was in motion, but never anything as dire as what happened to you.
I don’t know. Maybe working with my hands all my life has made me more tuned in to where my fingers are at all times. Can’t say for sure, but given the sort of work I do for a living, you’ve got to be fully alert, or you’re gonna get hurt. Staying focused has become second nature to me, I guess.
