familiarity breeds contempt
Several years ago i was a film planner in a printworks, before macs took off in a big way. This involved sticking various films onto a sheet of acetate and slicing the overlaps with a scalpel. This all had to be done with absolute precision, so i would regularly change the scalpel blade, several times a day. I reckon i held a scalpel more hours a day than a surgeon.

Did i slip while swapping a blade......nope.

Did i ever put my thumb end slightly past the metal ruler and slice the top few mm clean off.....er, yes, a few times.

Did i ever get an itchy nose and forgetfully just rub it the once......while holding the scalpel..... Holy shit!!! You have no idea just how much blood pours out if you slice your right nostril in two.
