This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

I once cut my finger on a chainsaw
Dad said I'd be ok if I was wearing gloves. I took them off for a moment, thinking I'd finished chopping up the tree. Then I saw one of the logs needed a twig trimming. So I trimmed it. And my hand slipped as the chain was slowing down. This is not the way one is meant to use a chainsaw.

No worse than catching it on a sharp edge of anything else really. But had the chain been moving even slightly faster, I'd have lost the finger, and it would have taken me longer to type this. And I wouldn't be third.
