Just stepped on a plug in my bare feet. It doesn't half take the heart from you.

Clearing up Dd's bedroom while she is out with friends. Working my way round the bed and stepped on a phone charger plug with the pins facing up while in my bare feet. Really hurt and brought tears to my eyes. I had to sit down for a minute until the pain subsided. Note to self; wear something on my feet next time.

It makes me feel funny just reading that! It’s horrible, I’ve done it myself. I also remember once kneeling on a drawing pin and it went right in, I still remember the crunching sound.

Every Christmas we watch Home Alone and I have to physically turn away at the bit where Marv the robber steps, full force in his bare feet, onto the spiky Christmas baubles - it makes me feel faint!

For some variety, try well-chewed dog Nylabones!

Lego and plugs are the worst!

Yes same with me or when Marv climbs the basement staircase and steps on a nail. Ouch.

Ooh that sounds horrible - I've done it myself.
Sticklebricks and Lego are not recommended, either.

And that gritty sort of cat litter isn't brilliant, either.

I have done this more times than I would like to admit to....including one particular occasion where I stood on the plug and lost my balance which meant the foot went further onto the plug as I tried to stay upright and then ultimately I then ended up falling over sideways onto the floor as well😅. It drew blood from my foot that time and I was limping for several days after. Wretched things!

Yeah when my dd was younger I had this awful knack of finding plugs and pieces of Lego later at night once she was asleep and had to stop myself from calling out in pain when I found it.

I was just about to say that plugs and Lego are the worst!

Although one night I came down to the kitchen and trod on slug that had come in, it popped between my toes.

I might just live in wellies!

Ouch. That sounds nasty. I am sure the air was blue and a few 50p coins went in the swear box, haha.

At least it was soft and squishy and not hurtful but unpleasant nonetheless🙄.
