I'll start I've just stood on a slug whilst barefoot!

That'll teach me for no wearing shoes outside in the dark

Cat food

A spider the size of the palm of your hand. It was hidden in the pattern of my bedroom rug and popped like the case of a bic biro 🤮

Plug. Absolute agony. Went straight through the sole of my foot.

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 16/06/2023 06:39

It's a toss up between anything the cats have brought in (or regurgitated 🤮) and lego bricks.

A large cross stitch needle that dropped as I stood up. It went about an inch into the underside of my foot.

A live mouse in a welly!

Slug.

Slug in garden. Stumbled into my mother's handbag & one of her keys punctured my foot a lot, blood everywhere, got tetanus shot for that one.

Love this.
A half eaten pigeon, a slug, dog poo, wasp, drawing pin, bramble, glass, paint.... the list goes on. I like to be bare foot. 🤪

Holdontowhat · 16/06/2023 07:01

Slug, plug, lego and a drinking glass whilst playing in the garden as child. Blood everywhere

A needle. It got stuck in my foot. I had to hop across the room to the nearest seat. Could not get a grip on it to get it out. Ended up having to thread it and pull it out that way.

Willmafrockfit · 16/06/2023 07:03

A live mouse in a welly!

Me too (except mine was in a heeled boot!)
Also a decapitated squirrel - the cat only likes the head for some reason….

Dog vomit

I've done that,we had a slug invasion in the kitchen.
Slug innards bursting between the toes if quite unpleasant 🤢

I've lost count how many earrings have stuck in my foot. Last night a mini twig with a thorn stuck in my foot. It was inside the hamster foraging food I had dropped. I was really shocked they would sell it like that.

A blunt headed screw type thing that holds garage shelves up. Stood my whole weight onto it in my heel, worst pain ever, and I’ve had two kids. That was two years ago and I now have a bone spur and the sorest feet from it. Stupid thing.

grimmers44 · 16/06/2023 07:26

Cold dog diarrhoea on a caravan holiday when I was 15. The dog had ingested too much sea water and left a gift in the kitchenette!

nibblethekibble · 16/06/2023 07:32

One of those horrendously big fuck off spiders. While holding my newborn.

I can still recall it with absolute clarity. I'll never get over it.

OffToJoinTheCircus · 16/06/2023 07:39

A tiny bit of fibre glass that had broken off a 1970's hedgehog style lamp when I was about 10. It didn't really hurt that much when it happened, but it went septic 🤢 so painful and disgusting! And I still had to go to school as I wasn't dying 🤣 all my fault for not wearing anything on my feet!!

I always wear slippers now (lamp is long gone but you never know!!)

JenniferBarkley · 16/06/2023 07:43

Sea urchin. Do not recommend.

gooddayturnedshit · 16/06/2023 08:22

Cat shit, cat sick, dog shit, dog sick, toddler shit, Lego, a plug, a drawing pin, the hind leg of a toad, coral, snails, slugs....
I think I'm just unlucky. Or very stupid.
