Was reminded of this story when I was reading comments of an r/askreddit post.
This happened around two years ago and can be abbreviated as short as the title.
I was cooking a new recipe which meant I was scrolling on my phone back and forth between the ingredients and the preparation part of the website. Obviously I could have just cut all required ingredients and then start cooking, but who has time for that? I decided it would be best to follow the recipe as precise as possible, which meant a lot of "while cooking this, cut this and this and at it to the pot". Rushing the cooking was ensured.
Anyway, while trying to find the amount of celery sticks I needed to cut I heard a noice from behind me. As I turned around I accidentally knocked the knife off the counter sending it towards the floor. In a reflex I decided that saving the precious sharp edge was totally worth the risk, so I did the only logical thing: drop my phone and grab the knife. As you can imagine: I wasn't fast enough to save the knife, but I was fast enough to touch the knife, which meant the knife was able to cut me pretty good.
Now since the nearest hospital was 10 km away, I had no car, and none of my roommates where home, I needed to call a friend of mine and ask whether he could bring me with his car. But you guessed it: by dropping my phone I had broken the screen which meant it went unresponsive.
So there I was: without a phone and bleeding. Luckily I'm Dutch so I did the only logical thing: grab a clean t-shirt to wrap around my hand and hop on my bike to cycle to the hospital to enjoy the cheap healthcare.
Lesson learned: Don't try to catch falling knives
TL;DR; Dropped my phone while trying to catch a falling knife. Cut myself and had no way to call for help.
