Random Bad #4 - Stubbing Your Toe


The stubbed toe is probably one of the most annoying, yet most common, random occurrences. You usually stub your toe on door frames, bedposts, table legs, chairs, or other things that jut out. It's hard to imagine that things that are so harmless can cause so much pain.

The worst part about the whole situation is that it's not the item that causes the stub, but your own carelessness. You could easily just tread carefully, and watch where you're going, but in this day and age, speed and efficiency are key. We need to get from place to place as quickly as possible, even if it's just over to the next room.

So, what's the lesson here? Stubbed toes should teach us to slow down. The problem is that we're too involved in our own lives to realize that we should stop and smell the roses once in a while.
