I cut my index finger after a show one night trying to put the Color Coated Serrated Knife in it's cover, but I had the cover upside down! I bled like CRAZY but I was cleaning up and had a bandaid in my wallet, that and a paper towel got me home!
I frequently forget something and have to send my mom home to get it! (She goes and washes my dishes, she sliced the end of her finger once on the old Mandoline!) One time I did a customer care call and got a VM that ended in "Hope you have a Pampered Day." She called me right back and informed me she signed up to do PC with someone else because I was SO disorganized that I had to go home (before the show started) and get something I forgot! Needless to say she didn't stay a consultant very long!

Well bandaids aren't always a good thing...
Yesterday I was wrestling the vacuum and my mother-in-law and lost. Ripped the skin off my finger all the way down the side.
Wrapped my finger in water proof bandaids....which apparently....I'm allergic to.
Needless to say, be careful which bandaids you use! And don't wrestle the vacuum and m-i-l, it's a no win situation:grumpy:

We had a consultant on our team get rushed to the ER after doing a cutlery demo at a meeting, I personally have managed to cut my finger deeply while drying the blades to the MFP after a show. It sliced right through the microfiber towel and into my finger. I haven't forgotten anything yet, but I have broken the egg slicer belonging to my host at a party. Great for bringing up the warranty! I of course replaced it for her.
