We've all gotten computer bites. Some are bad, some are just minor scrapes. When you get a really bad one when you're working on your computer, or somebody else's computer, what do you do?
 
I had this happen, almost needed stitches (cheap steel case with unsmoothed internal edges :rolleyes: ).

I finished what I was doing, cleaned any blood around, and went to the ER :p
 
Never had a real bad computer bite, but when it does bite me, I just let it stop bleeding, then finish what I am doing...
 
Using carpenters knife to cut zip ties i was wrapping wires with... Right through thumb, wrap in toilet paper and keep working.

one time in my tech support class i cut myself as i was taking out a stubborn drive cage... i wiped the blood on my jeans and kept workin.

PRO :cool:
 
drip lolo

speaking of getting cut lol i had my case off today

and a 5 year old who lives across the street stuck his finger in one of my case fans lol ouch

good thing it wasnt a metal one :p
 
I'm a big boy.. I can take the pain and keep on working. I cut myself at work pretty bad one time and only went to the first aid room cause my boss made me. Not because I'm trying to look tuff, but partially cause I'm stubborn & from being a farmer all my life u lern to deal with cuts & scrapes and keep on going.
 
i've never even had a scratch from working on my computer...

you guys are just clumsy.
 
sliced myself right open somewhere inside the case; I didn't realize I was cut until ten minutes later, when I stepped in a small puddle of my own blood; wrapped it in toilet paper and kept working

dedication :D
 
man maxvla lol its so funny i remember when i first came here you had some picture of an azn girl i think it was ohura or whatever
and i was like damn shes hot lol

but then i saw another azn girl on your avatar and was like... guess not, he's a man eheh
 
every computer i have built/ worked on has my blood in it, seriously, my first system... i picked up the case with the bit thwere the power supply fits and slice....

and recently i sliced my hand on my grandads case and bled all over his drives.

wtf is wrong with you people? lol i'd hate to see what happens when you work on cars or something. get a hand caught in a belt of something :eek:

:eek:
 
For most minor cuts, like on a sharp edge in the case, I just keep working. When I got bit by a black label, I jumped up and down cursing for 15 minutes before continuing on. My case still has a few splatters from that incident.
 
you guys MUST be clumsy... i have never injured myself when working on a computer (except this one time where my c++ program wouldn't compile... :bang head )
