I was trying to unscrew a screw from a board & I was trying to take a shortcut by holding it on my chest while unscrewing - the screw gun slipped & punctured my breast twice, ripping my shirt & cutting & bruising my breast, I knew better & I did it anyway - this was yesterday & it still REALLY REALLY hurts!

Ouch!! I hate to see boobs in distress haha..
I was doing rural post and rail fences, my mate on the other side of the post was drilling holes and I was counter-sinking them with another drill... Being a show off that I am... I caught up to him and we were working on the same post either side, he was drilling the bottom holes as I counter-sunk the top ones... I was standing to close to the post and as he pushed through the wood his drill-bit caught my pants tore off one leg and put a nasty hole in my leg!!
It ruined a pair of pants, but the scar healed pretty well!

This doesn't involve a power tool but it was a really dumb thing I did.
I know how to pump gas but for some reason this particular day I must have forgot.
I used to do lawn care at a college. My boss and I went to a gas station to fill up gas cans. We had them all lined up and ready to go. I pulled the nozzle from the pump put it in the can and started pumping gas. My boss was standing there watching me and we were talking. The can was full and I moved on to the next can.
For some reason I didn't let go of the handle. I sprayed gas all over my boss! I couldn't stop I was confused why the gas was still coming out. He yelled at me. "Let go of the handle!" Man I bet he thought I was the biggest idiot he had ever met.
I did finaly let go of the handle. He finished pumping the gas and told me to take the rest of the day off. He never did fire me. I'm suprised he didn't.
I felt like the biggest moran that day. Makes for a funny story.

Paid thirty dollars for a 16 ft treated board 2x12 and I measured it to what I thought was 6 ft, then I mistalinly marked it at 60 inches thinking it was 6 ft, then I cut it and then realized my mistake and took to drinking beer the rest of the day, A Rule I now live by religiously is measure twice and cut once,
Also was driving in a screw and slipped and smashed my finger and cut it deep,

Not a power tool, but when I was away at college, never having ironed, I was letting the iron get hot. Well, I didnt know when it was hot enough so I decided to blow on it, you know the way you do to hot food. Well, I was leaning on the ironing board and it moved. The iron fell on my face and burned my lips. I couldnt eat, talk, drink, smile, laugh, or do just about anything that is usually abundant in the college life for about 2 weeks! I was collecting moron of the week awards like you wouldnt believe.

I don't think I ever did nothing stupid. But my b/f did. First time using a rototiller and he didn't put down the thing in the back for it to drag so it don't pull u. Well needless to say he was taken for a ride every time he wanted to till something. My neighbors were laughing at him. I should of taped him. It was funny.
My brother one time was chopping wood and the axe turned on him he was swinging it back. And it went into his friends head about over an inch. He had to get like 20 stitches. Thank goodness it wasn't to serious.

It wasn't a power tool but I was listening to a CD with the head phones on and it was really loud at the time and it was 2 in the morning and I was living in an apartment, and then I checked and found out they were not plugged in.

LOL Good job Grace!
My ex fell asleep on the job with a drill in his hand, and drilled through his shoe all the way to his foot.
