I was at working in a paper mill, mounting a box to the side of a conveyor. The holes in the box were too small for the bolts I was using, so I decided to get a cordless power drill to widen the openings. Took a seat on some steps, set the box in my lap, and set up the drill with  a 1/4 inch bit. I proceeded to start reaming out the first hole. The bit went through the box, straight into my leg. 

Shock set in, and I tried pulling the drill. My whole leg lifted up with it. Oh fuck. One of my coworkers was nearby and saw my predicament. "Put in in reverse and back it out", he said. So I did. A sharp pain shot through my leg like lightning. I ran to the bathroom, applying pressure to my thigh, and locked myself into a stall. 

I calmed myself, realizing that a few weeks later the mill was hosting a steak dinner for 100 days of no workplace accidents. We all love steak. I didn't want to ruin it for the guys, so I sprayed the wound with disinfectant, covered it with paper towels, and wrapped it with electrical tape. I figured I could see about it after work. 

A little while later, I was talking with my supervisor, and he glanced down at my leg. "You hurt yourself?", he said. I looked down, and there was a huge spot of blood on my pants. Damn. There goes the steak dinner. He called it in, and they applied first aid. The nurse saw the makeshift bandage, and looked at me, appalled. I just shrugged, feeling like the dumbest human being on the planet. When I returned to the job site, my coworkers glared at me with hateful eyes burning with the power of a thousand suns. No steak dinner for us.
