From dealing with your acne the wrong way to how your shoes can kill you, we look at
10 Dangerous Things We Do Every Day.
10.
Sneezing • Ever had a particularly strong sneeze
that leaves you reeling like some just punched you from the inside of your face?
• Well then you’re lucky it was worse because under the right conditions a simple
achoo could kill you.
But don’t worry it might only just crack your ribs…or cause a disk to slip in your
spine… or burst your ear drums.
• Hell it can even trigger a heart attack.
All because our bodies aren’t 100% perfect when it comes to exploding snot out of your
face at 100 MPH.
Go figure.
8.
Pimple Popping • We all know the great satisfaction of
squeezing out one of those infected little bastards on our faces but unfortunately there
is a price to pay.
• Other than the obvious problems with scarring, popping pimples can lead to illness and even
death.
This is mainly to the fact that you’re ripping your skin open and allowing all manner of
gross shit access to your blood stream.
• You may have even heard of the “Triangle of Death” around the nose.
Some doctors are adamant you should not pop anything around here due to the high amount
of blood vessels.
Especially because many lead right to the brain and infection there can cause death.
8.
Sleeping • If you like to sleep in then I’ve got
some very…VERY bad news for you.
• Research has recently shown that getting more than 9 hours of shut eye a night is actually
about as bad for your health as smoking.
The lazy of us are actually 4 times more likely to die a premature death for those extra few
hours of dream time.
• However on the flip side you’re also at the same risk if you get less than 7 hours
sleep a night.
Which all means that sleeping is one the most life threatening things you can do and that’s
not even going into your chances of falling out of bed and dying.
7.
Taking a Shower • Bathing has become so common in the modern
world that we often forget that showering is essentially scalding rain.
• At least it can be if you don’t know how to use your taps right… or if something
goes wrong.
It may sound absurd but 34 people die every year just in the US from injuries involving
hot tap water.
• And if that doesn’t kill you then slipping on the wet floor and cracking your head open
on the ground probably will.
Bathrooms are fuckin’ deadly but please…don’t stop showering, your BO is just as killer.
6.
Wearing High Heels • What price are you willing to pay for
fashion?
Other than the absurd actual prices?
Because high heels are messing you up.
• These demonic pieces of footwear are well known to cause MAJOR problems in ladies feet…and
men if they chose to wear them.
Causing toes to totally deform and after years of wear can put you in a wheel chair.
• They also make your chances of falling over and severely injuring yourself much higher.
One doctor reported a case of “patient fell and high heel became lodged in her vagina
causing injury”…think about that next time you slip a pair on.
5.
Walking over manholes • Sometimes we do it without even knowing,
sometimes we do it to tempt fate.
But either way Manhole covers are something you really want to avoid.
• Of course when we see this metal disks on the street we assume they can support our
weight and 99% of the time the will.
But then bam you fall in, break your leg and suffocate from the myriad of toxic gases.
• Hell you should stay away from stepping on any type of hole coverings, it’s not
like you have to walk on them.
But you probably still will and when you’re breathing in those toxic fumes…remember
my warning.
4.
Walking down stairs • If you live in a two story house then
congratulations, you have a higher chance of dying in the home than the rest of us.
• While stairs fulfill an important function, going down them can prove deadly.
So deadly in fact that in the UK alone, around 1000 deaths are caused by taking a tumble
to the first floor.
• Insanely the same study but the injuries caused by stair falls at 100,000.
Meaning you’re more likely to break your leg walking down the stairs than having a
car accident.
3.
Doing anything involving an elevator • But before you say “fuck that I’m
installing an elevator” just wait to you hear how that glorious death machine will
straight up murder you.
• God’s gift to lazy people and people with a reasonable fear of stairs, actually
injure around 266 people a year in the UK and kill around 26 people in the US.
Now while this is much smaller number than stairs…stairs won’t cut you in half and
trail your intestines up 26 floors.
• While you could get caught in the doors and squished, the car could plummet you down
to your doom, the most common accident is caused by the doors opening mistakenly.
More people are killed because they don’t take a second to double check the elevator
is actually there…
2.
Using a zipper • Ever seen “There’s something about
Mary?”…
Turns out getting your junk caught in your fly isn’t as far-fetched as you’d think.
• Yes those little jaws of death that half the population puts their sexual organs through
cause around 1,700 injures a year in the US.
Meaning its more than likely that someone watching this video has had their dick mangled
by their pants.
• This probably sums it up best, when Levi’s first put zipper fly on their jeans, angry
customers wrote in about uncomfortable they were pissing through a bear trap.
1.
Eating • That slice of pizza, that big mac…even
that hot dog.
All can kill you dead.
• No not because they are bad for your nutrition but because you can’t chew and swallow your
food properly damn it.
This may be a shock but eating is the number one cause of choking.
And Choking is no 8 on the list of “injury causing death” in the United States.
• Just make sure you chew your food properly and don’t try to talk with it in your mouth.
It’s rude and karma can work pretty quickly.
