Skin-Ripping Scenario

That when you're done clearing off your car in the frigid depths of winter, you'll reach for the house door handle - metal - and your wet skin will attach itself to said metal door handle. Being frightened by the sensation, you'll jump backward pulling the door with you. The weight of your body and the leverage of your falling torso will yank the door from the hinges. With hand still stuck to the handle, you'll slice yourself open from nose to nether regions and bleed to death on the pristine winter wonderland that is your front yard.

Cord Crippler

That when bringing an old computer monitor to the dump or recycling spot, the cord will protest and wrap itself around your ankles tripping you and tossing you headlong down the granite steps outside your home. In an effort to break your fall you'll let go of the monitor and - similar to the motorcycle daredevil who abandons his cycle only to crash into it seconds later - you'll slice your arms to ribbons when you thrust your arms into the screen. The whole debacle will continue until you and the monitor, entangled in death, roll slowly to the curb where the trash guy will toss you both into the crusher.
