We were in Shoppers Drug Mart and I was buying canned soup. Yes, I sometimes eat canned soup for lunch at the office if I don't have time to cook lunch. It's cheap, it's convenient, and it's also unhealthy. HAHA.
The canned soup were on sale for like 50 cents each, so the hoarder in me won and I started stacking one can after another and holding it on 1 hand. Just in case you're wondering, I didn't bring the shopping basket with me because everytime I use a shopping basket, I always end up buying more than what I bargained for.
Lo and behold, because I was trying to hold the stack of cans on 1 hand while continuing to pile more cans, one of the cans fell off. I tried to catch it, and I missed. There are 2 things that I was most concerned of if I let the can fell: first, there's going to be a loud bang, and every one at the store will surely look my way. second, there's a possibility that the can might burst, if not dented. Based on those two outcomes, I decided to do my last attempt to save the can from falling: bouncing it off my knee.
THAT WAS THE STUPIDEST IDEA EVER. However I did succeed in bouncing it off my knee. The can bounced a tiny bit, and that gave me just enough time to catch it with my free hand (and yes, I also managed to not drop the stack of cans that I was holding in my other hand). But my knee hurt like hell. HURT LIKE HELL.
And of course, it bruised.......
I was telling the bf about it, and his response was "if that ever happen again, you probably should let the can falls. Cans don't have feeling and they have to suffer from bruising.....unless you don't mind getting your knee bruised" (or something like that).
