So I though I would share so I could get ripped to shreds by you guys again on how dumb I was. Maybe a lesson learned for others
So the quick and dirty, I was asked by one of my elderly co-workers to help put a battery in his car. Done it hundreds of times. I took off my rings, put on gloves and eye protection. Yep, Forgot the watch. Watch touched the positive post for a millisecond and turned bright orange literally melting into my wrist. Luckily some guys were standing by drinking water and came and poured on my watch to cool it off. The hinges welded themselves together resulting in pair of bolt cutter to remove the watch. So now if have some very nasty third degree burns that will require skin grafts. Lucky for me I got the pleasure of going to the burn unit at Grady Hospital in Atlanta. anyone familiar with Grady knows that can be a life or death visit in its self.
Now Fire away and just for the record I have already been called a stupid DA by my bride
