Is there anything that sucks worse than stepping on a Lego?

Getting a tiny sliver of glass stuck in the sole of your foot sucks, too. Especially when you don't realize it at first, and it gets infected.

When I was a kid there were a few times that I ripped the nail off of one of my toes. I used to always be barefoot outside in the summer, so you know...

The worst was when I somehow got a splinter caught under a fingernail. I mean, it was a good 1/4 inch under the nail, too. It began to get infected, so I just took a sewing needle, sterilized it, and carefully dug the tiny sliver out of there.

Did that a couple weeks ago with a shard of plate glass. No infection, but the suckage was high...
Tonight?

Slamming the crown of my 6'1" skull into the bottom edge of a 5'10" trailer door opening.

Walking in the dark at 5:30 in the morning and to step on my dogs old chewed up Nylabone.

Better yet, walking across the Ala Moana reef to the surf spot, only to step on vana, then have to turn around without even surfing

I once took a hot Pyrex casserole dish out of the oven... it shattered... I wasn't wearing shoes or socks and stepped on a piece of hot glass... It went into my foot with ease!!!

Ouch!!!

Beat that!!!

Imagine, if you will, a big dumb farmer trying to catch a pheasant in a flight pen that's shorter than him. Said flight pen is built of rough cut 2x4's. The roof netting supports are rough cut hemlock, as well.
The skillset here is bending over, getting the particular bird you need to fly up and hit the roof netting where he stalls and you grab him mid-flight. Sometimes a little burst of speed is necessary.
If your focus on the bird, timing, and speed are all just right, you can tell you didn't catch the bird when you wake up laying in the mud, looking up at the trees.
Yes, it leaves a mark.
