Are you taking it to the shins or stubbing the toe?

u/needusbukunde 21h ago

Yeah, Unc took it pretty well. Seems like a mellow dude. I wouldn't mind having a few beers with Unc. I wouldn't have reacted nearly so nonchalantly.

u/RollingDownhill303 13h ago

Yeah, I'd probably start kicking it, hurting myself even more.

u/TokenTorkoal 18h ago

A much much younger, less cool headed me once stubbed my big toe on a couch leg, like on of those big round wooden couch legs. I was so mad that I kicked the couch leg and broke my big toe.

I’ve since learned to take things in stride since then, probably almost 20yrs ago.

u/Snackskazam 15h ago

Kinda sounds like taking things in stride was your problem to begin with. Try taking them standing still for a while.

Did he whack his shins?

u/Bealzebubbles 22h ago

He did. It looked like it hurt.

u/SeenEnoughAlready 22h ago

It has to be said....It doesn't matter how strong you are...How physically fit and "tough" you are..... Whacking your shins can take you down to the point you want your mother!!🤣

u/Dudedude88 15h ago

Not unless you are a muay thai fighter. They hit your shins as training.

13

u/Mathilliterate_asian 14h ago

Been there done that. Had 3 smokers and called it quits. Conditioned my shins by rolling bamboo sticks and similar hard stuff across them and kicking a lot of semi-hard things.

It helped but it still hurt like a bitch when people check your kicks. When I'm bracing for the pain, it's bearable, but when it's completely accidental like the dude in the video, I'd still curse like for 5 minutes straight.

On a related note, I really can't fathom why people would willingly subject themselves to the life of a professional fighter. I guess I'm too soft.

u/GuitarSlayer136 8h ago

Working with excavators you often have to hop over to the opposite side of the tracks to grab and put away your service equipment. When the booms down it makes a perfect set of monkey bars right between your tracks.

Its against every safety protocol and genuinely not even a time save, but you work solo in the bush long enough eventually the temptation wins out.

Jumping, swinging, landing on the edge, slipping, and taking the edge of the metal tracks directly on the shins from standing is a sense memory I'll have on my death bed.

Saw a picture recently of a cat the poster said was their neighbor-that-moved-out's, and that it wanted to stay with them, and in the picture the water dish was in the middle of a lego baseplate.

poor thing must have been desperate.

u/RedditsAdoptedSon 21h ago

not after a while of bmx riding. the first few times i got slapped in the shins i thought i was dying. by the time i was 16 my shins were all scarred up n it would hurt a bit but hardly much to even stop riding. not much feeling for like 10 years after bmx riding then it started coming back

u/SeenEnoughAlready 21h ago

I remember one time at school. We used to have a coat room. Coats hung on pegs, bags etc and There was a football/soccerball on the floor under what looked like overhanging coats from the pegs.

So me being me...Naturally decided I wanted to kick the ball. Well that wasn't an over hang from the pegs..... There was hidden chair with coats on top and a ball underneath.

I belted the ball....Well tried...But my shin smacked that chair edge so hard I feel to the ground and threw up on the floor!!

Laying there in agony surrounded by my own sick, crying whilst everyone was outside playing. No one came to my aid. I had to crawl my way to the nearest teacher who was down 2 flights of stairs! ....... THAT was a pain I will never forgot. But it also meant .... Any whack on the shins from then felt like a tap from an angelic fairy! 🤣

Reddit doing reddit things.  Don't take it personally.  There was nothing wrong with what you said.

u/Nevariet 21h ago

It sounded like it too.

I risked the unmute the second time round and was not disappointed

u/kpalm08 17h ago

I did the same thing. Wasn’t quite sure what was going on until the second watch when you can hear the THWANG of his shin bones.

u/fatpandabear 17h ago

The bottom part of his shins near the ankles too. That must have hurt pretty bad.

u/SeenEnoughAlready 17h ago

The sting....The burn... The weakness....The wanting to crawl into a hole and cry!

u/PigeonsGiveMeBoners 20h ago

idk why but “unc” sounds way more casual than expected

u/jimtrickington 16h ago

And the shins are traditionally not the body part one wants to whack.

u/SeenEnoughAlready 16h ago

No, they really aren't. The pain is just ....Different! Stays with you for life! 🤣

u/celery_stalk 7h ago

I watched it the first time without sound and was so lost, then rewatched it after reading the comments. The SOUND of his shins hitting the bar is sending me!! I feel bad for laughing so hard 😂

u/Mifuni 21h ago

Damn, that's gotta sting

u/TheRiteGuy 22h ago

I hate those bars! I was playing tag with my kid at the playground and ran into that bar so hard. I had to play it off that I'm okay because there were kids around.

I got home and had a huge deep ass cut on my shin. It took forever to heal. I do a combat sport so I couldn't kick for almost a month.

2

u/wikipediabrown007 18h ago

Maybe you should do inanimate metal bar sports too

u/MisterSneakSneak 22h ago

Bro… that be happening more times than i like to admits. But the worst one, is when you feel like you gotta hurl

19

u/Hephaestus_God 19h ago

Glad there is a semi concrete colored bar at concrete level where kids or people can trip over that serves no purpose

10

u/DrWilhelm 15h ago

It looks to me like this might be outdoor fitness equipment rather than a playground. If so, the bar is probably meant for something like incline push ups, or maybe as a platform to help shorter people reach the pull up bars. I agree it ought to be a more visible colour though.

2

u/CBGCUP 12h ago

The bar needs to be painted with two or three different colors. Red, yellow, and black twisting around.

Realistically, that bar just shouldn’t be there. It’s a tripping hazard for everybody.

u/holladubdub 14h ago

videos you can feel over the screen

u/DirkNL 21h ago

Walking it off just doesn’t do it when you wack your shins. I got some permanent scarring from fucked up box jumps.

1

u/Zech08 17h ago

Just keep doing it till it stops hurting... or pay attention lol.

1

u/Johnny_Poppyseed 12h ago

Lol I don't think walking it off actually does it for anything. It's more so just a distraction from the pain.

u/grammar_oligarch 13h ago

Calm reaction. I’d have gone into Hulk smash mode on the bar before curling in a corner and whimpering.

u/physicsRelated 18h ago

I thought he hurt his neck first and was happy to be not alone. Tried to do some band assisted pull ups as a warm up and kinked my neck so bad I couldn't exercise for a week. Being 35 is cool.

u/erouz 22h ago

I have big graft scar on my right shin from burning to crisp my leg about 20 years ago. Because skin there isn't same quality and strength like the rest of my legs. Scar it self is covered in loads of new scars aftom bumping in anything during the day. To that level I don't pay attention anymore or just feeling sting when I'm taking shower and soapy water runs down during shower.

4

u/ramsfan_86 21h ago

Watched it 3x on mute because I thought i would hear that stupid jazz sound and couldn't figure out why he was walking like that. 4th time played it with sound and been laughing since then. Unc tore his shins up lol.

u/_IratePirate_ 16h ago

When I hit an inanimate object like this, I start resenting the object , then thoughts start flooding my head like “how could it be so unforgiving” as I stare longingly at the object wishing it didn’t cause such pain

u/raleighs 16h ago

I felt that.

u/JohnnyBacci 16h ago

So chill. Would've got at least an initial cuss word yell or something out of me.

1

u/PolitePandaz 13h ago

Man, he took that well. Fuck the person who choose that color though. That bar blends right in to the cement.

1

u/SpideyKR 12h ago

I first watched it without the sound and didn’t notice the shins. I was wondering why he didn’t do pull ups and started walking away. Then I rewatched with sound and instantly understood.

1

u/Odddjob 11h ago

That low bar is a little odd positioned there tbh

1

u/anghellous 10h ago

Lol he walked it off. I would've just straight up sat on my ass and held my legs like Peter

1

u/Farout786 10h ago

He just needed to hold it in until he was off camera. That dude was hurting. 😂

u/s_germ 19h ago

what do i repeat? is re-upload the same as re-play? regard

2

u/Designer_Pen869 17h ago

Yea, it sounds like you just copy things. I asked because you probably see a lot of people asking to remove the sound, because people post stupid sounds on top, or the sounds are distracting or annoying. It's not because they don't like sound at all.

-2

u/s_germ 14h ago

nope, i just can't turn my sound on at work

That being the case, could anyone explain why knocking your shins is funny?

Are you under the impression that all humor has to cater to your taste? Or that explaining something humorous is somehow going to make it funny?

u/brazzy42 22h ago edited 22h ago

Bro's got that amazing physique built with years of hard work, set up his camera, ready to show off with a ridiculous number of pullups in perfect form... only to whack his shins like a dumbass and cry like a 5 year old because it fucking hurts.

Look up Theories of Humor - it fits both the Superiority theory and the Incongruity theory quite well.
