Why stepping on Legos hurts like hell

Only if you’re the sort of person that doesn’t understand that the pieces are called ‘bricks’.

Check the bottom right.

I wouldn’t say I’m disgusted by it, but the capital of Nigeria isn’t really on my list of places to visit.

They’re not. Plenty of people who play with them don’t care if the company and its worshippers get bent outta shape if they’re called Legos. When my Dad stepped on my Tinkertoy, or my Erector, or perhaps my Lincoln Log, he’d just curse my name and admonish me to pick all this undifferentiated shit up off the floor.

“What about the Lego?”

“Not just that one! Pick all of 'em up or I’ll knock you into the middle of next week!”

“But Dad, ‘Lego’ refers to both the singular and plural OWWW!!!

“Smartass. No Knox Block for you for dessert.”

“They’re Knox Blox OWWW!!!

Am I really odd that things like that don’t really bother me? I’m fine with walking barefoot on gravel. It’s sticky things that I can’t stand walking on. And strangely enough, some unidentified cold sticky substance stuck to your foot manages to be equally as awful as some unidentified warm sticky substance.
