    When I was 8 my mother slammed my finger in the bed of a pickup truck. It locked and she didn’t have the keys on her.

    I still bring it up 25 years later.

      Yeah but that is a situation that is funny in hindsight.

      Legit though. I got my finger slammed in the car door but luckily it didn’t lock like that. I could see bone. Even theoretical, thinking about the door locking makes me panic a bit.

      I was about the same age when my mom got my finger in the car door. We were getting ice cream and my dad sent be from the window of the shop to go deliver moms to her. The door closed on it, but thankfully didn’t lock. I just had to knock on the door with my other hand (she was inside) to get her to open it.

      Very painful but no permanent injury.

      Ever since, when I’ve been in a similar situation, I either pass through the open window or I actually step into the swing path of the door.
