Things not to do in the kitchen

While chopping herbs by using the "knife rocking" method, don't forget that you need to pay extra special attention if you've been drinking. Definitely do not allow yourself to get distracted and then go through this little thought train: "wow, my fingers are too close to the blade, this is pretty dangero... OW! FUCK!". Aside from the pain, the damage you do to your middle finger will make any subsequent chopping you have to do somewhat less than enjoyable.

Stupid me.
