though not all fact. You forgot another popular nasty: nails. Standing on up-pointing nails is one of those activities that's not great fun either..


Can't remember the last time I wore sandals and/or went barefoot rooting through a dumpster, barn, cellar, basement or other such location of unknown antecedents. And when in that mode, usually a very good flashlight, insect repellent, and often a hard-hat. The nail sticking through the floor above, or the nail sticking out of a joist is no fun at all.

Another demonstration that Common Sense isn't.

Up-pointing nails often go through ordinary shoes & boots well enough. Anyone scavenging anything ought to know that.
