High Risk Activity

Over the weekend I thought I would do a kind gesture and unload the dish washer. I would normally not do this but it was getting extremely difficult to put shit in the sink to be cleaned at a later time. So I emptied the top drawer then opened the door fully and pulled out the bottom drawer to it maximum extension. I was distracted but something and had to cross to the other side of the washer. The only available route was over the top so over I went. I stepped high so I would clear the door and all the pointy utensils sticking out of the basket. It would seem this was a mistake. Upon putting my foot to the floor, a spoon came whizzing past my head at such a high velocity I had no idea what it was until it clanged to a stop against the wall in front of me and fell behind the microwave. My pant leg had launched this spoon into a blur that was inches from hitting me in the head. It could have easily been something sharper and more accurate. I was not aware I need a helmet to unload the dishwasher.
