According to scientists, up to 70K nerve endings are concentrated in the human foot - and about all of them are activated when we step on a Lego brick. This is really damn painful, and humanity should only be grateful to the Danish businessmen that they established their toy brand about the time the Inquisition stopped using torture.

Moreover, we are almost sure that if the International Chamber of Weights and Measures wanted to establish a special unit for painful sensations, then it could well be "one Lego". And yet, according to some people, there are feelings and things that are way more unpleasant.

There is a popular thread in the AskReddit community whose author - apparently "inspired" by a bad stepping - once asked "What's worse than stepping on a Lego?" As of today, the thread has nearly 4K upvotes and over 7.2K comments listing both funny and really tragic stuff.

Bored Panda has put together a list of the most popular opinions from this thread for you. Laughter and tears, comedy and tragedy - feel free to scroll to the very end, and even better - tell us in the comments what else, in your opinion, feels more unpleasant than stepping on a Lego?

I stepped on my dog's paw once... when he walked right under me in the middle of crossing a busy road with a car coming at us, and came this close to tripping us both up. Once we'd got to safety I said "I'm sorry, but you DID kind of bring that on yourself, you knucklehead."

Ran over my cats tail the other night with my computer chair I felt awful, about 15 mins later good thing I checked before I moved as he was laying exact same spot literally touching the wheel with his body. Religiously check any time I need to move my chair even if it’s just a couple cm!

Oh heavens.... We have 4 dogs, one Mastines Español (a very big very good boy), two labradors and then our latest one, a trash container puppy... really, he was dumped with his siblings in a dumpster and he was the only one who survived. He was so small and had such a bad start, but with bottle feedings and lots of love and patience he now is a little over 3 months old and he is small, not even near 10 kilo.... Every day you'll hear me or my SO reacting on his phenomenal talent of weaving himself in-between our feet while walking and unnoticed, so we trip a lot each day XD. I so hope he'll get to reach a least a little more hight so we can notice him a little sooner, because our bumps and bruises start to show up everywhere ;P

Sometimes he pees in the bathroom and my SO will step in it with his bare feet, sometimes I step in it when going for a nightly bathroom visit (mine is around the corner) but I always wear flipflops .... We have a bucket at the ready at all times and a few clean mops per day. The supermarket doesn't know why we buy so many bottles with Mr. Clean XD

    My cat was kind of stressed after we'd moved, and we let her sleep in our bed - at least 3 times I woke up because she'd started to pee on my duvet and me, instead of walking about 3m into the living room where her toilet was. During the day, it wasn't a problem at all, and it went away after about two weeks, but dang it, that's not a good way of waking up... We keep enzyme cleaner ready for things you can't throw in the machine, can only recommend that!

    The rest of the world treats lego as a regular plural. You can't have "a" lego just like you can't have "a" water. You have some lego, or a lot of lego. When you say you played with legos as a child, it sounds to non-Americans, as in the rest of the world, like you're saying I drank a glass of waters or my sandpit has a lot of sands. And it's a brand name, so Lego. Right, I'm glad that's now off my chest.

    My daughter at camp stepped on one, screamed and jumped off if it, landing full on another. The counselor had to run carrying her to the infirmary, holding bloody bandages on both feet. I was the nurse, so naturally my reaction was "oh, thank god - I thought I was going to have to call a parent on the very first day of camp."

    If you want to prevent a sneeze, press the space between your upper lip and your nose. That little cleft is called your philtrum. Never squeeze your nostrils; if you sneeze while doing that you could burst your eardrums.

    This may sound odd but you can use a Waterpik with warm water and 25% hydrogen peroxide to clear wax from your ears. It's much safer than a q-tip.

    one of my childhood friends put one of those tiny button batteries in his nose when he was very young, & it got lodged so far he had to have surgery to have it properly removed & to make sure it hadn't leaked any chemicals farther up (they didn't know how long it had been there because he has autism & was unable to communicate where he was hurt if he was in pain, so it could've been there a while without his parents knowing). he still has scar tissue around the nostril but thankfully no breathing difficulties!

    My grandma quilts and when I was little (I was the first grandchild so her house wasn’t proofed since my mom and her siblings were all grown up) she left a quilt in progress on the floor and I stepped on a pin. Hurt like heck. Then a few years later I walked past the bulliten board in my room and stepped on a upturned thumb tac

    I was a kid in the 70s and my bedroom had a deep shaggy carpet. My sister had gone into my room to get some tin tacks and in doing so had dropped the box and scattered them all over the place. She didn't bother to tell me. Unsuspecting me walks into my room in bare feet. Utter agony, each step worse than the first. I ended up throwing myself onto my bed and spent ages pulling the things out of my feet. The memory is still strong 40+ years later.

    As a kid, I jumped off a table onto a needle stuck in the carpet. It broke and got stuck and I needed to be rushed into hospital and get my foot cut (it was between my toes) and the needle taken out. Daily visits to the hospital for a week after that (changing bandages and taking care of the wound). The doctors were amused.

    I got 3 pin cushions from my mother after she passed and wanted to give one to each of my children so I proceed to take all of the pins out - only to find out that some could be drowning in there too. Goal achieved with a few bleeding fingers.

My brothers would've preferred, being monsters, that she would use sarin wrap. (Still have the two brothers, still friends. We got through it.)
