One time at work I had to make a stuffed lobster. To stuff a lobster, you have to lay it on its back, while it's still alive, hold its tail down and jam a knife in its chest so you can rip the guts out and replace them with stuffing. I had done this many times without a problem.
This time however, the lobster tried to push his tail up against my hand with such force that his upper body lunged up at me. Out of surprise, I let my hand go, causing the lobster to sail into the air, landing squarely in my groin. The lobster hit the floor and I was doubled over in pain and laughter, since a few other cooks saw this happen.
I got my revenge though.
