@Daniel: Chris used the jalapeño juice in the root beer to get back at his friend for slamming his fingers in the door, not vice versa.

Once, when my Dad was little, he got his fingers caught in the car door. He tried to get the driver’s attention (current caretaker; cannot remember who exactly), but was told to shut up. So he did. And got many apologies when they finally stopped.
I have no stories to compare, although I have gotten the car door shut on my fingers before, and also gotten my fingers squished a bit in the hinge side of a door. None of them were traumatic enough to be branded into my memory, though.

Happened to my nephew (no i’m not that old, my sister is old enough to have a kid though) when he was 6. he got out of the door and reched back in for something and the door was closing because he forgot to stop it (oldsmobile eighty eight doors are LONG) finger was barely hanging on. got taken to the hospital, and the funny thing was that he didn’t cry when it was nearly detached (just a lot of “OW OW OWIE OWIE”s), but did when the stitches came.

That reminds me of a time at college, I was telling a friend to hurry up when a bunch of us were heading out for the night, I was leaning on the doorframe to their room, and still had my little finger there when they (accidentally I’m told) slammed the door locked. That was an interesting 10 seconds while they fumbled for their keys - I believe I was somewhat loud in my remarks. That taught me for being bossy!

So I wanna say I was a senior in high school or maybe the summer right after. Yeah that was it. Well me and a few buddies where riding around in his saturn when we decided that we’d have our last night of fun b4 we sent our friend up north for school the next day. So we goof for awhile then me and one buddy wanted shotgun and bolted for the car. I managed to get there first and had my hand wrapped around the top and was pulling the door open when I got slammed from behind. Needless to say my fingers got closed into the door and all but my thumb got broken. I had to wear a hand cast for like 2 weeks. Most painful thing ever. BTW when ever he’s back for the summer I always get the front seat.

Speaking of using the outside knob to lock a door, my husband showed me how our door can be closed when the inside is “locked” therefore sparing you having to fuss with keys outside of it. Now, I thought this was all fabulous, until I went out for my class a week ago, reached to get my car’s key… and discovered I had NONE of my keys.

I spent the next 45 minutes on my doorstep waiting for a friend to come pick me up. Her husband had one of our spare keys but he was unable to receive a call and we can’t go into his lab. On the bright side, we went to the animal shelter and met the kitties. Squee!
