Getting your index finger run through by the sewing machine. This isn't the first time this has happened to me, but it's been years since I did it, and that was on a much more powerful machine. I didn't think this one even had enough oomph to do it (considering that it sometimes balks at denim). Thank God my husband was home, though, because it was good and stuck, and I couldn't've gotten my finger free (or the needle out) on my own (he needed pliers, as it was). I can just picture what would've happened had this been daytime; I would've had to pick up the machine with my free hand and get across the room to the nearest phone and call 911. How... annoying. Not to mention painful. And potentially embarrassing.
