Netizens Enumerate 30 Things That Are Way Worse Than Stepping On A Lego

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?

Or stepping on a street urchin. But if they’re plucky, you take them in and they save the day from nefarious stock manipulators.

What do you think ?

Ladedah 2 years ago (edited)

Why is there always some depressing, unrelated personal event in a list of otherwise funny responses? "Losing Your Entire Family In A Car Accident"? "Watching Your Older Sister Have A Brain Aneurysm At 20 And Die In 10 Minutes"? Oddly specific and, also, in an entirely different category than "Stepping on a Lego." Not trying to be completely rude, but - seriously - just go get a therapist and stop mucking up the light-hearted posts with all the sympathy-seeking, heavy BS. Some people just need a fun distraction from their own s**t.

butt soup 2 years ago (edited)

couldn't have said it better myself. although i feel sympathy for these people & wish they didn’t have to experience the heartache they've gone through, they seriously need to grasp the definition of context & learn when it's appropriate to share these sorts of things. no s**t, of course losing a loved one is more painful than stepping on a lego! nobody is doubting your pain! but people aren't here to read about your deepest darkest traumas, they're here to have a funny discussion about minor inconveniences. these people need therapy not only as an outlet for them to vent about the struggles they've faced, but also to deal with their inappropriate & obnoxious desire for others to approve of & validate their experiences.

Working in a call centre and someone comes on the phone, regardless if it's outbound or inbound and now you know you have to talk to someone who's likely not happy. That hits you in the gut pretty hard. I'm glad I'm leaving this job in a week and a half. I swear I'm gonna get an ulcer or something. See? The feeling is mutual.

Does BoredPanda edit their listicles anymore? Some of these took a really dark turn and were pretty damn disturbing....stepping on a Lego is very different than stepping on a landmine. The tone of this article was all over the place and kind of creepy at times.
