Squeegee flew across my garage and hit the cat last month

Was pulling a wet print on a hoodie and the handle was slick with ink. Grip slipped mid-pull and that thing launched like a missile. Hit my cat Oliver square in the butt while he was napping on the workbench. He gave me a look like I did it on purpose. Hoodie was ruined anyway. Has anyone else had tools just yeet themselves across the room?

My friend Dave had this happen with a heat press once. He was pressing a shirt and the handle was all greasy from his lunch break, and his hand just slid right off. The press slammed down so HARD it cracked his concrete floor tile and sent a little chunk flying toward his dog. The dog yelped and ran straight into a shelf full of ink bottles, which then crashed down everywhere. Dave said it looked like a rainbow crime scene in there and nobody even got a good print out of it. He still finds little bits of plastisol in that corner two years later.

rainbow crime scene" is the funniest way to describe that mess... poor Dave, bet he learned his lesson about greasy handles though.
