A Prestigious Story: Not me but my father-in-law
He was doing a bit of DIY, like he's done for decades. Sawing a bit of timber, easy peasy power-saw lost fingertips. Off to the hospital etc. Mother-in-law rang her daughter. Ring ring. Ring ring. All the people in the cinema turned to look at us, tutting at the anti-social pair who left their phone on when the cinema rules said not to. The wife left and took the call about her dad's missing fingers.

Then she came back and explained what happened. No, we didn't need to leave (her parents live about 3hrs drive away). We decided to finish watching the film. About twenty minutes later, a character in the film gets his finger shot off. About an hour later, a (sort-of) different character chops off his finger with a chisel.

Cut a bit close to the bone that did.
