Have you ever hurt yourself bad enough to create... bizarre emotional responses?
Like, yesterday a forklift, er, tried to occupy the same space as me during work yesterday. I banged up my knee pretty bad. Now, forgetting about that, I tried to sit cross-legged on my office chair (I do that a lot, helps my back for some reason). Of course, the knee didn't have any of that. Pain receptors start freaking out, but I can't just unbend the knee super fast because the pain is telling me not to, so it's dragged out as I try to straighten the knee.
Basically it hurt bad enough that I started chuckling uncontrollably. This is a fairly common - if not really strange - reaction I have to pain.
The question is, does this happen to you? Or do you react only with the expected anger/anguish/etc?
