Ok for about the third year in a row, I have suffered a deep bruise in my right side rib cage. The cause? Leaning into work on any cables or wires under the dash while laying on the parking brake lever while it is set. You don't feel it at first, but that thing digs in after a while and turns purple and f-ing hurts a day later. Yes, I should release the brake before I start climbing in, I get it, but I never seem to remember. Am I the only guy that has to relearn this lesson every year??

One of the body's hints about the aging process. I've had it happen when my knee touches the center console too long while driving. It's worse if you're on blood thinners. Even baby aspirin can affect it. A little reminder to be careful, that's all.
