A few years ago I was headed to bed and went to go put the stick into the track. As I stand back up my head ramed into the little dangling rod you use to open and close them. As I do the dance of pain, cursing and hold my head in pain I discover the blood running down the side of my head, fuck. I rip the rod off the track go to throw it. I have a moment of clarity realizing I'm about the throw it at my TV. Still mad I throw it at the floor. I then watch in stunned horror as it bounced and did a little twirl into my TV. Said fuck it and went to bed. The next day I ordered new blinds for my back door ( they dont have a rod but string) and went to Costco for a new TV.
