My response is always the same; better my foot than the ___.  My reasoning is simple: my foot will heal (for free) the object dropped will not.  This is true, in most cases nothing occurs if I catch an object with my foot, for example if I catch a remote or eye\/sun glasses or something, I have saved it from breaking with no repercussions.  If the object is a little heavier, for example a video tape or clock, my foot may bruise or worst case scenario a bone will break but like I said my foot will heal whereas if I let the object fall and break it will have to be replaced at cost.  Of course it depends on the object, I will catch something irreplaceable but not something I can just get another one of at the dollar store.  Also, there are limits; I will not catch a dropped knife or a frozen bag of milk or turkey\u2026unless of course my cats are beneath.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have on occasion been asked why I automatically stick my foot out to catch things that are dropped.
