Just curious how many people have been bitten by their fish before?

I got bit for the first time today by my Datnoides Campbelli, i'm fattening it up atm on worms before i start trying to convert to pellets again . I feed it by hand so my other fish dont nick the worm and instead of biting the worm bit me :( didnt hurt but took me by suprise!
 
i definitley have! my nano 30 gal saltwater tank, i only have one clown fish in it, end everything i stick my hand in there to clean it he bites me.. he seems like he is playing around at first, then when i put my hand in deeper to clean the bottom he attacks lol.
 
One of my piranhas jumped out and there was no time for the net so i picked it up with my bare hands, poor little guy bit me out of fear
 
Oh year....An Oscar took my finger to the first Knuckle, bit my thumb nucle before and drew blood. A 1 inch piranha bit my once, 1 inch or not that kinds hurt!
 
Yeah, my black aro draws blood all the time. Gotta keep an eye on that guy. I've also been bitten by pacus, Oscar, and a jag. Every time I was bitten was because I wasn't paying attention. I always keep an eye on the payara and gars when my hand is in the tank. Really don't want to be bitten by either. Lol
 
Every time I reach in my large tank all the little tiger barbs nip my arms.
Does not hurt but can be startling sometimes
 
Long story short

Helping a friend mount some new T5 VHO on his 120 full hood
I reach down to pick something up and causually
place my hand over the 6-7" open hood and
a Jardini jumps out of the tank and bites my index finger
took like 2sec
scared the p out of me
cut me in two places, once from the upper jaw and the lower jaw
I never realized Jardini's had teeth
Naow I do
