To ask what’s the most ridiculous injury you’ve given yourself?

I have a few.....
I did the rake thing as a child, blood everywhere.

As a teenager I once put my hand full on the iron to see if was hot. It was, my dm was ironing at the time.

A few months before xh and I got married, I was dropping dd to the child minder and I was in a rush. I bent into the car to get her bag, misjudged where the door was and practically knocked myself out bashing my head on the corner of the door. I ended up with concussion, a whiplash type neck injury and stitches.

I also tore my meniscus getting into my car! I was coming out of work, it was dark and raining and I was the last one out so had to lock up. Again. I had a Mini at the time, so swung my bags into the passenger seat and twisted my knee. It was excruciating!

Accidentally ironed my leg. And more than once too!

I’ve done this too! Fortunately it was only a small one but it bloody hurt.

I had been swimming with my older sister. I was about 4 I had my favourite dress on. We were in the backyard our brother was in the kitchen laughing at us refusing to let us in. So my sister got me to climb through the living room window. Was the old sash type windows that pushed up from the bottom.

But our old broken toilet was underneath the window. Unfortunately when trying to climb in. I fell on the toilet and cut my backside open. I remember running up and down the yard screaming and hitting my sister on the way past. I don’t remember where our mum was but our next door neighbour took us on the bus to the hospital to get stitched up. Why are brothers so annoying?🤣🤣🤣

Saw this comment after I made mine! 😂

I’ve done that!! It felt like a Tom and Jerry moment!! 😂 It was worse as I wear glasses so smacked my glasses into my face!

I had concussion and some spectacular bruises after walking (quite fast!) into the lights in an operating theatre once. Now plenty of theatre staff bang their heads on the lights from time to time but what made my incident so ridiculous is that I'm under 5ft tall and hence not really entitled to bash my head on anything!

Slipped on greasy floor plates when volunteering in a ships engine room went down sideways between the engines - which was good

What wasnt good was that my ribs crashed into a metal mop bucket

That hurt!

I was bending down to get my hand bag and i split my lip on the table.

I have loads but a few - slipped on water in the kitchen damaging my knee, cracked a rib when I tripped over a kerb and just this morning whilst on holiday I’ve managed to trip and hurt my knee, chip a tooth and take a chunk out of my lip. Husband has also managed to sprain his shoulder whilst wiping after the toilet and someone we know dislocated a finger whilst doing up their trousers!

2 days ago. Sitting at a computer at work. Moved my foot slightly. Sudden searing pain in my ankle. Made me feel sick and I couldn't stand at first. It kind of felt like it needed to click, but way worse.
Managed to get the pain under control with an ice pack and ibuprofen and could walk but it was very painful and swollen. My job involves a fair amount of walking so I was hobbeling around all day on Sunday and yesterday. I'm off today but its still sore and swollen.
I don't get it. I was just... sitting 😑

I'm an amateur boxer. I've dabbled in MMA fighting. I'm a weightlifter.

I have permanent injuries that I've accrued over the years and I always have a handful of acute injuries, cuts, bruises and scrapes.

But I've never, ever experienced pain like I had last year. A constant dull ache in my lower back which flared up a little on every breath in, and rose to absolute agony if I moved more than 2mm incorrectly.

I got this pain while I was singing "You are my sunshine" to the dog and doing some very miniscule dance moves on key words.

Ridiculous.

I caught my hoop earring at the top of my ear, on the top of a car door as I was getting in. Didn't realise, and then sat down, ripping the earring clean through my ear. There was A LOT of blood, a trip to A&E including a 15 hour wait, and a dozen stitches. To be fair to the MaxFax chap he did a brilliant job and you wouldn't know unless you look really carefully, but I shan't be getting it re pierced! 😱
All from not really thinking about what I was doing...

When pregnant with my last baby it was really hot and whilst ironing i managed to run the bottom of the iron across my belly. The burn was awful!

Didn't see a step leaving a shop so landed heavy on my foot and broke a metatarsal

Burnt my bare arse on a pair of hair straighteners…🙄

Oh I forgot the best one of my stupid accidents! filled up a hot water bottle in my cold flat straight from the kettle. squeezed it like you do to get the air out and was a little too enthusiastic so the boiling water spurted all over my chest and caused burns. Had to go to casualty and saw them all sniggering just a little bit at the stupid way I had burned myself.

I was holding a pen in my mouth. Not side ways but the other way. Anyway I quickly bent down and I somehow knocked the pen right in to my mouth and the lid scratched the roof of my mouth. 🤦🏼‍♀️

watching a particularly long tv programme and so because I was sat in the same place for too long (it was a gripping drama whodunnit) I got really bad cramp leapt up to walk around the room, stumbled and broke a bone in my foot and fractured my leg.

went for all the tests in case it was to do with osteo or anything similar and no it wasnt it was literally just bad luck.

when I was about 4, playing marbles, walking backwards I fell off of a wall 2 bricks high and shattered my collarbone.

Oh and at the same age had a wooden stick in my mouth pretending to play the trumpet in a marching band and marched into a wall embedding the stick in the roof of my mouth and causing a huge amount of damage. my mum was livid.

In my foolish youth I have made the error of leaving hair removing cream on too long under my arms. That was so painful. I had keep my arms up, like I was pretending to flap my wings, for several days while it healed. Ouchy ouchy.

I think about it EVERY time I shave my armpits 🤮

I'm reminded why I'm leccy shaver only!

Also, I punched myself in the face this weekend trying to yank a broom out of the shed. I was too lazy to try and dislodge it from all the crap on top of it so just kept tugging it to try and free it. I freed it eventually. Right into my eye socket.

Eek! 😬

Accidentally shaved my nipple whilst shaving my armpit. Makes me wince just writing that.
