Badly bruised my wrist after getting it stuck up a sheeps backside.

I was bending down to pick up a newspaper when a sudden violent sneeze crept up on me.

The result was a slipped disc in my back, which took several months of chiropracter appointments and strong painkillers to put right.

I caused my son's first birthday to explode when it came out of th oven, leaving me with burnt arms.

This is a story that will out me in RL...

I was running late to a parents evening and it was pouring with rain. I parked by the school, jumped out of the car and in one smooth motion I flipped up my coat hood and stuck my car key right up my nose...
stupidly I ran straight into the school foyer and straight into the welcoming committee of the headteacher and both deputies dripping wet with blood pouring down my face.

Demonstrating how NOT to cut a bagel. They soon saw why.

I cut the inside of my wrist when I got stuck between a cupboard & a fridge whilst bending down to pick a weight up.

8 months preg & making fresh pasta in hot pants & vest top with no bra on

I had to yell for help & our neighbour had to climb through the window to saw me free, he called on his son & ife for a second opinion on whether to call the fire brigade or not Blush

I know, Gilbonzo I have no idea how I managed it! I'd have thought my arm would have swung out, not in towards my eye.

I was boiling eggs and I managed to somehow splash the water over the edge of the pan and all over my bare foot. The blister was huge! Luckily it healed ok.

I've done that Chickens! i told everyone I scraped it on a wall because I was a very embarrassed 15 yr old. And I've punched myself in the chin doing my bra straps - a black eye is an impressive result!

In my uni days I came in drunk and decided to light a cigerette using the gas hob - whilst leaning over it - I lost a good part of my fringe and eyebrows thanks to that bright idea.

Broke my ankle in two places, requiring emergency surgery, plates and pins, 3 months non weight-bearing so 3 months off work. Was feeding ducks at the time.

ObiWan · 23/08/2011 18:03

Well, I haven't done it yet, but I might fall victim to a post-showering hair dryer accident sometime tonight...

MrsChemist · 23/08/2011 18:03

Sprained my neck by headbanging. Doctor was unimpressed.

ChickensHaveNoEyebrows · 23/08/2011 18:02

I managed to cut my nose last night while shaving my legs. As I swept the blade up my calf, the handle slipped out of my hand, flew up at my face and issued two tiny cuts. I have a ninja razor.

ScatterChasse · 23/08/2011 18:02

Gave myself a black eye from adjusting my bra. You know when you do a sort of jump and pull on the straps to hoik yourself up a bit?

I let go.
