What's the most stupid way you've injured yourself?

Broke little toe.
DS was potty training & nappyless in front room. Wooden floored front room.
He peed on the floor, I came into the room in stockinged feet and skidded uncontrollably across the floor and collided with the hearth.

another one: I once broke a couple of ribs during a coughing fit!

I broke a finger ptting on shoes in a hurry.

Also broke ribs during sex. That was fun to explain (NOT)!!

A veterinary ex boyfriend broke his hand because a cow stood on his foot.

The cow standing on his foot was rather painful, so to encourage her to get off his foot he hit the cow on the head with his hand...

On another occasion he rang me to ask if I could drive him to A&E as he had his fingers crushed by another cow (possibly a friend of the first one, I couldn't say). He had been to a local cottage hospital and they had bandaged it with his middle finger sticking proudly upwards. The triage nurse at A & E asked him if it was a comment on the NHS .

I feel confident about winning this (pride at own stupidity)

Was doing sprint intervals on a treadmill. Put treadmill on 18kph. Jumped on treadmill. Fell over. Didn't let go of side bars with hands so legs got dragged on belt. Smell of burning lycra. Leggings shredded. Legs shredded (think serious astroturf burns- couldnt get it wet for 2 weeks and had to use that non stick dressing)

You're thinking it cant get worse, right?

It did. Pressure of belt on lycra pulls leggings down. Whole of Fitness First (who are all looking as I'm squealing in pain) see my bare ass.

Not good.

Thats ok

Sorry SleepyCaz, my post appeared just after yours, did not mean yours was funny, sounds v v sore.

Very funny thread

Mine is sprained my ankle imitating DS dancing (doing type of 'running man'), he's 6, I'm too old for that 39

TUT. Silly me, not that.....

Daughter cut her face on science safety goggles in school. Stupid safety goggles - not safe at all!

also, way back when - during a nightmare situation with a nutty stalker ex,

I punched the pillow on my bed due to sheer frustration at the lack of support I was getting from the Police

ended up breaking my thumb & a bone in my hand - turns out my missing belt with large chunky triumph tank badge buckle was lurking beneath & I punched that too

I dreamt I broke my wrist when I was about 12, woke up the next morning in agony and I had somehow broken my wrist in my sleep - I assume I fell out of bed and got back in!

I also managed to forget to drop the rounders bat when playing at school, swang my arms when running and hit the inside of my knee with the bat. 13 years, 3 ops and 4 MRI scans later I still have trouble with it!

Stepped quite normally off our bottom stair & collapsed in agony grabbing my leg - turned out I'd torn my calf muscle

6 weeks on crutches, surgery threat due to nerve entrapment - thankfully that bit sorted with physio & probably the best part of 6 months later & it STILL hasn't healed properly & I still can't get my head around how I could hurt myself so badly by doing something so perfectly ordinary & no accident involved

I concussed myself by leaning forward to wipe my bum

Scaredydog I also shut myself in my own car door! Right on the top of my arm, went to exbf's mum's wedding a day or two later where all the photos show me in a sleeveless top with one totally black arm...

My first ever trip to A&E aged about two for x-rays on both feet was the result of me pulling a dining table over on them whilst in Habitat with my parents... I have a stigmata-style scar on the palm of my hand from trying to open a carton of milk with a foot-long carving knife aged aout 14... And a friend of mine knocked herself out at a party once after being so violently sick she smashed her head on the toliet bowl...

Also, smacked my forehead on the bedside table during some vigourous activity and have a dent in it now .

I broke my elbow whilst demonstrating how to heeley to my ss using my younger brothers heeleys lol well I'd seen the kids at the playscheme I was working at doing it and it looked easy! Ss never did wear the heeleys I'd just bought him again...

I went to flop onto my bed face first and completely missed. Bashed my face and broke my glasses which had fallen on the floor earlier.

Broke wrist roller skating in a tiled kitchen

Gave myself a corneal abrasion (painful)! whilst flicking through a newspaper. The glossy ad insert jumped up and caught my eye. \ I was wearing glasses at the time.....

I fell off a bouncy castle when I was eight. It wasn't off the high side, but the bit where you get on and off. Did something to the ligaments in my left leg that meant it was in plaster from ankle to thigh for three months.

When I was about 12 I was given a hard back edition of Ivanhoe and I dozed off in bed reading it. It flopped forward onto myface and gave me a black eye and bruised nose.

My mother won't let me forget either of these.

Scalded the skin of my stomach by pressing down too hard, too soon on a full cafetiere of coffee. I can only imagine that a lot of steam pressure built up. The top flew off and a coffee fountain went all over the office kitchen and aforementioned stomach (I was wearing a flimsy T-shirt that skimmed my waistband, so some coffee hit the skin direct, some went through the T-shirt. If fucking hurt. but at least I got a day off work to go to A&E

I cut into my fingertips with a knife - I was holding the butter in one hand and cutting down into it with a sharp knife. I have no idea why I thought that was a good technique. It really hurt, blood everywhere, I was trying to bake with dd - you'd think that was a fairly safe.. I called my mum.
