I have just trapped a nipple between two plastic laundry baskets and almost severed it. Unbelievably painful, unbelievably embarrassing to tell anyone about in RL!!

Make me feel better by telling me your humiliating mishaps? Happy to bask in the warmth of other's distress Grin

I once thought to myself whilst eating a ice lolly, I wonder if it is true ice sticks to your tounge? hmmm

it fucking does I panicked and pulled the ice lolly quickly off resulting in about 3 layers of skin off my tounge.

hurt for days and days.

Ok, here's mine. I was around 12/13 years old at a convent boarding school. I was fed up that I hadn't started my periods yet, and everyone else had so I was "practising" with tampons. I got one stuck having not unwound the string. I eventually went to the school nurse who, rather alarmingly, was a nun, and she had a go but couldn't get it out. I had to go to a local clinic and have it winched out with a metal instrument. Very uncomfortable. Prepared me for childbirth though.

foreverhot I had to be taken to A&E as a toddler as I did get a saucepan stuck on my head as a toddler playing soldiers Blush

Using my new dyson Hoover recently when I was taking the hose attachment off and it got stuck to my boob and sucked in half of it but luckily I managed to turn it off before my nipple got sucked in too. Was bloody ouchy and I can vouch for their claim of no loss of suction.

Yankee - any details?

As a child had to go to Casualty with a grapefruit pip in my ear. < thanks Dad for pushing it deeper when trying to extract it> It was very painful.

MajesticWhine · 28/08/2013 22:44

reminds me of the film "There's something about Mary" - you really need to see that Oinkling

I cannot stop larfing

Grin especially at pizza chin

Caught penis in the zip of my jeans during a commando phase. Pain came quickly. Also, the thought of how to stop the pain. Bits of me were physically meshed with the zip. Undo slowly and suffer? Undo quickly and risk an incident that could decide my future? Pain increasing fast. Snip the red wire or the green wire (and hope my own wire doesn't get snipped)?

I chose green. Slow. It got worse before it got better but then myself and my apparel achieved twoness. I stopped entertaining commando ambitions that very day.

Although I still zip up very slowly.

Littlefish I am so identifying with 'my breasts were lying next to me on the bed' Grin

Went riding in The Wrong Bra and a shirt with embroidery across nipple type area. Bra broke completely at the furthest possible point from home and result was red raw nipples from embroidery on the ride back .....
It took weeks to resolve

Always wear the Right Bra when riding ......

I burnt my entire chin with a pizza! The cheese slid off whilst I was eating a slice and it stuck to my chin.

It was very painful and I looked awful. It was red and scabby for 2weeks.

BadgersNadgers · 28/08/2013 22:32

I did a karate chop on a Lego tower whilst having a tantrum. I ended up in A&E because I thought I'd broken my hand and I had to explain to the very unimpressed nurse what I'd done. DH was laughing like Mutley.

makemineamalibuandpineapple · 28/08/2013 22:29

I have told this story on MN before. My son once got trapped in a bus stop bench. It was one where it has two or three horizontal poles that make up the bench a few inches apart IYSWIM. He was standing on it (bad parent I know). Anyway, he slipped and the force of the fall pushed his leg through and we couldn't get it out. We tried pushing/pulling/taking shoe off etc. in the end I had to call the fire brigade who dismantled the bench to free him Blush

I am extremely well endowed in the nork region.

DH once pinned me to the bed by pushing himself up to a sitting position using his elbow on the bed. Unfortunately, my nipple was between his elbow and the mattress as my breasts were lying beside me on the bed (I was lying on my side). Unbelievably excruciating pain which stayed for hours. It was so painful that I couldn't shout at him and tell him what he'd done, so I just lay there, unable to move!

Not me but nipple related, my uncle had a nipple piercing, was an independent builder, working with his shirt off. There was a protruding nail...

Pivot I love your name- Ross Geller?! I have also done that- it stings so much!

Lestagal78 · 28/08/2013 22:23

I bent my little finger back tormenting ds with a toy banana.

AlpacaPicnic · 28/08/2013 22:22

Its fair... everyone at work laughed too. I kept knocking it and wincing so I had to fess up.

I quite like it sounds posh!
