Most Ridiculous Injury you have ever had in your life?

[DionneB]

as we have had serious injury , what are some ridiculous injuries you have had in your life before?

i would say slipping on some ice outside Bargin Booze and not being able to walk properly for 3 days afterwards , not fun times.

I fell off the toilet seat at work while trying to change my tampon last week. I was too embarrassed to write it in the accident book even though I had a massive bruise on my leg

Parked outside shop, trapped thumb in car door as I closed it. Felt a bit lightheaded so leant against shop window. Fainted full out face down, hit face on corner of pavement and cracked cheekbone. Came round to all these strangers looking down at me!

thelittledoglaughed the most odd part was that on being referred to gynae very promptly a month later (GP was concerned there was too much in the way of labia which had allowed this to happen), gynaecologist shrugged and said, but doesn’t that happen to everyone at some point ?!

Er... no. I don’t think it does!

@Mucky1 why on earth would you try and take it off? Do you want a limp?

Was on holiday and went out on a boat trip, covered myself in a lot of sun tan cream as we were pretty much on the equator - boat speed up, I flew off the leather seat as I was so greasy straight out little doors at the end & into the sea.

Lots of bruising but mostly to my pride

@BlackPrism I was a single parent moving house and the help I arranged failed to materialise. I couldn't carry anything whilst hobbling along so took it off.
Luckily no limp or lasting problems just a scar from the carving knife. 🙈

I had a first aid box fall on my head and stun me.(There were additional items in it that shouldn't have been in there)

I broke my nose by walking into scaffolding that I didn't see coming out of a shop because I was too busy eating the sweets I'd just bought.

And there was the time a large box of porridge oats fell out of the cupboard and the corner of the box fell sharply, breaking my big toe. Oh how they laughed in a&e

I slipped on ice and sprained my wrist.
The ice had fallen from my glass of vodka and coke as I was a bit too drunk to hold it steadily. So I fell my length.

When I was 15 I came home from school for lunch and whilst making my toast I thought I would press on little red bars that were burning hot , with a metal knife!! I got an electric shock up my arm and the toaster blew up! Oh told my mom I didn't know what had happened

When I worked in a hotel I had a breakfast shift and a dinner shift so in between I came home to lie in the sun. I feel asleep for about 3 hours, in the sun ,on my side!! I woke up with severe sunburn on one side of my face . The slagging I got when I went back to work.

Last one from stupid me, I was living in London , and after an all nighter I got home and thought I'll get a bit of a head start on getting for that night of drinking. So I put my moustache removal cream on , and yes .... I fell asleep. I woke up hours later with this over whelming stinging pain and my moustache was red raw for the best part of two weeks. Funnily enough I still went out that night. Obviously had no shame back then

I broke my nose when a sheep tried to jump over me but fell somewhat short in the attempt and headbutted me instead.

@Jens303 that made me laugh - I am sorry !

Got a freezer burn from a DisneyWorld ice lolly.

I was in the park and bought an orange juice ice lolly from a little cart.

They pulled the last one out of the little box of a cart that they had dozens of around the park.

I didn't realise that they used dry ice (a solid block of carbon dioxide) to cool the contents.

I tried to eat it straight away and it ended up frozen to my bottom lip.

When I ripped it away, it took a small bit of skin with it.

Although it's healed, there's a small lump where the new skin grew.

Dozens of ludicrous accidents, including tripping over my own flares and spraining my ankle; falling off my clogs, ditto; falling off a barge and breaking my wrist; walking into a wall and getting a black eye... it goes on.

Oh yes.

Flares and bicycle chains.

One second flying along and next, falling over the handlebars or just falling sideways because the flares had caught in the bike chain.

That's what bicycle clips are for.

Mild concussion when a friend tried to get my attention from the first floor of a pub by dropping a Cadbury's Creme egg down to where I was on the ground floor. FFS. Hilarious painful injuries are the worst.

Aged about ten we found a huge plastic barrel at the top of a hill, big enough for three of us to climb inside and roll down the hill in.

Didn’t do it twice!

Playing fetch with my dog when he jumped into my hand and broke my finger. Was really sore for a good few weeks.

Have myself a lovely black eye trying to tighten the girth on a new synthetic saddle. Girth straps were like iron and my hand slipped off. That was fun to explain...

Stepped off a curb in York and onto a loose paving stone. Twisted my knee which hurt but I had to drive home which took about 3 hours. I couldn't walk by the time I got out of the car. Drove myself to OOH where I found I'd damaged the ligaments. Ouch.

I licked an ice cream scoop that had been left in the freezer.
Left a bit of my tongue behind when I pulled it off in a panic. It really hurt!

@jens303 my dog is looking at me very confused as I'm sat here in tears from laughing . I'm sorry but I have an image in my head of you disappearing through that little door and cue dramatic music and voice over "and she was never seen again".

I have broken a toe twice 😬
First time I was 4 or 5 and a concrete slab fell on my toe. Second time was when I had workmen coming. They were early and I rushed to the door and broke my toe on the doorframe. 😞

I took a chunk out of my ear on a thorn bush while out running, I swear it jumped out to get me! I was more annoyed because I had to cut my run short as my ear was bleeding a lot, as it was summer and I was hot anyway.

When I was in my twenties I had an evening out drinking. Later that night I got out of bed to go to the loo and fell down a small flight of stairs. Naked.

DH still finds this very amusing.

I walked into a lamp post - truly!
I just turned my head momentarily to take look at something, and the lamp post leapt out from its hiding place and......bang!!

I had a spectacularly bruised nose/cheek/eye for quite a while.

It took me ages to live it down, and to forget about it until I opened this thread

Told my hubby about this thread and he asked if I had told you about “Elvis mouth” 😂😂. I hadn’t so here goes.... when I was early teens my bedroom got redecorated. My mum had a thing about extra carpet being turned into rugs. 1st night in newly decorated bedroom I trip on rug and bang my lip on the corner of my new bedside cabinet. In agony and wake up with a Elvis top lip. Mum says she’ll remove the ‘rug’ but before she does I nip back in room for something and trip again and bang mouth again but on the other side. Top lip was huge and a mess. 🙀
