What's your stupidest injury that's stupidly painful?

Just stabbed myself in the boob with the end of he egg whisk. Bloody painful! Yelled so loudly even the cat looked concerned. What's your most trivial but wildly disproportionally painful injury?

Entire bottle of nail varnish that I mistook for my hayfever drops and poured into my eye.

I knocked my kindle off the bed on to my second smallest toe...woke the whole house up screaming, honestly thought I'd broken my toe. Couldn't sleep for the pain, got up expecting black and blue but nothing there! And after another couple of hours, no pain at all

Having a shower.

It was a couple of weeks after I'd got nipple piercings and I was using one of those plastic scrunchie scrubber things and dropped it - but it failed to reach the floor.

Had to yell for DP to come and save me from the bastard thing. Of course, it's very difficult to remove such things when you're practically crying with laughter at the soaking wet and whimpering stupid cow with a floofy pink pouff hanging from her left tit.

Dropped fresh out of the microwave porridge oats onto my foot...... Instant loss of skin, then a huge blister for days afterwards

I got a paper cut on the very tip of my tongue from licking an envelope.

DuggeesWoggle · 20/03/2019 18:54

Was your eye ok DrMadeleineMaxwell that sounds horrific Shock

I went to put my phone in my dressing gown pocket. Except that dressing gown doesn't have pockets so it dropped end down onto my foot. The whole house knew about it from my exclamation and my foot was bruised for a fortnight.

Tampax compact. Evil claw.

Pulled a muscle in my tongue licking the creme out of a creme egg.

*before they became awful!

I had slept through my alarm one morning after DH left for work at 5 and was running about trying to get me and DS out the door.

After much faffing - more on my behalf than his - I lost my rag at noticing his shoes weren't tied (my bloody fault for not being able to remember where his velcro trainers) bent down and cracked my head on the edge of the radiator.

I lay on the floor and wept, cue much confusion from son and cat.

Isitweekendyet · 20/03/2019 18:59

@treenu I laughed out loud.

That's something I would do.

EastMidsGPs · 20/03/2019 18:59

Box of porridge oats fell out of cupboard and broke my toe. It sort of fell so that the corner sharp edge got me.

Bunnybigears · 20/03/2019 19:00

Shaved the very tip of my nose off trying to peer at the razor in the shower to see if it was a rusty old one or a decent newish one. I didn't have my glasses on and my depth perception was all skewed. It bled like a tap.

theworldistoosmall · 20/03/2019 19:01

Loads. But the stupiest was somehow injured my toes when I was sleeping. Took weeks for the pain to stop.

pisspawpatrol · 20/03/2019 19:01

The time I missed my armpit completely and sprayed anti-perspirant in my eye. Who knew your eye could be SO dry?! It was like the fucking Sahara desert.

There was the time I fell out of my own front door and fractured the side of my foot too. That one hurt for years.

MikeUniformMike · 20/03/2019 19:02

Dropped something heavy on my bare foot when dusting. Limped for 6 weeks.

PrivateIsles · 20/03/2019 19:04

I was ironing once and was pressing down so hard with the iron that the ironing board collapsed on itself, but as I was still pressing on the iron, the plug flew out of the socket and hit me right in the face.

I don't iron much any more...

Metaplasia · 20/03/2019 19:05

Yawned at the same time as turning my head and fucked my neck for about a week. Couldn't move it. Who the hell pulls a muscle yawning?! Also my husband rang me earlier to tell me he'd sonehow got cramp in his arse cheek. Sat at his desk, not moving 🤦🏻‍♀️

ArseholesOnToast · 20/03/2019 19:07

Running down the stairs to let the piddly dog out quick, jumped off the second stair on to the up turned plug of the hoover in the hallway.

The pain was something else.

Metaplasia · 20/03/2019 19:07

Oh and once I ripped off my entire thumbnail, while I was dusting. Caught it on the edge of the fireplace

NecklessMumster · 20/03/2019 19:08

Got my hands all slippy with soap in the shower and managed to jab them up my nose!
Worse....slipped on spilled water barefoot in the kitchen ..foot shot under oven and big toe nail pushed half off...had to have it off in a and e with gas and air

MyBreadIsEggy · 20/03/2019 19:10

I spent Christmas in a&e when I was 14, as my mother dropped one of those vegetable peeler cum Apple corer thingies point-down onto my bare foot and the fucker stuck right in.
A few stitches and just a perfectly circular scar remains on the top of my foot.

I should add it was an accident - my mother isn’t some sort of sadist who stabbed me on purpose!

katseyes7 · 20/03/2019 19:13

We used to have a 'secret' small television at work which we used on late shifts and weekends. lt lived under a chair in a small office between our office and the bosses office. l was getting it out one night and l dropped it on my foot. Broke my toe.

QueenofCBA · 20/03/2019 19:16

Breaking in my very cool DMs at uni I got terrible blisters on my heels. Kept wearing the cool DMs anyway, one of the blisters got infected and I had to walk on crutches for a few weeks.
