Everyday things you can’t do without injuring yourself, no matter how hard you try?

[Moltenpink]

Unfolding the ironing board

Vacuuming the stairs

Work. Shuffling paper, so many paper cuts.

Cook bacon. My left arm looks like I've got leprosy with all the burn/scald scarring.

Taking stuff out of the ovens, always burn myself.

Grate cheese

Opening ring pull cans. I always hurt my nails doing it.

Yes, to ironing board, clothes airer and oven.
Using a sharp knife is a bit of an issue.
Fold up chairs and stepladders.
Hurting myself on window catches and lever door handles
Corned beef tins invariably turn into a bloodbath.

Walk past a table or desk at thigh height!

Oh god, yes to the papercuts

@GoldenHoops do you have an eye-level oven? Because before I had one, I would burn my forearms and backs of hands all the time. Once I got the kitchen re-done, no more scars

Use a tin opener.

I'm fairly sure I once partially dislocated my hip climbing onto a top bunk bed. The pain was immense & I just lay there for about 5-10 mins waiting for the brain fog from pain to clear & wondering what the fuck I was going to do. Then there was a audible (well I heard it) clunk from my hip & the pain started to ease

Ouch!

I will add to my list... changing the fitted sheet on the top bunk

Changing the bottom sheet on the bed - always manage to bash either knuckles tucking it in or bash my left knee.

Wring out cloths. I have sprained my thumb joint today doing this, not the first time.

Put stuff into kitchen cupboards. Somehow I always manage to jam the base of my fingernails (the part just below the cuticle) into the bottom of the shelf above. Much swearing always ensues.

I always cut myself when I use the mandoline as well, even though it comes with a safety guard I am an idiot and cut myself while thinking "I must use that safety guard". I'd bin it but nothing, not a knife nor the food processor, makes the same properly thin slices of potato for dauphinois or tortilla.

Unloading the car boot. I frequently collide with the tow bar.

Peel anything other than my fingers/nails!

Not exactly every day but setting up a travel cot. I always always get injured but you should see the other guy (i.e. the bastard travel cot henceforth permanently unfolddownable thanks to my manhandling its fucking clippy uppy sides into place with a fucking shoe).

I second (or third!) changing the sheets on the top bunk.
I know where the ceiling is. I am aware of how close my head is to the ceiling.

Still whack my head on it every time.

Washing potatoes-I always, always think "I'll just scrape that little nobble off with my nail", apparently forgetting that every single one of the previous 1,000 times I've done that it has resulted in a painfully lifted nail that I spend days regretting.

I'll also add to changing the sheets on the top bunk. I overstretched and tore a muscle in my ribs. Ouch.

I've also got a permanent scar from when I was peeling potatoes and sneezed.

Setting up deck chairs and sun loungers and moving them or putting them away - so much scope for trapped fingers :(

Love that this is an everyday thing in your house
