What stupid accidents have you had?

[boomchikawowwow]

I always seem to have stupid injuries for one reason or another.

This evening I thought I almost smashed my teeth out from a drinking glass. My tooth still feels sore now

I'm always covered in burn marks from taking things out of the oven.

Who else is accident prone?

@Sweetpea1532 To be honest, I wasn’t much in the mood for eating strawberries after that and it was off to A&E. But I don’t think the family fancied them much either…

[Sweetpea1532]

@Tarabelle
Ouch! Did you have to throw away your strawberries?

[Tarabelle]

Blending some strawberries with a hand blender, and stopped to wipe some lumpy bits off the blade with my free hand. Sadly my other hand was still on the control button - and yes, I blended my finger. I thought I'd sliced the top off but it was just a really deep cut. I lost some sensation though, it's still quite numb...

[OldTinHat]

Tripped over dog and broke my nose, fell off my high heels and broke my ankle, broke my tail bone at a school disco, fell up stairs and broke my wrist - I'm sure I'll think of plenty more shortly!

[lifeturnsonadime]

I'm currently laid up with a broken ankle. I slipped on wet pavement and broke my ankle in two places, my heel and my shin.

Hope your son is ok.

Iv broke my wrist this way too 🤦🏻‍♀️

[BearSoFair]

I've posted this before, but taking the rubbish to the big external bins at the shopping centre I worked in, saw the centre manager across the car park so waved hello, tripped over my own feet, dropped and split the bin bag, tore my trouser leg, grazed my knee, pulled a muscle in my bum and over-extended the tendons/ligaments in my wrist - needed to wear a splint for weeks afterwards! It seemed to happen in slow mo as his wave back turned into a shocked "oh noooo Bear are you ok?!?!"

@paradisaea Your name isn't Harold Lloyd, is it?

[Ddot]

Very funny

[paradisaea]

I was servicing the town clock. The ladder fell away and I left swinging grasping onto the two big black hands. I eventually let go and fell on top of a passing baker carrying a plank on which were carefully balanced about a dozen meringue pies. I hit the end which catapulted all the pies into the air and landed on a dozen policemen who had all just left the station on patrol. I was then chased by them in two old cars, cops hanging off the side, until my car went bang and the wheels and doors fell off.

@BoredOfThisShit

😱

@AlCalavicci
This thread, too!

[sussexman]

I just have trouble seeing things :(

When I was about 14 myself, Mum and my sister were going to Clarks for new shoes. Two of us walked happily through the open door. I walked into the closed one.

I have collided with those pesky invisible Post Boxes not once but twice.

I surprisingly frequently lean forward to inspect whatever I'm cooking on the hob and engage in an unexpected head/extractor hood interaction.

[Ddot]

Think I get my friends to read this thread, they think I need supervision. Compared to some on here I'm not as my name suggests dippy old tart🤪 extra d is a secret

[CassandraCalled]

Please may I ask - how did you burn your face on an iron?! Ouch!

[bruffin]

Fallen over the garage step twice in a month

First time landed on my forehead, had a black eye and a tooth through my chin and bruised legs , just got over the black eye and did it again and landed on my fists, ended up with bruised knuckles and knees.

[quote Cushionsnotpillows]@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba I've only read the first part of the thread and over ten posts are yours - honestly, how are you still alive? It's a miracle! [/quote]
@Cushionsnotpillows

🤣
to quote George of the jungle "George is lucky I guess!"

I almost died when I was 2 (some infection caused prolonged high fever that made me very ill) then I got another near brush with appendicitis that was almost perforated by the time I had the op when I was 10.
never broke a bone.

I read so many of these stories thinking "😱yeah, mine are not even close".

[Fireants]

The pain was excruciating. I wish I’d never reacted like that.

[AutistGoth]

Never iron your clothes in the nude. I did and gave myself a beautiful burn mark on the left hand side of my belly.

The worst thing is that two days later, I did the exact same thing again!

[Fireants]

I was standing at a festival in Texas and felt my leg BURN. To cool it down, I wiped my ice-lolly up and down my leg. Cue zillions of additional fire ants coming out of the nest at the smell of sugar. Bitten to death, they were all over me.

[nothingcanhurtmewithmyeyesshut]

Ran myself over with an electric pallet truck. I stopped but didn't take my thumb off the switch and ran it into the back of my own legs and somersaulted over the top of it.

[Ddot]

Ripping beans off a bamboo teepee, bamboo snapped and impaled my wrist. Numpty surgeon insisted nothing in there even though you get hold of the wood ( ooo err mrs) cleaned it out but not before he gave me a 3" scar. Then had to go back into surgery six weeks later to get the half inch piece of bloody wood out. 1" scar. Unfortunately now have dent (infection ate my wrist) and two scars so look like I tried to top myself

[Zoorhik]

When my two children were about 4 and 5; I was up a ladder trying to use an electric hedge trimmer. Ladder moved and I fell ripping a lot of skin off my forearm and hurting both legs. Called the children to come and help and get mummy’s phone. Children came over very slowly, looked at me, and then went back to playing! I had to crawl inside to get phone. I’ve stabbed through the soft bit on my hand between thumb twice. Have been head butted by my horse which fractured brow bone and knocked me out. Horse slipped and fell on me tearing ligaments in knee. Have cut a fair slice from top of my finger with a 4 blade razor, digging in bag for it in gym. Wouldn’t stop bleeding because I’d been taking turmeric ( blood thinner) and low dose aspirin. Had to have it stitched . Broken 2 toes at school by dropping those blinking wooden boxes the children play with. Took skin off palms when I fell on a gravel drive. Had to have gravel tweezered out. That was most painful injury I’ve had.
