How did you get your last bruise?

I have one on my finger from pulling a cloth out of the machine and hitting it on the inside of the drum of the tumble drier above. Fucking weird turn of events!

Also sporting a small one on my head from hitting my head on the bathroom sink when pulling my jeans up about 10 minutes later. No idea how tbh

I've got a huge one on my thigh from sitting down wrong

I'm 65 and l wake up every morning with bruises on random parts of my body.
I only have to gently tap something these days and l bruise.. lots of very painful ones.. but that's called ageing.

Fell forwards on my knees on a very icy road. Ouch!

Side of my calf from carrying a bag of logs to the car

I went out to fetch the bins in and bashed my upper thigh against a plant pot.

No idea. I just get random bruises.
Things do seem to jump out on me though. Door frames, tables etc.

Top of feet, practising my roundhouse kicks on the pads at martial arts

I’ve got on on the front of my shin from walking into the dishwasher door when it was pulled down. Another on my thumb from dropping a knife (handle first, fortunately!)

EffortlessDelegation · 10/01/2024 15:07

I can't remember TBH, I don't bruise easily. The main way I get them is catching myself on the corners of tables or similar.

TM1979 · 10/01/2024 15:09

My most recent one is on my upper left arm which I busted off the door going into the toilets of a pub. I wasn’t even drunk! It’s a terrible shade of yellow now.

On the leg from walking ino the corner of my own desk at work.

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 10/01/2024 15:11

I slipped in the shower and raked the side of my foot along the raised plughole cover thing. Unfortunately it was the foot I broke last year and therefore hurt a lot more than it should have done!

Jules912 · 10/01/2024 15:13

On my arm from walking into a doorframe. In my own house, which I've lived in for years, while completely sober.

idontlikealdi · 10/01/2024 15:13

Caught my finger running up stirrup leathers. It really bloody hurt and the bruise is perfectly round.

peerie · 10/01/2024 15:16

Dishwasher door here too 😩

GreySantaRabbit · 10/01/2024 15:19

Walked into the wheelbarrow handle. I was pushing it at the time on muddy ground.

CrushingOnRubies · 10/01/2024 15:19

I've got a bruise on my thigh. Think I must have got it at work, always bashing my legs at work, I'm clumsy

TigerRag · 10/01/2024 15:21

I have no idea

DramaAlpaca · 10/01/2024 15:22

I bruise really easily and I'm always covered in them. Especially on my thighs from my boisterous dog jumping onto my lap and digging his claws in.

TeylaEmmagan · 10/01/2024 15:23

from B12 injection 2 weeks ago🙄

OldTinHat · 10/01/2024 15:24

I wake up every morning and think, oh, that's a new bruise! No idea where they come from.

Chikasan · 10/01/2024 15:37

Big black bruise on my outer thigh from the closing latch of a stair gate!

OvaHere · 10/01/2024 15:43

I always seem to have an ankle bruise from emptying the dishwasher and walking into the open door. Done it more times than I care to remember!

DancingDangerously · 10/01/2024 15:45

I bashed straight into a doorframe.
