What's your stupidest injury?

[ForQuaintMintCat]

Fell out of bed injured my knee

Stabbed myself in the foot with a spade whilst attempting to do some gardening in sandals.

Dislocated my knee whilst lying down in bed 😂

Tripped over a Prada handbag I left in the middle of my office floor. My knee has never been the same.

Got hit by a Deliveroo cyclist crossing the road and ended up with 13 stitches in my calf.

Fell on a safety mat and fractured my ankle.

Slipped on wet hall floor last September, foot slammed into door frame and broke big toe (chipped bit off side), still can’t bend it now and daily pain in it. Waiting to see orthopaedic doctor but they have just cancelled my end of May appointment due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ and now have to wait to hear about new appointment😩😩

Poked myself in the eye with a chocolate umbrella. Had to wear an eye patch for a week.

Burnt my bum sitting on my hair straighteners while only wearing pants

Fell through a manhole in the garden whilst washing my ground floor windows, broke my big toe and stabbed my leg with the rusty edge of the manhole cover.

Oh and fell head first over a coffee table in the dark

Broke a rib vacuuming.
Also, separate occasion, I popped a (different) rib cartilage making a crimpet...

I also fell head first over a glass coffee table cutting my leg open while leaving an awful job interview

Ran into a French door I thought was open wearing glasses, cut my nose and got 2 black eyes!

I'm on a roll now... I cracked a toe falling off my daughter's scooter while riding it home from school drop off. I now have arthritis in it.

I stapled my finger because I wanted to see how hard I had to press the stapler to staple it. Screamed the office down.

Woah, hold up. Chocolate umbrella? I need more details. Is this an umbrella made from chocolate, or an umbrella to keep rain off of chocolate? Either way, I am bemused.

Used to work in childcare and was holding a baby who had a rattle in their hands I was talking to a parent and I was playing with the baby and rattle and accidentally hit myself on the lips with it. No blood thankfully but lips were numb for a while

My mam always gets little chocolate umbrellas to hang on the Christmas tree, they are very very pointy.

Rushing to get a pen, caught my sleeve on the door handle, door shut, I caught my finger in it (still don’t know how), and partially severed it - had to get it stitched back together and had it in a huge bandage while the bone and wound healed. Ouch. Oh, and ring blocks bloody hurt 😲

Slipped on some ice on the pavement and broke my leg in three places

Not me but a friend, in sixth form... She called me one day telling me she was in hospital for the night and would I like to visit her. And if I did, would I bring her some jelly babies. So I did, and I did... Mostly to verify the story she told me about why she was admitted, because she was a bit of a weirdo and joker and I didn't believe it. It turns out, she really was racing some randoms on a borrowed bike down a country road, hit a log and went over the handlebars. And when she sat up dazed, she realised she had a large twig pierced and stuck through the top half of her ear. She was due in surgery to remove the rest in the morning and the large round-the-head bandages and the nurse verified the story 😆

Also scratched my corneas a couple of times with tweezers (admittedly I had been drinking alcohol)

Swinging off the ledge over the stairs in my childhood home - I've grown since I was 10 and gave myself a black eye. Fortunately the bloke doing my job interview the next day was a rugby player and thought it perfectly normal to turn up with a black eye.

Also got really bad bruising the time I nearly ran myself over with my own car.

😱😩😱

Dislocated knee tripping over a ping pong ball which I'd dropped whilst playing table tennis ( badly, obviously) .
