What's your stupidest injury?

[ForQuaintMintCat]

Fell out of bed injured my knee

I fell over the sign warning of a wet floor....

Walking my dog, he got giddy and span me round in a circle

He tore a ligament in my ankle. I left it around a week to go hospital too as I kept thinking it would be better by the next day

I recently discovered that if you put light to medium pressure on the opposite side to the stone (once you've cut the avocado open), it just pops out anyway.

Poked myself in the eye with my toothbrush while brushing my teeth. I've done this multiple times.

Put a knife through my hand trying to open an oyster shell.

During Covid home learning in winter with a (brilliant) teacher who loves outside learning and suggested going outside to do every subject in nature. Was in the woods on a cold wet day with three grumpy kids (not) making shapes and letters out of sticks when one poked another in the eye with a stick. I rushed to help, slipped and fell on a tree stump. Had an enormous bruise on my thigh that lasted for weeks. Stopped the kids arguing quick when I swore in pain though.

I just managed to smack myself in the face putting on a bedsheet

Was vacuuming the stairs and when i go to the top i realised it wasnt on full power. I started to come back down the stairs and pulled the cleaner too hard and it fell on to my head, bruising my forehead.

Walked into a board I was carrying and gave myself a black eye

Picked up a cup of tea.... dislocated my finger! Absolutely no idea how I achieved this but it was incredibly painful

Hurt my foot at rugbytots as running with dd holding her hand.
Fell off same dc scooter and hurt my shoulder (actualoy thought broke other wrist but that was fine)

I stubbed my toe on the table. You know that anger inducing pain? I am not and have never been an angry person. I am not one for losing my temper.
With my other foot I kicked the table leg and broke my foot!

Put my hand down between 2 sofa cushions and broke my fingers.

Perforated eardrum from going down waterslides too fast - a couple of years ago 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I never learn

Knocked the blade for my food processor off the worktop and caught it, slicing my hand open!

Massive scald to my chest from an exploding cafétière... Possibly the most middle-class injury ever!

Was it a Sainsbury's one from a few years ago? I had a similar experience, only I was soaked from the waist down and was only a bit red. I got an email from the some time later, saying that the glass was weak and to bring it back for a replacement / refund. They only gave me a bloody fiver - I'd put it in the bin, which they seemed to find strange...

When I was 14, a few of us were on some waste ground at dusk. I spotted a football and wellied it... it turned out to be a white painted concrete ball. I broke the last bone in my big toe. It REALLY hurt.

Cut my thumb knuckle on one of those mandolins with the bladed teeth. Then got bleach in it when I knocked a bottle of toilet bleach over. Ended up in the burns unit of my local hospital. It's still not right.

Sliced my arm on a chainsaw. Cut was about 4 inches long and requrired 20 stitches. What makes it stupid is that the chainsaw was switched off and on the ground at the time. I tripped and as I fell my arm caught the chain resulting in the laceration.

When I was about 8 I put my mums high heels on and went out into the garden using the cobbled path as a catwalk I tripped over and smacked my face on the edging of the path and broke my nose

tripped over a white, parking space line in a supermarket car park and broke my elbow.

Wow! I'm actually pretty impressed at that!

Tripped on my bedcovers taking them to washing machine and broke my knee

Jumped to catch a frisbee thrown by my daughter and tore the anterior ligament in my foot upon landing. She thought it was hilarious at the time because I fell over and my legs made an exaggerated "V" shape in the air.

Almost cut through a vein in my wrist by falling into an open tool box. Alcohol not involved. Well, it wasn't up until that point anyway.

Bust my elbow falling over whilst "speed" ice-skating to catch up with a crush of mine. Fortunately he didn't notice.

Broke my nose falling over by getting tangled up in that hi-vis tape that builders put around hazards to stop people, er, falling.

Somehow knackered my leg whilst asleep so was hobbling about for about 3wks.

PMSL!!!!
