Accidentally branded/burned myself

[DaftyLass]

...and now my wrist says ou
Or no, depending on which direction you are standing
I accidentally hit the edge of the turkey pan this weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving).

It makes me wonder how many other dumb things I'll do in my lifetime.

Tell me something silly you've done to distract me, please?

I have a scar on my leg due to an incident with a Le Creuset pan while wearing shorts. I did find out they shattered when falling from a height onto a tiled floor.

Tried to unlock a door with my keys on a lanyard around my neck.. door wasnt actually locked my boss pulled it open from the other side and i head butted the wall.

Until he was 16 our son attended a&e every 6 months with stupid accidents.
Home, school, shops and even the cubs saw him and thought 'oh no'
From the age of 4 we let him tell the receptionist about his accidents.
Fortunately it was never reported to social services.
There are so many brave boy certificates for him.
Yet our daughter has never had any issues.

@outforawalkbiatch Punched myself in the face doing up my horses girth and gave myself a black eye
I have done that at least 3x ,
I have also given myself baling string burns on dozens of occasions.

But the worst horse related ( sort of ) one we grew and harvested our own hay snd straw I drove the tractor with a fully loaded trailer into the fecking river !
Need two other tractors to pull it out , it took hours to get it out

Ouch!! 😱😱😱

Think this thread has jinxed me! Just been down to sort my lad out. Bending down to check a scrape on his cannon bone with my head lamp, and lifted his knee directly into my nose because I wanted a clearer view.

Luckily it only bled a bit! (His leg is fine too!)

I remember being given a stapler when I was a child in the 1960s. I had never used one before and it fascinated me.

I wanted to see what it felt like, so I decided to staple my thumb. Fortunately it hurt so much that I stopped before I did too much damage!

I ran over my sister 🤷‍♀️

Accidentally or....?

My DC and DH call me "stunt Hopping" because I am very good at falling over. We were out last week and I stopped at the top of some stairs to tie my shoe laces, as they lost sight of me thay came running back up to see "what I had done now"
They didn't mind so much when I fell on ice in a carpark at an airport and got fast tracked through security OR when I fell over a step in Reception in a posh hotel and was given free drinks by The Manager (not deliberate I promise)

Night before last, in the throes of early migraine (with associated cognitive impairment), I went to the loo, sat down, and started weeing.

Would've been fine except I forgot to lift the lid first.

Oh God,
I was about 10 and walking my grandads huge bloody boxer cross terrier, he was boxer sized, in the local park, while wearing roller blades. My grandads last words to me that day was don't let him go.He ran, I held on for dear dear life. I came home sobbing with not a bit of skin left on my elbows, knees and shins, but I didn't let go.

Fell over our dog when I was pregnant, she got between my legs and sent me flying at 9 months pregnant

Fell down stairs one night in work, holding my dinner in a plastic bag, only person in the building apart from the security guard who hear me roaring, spag bol everywhere. The stairs had those metal edges to them, I was black n blue for months after, I should have sued lol, those stairs and the spag bol tried to kill me.I called my supervisor, left in an ambulance and as it was my last night, never went back, leaving someone else to clear up the mess the next morning.

Fell into a lift at work running for it one night, literally hit the floor face first

Refilled one of those gas lighters one evening, thankfully over the sink. I lit it, it blew back up into my face, taking all my nose hairs with it and leaving the skin on my nose crispy for a long time.

There are more, but these are the worst for now lol

I'm sure I'll think of more (im a klutz) but for now.
Leant back on one of those plastic office chairs with the wheel on the back for height adjustment. Went flying onto the wheel in the middle of my back as I hit the floor.

Rollerblading as a kid. Footpath did a bit of a sudden slope at the end. Broke my coccyx.

Tripped up the back step. Landed on the doorframe with my ribs and the doormat with my forehead. That was a painful Christmas.

Fell on a concrete block and cut my knee to the bone.

Fell on rebar which went in just above mye eye, and into the side of my knee, tearing my hamstring.

Did a handstand on a sloped drive. Landed on My jaw. Couldn't open for hours and have a lovely scar.

Burn myself regularly cooking.

Grabbed the food processor blade.

Stabbed myself Chopping a lot.

My baby toe knows where every corner in the house is.

There is definitely more.

Circulon pan by any chance?

I caught my fingernail un shooting the bolt to the back gate after unpadlocking it. This made me drop the padlock. I ended up with a bruise in my fingernail from the bolt and a bruised big toe from the impact of the falling padlock.

This is quite typical behaviour for me. I tend to think 'ooh mustn't do that' and then do exactly that.

Washing up, dropped the blade attachment from the food processor and automatically caught it with my other hand nearly severing a finger.

Watched the kettle boil on a little single burner camping stove, took said kettle off then proceeded to lift the stove by the metal things that the kettle sits on.

That smarted a bit 😬

Also managed to beach myself on a shallow coral reef in Indonesia once. Fire coral 🪸 is a slow burn. Do NOT drag your buttocks across it!

Wow, some of these are wild! I feel much better about my own klutzy way of being! It's starting to heal, so maybe it won't be so bad?

Just style it out and pretend you wanted it, brands are quite popular at tattooists, these days!

I fucked my back mowing the back garden. I know that doesn't sound that impressive, but I was in hospital a week, off work for 6 months, on a zimmer frame for much of that time, and still have mobility issues over a decade later.

I'm similar to some of you lot, a frequent visitor to A&E. When I was 12, I was there for the third time in a school term and the Nurse said, "Oh hi, you again? Do you want a season ticket?"

I was 5 and my dad had me "helping" him to dig the allotment, I rammed the fork right through my foot and pinned it to the ground, went, "Daaaaad!" and pointed at my foot. He put his foot on my toe and wrenched it out and said, "Stop being bloody stupid!" Got home, took my wellies off and he was angry, as one sock was wet - I said it was because the fork had gone right through ... he still thought I was messing, until I took my sock off.

14 years old, there was a group of us on wasteland, at dusk and I saw a football and kicked it as hard as I could. Well, didn't it turn out to be one of those concrete balls, which go on stone gateposts. That was a broken big toe.

The stupidest onw was when I was ten, my middle older sister came downstairs, eyes full of tears, but silent. I asked what was wrong and she beckoned me, I followed to her bedroom. She had a wall mounted angle poise lamp and said, "I put my finger in there." Despite being perfectly well aware of what electricity was, I did the same...

I've done the punching my own face while doing up a girth too. It's always entertaining for onlookers, especially if you end up grazing a knuckle on your teeth.😕

I often splash water onto my face to begin washing it while still wearing my reading glasses. Always gets a giggle 🙄

I used to love those sesame brittle snaps. Years ago they made them without ridges, so they were a real bugger to separate. I decided on one occasion to prise them apart with the blade of a craft knife, which suddenly slipped and sliced the end of my thumb almost completely off. It looked like a gaping pacman lolling there. I tipped it back into place and secured it with a tissue and some masking tape. Still have a white line running across my thumb. Put me right off sesame snaps.

I whacked myself in the chin opening the microwave door!

I forgot that a gangly 17.2hh hunter had much longer legs that a 14.2hh cob and so while leading him out didn't give him enough space. He stepped on my foot and slid off it, breaking a few bones in my foot. Poor guy was more shocked than me.

I sat on a pair of straighteners that seared themselves to my bare buttock. It took some force to rip them off, and now I’ve got a V shaped scar on my arse.

I knocked DS out carrying him through a doorway and hitting his head on the doorframe. I also drove over his foot once in the car. I damage others as often as myself.

Got up this morning and sat on the sofa. Realised I'd sat in cat sick, stood up, got the back of my slipper caught under my foot, went backwards over a foot-stool and ended up on my back in the middle of the lounge. I spread my cat's vomit far further than was necessary. 🤮
