I once a threw a pen to my mate who was lying on the pen , he didn't catch it properly and it stabbed him and caused a cut on his hand.

Whats your AIBU ?

PanPanPanPing · 02/03/2018 21:29

What on earth are you talking about? How can you have thrown a pen to someone who was lying on it in the first place? Let alone someone being 'stabbed' by a pen?

Probably, but I've been the victim, too! I was accidentally headbutted whilst kissing. It damaged my sinuses and I still use a lovely spray to sort them out or I am permanently bunged up with headaches.

My makeup artist was helping me into my wedding dress when I accidentally elbowed her in the face. You could tell it really hurt her and I felt awful.

@DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops was it worth it

I closed the boot of my mpv on my mil. Really badly bruised her - she lovely - I was devistated

I think there a few people on AIBU who would love to close a boot on their MIL WinkGrin

I dislocated my dds elbow. She was about 18months old and I did a 1, 2, 3, weeeeee, holding her hands and it popped out. I now know she is hypermobile, but at the time I was absolutely distraught. The staff in a&e treated me like a child abuser too, it was horrific.

I once shut my mum's finger in a car door. 😮
I felt terrible - especially when I saw her nail go black.

AmbridgeGirl · 02/03/2018 21:56

Didn't look behind me when swinging a crazy golf club when I was about ten and hit some poor lad in the face. Poor kid. Still feel a bit bad about it now.

My dd2 is teeny (she has dwarfism so although she's 5, she's the size of an 18month old) I'm currently 33 weeks pregnant and rather large... I have spent the last 5 weeks walking into her as she likes to hide under my bump!!! She is also incredibly light footed, which neither of my other two are... which means I don't know when she's snuck up on me!!!

I have accidentally punched myself in the face... 😣

I've tripped over my dog more times than I can remember.

My mum once opened a cupboard into my face, she knocked me clean out for 20 seconds, I have been banned from her kitchen 😂

HemlockStarglimmer · 02/03/2018 23:36

Stabbed my sister in the bum.

Punched myself in the face more than once.

Shut a colleague's thumb in a drawer.

I'm not safe to be around!

HemlockStarglimmer · 02/03/2018 23:37

Just remembered I tried to shut a car door on the same sister's head.

I really am a liability.

frankie001 · 02/03/2018 23:52

Threw a basketball at my sister to catch and it broke her finger.

weebarra · 02/03/2018 23:58

I caught DD's foot on a ring I was wearing as I was trying to get her into bed while le she was tantruming. There was quite a lot of blood.

newmumintown · 03/03/2018 00:01

First ever game of darts in a pub...stabbed a guy in the leg. It actually stuck in and was dangling out while we all gaped in disbelief. He took it quite well.

WattdeEll · 03/03/2018 00:04

Punched a jogger who ran up behind me in the dark, heavy breathing and I could hear him accelerating as he got closer to me. Scared me so I braced myself and swung a punch. Blush shocked both of us. He was ok, very apologetic as was I.

TroubledTribble28 · 03/03/2018 00:05

I cut my husband (then fiance) shaving him. I wanted a go as id never done it before. He says it was nothing but I felt so bad I cried like a loon and we still joke about it now. I've had a dart launched into my back when I was 3, my best pal jumped on my bed during a sleepover and id broken my wrist that day, same best pal accidentally punched me in the head and I was stuck in bed for 48 hours with a stonker of a headache.

TroubledTribble28 · 03/03/2018 00:06

Newmum he took it well?!? Grin

TheOriginalEmu · 03/03/2018 00:07

At school i once tripped walking down the stairs from one playground to another, i instinctively reached out to grab something to stop myself falling and grabbed a handful of my friends hair. this was more than 20 years ago and I still wince and feel bad when i remember it. She doesn't even remember it, and I still feel awful!
I quite recently accidentally stabbed my son in the foot with some scissors. I was talking to him sitting on my bed as we often do, i had them in my hand and was sort of gesticulating and at the same time, he moved his foot and it stabbed him in the sole of his foot. Poor kid!

@mineofuselessinformation

I shut a car door when I was 9, found it didn’t shut properly so tried again...then heard the little gasp from my friend whose hand was trapped in the door... felt so horrible :(

Like AmbridgeGirl, I cracked my dad in the forehead with my club at crazy golf while on holiday. He still has the scar 40 years later, to add the scar on his shin from when he ran into a wheelbarrow in his teens, fleeing from a monkey that was chasing him (his family were living in SA at the time). And the chipped front tooth when a fellow worker threw a plate at him during an argument in the canteen. My poor dad. Grin

LondonLassInTheCountry · 03/03/2018 00:12

My sister shut the car boot down on my shoulder, we were rushing to the hospital, she was panicking and in a rush, so it come down hard, knocked me backwards
