AIBU to ask about your weird injuries?

[Binkybix]

I was trying (and failing) to fly a kite today. I somehow managed to get one of the strings in my mouth as I looked back as I ran inelegantly trying to get the fecker up in the air. My gums are bruised and sore.

I once also threw myself on my sofa in a teenage strop and punctured my buttock with a sticking up wire coat hanger.

Anyone else? Amuse me. I bored.

I sprained my elbows in an exercise class. Couldn’t brush my hair or open my own front door for days.

I didn’t realise that was a thing!

I broke my wrist in a dramatic teenage strip. I threw myself onto the bed to make a point and landed awkwardly. It was so embarrassing to ask my dad, who I was still mad at, to take me to a & e.

I broke 4 toes on one foot when a marble rolling pin I was using rolled off the edge of the kitchen work surface.

I broke all the knuckles on one hand when I tripped in the garden (trying to avoid a worm on the path) and put my hand on the wall awkwardly to stop myself falling over.

Strop, not strip!!!

Separating frozen burgers the knife slipped and I stabbed my thumb, cut the tendon and needed surgery to fix it.

These put mine in the shade. Love the stroppy teenage strop!

I stuck a needle in my eye when I was 7.
Picking a freckle on my dolls face.
Unfortunatly I didnt realise the danger and pulled it out bursting my eye.
I lost the eye in my 20's.

Broke my toe after my very excited dog came running to greet me, skidded on the freshly mopped floor, and crashed into my foot!

I was inside a zipped up sleeping bag dancing around, couldn’t see a thing, and out of breath flopped down where the sofa was... except it wasn’t because I was dizzy and I cracked my head on the stone fireplace.

Ouch!

A lot of blood, they knotted my hair together to stop it bleeding!

Disclaimer: I was 20 at the time.

I was being silly drunk and fell off a child's scooter... broke 2 fingers

I have no idea where the 20 came from, I was Ten, TEN!

I was making a skirt for textiles class at school, and I sewed my finger to it with the sewing machine. I couldn't feel pain because it was such a shock and I thought it was hilarious pulling the bit of string through it! Makes me cringe now.

Worst one - stepped backwards off a one inch drop step in a nightclub, fell wrong and snapped my Achilles tendon, tore all the ligaments and was immobile for 6 weeks. Was completely sober so mortified at being ambulanced out!
Most recent - squishing the recycling bin down, lost my balance, pulled the bin on top of me, banged my head on the barbeque, bruised from ankle to groin.

I was fighting over a pen (in my defence it was my pen) and a cut my finger and had to get stitches. The clip bit of the pen was metal and had snapped off leaving a little sharp bit of metal sticking out.

I was a very accident prone child but the strangest one was playing handball at my nans in a room with an old wooden floor , I scraped my hand along the floor to get the ball and a huge splinter went under my nail and down as far as the second knuckle . Had to have a general anaesthetic to get it out and clean out all the crap .

birdlady! My goodness that sounds bad.

I’ve remembered another one of mine. As a child I was leapfrogging my brother’s cricket bat (handle end up), miscalculated and landed square on my lady area. It hurt like anything. Waved goodbye to my hymen that day.

Fully clothed on top of bed, hubby decided to roll over me to get to the other side of the bed and his knee must have collided with mine and he managed to dislocate my patella! Ouch!

Love the bin attacking you mrswarthog

I had a sore muscle in my calf a few months ago so decided to get an ice pack out of the freezer to put on it. It wasn't really a proper ice pack but one of those big hard plastic ones you'd put in a lunch bag to keep it cool. Took it out of the freezer and promptly dropped it on my foot, the corner of it bounced right off my 4th toe at the joint and left me crying in agony. Thankfully didn't break my toe, just a serious bruise!

Similar to a pp, separating frozen sausages and the knife went right through cutting my finger at the base. Eight stitches for that one.

Was sewing something and stuck the needle in my pants while I reached for more cotton, then did a huge sneeze and brought both hands down onto my thighs pushing the needle almost all the way in. Nanna had to pull it out with tweezers. That bruise was there for over a month.

Umm most embarrassing, I injured my knee by a random broken bed Spring digging into it. I told people I just happened to kneel on it when getting into bed.
Truth was I ran and dove onto my bed like I always did so whatever was hiding underneath couldn't get me in the dark..... i WAS 20!

Broke my big toe when a kitchen drawer front fell on it. Broke my leg when one of my cats ran under me as I was walking downstairs carrying the washing basket. Slipped a disc in my lower back unpacking a new pushchair and did it again a couple of months later while cleaning the toilet. Slipped while walking through town and dislocated my elbow. Reached out and grabbed an open tin of beans that I knocked off the worktop and the lid cut into my thumb and 3 fingers.

Tried to jump on my parents bed when I was 5. They hadn't made it very well and my dad had left a big nail sticking out the bottom.

I still have a great big scar on my foot from that escapade. Dad still winces when he sees it 33 years later....
