Stub your toe. Stubbed little toe earlier on the table leg. Of course no shoes or slippers on to cushion the blow. Air very quickly turned blue Blush followed by toe turning a lovely shade of bluey/purple. Nice 9 hour shift later and it is bloody agony.

I see your stubbed toe.
I raise you...stepping on upturned plug..with no socks

I see the plug and the stubbed toe, and raise you a clear triangle bit of lego on a tiled floor in the dark, my then 4 year old told me off for waking him up and swearing lol

My husband has a splinter under his finger nail and he’s upstairs writing his obituary.

I'll take gallstone attack in active labour for 500 Dave!

Nothing... nothing... will ever be worse. I'd rather chew my own arm off than ever do that again.

Having treatment for an ingrown toenail ! And stepping on a piece of Lego .

Banging the top of your head on the corner of an open cupboard door.

HappyStripper · 08/01/2019 23:45

Getting the bit between your thumb and pointer finger pinched by anything at all or bitten by your cat...

LegArmpits · 08/01/2019 23:46

Dropping the boot of your car on your head.

ReaganSomerset · 08/01/2019 23:48

Catching a bit of skin in a zip.

MrsFamily · 08/01/2019 23:48

Having your upper lip threaded.

Done once, never again.

Although stubbing toes does hurt!

TyneTeas · 08/01/2019 23:48

Opening a door across your toe

HarrietSchulenberg · 08/01/2019 23:49

Lifting your head at the wriong moment while walking under a low stone bridge. It left a scar.

PickAChew · 08/01/2019 23:49

It's official that a plug made of lego is the most painful thing to stand on.

To think this is one of the most painful things you can do.

Two words: Bulldog clip. Lip.

WorriedinWorcester · 08/01/2019 23:49

Ha, that’s three. THAT’S HOW PAINFUL IT IS!

Grandadwasthatyou · 08/01/2019 23:52

Forgetting to keep your head down when reaching for something in the cupboard under the stairs.

Pushing a drawing pin with full force into the wall only for the head to come off and the remaining part of the pin to go deep into your thumb.

Bending down to pick something up off the floor just as somebody flings the door open from the other side.

And lastly realising that the oven gloves are too thin just as you take a tray of roast potatoes out of the oven.

Planter fasciitis!!

Zofloraqueen27 · 08/01/2019 23:54

Abdominoplasty wins.

sweeneytoddsrazor · 08/01/2019 23:54

@PickaChew what sort of twisted evil mind came up with that instrument of torture.
Ok there are some pretty painful injuries on here and I have just remembered another -fingers in the car door.

Somebody will pop along with a kidney stone...Me? Denial works for me. Never happens...

Calvinsmam · 09/01/2019 00:02

Eating something crunchy and mistiming it and biting the inside of your mouth.

Being a greedy buggar and biting into a pizza that’s just come out of the oven and taking the skin off the roof of your mouth.

Cold sores up your nose.

Ifionlyknewthenwhatiknownow3 · 09/01/2019 00:05

Corneal abrasion ( twice) gardening. Bending over weeding, not paying full attention and poked in eye by sharp branch. Ouch, ouch, fuckity ouch. Happened four and five years ago, have injured both eyes, still have occasional pain in a dry atmosphere. ALWAYS wear safety goggles in the garden now. Be xareful

easyandy101 · 09/01/2019 00:07

Barefoot, walked over the bed and jumped off the other side onto an upturned plug

Surprised I didn't die

thecatneuterer · 09/01/2019 00:07

I had the toenail on my big toe kicked off by my dance partner, so it was just hanging on by one corner and the dance floor was covered in blood.

thecatneuterer · 09/01/2019 00:08

Another dance partner broke my nose, but that wasn't nearly so painful.
