To ask what’s the most ridiculous injury you’ve given yourself?

[Fallinleaves]

I’ll start… 3 days ago I took a chunk out of my thumb whilst putting my socks on because I had a really rough toenail I hadn’t noticed. It’s like a paper cut but worse! Still hurts, still stings with everything that touches it 3 days on 😭. Please make me feel better….

Not an injury but while holding scissors noticed a spot (the same arm I was holding the scissors) and while investigating/trying to pop it I managed to cut a huge chunk of hair at the front of and left myself with a chunk of hair about an inch long that stood up like a peacock 🦚

Broke my nose walking into unopened patio doors. I bounced off them and ended up flat on my back on the settee.

Mothers fault for keeping them so clean.

I’ve done that too

Broke my toe on a piece of mdf with a jigsaw on. We have a beige carpet.
Tripped on a kerb and broke my wrist.
Walked into a lamppost and broke my tooth.

Well, there was that time when we had a real fire and I pulled the little drawer thing out to help the 'draw' on the fire...with my bare hand. God knows why, I usually used the tongs. Lovely burn blisters on my fingers that took ages to heal.

Ouch! Sometimes wearing glasses has its perks!

I did that in December with my parents' front door. I have mobility problems and was trying to steady myself while going out the door. No treatment needed but I ended up with a big dent and the damaged nail part turned brown with the old blood trapped underneath. Then the dead nail lifted off as the new nail grew beneath. It's almost back to normal now.

Our next door neighbours had recently emigrated to Australia. The house was still empty at this time. One day a car pulled up and three suits emerged and knocked the door. I was returning home myself at this point, having a not very discreet nosey. Not looking where I was going I fell flat on my face on the pavement outside our drive. Oh, the shame. 😳 The suits expressed concern and I could only express regret that I couldn't help them with their enquiries regarding our former neighbours (I wouldn't have, anyway, not my business).

Omg - I did this! I was really scrubbing hard and my little finger nail was soooo sharp! Pain for days! And ridiculous explaining it to others

Tried to hang a wind chime from the ceiling in my lounge. Fell off the chair and my head hit the window sill - had a concussion.
Removing a raw plug out of a wall pulled really hard and it suddenly came free. My hand and the wrench hit my lip - two stitches required.
Dropped a picture and the glass broke. A piece of glass bounced off the floor and scratched my eye. Who knew eyes bled. A trip to A&E to make sure no serious damage.

All this happened over a period of time 7 days. Good job my flat was only a 6 minute walk from A&E.

"Who knew eyes bled"

Any part of us without a blood supply would be a bit fucked! 😉 😅

Did the A+E staff ban you from DIY after trip number 3?

fell out of bed broke three toes
in the 70s mum had nylon sheets those brushed things caught by big toe nail in a bright orange one and ripped off my big toe nail
was moving a fridge and ripped off the same big toe nail few years later
hand sliced open on a corned beef tin when i was making sandwiches those keys are lethal
sliced hand open on a foil cheesecake dish trying to unwrap it
cleaning sink one day grabbed a disposable razor cut my hand wide open

@ScaryM0nster , I also broke my little toe by catching on the skirting board, I was having a midnight wee, with nothing in my feet and no lights on. I also broke my thumb trying to remove some ice from an ice tray.

Oops wrong thread

😂 😂
I was mortified too , it was a Main Street 🙈
You feel then that every single person has come to a stop to look at you 😂

My partner walked downstairs holding the baby. Stepped in fresh cat sick with socks on. Hopped off to put the baby down, took socks off, cut himself during on his own toenail

I'm adding socks, toenails and being undressed in any way to the banned list.

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read. I’m laughing my head off but in sympathy! I’m one of the clumsiest people you’ll ever meet but don’t want to post here because I’ll give myself away immediately 🤣

One that makes me laugh every time was when I decided to paint my downstairs toilet while my husband was on night shift and I’d had a few wines. I didn’t want to stand on the toilet lid in case I broke it so stood on the seat which slid sideways as I was moving around. My foot shot straight down the toilet and got jammed in the u-bend. Luckily I didn’t fall backwards, I don’t think I’d have been able to get up off the floor. I got away with it being very swollen and black and blue for a couple of weeks 🤣

I was blending some strawberries and paused to wipe the blade with my finger. Unfortunately my other hand decided to push the ‘on’ button at that moment and my finger got blended. God, it was painful!

Ended up in A&E having my fingertip stitched back together. It’s still a bit numb several years later 😮

Suffice to say those blended strawberries never did get eaten…

Jesus some of these accidents are akin to the Final Destination films.

not one usually to do gardening one time when I did stood on a rake which went straight through my foot that was so painful not sure if as bad as being hit in face by one but not the best thing to do!

I was 6 and my dad draughted us as slave labour got me and older sister to help on his allotment, one freezing day. The earth was hard and I was bashing away with a fork, when I rammed it through my welly, foot and into the ground.

I squealed for help, he told me to stop mucking about and wrenched the fork out. It didn't hurt much.

At home, he gave me Hell for having a wet foot. That was because the welly had two holes in it.

I took my sock off and showed him the two holes in my foot, no sympathy!

Burnt my knee with the iron. I was too lazy to get the ironing board out so was ironing on a towel on the floor.

On holiday abroad many years ago. Mum asked me if I wanted a sweet. When I said yes, she said 'catch' whilst throwing the sweet across the room to me.
Said sweet hit me straight between the eyes.
Next day I had a black eye.
I took great delight in telling people my Mum had given me a black eye....
She was mortified.
