What has been your dumbest injury?

[Lockdowner35]

I slipped on the ice and I injured my leg , that was fun today

So what has been your dumbest injury?

Kissed a freshly boiled kettle which I could see my reflection in when I was about 7. (Obviously loved myself abit too much as a child)

Silly one but was reaching for my hair straighteners from a high shelf (where bloody DH had put them).

The plug fell off the shelf and hit me square in the forehead leaving a lovely bruise!

i severed a finger and degloved another one on a metal fence.

i don’t drink and climb any more.

A minor injury, but hilarious: I stabbed myself in the finger with a clove while preparing mulled wine.

It really hurt!

Sliced my hand when drying up a knife by somehow running my palm down the sharpened edge of the knife. I was full of cold so wasn't paying attention.

Tore the ligament that holds the kneecap in place. Was on week 2 of couch to 5k. It was a dark and wet March evening,heard a pop told DH and asked him to run home and bring the car, he refused had to limp all the way home. Had a shower,took painkillers and went to bed. Woke up with a swollen purple knee. Had to manoeuvre kneecap in place every morning and tape it for 6 months. Never took up running again!!

Too many to count but most involve either being drunk and falling over or walking into doors/frames. My all time favourite was falling off the step that leads in to my block of flats after telling my then 6 year old to stop messing around or she would get hurt- I twisted my ankle badly and it was agony for weeks.
Also when I was 9 my mum shouted into the lounge from the kitchen to not go in as she was coming through with hot drinks... I obviously didn't listen and went full speed into her with 2 hot drinks straight down my front then a couple of weeks later I smashed my head off the bathroom sink knocking myself out- 2 trips to a&e and my poor mum was mortified as they clearly thought I was abused.

Slipped on some pebbles coming down a hill and landed on my dogs ball thrower stick, breaking two ribs. Gawd it hurt

Probably the most stupid was trying to duck under our climbing frame to pick up some toys. Seriously misjudged where the crossbar was and broke my nose, fell onto my back and just managed to roll on my side before I passing out and almost drowned in my own blood.

Too many more to mention, though haven’t done anything serious for quite a while (touch wood!)

Got a raw grain of rice, down my thumb nail, vertically! No idea how it happened but by jingo it was sore! 😩

Totally outing me but aged 34 I broke my elbow in 2 places while changing a lightbulb. So fucking painful.

Also swinging on my chair and went through a glass panel aged about 7 and cut my head open. Aged 9 I fell off a slide and knocked myself out and broke my wrist. As a student I broke my hand multiple times and fell down the stairs almost weekly.

I am very clumsy.

Was messing around in a (tiny baby sized) paddling pool trying to make the kids laugh, slipped over and broke my foot.

Oh which one.
There was the time I broke my toe my stubbing it on the radiator.
The time I managed to fall out of the back door throw my clean washing (that I was taking to hang out) all over the patio and bash my head on the steps.
I think my stupidest has to be when I burnt my back on the iron.
Bent down to pick something up knocked the ironing bored and the iron fell and hit me on the back then fell on the floor. I still have a slight scar.

Stabbed a sewing needle all the way into my hand - a&e for removal. Slam the car door on my thumb. Again a&e to get thumb nail lanced to release the build up of blood. Fell down the stairs (sober) broke my ankle. There are lots more.....

Out horse riding and a low hanging branch caught the top of my riding hat. I fell off backwards, broke my collar bone, cracked a couple of ribs, knocked myself out and had concussion. Came to with my sister poking me with a stick asking if I was dead.

I have:
Sliced my finger tip off whilst cutting butter with a sharp knife holding the butter in my hand

Opened my car door into my face and smashed my glasses

Put my finger in a paper bag the cat was playing with causing him to bite my finger drawing blood and requiring a visit to A & E for antibiotics.

another one is when i got my belly button pierced and it ended up digging a hole into my stomach and i had to go back to the piercers to get it properly taken out because it was too deep in to just pull it out and unscrew it.

it was pusy and bleeding constantly and i still have a dark purple scar.

Broke my toe in year 7 doing bunny hops on a bench. My mum told me to hop in the bath when I was about 8 so I did and nearly concussed myself. Don't have much luck with hopping!

heading back to a London hotel after a days working - failed to see and fell over the hotel disabled ramp breaking my wrist - I was wearing a suit with a flowing skirt which flicked over my head - hotel porter came running out to rescue the mostly amused passers by from being treated to a view of my knickers

Had a leaking roof, somehow I tripped over the plastic sheeting on the floor and kicked the bucket that was placed to catch the drips. Ended up badly dislocating and breaking my little toe. The triage nurse at A&E actually wrote on the form 'patient kicked bucket' prompting barely suppressed giggles from everyone involved afterwards.
