I have just trapped a nipple between two plastic laundry baskets and almost severed it. Unbelievably painful, unbelievably embarrassing to tell anyone about in RL!!

Make me feel better by telling me your humiliating mishaps? Happy to bask in the warmth of other's distress Grin

Ouch!

Not me but DD2. She got a potty stuck on her head Hmm Luckily I managed to get it off, but only just. I was having nightmare visions of us sat in A&E with a potty stuck on her head.

I was naked. It was midnight. I had an accident and need paramedics, and I was all too conscious Blush

I was laying in bed, naked as the day I was born, semi awake... realised I felt a bit chilly as the cover had slipped down, so grabbed a handful of 'cover' and pulled hard.

Only I had actually grabbed a handful of boob by the nipple instead.

The pain woke me up properly and hurt so much that I couldn't go back to sleep. My boob hurt for days!

Got a black eye after a 4 year old Iworked with asked me to pretend to be a burglar. He hit me over the head with a plastic torch - all in good fun. Was quite difficult to explain to staff at my other job.

I thought it would be funny to go down the stair on dds plastic rocking horse....... it wasn't I thought I had broken my fanjo bone and had plastic friction burns down there that result in some funny walking, sitting and getting up manoeuvres, the shame dds were all watching at the time Blush

Ouch, Pivot!!

I scarred my lip with a flying saucer.
Nope, not a UFO, but a sherbetty sweet.
20+ years that scar has been there, right in the middle of my lip.

Its fair... everyone at work laughed too. I kept knocking it and wincing so I had to fess up.

I quite like it sounds posh!

Lestagal78 · 28/08/2013 22:23

I bent my little finger back tormenting ds with a toy banana.

happygirl87 · 28/08/2013 22:23

Pivot I love your name- Ross Geller?! I have also done that- it stings so much!

Not me but nipple related, my uncle had a nipple piercing, was an independent builder, working with his shirt off. There was a protruding nail...

Littlefish · 28/08/2013 22:26

I am extremely well endowed in the nork region.

DH once pinned me to the bed by pushing himself up to a sitting position using his elbow on the bed. Unfortunately, my nipple was between his elbow and the mattress as my breasts were lying beside me on the bed (I was lying on my side). Unbelievably excruciating pain which stayed for hours. It was so painful that I couldn't shout at him and tell him what he'd done, so I just lay there, unable to move!

makemineamalibuandpineapple · 28/08/2013 22:29

I have told this story on MN before. My son once got trapped in a bus stop bench. It was one where it has two or three horizontal poles that make up the bench a few inches apart IYSWIM. He was standing on it (bad parent I know). Anyway, he slipped and the force of the fall pushed his leg through and we couldn't get it out. We tried pushing/pulling/taking shoe off etc. in the end I had to call the fire brigade who dismantled the bench to free him Blush

BadgersNadgers · 28/08/2013 22:32

I did a karate chop on a Lego tower whilst having a tantrum. I ended up in A&E because I thought I'd broken my hand and I had to explain to the very unimpressed nurse what I'd done. DH was laughing like Mutley.

uggmum · 28/08/2013 22:33

I burnt my entire chin with a pizza! The cheese slid off whilst I was eating a slice and it stuck to my chin.

It was very painful and I looked awful. It was red and scabby for 2weeks.

missrlr · 28/08/2013 22:33

Went riding in The Wrong Bra and a shirt with embroidery across nipple type area. Bra broke completely at the furthest possible point from home and result was red raw nipples from embroidery on the ride back .....
It took weeks to resolve

Always wear the Right Bra when riding ......

Littlefish I am so identifying with 'my breasts were lying next to me on the bed' Grin

Caught penis in the zip of my jeans during a commando phase. Pain came quickly. Also, the thought of how to stop the pain. Bits of me were physically meshed with the zip. Undo slowly and suffer? Undo quickly and risk an incident that could decide my future? Pain increasing fast. Snip the red wire or the green wire (and hope my own wire doesn't get snipped)?

I chose green. Slow. It got worse before it got better but then myself and my apparel achieved twoness. I stopped entertaining commando ambitions that very day.

Although I still zip up very slowly.

cafecito · 28/08/2013 22:44

I cannot stop larfing

Grin especially at pizza chin

MajesticWhine · 28/08/2013 22:44

reminds me of the film "There's something about Mary" - you really need to see that Oinkling
