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

Dusting the living room last week I tripped over something. Twisted as I fell forward hitting my head on the door which shut with a massive bang and whacked my forearm on a speaker.

My husband was on a conference call in the same room and had to stop what he was doing to see if I was alright Blush

My arm hurt so badly that I only noticed the bump on my head the next day. Head is now fine but the arm is going through some lovely colour changes.

Just found this thread - hilarious stuff!
As a 15yr old in my 1st job in the 70's, I was told to stick postage stamps on the outgoing post. I'm those days you had to lick the stamps. I was in a rush so licked a strip ofstamps and didn't realise until too late that the last one was stuck to my lip and the blighter would come off. So I ended up going round the office doing a final check to see if there was any last minute post - so embarassing. A bit later the top boss sent me on an errand to get some food for his lunch. So I had to walk up the busy High Street with the stamp still stuck to my bottom lip. I wouldn't have minded so much had it been 1st class but it was a 2nd class stamp lol. Took best part of the afternoon to prize it off and I had a sore skinned lip for days.

Just had a flashback from over 40 years ago.....

I fancied a few drags of one of mum's Benson and Hedges cigs so I helped myself to a dog end from the ash tray.

Early one Sunday morning, I sneaked downstairs with my precious dog end. My cunning plan was to tip toe across the kitchen, light the fag with mum's lighter, and nip outside to sample the nicotine. Unbeknown to me, Sam - our manic black Labrador - had pissed all over the lino, which just happened to be tinged with a mustardy pattern, helpfully camouflaging the immense pool beneath my naked feet.

As I excitedly tip toed towards the lighter, my pace increased as I reached the cold, yellow piss. Too late to stop.... I almost split myself in two.... as my legs parted ways and I seemed to shoot across the Lino at full speed before landing with a loud splash, on my back..... as the piss soaked into my hair and my lovely new white satin nightie.

I recall being winded so badly that I was on the floor for an eternity..... Sam licked his own piss off my face, before chewing the remnants of the Benson and Hedges fag that was never to touch my lips. Classy!!

Thanks pud.
I had no idea either.
They asked at least a million times "any recent injury? "
Ni, cant think of anything...
Got home, went to put pjs on and settle in bed. Thought... ooh, I had a dead leg the other day when I wore these.
