What's the weirdest or dumbest way you've ever been injured?

I once broke a small bone in my nose from running into a screen door at the age of 12. I was super embarrassed.

@vbabe96 I’m sorry. I gave myself a black eye running into the thin part of a door at 16.

I almost severed a finger with the bolt of an M2 machine gun. I was so intent on giving the lecture that I failed to remove my finger before releasing the bolt.

Wow, mine is a first for, last night, I was spinning around my room with my arms out like wings of a plane, and then I wasn’t paying attention and hit the corner of the wall. Then there was a popping sound. So I broke my arm by being a dork.

My husband broke a tooth trying to bite open a banana.

Hehehe, one of the ribs of an old and broken umbrella went through my hand. Idiotic old me was trying to open the hopeless parasol and as I was getting angry at not being able to open it, the rib went through the hand. The blood that came out was something else! At the emergency room ( it was a busy day), doctors saw me tearing in crying and yelling, “I’ve severed my hand!” One of them asks, raising his voice to be heard, “Were you in a car crash?” Sobbing away I answered, “Umbrella accident!” He looked at his colleague and asked him if he thought I had a head injury!!!!!!!

OH Ive got one for that matter, make that two. Just the other day my boyfriend was running around teasing me and it lead to opening a personal drawer. He thought that the drawer had a stopper on it, and it did not. He DROPPED a 25 pound drawer on my toe!!!!!!!! owwwwwwwwww! Blood was all over my floor, it was pretty terrible, so now Im left with a black toenail. D:
My other story was that I was in a Hard Rock hotel pool in Mississippi, and I was in the shallow end. The pool has a slope that is sort of like a beach is, very very shallow, and then extremely deep. I was sitting on the “beach” part of it and decided I should dive going down the slope. NOPE. instead I managed to smack my head right on the slope ending up with a stupid scrape inbetween my eyes. Yeah it was stupid, I know.

I got in a fight with a Mercury Sable. I punched out the radio/dashboard. I was going to hit my friend, who was really pissing me off, but instead I hit my car. Got what is called a boxer’s fracture, and it hurts like hell as I type this.

Chipped a tooth on a pillow???—You must like them firm—XD
I almost knocked myself out by jumping from the top step of the basement stairs and conking my forehead on the overhang! The funny part was,is that I was whistling as I did this and once I hit the overhang the whistle kind of trailed off and faded away…...... ;)

Dislocated a hip playing golf, tore a rotator cuff during sex, fell and hit my head on a tv the morning of the first space shuttle launch(8 stitches), and broke my collar bone getting the mail. So I guess I can’t top the chipped tooth on the pillow.

I tripped on a twig and shattered my ankle, tore a tendon and dislocated and splintered my achilles heel.
I decided that day (the age of 10) that playing sports was not a good decision for me. I was in a cast (actually, several different ones) for a year. It was terrible.

My husband was skipping through the house (for some reason) and on an up-skip hit his head on the top of a doorway. He fell like a sack of potatoes- knocked himself out cold.
We are a graceful couple, as you can tell.

Let’s just say that the incident involved tequila… and a set of stairs. It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s that sudden stop at the end.

@lucillelucillelucille I did the SAME THING going down our basement steps when I was in high school. I wasn’t whistling though. I remember lying flat on my back at the bottom of the stairs thinking “WTF??” and then “Hope I’m not paralyzed….” There was a dent in the ceiling that my forehead would have fit into perfectly.

A couple of years ago, I was running up the front steps and tripped, hit my forehead on the bricks by the front door. Not hard enough to really injure myself, but I felt like an idiot.

Another time, in middle school, I was sitting on a wood bench at the school’s playground. I slid over to make room for a friend, and a huge splinter went right through my jeans and into the back of my thigh. The school nurse couldn’t get it out, so my mom had to take me to the doctor to remove it.

I also ruptured a disk in my back while playing on the slide with my daughter, and recently bruised myself up by crashing into a tree while sledding. Good times, good times.

I hurt my wrist a few years ago when I tripped over my dog. Running really does help when you’re looking where you’re going :¬(

Just two days ago, my left foot fell completely asleep. I got up to walk it off, but I had little control of said foot. While I was walking, if you can call it that, my foot sort of got caught underneath me and dragged. Because the foot was asleep, I had no feeling in it, and therefore had no clue that my foot was not in normal foot position. I continued to take a step, thus stepping on, well, nothing, tripping over myself and spraining my ankle in the process. So I managed to injure myself because of a numb foot.

Dad pushed me on a ropeswing on my sixth birthday. He’s a pyscho for real, so when he pushed me, he did it out of anger, and I lost my grip. Broke my arm. He acted like he felt guilty, but that didn’t change a thing, he still does shit like that.

Broke my arm after falling out of a tree.

Chainsawing off a limb that I was sitting on.

A splash of hot melted butter landed on the back of my hand. burned a scare the size of to quarters. Stupidly i didn’t put ice on until half hour later.

my shoe was not tied tight enough and combined with other factors including alcohol, i snapped a bone in my foot in half after stepping off a curb on my 21st birthday. luckily i did not know til the next day. didn’t think it was broken because it didn’t hurt that bad and two weeks later when i went to the doctor i found out not only was it broken, but it was a long break and it was displaced. needless to say surgery followed soon after and now i cannot enjoy summer. i want to punch myself in the face every time i think about it. WHY DIDNT I JUST TIE MY SHOES THE RIGHT WAY?????

I also nearly severed a toe on a stop sign one night after getting up to go to the bathroom in our fraternity house at college.

Resting my arm on a toaster-oven in use. (It sat on the counter of a pass-thru between the breakfast nook and kitchen.) It hurt like the dickens…wrist to elbow burn. After dinner, I took the corner too sharply when clearing dishes and scraped the whole blister open on the sharp edge of the paneled wall. That was excruciating. It must not have been too bad though, as there was no permanent scarring, just a bright red discoloration that lasted about 10–15 years before it finally faded.

I heard something under my bed ( my cat ) i had a lamp on the floor. My arm touched it as i leaned over the bed. It burned me and left a scar.

@MissAusten -At least you were in high school…this happened to me last year! XD
—I’m glad you’re ok—:)

I fell out of bed and broke my nose on a wastebasket when I was drunk [long looooong time ago]
