Stupidest Ways you have been injured?

hbk4894

remember hearing a story about a footballer who dropped a can of links on his foot and ruled him out for several weeks so just wondering what are the strangest/funniest ways you have been injured

for me it has to be either getting stabbed with a pencil in high school causing a blood stain to my shirt or when i rtried to walk under a big road sign and i hit my head and caused a cut to my head.

Fell off my high heels and twisted my ankle... And I've also slipped on a discarded kebab and hurt my foot. I trapped my arm in the door at my student halls and ended up with it in a sling... I fell upstairs on a bus and bruised my collarbone....Stupid injuries are my forte 😂

Banging my head against a wall in frustration at threads that get started then instantly abandoned by the OP.

Two incidents that happened at school -

I sat down on the side of some steps, not noticing the metal railing above, stood up and smacked my head on the railing. Had the most enormous egg on my head for weeks.

Couple of years later in the school toilets a girl decided it would be fun to slam open the door with her foot. It went right into my forehead. Had another giant egg and an impressive bruise.

If either of them things happened in schools now I reckon you'd be carted off to hospital because of the problems you can have with a "head injury"; they'd fear being sued. I didn't even get to sit in the medical room

I'm convinced one of those two incidents is responsible for my crummy brain function. Probably had a fracture ... or maybe I've watched one too many hospital dramas ....

When I was a child I picked up my toy box and dropped it on my foot, never had a toenail on that big toe ever again. I think the nail bed got damaged.

Fell off my bike in a rutted field messing about and sprained my hand.

Bucked off a horse in canter, flew over its head and landed on my shoulder, sprained shoulder, hurt for ages! Although I think my pride was actually the worst hurt.

Most recent I got out of the bath, went in bedroom to dry my hair and next thing I was waking up on my bedroom floor (laminate) with blood everywhere and a split lip. Bottom teeth through top lip. I'd gone and fainted off my bed :o:o my poor gran had to pick me up off the floor, dry my hair, dress me etc as I was in no fit state to do anything. Mortifying at 25 years old. :rotfl:

Ohh and I got bit by a horse the other week, I was holding him for someone and the git managed to get his gob around my arm, ended up with an impressive bruise, it's on,y just fading. Grrrr.

Sprained my ankle whilst snorkelling!

Too many to mention! Currently nursing a concussion from a solid oak dining chair falling off the table onto my head (I had stacked the chairs up to clean under the table, bent down for a stray Sweetcorn kernel and bang!).

Breaking my thumb through the nail bed by closing it in the car boot, I did the closing too.

Running my hand up a brand new sabatier to clean off some Philly cheese from a sandwich I was cutting. Didn't realise till I saw the blood how I had cut myself, the knife was that sharp there was no pain really.

Frying part of my hand when I unthinkingly reached into a fat fryer to dislodge food, yeah like the fat wasn't going to be hot...

The bigger injuries are always the stupidest ones!

Mine has got to be tearing my rotator cuff while drying my hair after the shower. I don't to this day know how I managed it.

Shutting my own arm in a door, I just left it behind for some reason!

Putting a staple through my finger (not sure how I managed that!)

The first time I had a go at driving a car (on a private farm road). My Dad pulled the car over next to a pile of bales and we switched seats. He told me to lift the clutch.... unfortunately he'd left the steering wheel one full turn towards the bales so it looked like it was straight. We went straight into them with some force, sprained wrist and bruised forehead for some time after!

I probably have more, I am rather accident prone, fortunately it's usually not serious.
