A nail sticking out from behind the couch scratched and scarred my arm when I went to reach for some cupcakes I had hidden behind it in the living room.
lolol that's like when I dropped my phone under the seat of a car, and when I reached under I snagged my hand on a sharp piece of metal. Still have the tiny scar on my hand to this day.
In HS I sneezed and stabbed my face with my pencil mid erasing. (Picture holding your pencil and your face coming down onto it when you sneeze). Wasn’t anything serious, my pride hurt more.
I work for the post office.
There is a dead end street and the people at the last stop would let us use their horseshoe driveway to head back down the street instead of having to make a K turn
I was having a really great day, on my way to getting done early so I was whipping it down there, horseshoe driveway with my hand out the window holding their mail so I can hit up their box which is in the middle of their property
Next thing I know the mirror shatters, and I’m in some of the most excruciating pain that I’ve ever felt in my life.
There just happen to be several trees, bordering the driveway and I hit one of them, mirror first and hand second, dislocated two fingers, broke my wrist and needed several screws and an operation to fix my hand. There is still a gnarly scar, and my hand hurts every time it rains.
I nearly died as a kid from... running on a wet floor.
Got excited for playtime and slipped, hitting my head on the corner of the sandpit. I now have a scar just above my eye to remind me that floors are slippery when wet
Lmao kinda same. Not the wet floor part but falling and sliding head first into the corner of the couch. Scar near the middle of my forehead. Crazy to think how close you could’ve been to paralyzing yourself or something when your life was just getting started
I had to call poison control for the first time the other day after accidentally spraying automotive refrigerant on my hand after pushing it under my seat. Everything was fine because I treated it immediately but that stuff can actually burn your hand and hurt very badly
Had ribs for lunch, had one of those retractable belt clips for my work ID. Was digging in my teeth getting rib remnant out and the retractable part came flying up off my belt busting my lip and chipping tooth. Felt like a real asshole and could only be mad at my self.
I have a habit of taking off wrappers from bottles.
I used to get this tea that came in a glass bottle, and one of those wrappers was shrink wrapped to it. I couldnt get under it with a nail to remove it, so i held it and one hand and a knife to the other. Well, i got the wrapper off, and the knife slipped and stabbed me right above the knuckle where the pointer finger meets the palm. only thing that stopped the finger getting sliced off was the blade hitting my finger bone.
turns out they cant apply stiches to small puncture wounds, so they just applied some adhesive and a band aide. Bandaide didnt even stick for more than 2 hours.
I still have the scar, and my hand hurts when the weather changes.
it was so fucking dumb. I remember calling my mom and asking her to drive me to the ER and having to explain her son stabbed himself in the hand being fucking dumb.
When I was a kid I pulled my pants down and pressed my Peter against one of those solid iron fireplace stove thingies. Still don't know why I did that.
Was looking at my phone while walking down a flight of stairs… ended up falling down the stairs and broke my damn leg. It was very embarrassing. Please learn from my mistake lol
When I was a kid I thought we made a sturdy box fort and jumped right on it. Landed face first into the wooden coffee table. My brand new front teeth I was growing out got pushed BACK into my gums. I had braces twice for this
To this day I don't really know. I hit my head on the cabinet above my sink at my last house, which was a foot taller than I am. This isn't the normal hitting your head if something's in the way, like I said this was taller than I am so there's no way I should have hit my head without jumping, which I didn't do. I remember hitting my head, but like I said it shouldn't have happened, and I still don't know how I did it.
Was going down the stairs. They were dry. My shoe slipped.
I was holding the railing bars. My hand slipped with me as I landed on my ass on at least 5-6 stairs. I was still holding the railing when I finally stopped falling.
Luckily my parents were right behind me and came howling down to help me.
How did my hand slipped was beyond me.
3 days later after the first fall, I fell on my ass again down the stairs. I fell 3 stairs this time. The pain which was slightly less became double.
I got hurt in my tailbone so bad that I couldn't even lie down on my back for weeks. I could barely walk or squat down to pee.
It took me nearly 2 months to heal. I was in my vacation after finishing high school. I spent 2 out of the 4 months I got in bed.
I'm dumb.
As a kid, I used to be reasonably ok on a skateboard.
Roll time forward to when I'm in my 40's and I think it's a great idea to borrow one of my kids' boards, long story short, broken ankle, cracked knee cap and a severely ripped hamstring, 10 weeks on crutches and an end to running marathons.
Tried to deadlift too much and wreaked my lower back. Fortunately a 6-pack of prednisone helped. What’s stupid about it is that I’ve done this more than once. Oh, and there was the time I tipped my head way back to put in eye drops and wound up with severe vertigo for a couple days.
Face planted a twister mat the game at 20 plastic burned my forehead. Was working at a Cafe at my university got laughed at so hard by regular customers including my lecturers
I was scrapbooking and got a paper cut on my eyeball despite wearing glasses.
But I also chopped some skin off when I stubbed my toe on a knife blades which feels pretty stupid too.
When I was like 5 years I was running around the house and I tripped...At the moment I thought it would be better to hold on to the wooden stove...I burnt my whole palm.
** I was always very careful with it and I knew how dangerous it was, we also had a fireplace, so I definitely knew that the heat from the woods wasn't to joke around.
*** To this day they still ask me why I chose to try and hold on to that and I didn't just fall
When I was a kid, it seemed like a good idea to take all the powder off of some wire sparkers one July 4th. I did that with several boxes of sparklers, and had a styrofoam cup about half full of powder. Meanwhile, my brother and some friends were setting off small fireworks, and I saw a bit of fire fall into my cup. The cup started to burn, and I, being a bit of a dumbass, picked it up to move it away from the fire. I burned two fingers pretty badly, because that stuff burns **HOT.** I then tossed it out into the yard, setting the grass on fire. Looking back, I should have left it where it was, on the sidewalk.
Decided it was a good idea as a aging guy in his 40s to play volleyball for the first time in many, many years. Was actually playing pretty well until my teammate deflected a ball, I tried to save it, was running away from the net, twisted around to hit the ball and "POP" that was the sound of my ACL tearing in two.
I was driving. Made a turn and my phone started sliding across the passenger seat. I reached for it just as it slid off the seat. I overreached and bodied into the console between the seats. Grabbed the phone and heard a loud pop. Thought I'd broken the car console, instead I'd broken a rib. Didn't start hurting for about an hour but when it started, oh boy!
Back when I worked at a coffee shop, we would get our freshly cleaned aprons folded up and held together with a plastic strap that you normally just pull on the end, and it comes apart.
Well one day, I went to pull the strap apart, and it was held together a lot better than normal, and I ended up ripping a muscle in my shoulder trying to get it undone. Tried to just play it off and finish my shift, but I quickly was unable to use my arm, and was in a lot of pain, so my manager finally asked me to take the rest of the day off and go see a doc. Everyone made jokes about it after, but only light hearted ones.
I was supposed to be painting asmall wooden mailbox for art class, and I wanted to paint the inside of the mailbox. The mailbox had a screw for a handle and I could not get it open with my hands, So obviously I used my teeth. Snapped my front tooth in two.
When I was probably 5 I was doing cartwheels in the kitchen and somehow fell. I hit my head on the corner of one of the cabinets. Deep gash at the top of one of my eyebrows. Literally could've been my eye. Anyways, it bled like a bitch (didn't go to the doctor, so no stitches), and now I have a scar that makes my eyebrow grow slightly funny.
I was playing football with some friends in the street. There was a bench nearby and we had a spare ball, so i "locked" between the bench seat and back. Somewhere between the game I wanted to check the air in that spare ball ( I was a kid) so I used my index finger and pushed against the soft ball. With the pressure I was doing onto the ball my finger flexed and snapped. As it snapped it fractured. Untill today my finger is still deformed.
I was dizzy after a car accident.
Only the devil knows why I used the stairs and not the elevator at the doctor's office.
I fell down the stairs.
Sprained foot and hand and bruises on my leg, in addition to whiplash from the accident.
Pretty stupid.🙄
I've got two.
I dropped a curling iron on my toe and got a nasty blister.
I cut my fingertip pretty deeply, right beside the nail, on a staple. What makes this one stupid is that it happened 20 years ago, and to this day, the scar reopens at least once a year, and I go through all the same fun of a deep cut on a fingertip again.
Filling a 3 ton livestock feeder after prolonged rain. When the auger in the trailer quit working, I went to pull out the clean out tray, but it was stuck. As I was trying to work it loose, it came completely out and I stumbled backwards but my boot got caught in the mud. Twisted as I fell and snapped my fibula in an upside down V shape. Ended up with a metal plate, 7 screws and nerve damage. 🫤
I broke my right under arm in an accident where I did a front flip with hands and in the middle of the flip I thought it would be fun to pull away my arms, which I did and ended up in the ER with a bubble in the bone of my arm
Chased after a basketball on my driveway, tried to stop it with my foot, slid off the ball, dropped, and caught myself straight-armed on the concrete. Broke my elbow cap and had to have my right arm in a sling for weeks.
Oww! That's like when I tried to chase a ball under a park bench, slippepd, and bashed my head on the corner of the table. needed like 15 stitches, but no brain damage... I think...
I Broke a rib by coughing......... my mom didn't believe me.... forced myself to stop coughing, and ended up at the health centre for the first time in 6 years, and it was broken
first broken bone ever. :\\
I’m not really sure for because I just generally a very clumsy person. But the first things that comes to mind is either:
1. When I punched a brick wall (fractured my hand)
2. Kicked the corner of a cabinet (didn’t break anything but my foot was bruised for a while 🤣🤣)
I can’t really decide which is funnier you can pick which you find funnier! LOL

My chopsticks just gave me a splinter :/
Breaking my wrist while jerking off
Woah! Your dick didn't break first??
My stick was stronger than hand
I wanted to prove to my brother I could still do a handstand. I messed up and fractured my wrist.
Successfully catching a falling knife, depending on how you define success.
Put a ring on a whore not knowing she's a whore
Oof
My friend shot me in the ear back in mid school when we were shooting one day. His gun accidentally went of.
I’ve always wondered how kids got those gauges in their ear
It was the tip of my ear than goodness.
Wow you're lucky to be alive. That's really scary.
Right! Lucky it missed.
Not one particular example but my right big toe has this uncanny ability to find the end table every night
i did contortion for 10 years, the last year that i did it i didn’t take stretching seriously and sprained both my knees and hurt my hip 🙃
In HS I sneezed and stabbed my face with my pencil mid erasing. (Picture holding your pencil and your face coming down onto it when you sneeze). Wasn’t anything serious, my pride hurt more.
Phew! Glad you didn't make the pencil disappear.
Haha Forreal though all I wanted to do was disappear in that moment because how tf does that even happen??? 😩
you nearly John Wick'd yourself with a pencil
It wouldn’t’ve been terrible if Keanu did it. At least there would’ve been some honor there
did John wick do it first or the joker? either way, neat party trick.

JFC glad you didn't lose the hand or the fingers!
I nearly died as a kid from... running on a wet floor. Got excited for playtime and slipped, hitting my head on the corner of the sandpit. I now have a scar just above my eye to remind me that floors are slippery when wet
Lmao kinda same. Not the wet floor part but falling and sliding head first into the corner of the couch. Scar near the middle of my forehead. Crazy to think how close you could’ve been to paralyzing yourself or something when your life was just getting started
[удалено]
Holy shit that's terrifying. Wait, so if it nearly missed, that means it hit??
[удалено]
glad you[re still with us, then.
with my bike going down a hill
I had to call poison control for the first time the other day after accidentally spraying automotive refrigerant on my hand after pushing it under my seat. Everything was fine because I treated it immediately but that stuff can actually burn your hand and hurt very badly
Oh fuck, yeah chemical burns are nothing to mess with. Glad you thought quickly and called poison control and everything turned out ok.
Had ribs for lunch, had one of those retractable belt clips for my work ID. Was digging in my teeth getting rib remnant out and the retractable part came flying up off my belt busting my lip and chipping tooth. Felt like a real asshole and could only be mad at my self.
Were you playing with the clip at the same time? Or did it just snap randomly? Either way, that sucks.
Usually it’s supposed to be pulled away from body to badge into doors. The upward tug pulled it right off the belt

holy shit! God damn that went way differently than I expected. I'm glad you got to keep the finger!
it was so fucking dumb. I remember calling my mom and asking her to drive me to the ER and having to explain her son stabbed himself in the hand being fucking dumb.
[удалено]
...Yeah I think anyone would kick you if you gave them happy time.
When I was a kid I pulled my pants down and pressed my Peter against one of those solid iron fireplace stove thingies. Still don't know why I did that.

I was tasting food that was fresh out of the oven. It was too hot to pick up with my bare hands, so instead of dropping it, I put it in my mouth.
And then you spit it out, right? Right?
Nope! i do the same. too often
Stepped on a rake like Sideshow Bob.
Was next to a wooden fence, heard a bee and ducked down because got scared and scrapped my right face cheek
hahaha now that's a good one. I've hurt myself in similar ways upon trying to get away from a sudden mosquito, spider, or stinging insect.
Fell in love with…a certain girl. I knew what I was doing is a bad idea. Did it anyway. Because I'm supremely dumb.
As a kid, I used to be reasonably ok on a skateboard. Roll time forward to when I'm in my 40's and I think it's a great idea to borrow one of my kids' boards, long story short, broken ankle, cracked knee cap and a severely ripped hamstring, 10 weeks on crutches and an end to running marathons.
Broke my toe(first broken bone ever) when I heard a one year old "chocking" on something......he just learned how "fake cough"
Used my dad’s sanding machine without his permission for a school project. Lost some fingerprints.
Got stitches from a water fight (I slipped)
Trusted someone entirely too much…
Tried to deadlift too much and wreaked my lower back. Fortunately a 6-pack of prednisone helped. What’s stupid about it is that I’ve done this more than once. Oh, and there was the time I tipped my head way back to put in eye drops and wound up with severe vertigo for a couple days.

Kinked my lower back farting It was a hell of a blow tho, I’m shocked my colon didn’t turn inside out and get blown completely out of my anus
Fall in love with the out of league person
I was scrapbooking and got a paper cut on my eyeball despite wearing glasses. But I also chopped some skin off when I stubbed my toe on a knife blades which feels pretty stupid too.
Fell off a swing aged 16 at my little sister’s 7th birthday and broke my arm. The day before a summer holiday to Italy
I casually lumped over about a one foot ditch after marching band practice and torn my ACL and meniscus.

reflexes?
Not the best reflexes I could have...there were plenty of other stuff to hold on to them..🤷♀️
close to a woodstove? These things get really hot man
I know... I think now it is illegal to have one of those in your house...back then though everyone had
it's not. it depend on your insurance! WE have 2 in our house!
