Dropping stuff on your Foot!

Lawless_Samurai

I have just dropped a pretty large shelf directly on my foot! Although it feels like my big toe is broken I thought I'd start this thread before heading to the docs.....

What funny/strange/dangerous/normal everyday things have you or someone you know dropped on your/their foot???

my mam dropped a concrete block on her foot she thought she would be able to lift it, she wasnt , haha was soo funny! , then another day in tesco the person working there rolled over her foot with the crate he was pushing, also laughed..

my dad drove a sprong(one them pitch fork things) threw his foot, needless to say i didnt laugh at that one.:eek:

My child vomited all over me in Dunnes Stores Grocery. He was sitting in the trolley, I was lifting him out cause he didnt look well, Just as I had him. He Vomited...........

It went from my chest all the way down to my feet and there was a big puddle on the ground...

The smell of it was putrid. Some poor Girl had to clean it up. I had to buy a cheap tshirt to change into....

My sister droped a horse on her foot, well not so much droped as the horse stod on her foot. Still, it broke her foot and she had to go to hospital.

I'm forever dropping things and somehow my toes always end up being the target. Myself and two other lads also once dropped a 2 wheeled horse cart on my arm. True story... don't ask.

ow!

I kicked a wall when I had girlie sandals on. After I'd broken enough toes on my right foot I changed to the other foot. End result, massively bloody feet and broken toes on both. Didn't bother with casualty as I've broken toes before and there's f*ck all they can do for ya!

bet you're all wondering what the wall did to deserve it!

a little bit.... Do tell :D

I also dropped a concrete block on my foot once, it missed the steel toe part of my boot and got the unprotected bit. Didn't do as much damage as I at first feared luckily.

Im sure it was funny though.:D

I did the ligaments in my foot when I kicked the ground instead of the football.

My dad works as a builder and he said the trick when something drops in the general direction of your foot and you don't have the time to move it out of the way is to lift up your foot towards the object so that when it hits your foot you can attempt to at least slow it down or let it slide off your foot in another direction.

It might be advice a bit late for the OP but everyone else might benefit from it

Actually the poor wall was just in the wrong place at the wrong time...

My toes were in agony for over a month afterwards, they went through loads of different stages and colours. I had to walk arnud in flat shoes and on my heels most of the time - hard times

When I was working in Dunnes, I heard this huge bang and I came running to see what had happened. I saw a pram with 2 wheels in the air and a grocery-basket hanging off the end of it. Apparently the mother had decided it would be a good idea to leave her heavy grocery basket on the back of the pram, which then toppled over. The baby looked unbelievably frightened.

Oh, on topic, I hate dropping things on my foot, but its worse when you step on a nail

Lawless_Samurai

Just a tad bit late L31mr0d but I'll remember it the next time I drop a shelf on my foot because when ya think about it I still have my right foot in good nic so its bound to happen!!! :):D

I remember one time my cousin threw a large rock up into the air, she walked forward two steps and it landed on her head! Muhahaha!

Pj!

I laughed suddenly and quite uncontrollably when I read that and I don't really know why.
Baby's do look funny when frightened though.

You should try the time I irresponsibly went too fast with a buggy and it tipped the other way - I was young at the time and the kid (my cousin) was fine, but it gave me one hell of a fright.

If he was a member I'm sure his contribution would be something along the lines of "I don't like my cousin dropping buggies on me when im strapped to them"

I work part-time in a Deli. If you think coleslaw is traumatic you should see the state of me after all the large people in reflective jackets have finished ordering their jumbo brekkie rolls.:D

One of those really heavy ladders. Landed on my big toe, blood everywhere, had to go the hospital, my big toe was swollen for about three months after and I had to wear one shoe two sizes bigger...

I think I have this one topped. I managed to drop a full box of unexposed x-ray film on my toe last Christmas. At least I didn't have too far to hobble to get it x-rayed and I hadn't broken it which was bloody fortunate

OctavarIan

Roughly 200 litres of milk. Luckily it only fell a few inches, but my god did it hurt. Plus getting it OFF my foot was pretty damn hard.

Also slipped while carrying a 10kg bag of potatoes and fell on my back, half a second later the bag fell on my chest

Ah we'll allow it!

Well didn't end up going to the docs in the end and when I finally plucked up the courage to take my shoe and sock off it wasn't half bad. The shelf seemed to manage directing all its might into my big toe. Its not broke just cut deep around the nail where it touches the skin. Still though its a killer to walk on!!!

Back on topic someone mentioned steping on a nail. Did that when i was young except with my hand!!! :eek::eek::eek:

Terry

Hopped on the back of one of those big tractor mowers. The ones used for cutting grass in large feilds.
Had one foot on the tow bar and the other on the bar used to hold extension blades.
When the tractor started to move, the bar for the extension blade moved up and squashed my big toe.

The toe burst open at the back, I broke the bone and lost my toenail.

Thank god I was drunk at the time.

Not that bad really. Can walk on it anyway which is a plus! Although when I walk fast it hurts so as long as I'm not in a rush I'll be alright...... Crap late for college gotta go!!!!

H.O.T.A.S.

My dad parked a car on my foot, then proceeded to put on the handbrake open the door, get out and see what I was screaming. I duly informed him in a not so polite manner the error he had made and kindly asked if he could move the vehicle post-haste.

A friend dropped a brick on my foot and I had to walk 12 miles in unbearable pain to get help

The Queen

When I was in Portugal, I bomb dived into the pool, banging my toe off the cover of a drain at the bottom. I couldn't move it, and it was really bruised. When I was back to work, I dropped a shelf on that foot. My toe must of been dislocated because after that, straight away I could bend it!

Sometimes dropping stuff = good!
