What's the dumbest way you ever hurt yourself?

    One time I got out of the shower and my girlfriend was still in the bed, and I was trying to be quiet.

    My clothes were in the bedroom still where she was sleeping, so I went in and started getting ready...being quiet.

    I was putting my socks on while standing up, and my foot was still a little wet. I had bent my leg up some and started to put it on. It caught, so I pulled harder. My hand slipped off the sock and blasted me right in my balls. I fell to the floor grabbing my crotch, rolling around in agony, and she woke up to see me laying there in my underwear grabbing my balls - almost in tears.

    I'd give anything to have that on video.

    got 2 stories.

    My friend (16 at the time) climbed on a kids plastic slide that was about a metre high, and tried to slide down it, but somehow managed to fall off it, breaking his arm. a metre high!!! needless to say, he is blonde.


    I was playing on a hot day many years ago, and jumping over a tiny sprinkler we had on in our garden to water the plants. my dad said it was fine for me to splash around with it, but not to land on the sprinkler as it could hurt me. chances of hitting it? less than a million. its like 4cm x 4cm.

    i nearly cut my right foot in half, just the top of the ankle bone stopped it going right through. many stitches made a cool scar though.

    drowning in shallow water
    being stepped on while hiding
    surprising soldiers
    looking into the sun
    walking into the current
    get tagged by my own team
    tripping Golieth
    panicking in battle
    running uphill while being shot at

    when I was ten or so,
    I stuck the top end of a broom into a glass 2 litter bottle
    to pretend I had a standing mike
    to pretending I was a rock star
    singing along to Heaven on their minds.
    In the excitement,
    the glass lip to the bottle broke.
    I stepped on the thick shard and didn't notice.
    Only after the I went down stairs was the trail of blood discovered.

    Sitting in my room finishing off the pen-work on a picture I was working on. Couldn't find the gray pen, looked around, looked on the ground and saw it propped up against a shoe and went to reach for it. Kept reaching, leaning off my chair but it was just out of reach of my hand... closer, closer... closeeeerrrr...

    Bam, I fall off the chair and impale my hand on the pen. Duh.

    Sitting on a toilet in work having just...finished.
    Reached for toilet paper.
    spring-loaded toilet roll holder not fully engaged in holes.
    Shoots off like a missile and hits me in the eye.
    Flailing arms + legs akimbo I fall onto floor, trousers around ankles.

    Lying there, I see through my one good eye, the (only) roll of toilet paper scamper away out of the cubicle to rest against the main door of the men's room.

    WHY GOD? WHY????

    I'm 2 smart to ever hurt myself :D but heres some from work

    (A) this guy had to be retrained on how to use a safety knife at work, he scratched his head with the knife and needed 3 stitches.


    (B) A rather round woman at work got up off the toilet one day only to slip fall back and get wedged between the cubicle wall and the toilet. They has to break into the toilet to help her. shame she never got a chance to pull up her pants :D

    When I was was younger I went to Fort Lucan for a friends birthday and we were all playing chasing around one of the towers. I was running around and went to go down the fire mans pole, was all ready to go when BAMM im on my back on the floor. Turns out I forgot to hold on to the pole and fell right down. Wasnt my brightest moment.

    Also, I was playing with the dog once and i was chasing her through the house. I was running from the kitchen to the sitting room and i whacked my baby toe full force off the door. It was sideways!!!!!

    I was working in a night club and collecting bottles when we were closed,
    I dropped a half full pint bottle of bulmers and when it hit the ground a big stream of it shot straight up into my eye as i was looking down after watching it fall.

    When I was around 22/23 I was having a session in my house with a few lads from work. We were messing around in the garden and I was on the garden wall, maybe seven feet off the ground. I jumped to the ground thinking, "bend the knees, bend the knees".

    When I hit the ground my perfectly bent knees provided a fantastic crash-landing site for my chin, causing my upper and lower teeth to meet quite suddenly.

    Cue a sudden sober spitting of teeth.

    Gob****e.

    I was sitting in the kitchen on a lovely sunny afternoon. But the sun and I don't agree so I decided to close the blind on the window behind me. Started reaching, little more, nearly there, almost... BAM! Leaning back on the chair and it slipped right out from under me. I had 2 owies that day:(
