    I am always hurting myself by accident, whether it's stubbing my toe, biting the inside of my cheek or poking myself in the eye.

    So what is the worst injury you have ever given yourself?

    I impaled my leg on a sharply-pronged fence when drunkenly attempting to climb it :eek:

    Making shi te of my ankle drunk. Falling through French doors running and not seeing them lol. Falling off my bike into a hole in the road that was big enough to be my grave, falling out f a tree and breaking my elbow. Being too stubborn to get off the swings in the park when a rough boy told me to and he proceeded to hit me to get me off it - well he knocked me Off but I held on to the chain handle things and he bashed my fingers, finally let go and stood bleeding and sobbing in his way so as he couldn't swing even though I wasn't on it. He finally got so angry he just left but not before he smacked the seat of the swing off the back of my head. Ended up in a+e for my stubborness!

    Oh and I remember breaking a branch off a tree and the branch snapped back and hit me in the face making my nose bleed.

    Knocked out my front tooth
    playing soccer :(

    I would just like to say from experience that root canal is not fun.

    Severed a tendon or a ligament in my shoulder when I fell on ice while drunk. I kinda have a bone floating about an inch higher than it should be. Still kinda painful after two years.

    I was working on a ceiling and the last thing I remember was starting to slide a board into place. The next was waking up in hospital. My daughter had found me lying unconscious in a pool of blood at the bottom of a ladder. Three broken ribs, punctured lung, cuts on head, concussion ...:eek:

    A week or so later, the consultant explained to me that the reason I couldn't remember falling was that I had "post traumatic amnesia", then he said: "Don't worry, you'll eventually remember it." I replied: "I can wait!":)

    That was about 15 years ago, and the memory still hasn't come back to me. And I'm still in no hurry for it to arrive.:)

    There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere...confine yourself to bed ..maybe ?

    Drunkenly busted open just above my eye. No idea how, just remember looking at my hands covered in blood. Had to ring around the next day asking anyone if they hit me or we'd been fighting or what... no one had any idea, still don't know what happened

    Threw a kick without warming up and my hammer went snap crackle and pop.

    Have a good indentation in my right hamstring to show for it.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Ran into the edge of the sitting room door when I was about six (partly my brother's fault too, though). Blood pumping down my face, had to get stitches.

    Was racing bikes with my brother as a kid,going through narrow arch into the garden I fell with him right behind, he proceeded to take a short cut over my head leavin me with a nice little scar across my eyebrow to commemorate his victory.

    I was working in Dunnes one Christmas and packing veg as high as it'd go before it got taken to pieces by the crazed hordes of shoppers (seriously, one guy tried to get in a fistfight with a member of staff because they were moving the turkeys from the stockroom to the fridges and wouldn't stop to let him take one before that). The crates were empty and I threw a sack of sprouts up onto the shelves to start packing - but the sack caught the lip of a crate and flipped it over and off the shelf, whereupon the edge of it hit me squarely on the bridge of the nose. Cue plenty of blood, twenty minutes getting cleaned up, and spending the next week with a plaster between my eyes.

    I also managed to give myself a perfectly straight cut above my right eyebrow by accidentally headbutting the bathroom shelf in my college accommodation. Ended up with what looked like a shallow knife slash going from forehead into eyebrow, which was actually kind of cool.

    When I was a child I decided to see what would happen if I stuck my finger in the cigaratte lighter in the car. Had to sleep that night with my finger in a glass of water and had a fossil type mark on my fingertip for ages afterwards.

    drunkenly broke my collar bone

    surprisingly breaking my wrist in soccer wasnt that painful at all

    tearing ligaments in my foot was a painful one tho
