    Somehow today I managed to snap my big toenail in half; across the toe half way down . It looks like a pizza slice melting when I try to lift it /stick it back on.

    What's the most painful or horrible thing you've managed to see or do to yourself by accident?

    No childbirth posts! It has to be a real injury ; not a predictable side-effect of sex!

    Broken arm sucked, torn ligaments, badly bruised leg muscles.
    Took a plank of wood with a rusty nail to the forehead once, not much above my eye. :eek: Obviously it wasn't too hard, I guess I'd be dead otherwise.

    Breaking bones, not fun. Girls couldn't give a toss about lads with casts either.

    I got an infected tear duct once.

    Doesn't sound bad but when i rubbed under my eye, i'd say about a dessertspoon worth of pus streamed outta there.

    Not painful, but certainly horrible looking.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,203 ✭✭✭sfwcork


    Farted and sneezed at the exact same time

    Aagh, that reminds me of the eye infection I had. Three days of feeling like I had shrapnel in my eye. :(

    I know that pain for sure, I've done the same thing once before by stubbing my toe in a door. The damaged part of the nail should fall off after a while, just keep it clean and bandage it up after the nail falls off and it will come back perfect.

    Worst was sitting through a Tommy Tiernan gig.........PAINFUL!

    a recent encounter with the vicious Irish/British plug!

    Whoever designed them had a very dark sense of humor. When they're on the floor they invariably seem to land with the pins sticking straight up and those pins are sharp if you step out of bed onto one of them!

    It seems all other plugs used elsewhere in the world either have rounder, less stabbing pins (rest of Europe) or are designed so the pins don't stand up when they're on the floor!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    Stubbed my little toe so hard it split it open. I couldn't breath for the pain. That was fun.

    Then there was the time I sat bare arsed on my straightners while they were on, jumped up and whacked my head off the ceiling (in the attic, sloped ceiling, im not a giant). I had two owies :(

    A drunk cut my thumb pretty much off when I worked as a bouncer - he was trying to stab me in the stomach and I caught the blade, he pulled it and...oooowwwww. I then decided that my holiday in Spain the next day was more important and went on it. When I got back, the Doctor I went to had a fit, as did the hospital he sent me to. Too late to do anything as it happens, and very painful. Still is, actually, a lot of years later. I also have a .22 bullet lodged in my thigh where a lad was out to do harm to one of the other doormen and got me by mistake. I slapped down the gun and it went off. I did several laps of the block with the pain and did not feel very tough afterwards. I have a lovely scar to show for it. (Also have a tooth lodged under one of my knuckles, a large lump of steel lodged in my left hand and a big scar on my neck from a stiletto heel). I have had a lot of pain..

    You only use one finger when going for a piss??? I usually use the fingers and thumbs for grip and direction :p

    Gout was sore as was getting split open just above the eye when I was 7

    Ran into the wall playing squash and dislocated my shoulder.

    Tore my banjo string when I was 16 attempting to do you know what. Absolutely horrendous. Gimme the dislocated shoulder any day of the week.

    Got stamped on in a match and cut my ear in half took 34 stitches to put bac together still bad scar.still not as painful as dislocating my hip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,158 ✭✭✭Tayla


    When I was younger we used to have a sofa with wooden arms, anyway me and my brother were standing on the arms and jumping over to the next one...but I missed and ended up landing on it with my teeth, my 2 front teeth were hanging on by the roots and there was a deep bite mark in the wooden arm of the chair :(
    The dentist fixed my teeth but I remember living off frozen pureed strawberries for weeks after that.

    The other day I was out shopping and stupidly managed to scratch my eye with a paper bag, it was so painful and I had to stand there like a muppet in the shop looking like I was blind and had just burst into tears. :o

    Squash injuries are normally the worst-I'd say after reading Pottlers post he is grimacing in pain just thinking about a game of squash!

    Ear sliced off I assume. I don't remember pain as such, kinda went into shock when my ear was on my shoulder.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭ArtyM


    Built a gokart as a kid - pram wheels, wooden frame, low to the ground.
    Brother wanted a go on it one day and I was giving him a push. Was just building up good speed when he leaned back, the back of the cart tipped down, bring my fingers in touch with te road - ripped 4 or 5 fingernails clean off.
    That hurt. It hurt A LOT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,166 ✭✭✭enda1


    Burnt my entire hand with dry ice. That was a bad day :(
