    Just thought I'd share my frustration over my ankle being all fecked up after being knocked over at my friend's going away party last night :mad:
    And I wasn't even drunk! Someone just bumped into me behind me in a packed pub and knocked me onto the ground. Didn't even say sorry or anything!
    And now there's me limping around today like a lost puppy! *insert feeling-sorry-for-myself smiley here* :P

    Anyone else wanna share injury stories from parties/nights out that you experienced through no fault of your own?

    Let's see who wins the "worst party injury award" :D

    I went to las vegas for my stag party. After a few drinks I cant remember anything apart from waking up on the roof of a hotel. I was stuck there for a few days but made it home in time.

    Long story, it was funny though, could make a movie out of it I'd say.

    The greatest injury I ever got from a party was to my ears when I was sitting down chatting to another lady and some gobsh!te took out his guitar and started playing Stay Tonight by Eagle Eye Cherry over and over again.

    I fell into a toilet and broke six teeth.

    Was nobody's fault but my own though . . .

    I vaguely remember injuring my face against a bouncers fist once.

    Got 2 stilletos directly into my knee last week when some dizzy bint swung out of her boyfriends neck and thrust her legs back into space......and my knee.

    Ow.

    If you count parties at camping, then during the morning of one such party, one friend decides to burn a paper plate to get the fire to continue. He burns his hand doing so and in reaction throws the plate behind him, and I, minding my own business trying to fix something, suddenly feel and see this burning paper plate stuck onto my forehead. Too exhausted to react enough, I simply wipe it off, still don't look up and just ask for the towel, where I wet it with a bottle of water and keep it at my head - it hurt a lot more later on that day I can assure, and still somewhat visible (nearly three years later). One guy sitting on a camping chair who saw it all hid himself completely with his blanket, and all you could see was the blanket bobbing rapidly from his silent laughing.

    Short Version: Burning paper plate thrown accidentally at (and stuck to) my forehead


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    I went to a stag, the grooms brother was an annoying drunk and kept punching me on the shoulder in a "matey" way. After 5 or 6 of these, I got fed up and caught his fist and gave it a good twist, which caused an impressive cracking sound. He dropped to the floor squealing like a pig, but everyone was drunk and the music was loud so nobody paid him much heed. Turned out his arm was broken, so there's how come none of his family speak to me much these days. Ahh, the things that happen. He did look a bit sh1te in his best mans suit with that big white sling on though in fairness.

    Oh god, that sounds sore as hell!

    Think you might be our best contender for the "Most annoying party injury through no fault of your own" Award so far!

    Offered to take a photo of a group of people at a wedding six weeks ago. Slipped and fell onto carpet. Mortified I jumped up and thought I had carpet burned my knee, was rubbing it for ages and when I took my hand away it was covered it blood, I didn't realise I'd fallen on glass and took a huge chunk out of my knee. Still not fully healed :(

    New Years Eve, stone cold sober, fell down three tiny fecking steps, flat on my face. Hurt my foot pretty badly, so I drank a lot to numb the pain.. and was very, very sick. Classy!

    Ah Jaysus! That would have freaked me out - all of a sudden realising I'd been bleeding all this time! Did you not nearly pass out seeing the piece of glass sticking out of your knee??? :(
    I assume you had to get that stitched up in A&E, right?

    I'd say you're the clear winner of the "Worst-injury-at-a-party" so far...

    Yeh I did sort of freak a little. I didn't go to A&E, I got a nurse friend to look at it at the wedding and take the glass out. Had to fill out incident reports and all :rolleyes: I work in a hospital so when I went in on the Monday my boss was like "eh, I think you need a stitch" but I couldn't be dealing with that so I just kept putting new plasters on it! I reckon it'll be a scar for life now!

    Chipped my front tooth drinking from a bottle of beer when my friend decided to start dancing in front of me and whacked her elbow straight into the end of the bottle, the dentist said I was lucky that I only lost a small corner of the tooth.

    I've also ended up in A&E getting stitches in my head after shenanigans at parties, but that was nobody's fault but my own.. Couldn't wash my hair for a week till the stitches came out, the blood dried and flaked out over the next few days which was lovely.

    Was at a house party in Boston a few years ago. We decided to go outside to the playground in the middle of the night to play baseball. Anyway in the pitch dark, my friend pitched the ball towards me. Sure I couldn't see it and it smacked me right in the eye. Had a awful shiner the next morning.

    Got the ride though so it wasn't all bad.

    Fell asleep at a houseparty (as full as full could be mind you) one night. Fair enough if someone got a permanent marker out or shaved my eyebrows, but the lads put some nail varnish remover on my head and wondered if it would light. Sadly for me it was highly flamable and burt the hair and ear, first degree burns and alot of cream needed after that.
