    Putting sudocrem on a spot and then rubbing your eye. Burn baby burn.
    However nothing is guaranteed to turn the air blue like when I stub my baby toe off something.

    When your hammering nails and you hit your thumb.

    Walking around in your bare feet, open a door only to catch your toe under it... Agony.

    Getting a slap from one of those orange plastic footballs on a cold day. Could be used as torture.

    I was reaching for a mug after the kettle was coming to the boil and I passed the inside of my forearm across the jet of hot steam coming from the kettle's nozzle. It was absolute agony and it was the worst burn I ever received. The scar from the burn is still with me 8 months later.

    I've the opposite problem.

    Following serious spinal injuries there are big areas of my body that are numb - like local anesthesia. Done some damage as a result.
    Had a big hole through my shoe and into my foot once. Walking along the seafront and some kid says "Ma that man is blooding everywhere" Looked behind me and there was blood all along the path and the sole of my foot was a bloody mess. Took months of out patient care to get it right. I've burned and scalded myself a couple of times.Also recently wore a hole through one of my fingers while working on the car - didn't realise the tool I was using was tearing through one of my fingers until blood start spilling.
    Pain exists for a reason :)

    getting a splinter, thorn or any other long needle top object stuck in your hand. Having to slowly pull it out then watch as it begins to gush with blood... i think just seeing it happen is them most painful part :(

    Do you kneel down to piss?
    It's his way of telling everyone that he have a langer like a donkey;)

    When you get a thorn in your hand and the skin grows over it I usually get the nail clippers and hack away the skin over it until I get the thorn out. I don't find it painful.

    Accidentally biting your tongue

    Another toilet one. Got short taken on a long drive and pulled into a gateway and dropped the pants, squatted down.....onto a bunch of nettles!!! Can't remember if I actually managed to pee, the pain was so great.

    when brushing my teeth vigorously and the brush slips down off my teeth and cuts my gums.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭Summer wind


    When cycling and your foot slips on the pedal and your crotch meets the crossbar with force.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,597 ✭✭✭Aisling(",)


    Razor rash, especially under the arms.

    Thigh chafing, did a 10km recently and the delightful pain of my two ham like legs rubbing off each other managed to distract away from any other pains.Not doing any long runs in short shorts...lesson learned!

    A graze from the rough skin of a dogfish,takes ages to heal and burns like hell!

    Banging your hipbone on a door handle/edge. Crumble every time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 174 ✭✭Sergei Malatov


    That little nail thing on the side of your fingernails.

    Don't ever pull it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 240 ✭✭Ignatius in bloom


    I crashed down on the crossbar and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass murder. Thats all!

    When you pick up a young toddler and they accidentally kick you in the balls .......... you don't feel it at first and just when you think you've gotten away with it ........ AGONY!!!

    Makes you feel nauseous to the point of vomiting. :(

    Find myself on the receiving end of this when I have my son sitting in the shopping trolley. Stop to look at something on the shelf, then whack. Feel like lying on the floor and just curling up in a ball.

    Not physical pain but when a child says something less than complementary about your haircut/outfit/make-up/whatever, you know that children are honest to a fault and if they've said it everyone else is probably thinking it! :D

    Also, when you have long nails and you hit your finger off something and it bends your nail backwards. Not pleasant.

    Accidentally biting the inside of your cheek...
