Silly/Annoying Injuries

    Myself and two friends were on the way home after a night out, and we naturally had a few drinks on us, and the friends were arguing about something, and I was too locked to care.

    So I got distracted and started to climb a lampost, and I fell on my arse, and had awful back pains for about two weeks.

    Oh I got one -- when I was six, my mam was bringing me to swimming lessons but couldn't get parked, so she let myself and my sister off at the entrance to the pool. I got out of the car and - I couldn't explain this then and I still can't - I somehow managed to stumble so that my heel was right in front of the back wheel of the car. Mam didn't notice and started to drive off, crushing my foot in such a way that my toes were parallel to the front of my leg!! I screamed, so in a panic she reversed back off me, jumped out of the car, but forgot to pull up the handbrake so the car ran over my foot again. Which is when I passed out ... Lots of surgery, years of physio, it actually looks normal now but I still have a bit of a limp :(

    I had a few silly ones over the years but nothing too major.about 6 years ago after watching bike trials on t.v I decided I was the next dougie Lampkin.I dragged myself and my bicycle on top of a bale and made a half hearted attempt to jump off.My coccyx got acquainted with the cross-bar of my bike.

    Around the same time I was show-jumping on a horse I didn't know to well.The second last jump came around and the horse decided he wanted to stop beforehand while I kept moving.I managed to crack three wooden poles with my lower back.I needed quite strong painkillers for a month after that and my back was black{kidney trauma I think}

    A few years after this I was cycling down a hill on my bike.The front tire caught a rut,I went over the handlebars and slid along the ground on my chin for a while.I have a few nice scars from that:rolleyes:

    Around the same time as that i was sitting down while spinning a fillet knife in my hand by the handle.I got distracted for some reason and it touched my upper lip.I couldn't feel anything but drops of blood were dripping onto my tshirt.That left a small half-inch scar on my upper lip.

    Was acting the fool with my mates when i was about 16, one of them tripped me and i landed on my face.

    Got up dusted myself off and they're all looking at me with horrified expressions...
    I had a 6 inch nail sticking out of my forehead.....with the sharp end sticking out...dont know how that was even possible. :(

    Didn't go in too far though and didnt have any long term ill effects

    I was on crutches because I'd broken my foot. I decided to make toast. The toaster was in our utility room, the chairs and table were in the kitchen. Trying to carry the hot toast in my hand wasn't an option, so where did I put it? Yup, under my chin, and carried it between my chin and chest.

    I burned myself, it hurt for days, and I felt like a total fool.

    In primary school we were having a game of chase in the yard.

    I was being chased by the fat kid in the class...easily winning until i tripped and fell flat on my face onto concrete and was knocked unconcious then apparently the fat kid who was chasing couldnt stop so fell ontop of me, and broke my arm.

    They banned running in the yard after that...people in the school blamed me, i blamed the fat kid...

    Really stupid things i do are getting sellotape cuts on my lips from trying the cut the tape between my teeth - ive also closed the car boot on my head by just not getting my head out of the way fast enough - done that with opening a car door too.

    Or standing up below an open cabinet in the kitchen and whacking you head off the corner. Thats sent me to my knees a couple of times as well as catching my thumb in teh kitchen drawer :D

    Missed the top step of my stairs and caught my big toe and broke it - was shuffling for few days after that
