dumbest ways you've gotten hurt

[2knees]

Knowing how well my pinkie toe thread went over last year I thought i'd add another one. Daughter yelled at me from upstairs last night that she couldnt open her water bottle. Started to head upstairs and BAM, she lobbed it from the top step just as I was starting up the stairs and drilled me dead on in my left eye. I look like i went a round with TJ.....:lol:

seriously though, i cant even open it today. its funny makin shit up at work about what happened. although, the truth is probably more of a stretch then the bs i've been telling co-workers.

running the other day and scuffed my toe, locked my left leg up instead of falling and ended up rolling backwards into the shrubs,... doh! this was on a main street as well. i've got a couple sore muscles in my legs. just writing about makes me laugh though..so oh well.

And then there's also the often closely associated "this one time when I was trying to get this girls attention I....." :lol:

Surprisingly, I've never actually broken a bone.

Although I remember when I was about 12 years old i put a rubber trash can on my head (like a full size one) and went running through the back yard. I hit a tree and fell over and my hand was under the rim and I sprained my wrist. That was pretty stupid.

Another time when I was like 14 I built a "zipline" in my backyard - using a rope and a carabiner. Anyway, the thing was tied up so high I went ziplining down it but because of the slack in the rope I was caught in the middle. Anyway I couldn't hoist myself up to disconnect the carabiner so I hung there for almost 2 hours until someone came home. It was a home-made rope harness so by the time someone got home I was really, really uncomfortable. Lol.

12 years old. Hanging at my friend's house eating a fruit roll-up. It was gross so I wadded it up in a ball to throw at my friend. He picks up his little sister's clarinet and swings it like a bat at the pitched fruit roll-up. Clarinet comes apart (they do that I guess) and the lower half hits me right above the eye. Splits my head open. I wake up in the emergency room getting a string of stitches. Yes, I got knocked out by a clarinet.

Did the same thing just two weeks ago but at age 52 and not so fat and out of shape!

Once in a secret stash at Sugarloaf, I gave my buddies the heads up to watch for a low-hanging branch that was sure to poke someone's eye out if you didn't duck. Yup, didn't take my eye out but broke my goggles. Geesh! Do as I say, not as I do.

After a night of drinking, I returned to my college dorm room. Thought it was a good idea to blast some metal and air guitar, and throw in a Pete Townsend like windmill and whacked my hand on the upper corner of the metal bunk bed.

Blood was sprayed on the floor, wall, and ceiling. And I broke a finger. Oh, alcohol....

7 years old visiting my Aunt and Uncle in Germany. We went out to dinner around the corner from the hotel we were staying at in Garmish. After an hour, we hadn't even had our soup course yet. As an American child raised on 5 minute service at McDonald's, I wasn't impressed. Figured if I could find a way to get my mother to bring me back to the hotel room, I could convince her to let me stay there. Only thing I could think of was to 'accidentally' cut my thumb with the butter knife. Dull as they are, the only way to break the skin was to grip down hard and pull, which I did. Cut it DEEP, hitting a blood vessel, so blood was spurting out like some sort of Monty Python movie scene all over the white table clothe. Once I saw everyone else freaking out, I started freaking out.

Needless to say, I got to go back to the hotel room. Still have a very faint scar on my thumb today from it. :lol:

Allowed a classmate in middle school to take the plastic off of a pen and rub the metal part on the desk til it was hot...then let him stick me with it. Still have a small circle scar on top of my hand.

I hear ya 2knees...& falls short of DHS's for sure...
~5 winters ago I thought I'd say hasta la vista to a pair of skiboots = too wide in the upper cuff and kinda funky throughout the lower shell...by wearing them(no no! = tempting fate) one last day @SR. At the very bottom of..think it was bottom of Lost Princess or one of those trails...@side of trail I found some ice, skis were getting dull and boots were no better...at the 1 mph mark, just before the transition to walking into line I slip on the mentioned ice, fall over(with help of the Grand Canyon upper cuffs)..try to stop the fall with my right hand, which gets pulled under my hip...and then not having let go of the skipole = twist my thumb around at which I hear this crunching sound...little bone at base of thumb.......operation..screws in it... Five years later and I'm still in the process of building up strength in it...:angry:
