I opened the fridge and a packet of parmesan cheese fell out and hit my foot. I started bleeding a little bit, so went to the bathroom to get a plaster. I didn't realise, but it must have hit an unfortunate place as by the time I had got to the bathroom (hopping on one foot) I had managed to get blood all over my kitchen tiles, lounge tiles, cream bedroom carpet, bathroom tiles and side of the bath. Doh! I then had to try and stop the dog and toddler spreading it even further while I stopped the bleeding.

What stupid injuries have you had recently? It may help me not feel quite so stupid

The other day I bent over to pick up something from the kitchen floor. I miss judged how close I was to the counter and smacked my forehead on the counter top. I've never done that before, it had Dh in fits of laughter, I stumbled about and yelled at him for not being sympathetic, no blood just a nice bruise.

I broke my collarbone on a bouncy castle when I was 11. Not recent, I know, but has some intrinsic comedy value.

Thanks guys!

I scraped my knuckle on the side of a swimming pool and scraped off the skin, took 3 weeks for it to heal fully.
On Monday I shut my finger in a box of cat litter and now have a 1/4 inch long blood blister on my finger.
2 days ago I accidentally stabbed myself in the belly with a needle and now have a massive purple bruise.

Those are just some of the ones from the past few weeks!

Now I have taken the bloody plaster off, there is a very disappointingly small hole. It is a mystery how so much blood got everywhere. Now I can't even show it off to get sympathy.

Now then yes I know what you're all thinking but man or woman a nail that breaks on the pink bit/nail plate F..............................K that hurts.

about 3 weeks ago i got out of a very hot bath as i had foot cramps and couldnt get relaxed. I felt faint so i leant my arms on the bathroom counter. Next thing i know i was on the floor. I had managed to faint and smack my forehead striaght into the counter and then topple back into the wall and cut my head open.

I had a huge egg on my eyebrows, a ride strapped on a stretcher in an ambulance (as i felt faint ever time i sat up), 5 hours in the emergency dept, 2 litres of saline, 10 staples in my scalp, and 2 black eyes the next day! All from a hot bath!! Oh and i got blood all over the bathroom floor tiles and grout, the bathroom wall and skirting board and the light coloured towells! And this was all a week before i started my new job so i had to go in with two black eyes ! (although they were fading!)

I think i win for feeling stupid!!!!

Put on a pair of boots rushing so no socks - felt what I thought was a stone in my shoe - ignored it until I couldnt walk any more
Took said shoe of and lo and behold i had an earring stuck in my foot ---the stick which goes thro the ear was about half an inch in my foot
hobbled about for the rest of the day

I think that one does win. Poor you.

It was actually quite bizarre. The egg/eyes didnt hurt at all and the staples only hurt if you poked them. So it was the most pain free injury ive ever had lol!

Funny Guys

Poor you! That does sound bad.

CAdreaming - that is like something I would do!

I'm not sure about that! Two years ago I knocked myself down with my own truck. I had been to the vet and must have stepped in dog poo in the parking lot -- anyway, there was such a stink in the car I pulled into a side road, looked down and saw the yuk on my boot. So I leapt out to wipe it off on the grass. However, I'd left the engine running, the road was steep and I didn't realize that my handbrake hadn't held. As I got out the truck picked up momentum and the door swatted me face down in the road. By some miracle, I was just badly bruised, especially my face. I can't tell you how lucky I was I didn't lose any teeth.

But talk about feeling stupid -- in the emergency room, the nurses would come up to me and say "Are you the woman who lost the fight with her truck?"

I am just peeing myself reading this Nutmegger, that has to be the winner!!!! I bent down to pull my daughters TV plug out of the wall but misjudged and smacked my face right in to the TV, I had a cracker of a black eye, not a good look when you're supposed to be directing a Funeral the next day
