Hey Pandas, What Is The Most Ridiculous Way You Have Injured Yourself?

I slapped myself in the face with my moms pocketbook handle…. Sad thing is, it was yesterday

I'll give y'all 2 ways because both are ridiculous.

When I was in second grade, I once was spinning around and fell. I hit the corner of my eye on a chair.

When I was in 6th grade, I went to a summer camp in Oklahoma. At this summer camp I was learning how to ski. In the ski class we would go out to a plastic turf and takes turns going down with our partner because they didn't have enough skis for each person. When my partner came to give me the skis he tripped as I turned around (I was sitting down and was starting to get up). I got hit beneath my eye.

Helping my ex wife tidy up a section of fence on top of a low wall several years ago, I somehow managed to slip 2 feet onto concrete with my entire weight coming down on my left heel (I was wearing trainers).

Felt the Calcaneus bone snap and my Achilles tendon twang all the way to my knee, felt like I'd been shot, managed to hop to the pond in the garden to get try and ease the pain whilst yelling for my ex wife to call the ambulance. Thankfully they arrived quite quickly and I was once again, reminded of how bloody good Morphine is !!

3 weeks in plaster in a wheelchair on strong pain killers, 2 months of Physiotherapy, 12 weeks off work oh, and it's still sore when the weather is damp !!

Moral of the story ; always make sure you land on something soft or, don't help your ex wife.

Oh and here's another one that just happened. I was making myself some food and went to wash my hands...apparently whoever used the sink before me had it sent to INFERNO. Luckily retracted my hand before I got third-degree burns.

My friend was at a play date at my house. It was raining. We came from outside, and I fell and hit my toe on a door. It broke my toe.

I went to take a step to go upstairs and I heard a pop and felt a pop in my right foot. I went down to one knee the pain was so bad. This getting old s**t is for the birds, I'm 44. Apparently walking is now hazardous to my health.

I broke my nose because I slipped on the water slide in the pool.

We were with some family members al day to the swimming pool in the the town where my sister lives. It's an indoor pool with a couple of slides and other entertainment. I went with my nephew up on the highest slide. He went first and I thought let me take a step forward and wave him bye. That's when I slipped and broke my nose, because I hit my head really hard against a steel bar at the front of the slide. Meanwhile I had to run the whole slide trying to stay awake.
It's the most foolish thing I have ever done in my live.

I once stepped in my cats water bowl, ran around in a panic, then face-planted into a f*****g door

I've broken my tailbone twice, and both times were ridiculous (and completely from my own hubris).

#1- I was 12 and had been watching a lot of surfing movies that summer. When we finally got a Slip n Slide, I thought it'd be a great idea to go down like a surfer. I took a good running start and started sliding down the hill- only to have my feet fly out from under me, and I went down hard. My butt managed to find the ONE flat rock hidden in the grass, and my tailbone was summarily cracked. Now...did my parents sue Whammo (like they would nowadays)? Nope, it was my own dumb fault.

#2- I was 35, and walking my dog in the pouring rain. The kind of rain that falls so hard it seems like it's bouncing and falling up. For whatever idiotic reason I thought it was fine that I was wearing flip-flops. My dog was pulling hard to get in the house (all 15lbs of her) so instead of going down the driveway I cut across my yard and took the side staircase- made out of bluestone. My feet slipped out from under me as there was zero traction and I fell down hard, breaking my coccyx again. I hit the ground so hard my eyeglasses flew off into the bushes (and I came outside later to see if I'd cracked the step, which is a thin plate of stone). To add insult to injury, as I lay there screaming in pain, my dog came back and hid under my legs to get shelter from the torrential rain, since I wasn't going fast enough for her.

TL;DR- watch your step

I was helping a friend clean up her yard after her husband died mid-house renovation. I carefully leaned some large glass pieces in a corner "So nobody accidentally cuts themselves." Not 10 minutes later I sliced my finger open on the same glass and had to go to urgent care to get several stitches and a split.

I sat down in the floor really fast and slammed my knee into my own face. I broke my nose and the doctors laughed at me when they saw the x-ray.

When i was a kid, i had a really big inflatable water slide. My friends and I decided that it was a great idea to jump and try to spin before sliding down the slide. I soon discovered that it was not, as i launched myself off onto the concrete 10 feet below. managed to only break my foot, though!

When I was six, I stepped on a round head thumb tack barefoot. Hopped in panic while screaming and searching for my mom and leaving a trail of blood.

I was walking my dog after he had just finished an agility course. He was a bit hyped up and spotted his bestie in the opposite direction to which we were walking...suddenly bolted resulting in me dislocating 3 fingers and ending up at the emergency room. I was cool but the instructor in charge took one look, threw up and then fainted. All three have slight arthritic tendencies with one bending slightly to the left to this day. Hurt like hell but entirely my fault....

I cut my finger with a Ginzu knife. I came home a little drunk after watching a football game in a bar, and decided I didn't like the little pegs that were on the bottom of my kitty litter scooper. I was trying cut them off when the knife slipped and cut my left index finger. Still have the scar.

Took young cousins sledding and I was on one of those circle 🔵 sleds that are hard to control. The hill was huge and in no time I'm flying down it, spinning in circles. I drifted over to the "big kid" side where they were snowboarding and jumping snow ramps. I hit a ramp going backwards, flew up through the air and hit the grounds so hard I shattered the sled and my spine. So in short, I broke my spine... sledding... lol

I horse ride, and a horse spooked and it threw me off. I was outside and I fell on a fence. The fence tore off a about 3 by 3 inch patch of skin on the back of my knee.

I’m Dyspraxic, so have many. But one, is that I fell off a mountain during the DOFE practice route, and broke my back and neck. Luckily I fell into water, but landed on rocks as well, hence the injuries. I was f*ked for ages. 🤣🙈

I was getting out of the car and I felt my feet slip on the ice and I then tried to stand up but I slipped and scraped my knee on the pavement, and fast forward to today, I decided to peel the scab off and then it started bleeding a bit, so I had to put a bandage on it, but it got wet in the shower and I had to put a fresh bandage on it.

Once when I was on a cruise I was carrying around a bucket of glitter and I had the bright idea to start running with it while wearing flip flops. I fell and skinned my knee taking a chunk to. It got badly infected on the remainder of the cruise. But the worse part was when i returned to school I slipped on water in the hallway falling down on the knee. Blood gushed from it all over the floor scaring my high school principle. It has left my knee discolored and sensitive to pressure, but never went to a doctor for it.
