Hey Pandas, What's A Silly Way You've Gotten Hurt? (Closed)

Fell over on a chair, got a bruise on my leg, it got inflamed, was allergic to the antibiotics and after a few weeks it got so bad it had to be operated on asap but it was possible i was allergic to the anesthetic so it was done without any. Had a open wound on my leg for 8 weeks that had to be cleaned every day and stuff jammed into the wound. Now 13 years later the scar looks like a bullet wound and has no feeling. All of this because 16year old me thought it would be fun to stay up all night drinking coffee and rocking on a chair while chatting on Omegle.

I was petting my cockatiel and he bit me, which caused me to fall backwards into my laundry and onto a coat hanger.

I broke my wrist in a foam pit

I was once (being young and stupid) hurtling myself toward the couch head first because I liked the “feeling” of the impact. I then proceeded to aim to low, bang my head on the boards underneath the cushions, and passed out.

Crashing into my friend on an electric scooter going 33mph… I broke both bones in my left wrist, bruised my knees up and hit my head pretty hard while sliding across the road… yeah….

When I was serving the Navy Reserve and had to do my "two weeks" at a sub school in Norfolk. While there I was doing basic office work and was loading a bunch of boxes of printer paper onto a handcart. While I was lifting them, the petty officer over me was saying "Use your legs." to me when I grunted to lift a box. Being twenty-three and immortal, I ignored him and dropped the box onto the handcart. The handcart bounced forward and hit me square in the forehead. While I was holding my bleeding head, the PO said "Didn't I tell you to use your LEGS?". I apologized and was sent to the local Navy hospital where I had to tell the corpsman how it happened and she laughed and laughed.

Looking back, lifting with my legs might have saved my back some later pain, so to whomever that petty officer was, sorry that I didn't listen.

Also, I think this is pretty common but I drank too hot... hot chocolate which ruined my sense of taste for a week.
I know a lot of people have experienced similar things anyway.

a bug landed on my left feet, i freaked out, shook my left feet, hit my left heel on the amphitheater bleachers and it bled - same bug flew, landed on my right feet, i freaked out, shook my right feet, hit my right heel on the amphitheater bleachers and it bled. right beside my brothers. guess who still hears about this 15 years later

I fell down at the bottom of a flight of stairs, not while on the stairs, but at the floor in front of them, and the top of my foot was covered in a massive bruise that took about a week to clear up.

I fell out of a boulder in an overhang, which gave me a big scratch on the front of my shin. I don’t get how it’s possible, as it was an overhang

The house I grew up in had a huge back porch. It was really high off the ground and the railings didn't have anything on them to prevent someone from going under them and falling off, like a child. So when it would snow sometimes it would freeze and be like an ice rink and I would love sliding around on it. So one day I get the bright idea to get a long running start and dive to slide across on my belly, but I dove way too late and ended up sliding right under the railings and off the side of the porch. I landed on a half frozen pile of shoveled snow and broke both my arms at the same time. I had casts going from my wrists up to my armpits. Seemed like a great idea at the time..

Not me but my math teacher fell down like 3 steps in a flight of stairs and broke both of her legs not too badly right before summer started

Just tried to stretch my back while working on some presentation. Ended up hurting my back and couldn't sleep properly for three days

Fell asleep on the couch in a weird position, someone rang my doorbell and it started me so I jumped off the couch but my foot had fallen asleep and I sprained my foot terribly after falling on the floor ! I hate when people come over!

As a very stupid and drunk twenty something I flung myself at a snowbank to show (off) how "fun" I was in front of a guy, not realising it was a pile of ice. I broke 2 ribs and my entire left side was black and blue. Couldn't walk properly for weeks.

I flipped a nut wrench( it's basically a screwdriver used for removing sheet metal screws for those who don't know) and wound up giving myself a black eye from it.

When I was 12, my parents got me a Slip n Slide. We set it up in the yard and I proceeded to ride it for hours. Toward the end of the afternoon, I decided to try a new trick. Id been watching a lot of surfer/beach movies lately and was obsessed with the idea of being a cool surfing girl. I thought it would be a great idea to try to go down the Slip n Slide standing up, like I was surfing. I got a great running start, leapt and landed on my feet- and then immediately, my feet went out from under me, and I fell HARD- slamming down on the flattened rock hidden in the grass that nobody had noticed when we set the thing up. I immediately screamed and started bawling. A fractured coccyx is no joke! The recovery was hell. Kids, watch out for rocks under the Slip n Slide.

fell into a pool and cut my elbow open after my brother made me lose my balance. best part is i was videoing when it happened.

Oi, sooo many but probably worst was in 4th grade, teacher leaves class to run to a lemonade sale the 3rd graders were putting on in the courtyard behind our room. A few of us sneak out and are peaking around the corner when teacher starts walking back. We run back to class and I decided to turn around to see if she was coming. When I turned back around one of the steel poles holding up the roof over the porch/patio area in front of the classroom was an inch from my face. Wake up in the grass area in front of the classroom and a girl makes a comment that I'm bleeding. I promptly scoff at her and feel my head, only to discover blood pouring down my face. 24 stitches, 10 inside 14 outside, and wound was so deep they tried to numb the area but it wouldn't take. Spoiler alert, I am a ginger and we often don't require as much pain relief meds as you mortals, mwahahaha.

I played percussion in the marching band in high school. I was playing for a pep rally and things were getting really excited. One of my "things" is that I would jump really high and come down and hit the drum. One time as I landed, my right ankle gave way and I tore several ligaments. The really bad part is that I was also a really good athlete, school record-holder in shot put and discus. That injury sidelined me for most of the season and I missed out on going to the State Championship Meet.
