Hey Pandas, What's The Dumbest Way You've Gotten Injured?

Running out my house because I was already late for schoolbus I chash full speed on to a pole right in front of my door and broke my nose, (had to wear an ugly mask for 2 weeks) my glasses, and had a concusion that gave my blackened eyes for all my friends an familly to lough at.
In my defense the pole was placed in front of my house right the day before... but still I didn't see it.

Laughing at a joke on BP. I laughed so hard I cricked my neck and ended up in the ER.

First time answering one, but... Which time?! OK, dumbest was breaking a foot in four places b/c I was walking downstairs... carrying a box... and felt the cat against my leg... And I didn't want to step on the cat. I stepped over the cat, missed the next step down, and pretty much face-planted at the bottom, with one foot in the wrong shape. Did not learn my lesson, either. Thirty years later, tripped over cat on flat surface, b/c I didn't want to step on the *other* cat. Nine pieces of metal now hold that arm together, and yes, teak is very tough wood. I bounced off the table and chair before the floor. Moral: I'll probably injure myself again so I don't step on a cat!

Trying to feed my goats. Tripped over my own feet and tumbled about 15 down a steep hillside. Threw my back out and hurt like hell for days.

I was walking up the stairs in my slippers. My foot slipped out and I smashed my big toe on the stair, ripping off half of my toenail.

About a year ago, I got in a bike accident trying to avoid an accident. Passed between a tree and high fence. Tried to move my right hand over, sleeve got stuck on the handlebar. Hit the fence, hit the sidewalk. Bruised ribs, some sidewalk rash on my hands, gnarly scar on my knee and broke some blood vessel in my left thumb which puffed up around the knuckle. Fun times!

While bored in class, I was playing with a pencil like an airplane and I accedintaly stabed myself in the eye. Had to wear a medical eyepatch for a month.

I was like 5 and on vacation with my parents in a mountain area. Ran down the rocky hill we were standing on, wearing flip flops, tore the skin of my leg open from thigh to ankle and dropped my freaking ice cream.

I scratched myself really bad when i was trying to do a TikTok dance

I was walking to school and fell down, and my dumbass took the entire impact with a single finger.

It was only fractured, but by god it felt broken

Getting off the trampoline. Sitting on side and was less than 12” from the ground. Snapped my ankle and my grandmother coming out the house could hear it snap. Went to the ER and had a hairline fracture and my ankle was swollen for more than two weeks.

This was from my dad. When he was younger he was obsessed with the write brothers. One day he made a ‘plane’ and jumped off the roof of my grandparents garage. He landed in a patch of stinging nettles.

When he told my grandmother, she ripped him a new one and didn’t bother to take him to hospital. He’s fine and later repeated it with cardboard wings.

I got run over by a four-wheeler because a dog stepped on the gas while getting in it. Lmk if you want the whole story

Stepped on a shoe, broke my ankle..
Yes my brothers still make fun of me after more than 10 years because of it!

Once at school I got a nose bleed so i had to go to the nurse, i fell down the steps on my way. I sprained my foot really bad and it was sprained for about a month or so
also once I dropped a sledgehammer on my hand

I climbed up the monkey bars when I was seven, and I jumped down to show my teacher and got the breath knocked out of me. I also tried to be like a circus performer and jumped onto a ball and attempted to jump back off but fell and hit my back on the ground. Of course my delusional child mind......

I was climbing on a mattress that was propped up against a wall, fell between the wall and the mattress, got stuck for a few seconds and fractured my sternum.

Back in elementary school, like 3rd grade? I was running around the playground, as one does, and i put my foot in a little ditch and it sprained my ankle. Dumb thing about it? I somehow did it twice.

When I was 9 we went on a hayride and a picnic. I was running around in the field and forgot there was a creek, I ran off a 4 foot ledge rolled through several bushes of stinging nettles into the creek. I was covered head to toe in stinging nettles. Spent the rest of the picnic and ride back covered in mud (as the mud dries it pulls out the nettles) and had to be hosed off behind the resorts kitchen.

Early 20s I was brushing my hair and ended up in urgent care. Had excruciating back pain and couldn't move my upper body or stand up straight. I couldn't even put on a shirt to go to the hospital, thankfully I had on an undershirt and found a knitted poncho. Turns out it was a muscle spasm in my back. Who knew brushing your hair could lay you up for 2 weeks and cause a 15yr addiction to muscle relaxers.

I was barefoot at a party, went to kick a balloon, missed, and smashed my toe into a chair leg. Ended up breaking my toe. It wasn't even that strong of a kick. I was just casually kicking at it to get it out of the way.
