What is the stupidest way you have injured yourself?

I tried shaving yesterday with a 4 year old razor because I found it in storage, it was a kind I like that they don't make anymore, and it somehow never occurred to me that time would dull it even without use.

I cut my one leg 7 times before I noticed and switched to a new razor.

I was trying to open a bottle of fancy tonic water and didn't have a strong grip on the bottle, so it shot forward when I tried to open it and it shattered, cutting my knuckle.

The best part is that this was the third of my knuckles I have cut on broken glass (this was the least severe - one required stitches and the other should have but somehow I talked my parents out of taking me to the hospital). Really looking forward to #4!

I did a back flip on the couch which hit and dislocated my tail bone and couldn't really walk for a week.

Dislocated a knee cap and tore a tendon walking up a hill.

Got bit by a spider while gardening without gloves

Stood on a chair with wheels to reach an object up high, fell down and knocked myself out.

Stabbed myself in the hand using a knife to open a can

Cutting chilli and rubbed my eyes - got a seed in my eye and siwnt 30 mins standing in a cold shower facing into spray. While left side of face swelled up.

Teased a horse and got bit

Wanted to impress a girl by showing off my balancing on a ute trailer by letting go - fell off trailer.

I could go on...

I did a mix of your first two: dislocated my knee while trying to do a backbend (on a couch because I'm terrified of falling and didn't want to risk falling onto the floor).

The chilli example reminds me of the time I decided to chop up some chillis that came off a tree in the backyard of the house I was in. I did it totally bare-handed, even though at the time I knew the basic idea that small chillis were stronger. My fingers stung like hell, and then a day or two later I went and tried to deal with the fleas on the kittens by bathing them, and it caused my fingers to flare up again.

Practicing opening and folding in a pocketknife. I pressed to hard on the wrong side of the blade and had a huge cut on my thumb. lolfail

Then I had to make up a story about getting it cut at work on something to tell my mom. Because that's exactly the kind of thing that would get her to get mad at me for getting a pocketknife.

In 5th grade, I was home by myself with strep throat and broke my toe when I hit my foot on an open door that I had left open because it was easier than trying to drag my cat out of the closet he was determined to spend time in.

The most surprising way I injured myself was the time I was sitting on the couch and just stood up and both my knees slipped out of place at the same time. You know, people can be weirdly hostile when they see you're hurt but don't get a good story out of you when they ask how it happened. Or at least 8th-graders can be. Unless I'm getting mixed up with other times I dislocated my knees and had nothing to tell people other than that my tendons and the muscles around my knees are weak.

I dislocated a knee during sex. But like, I injure myself in stupid ways all the time.

did you notice at the time? I can't feel pain during sexual activity, once I'm done it's like all the pain nerves come back to life though.

I noticed, it just wasn't particularly enough to make me stop. That being said, it's really easy to get my limbs out of their sockets;, though knees are more unusual/unpleasant. But my pain threshold is ridiculous anyway.

Tried to prove to a friend of mine that airsoft guns aren't harmful and that she was being a baby about the fact someone shot her with one by accident, pressed the barrel to the palm of one hand and shot myself. Had to dig a little plastic BB out of my hand with a knife and eventually a spoon. Still convinced friend was being a baby.

I sneezed while shaving my leg once and didn't take the blade off of my skin, lesson learned there.

I kneed myself in the face when pulling on my slipper and ended up with a rather large bruise on my cheek.

Sliced open my palm once when cutting up vegetables because I stupidly pressed my hand on the end of the blade to force it down.

And I generally walk into doorframes a lot despite the fact that they should be pretty easy to avoid.

I do the doorframe thing too. Even walls. I have very bad spacial orientation. I always misjudge where things are.

Doorframes are just tricksy man, they'll sneak up on you if you give them half the chance.

I managed to give myself a surprisingly serious and painful scratch actoss my belly with my fingernail while taking off a T-shirt. I had a visible scar for several years.

ya know when you're running down the stairs and you jump the last step? once, I jumped the last three for absolutely no reason. on the stairs into the basement, which wasn't finished at the time so I landed hard on the concrete floor and broke a bone in my foot.

Running down the front steps, missing a step, and managing to not only severely sprain my ankle but end up with huge scrapes down both forearms.

Falling out of my bed in a college dormitory because the girls next door scared me with their screaming.

And the stupidest of all: ended up with multiple scratches, bites, and bruises from giving one of my cats a bath. ...I found out he was the one that hates baths unlike the others.

I was cooking a caramel popcorn at work and when I tried to dump one of the ingredients in, it wouldn't come out of the bowl. So I took the paddle I'd been stirring with to try and poke it out ... and completely missed and poked my hand instead. With caramel at about 270F. HUGE second degree burn and blister that popped instantly and didn't stop oozing for three days.

I've had two concussions. One because I opened my front door into my forehead.

I broke my thumb tripping on my front porch and didn't realize it for three months,

I cut my finger open down to the bone at the knuckle when I was 12 while slicing tomatoes.

I smashed the end of my left ring finger putting away dumb-bells that someone had left on the floor when I worked at Wal-Mart eons ago (I crushed my finger between two of them).

I am a special breed of klutz.

Edited because I just remembered this: Burned all of my fingertips because I didn't know my mother had just taken a bowl out of the oven, and rather than just let go and drop it, my instinct was to carry it to the dining room table.

Edited 2016-08-12 04:13 (UTC)

I casually put my hand against the "wall", then realized it was a door jamb just as it closed. Hello blood, hello broken finger.

I dropped a glass while wearing fuzzy socks, and after I swept up all the broken bits off the floor, I took off the socks and brushed them off with my bare hand to get any pieces that might be clinging to them. Guess what that did to my hand.

I'm suffering through week 3 of a concussion right now. Was hammering in a nail above my head, dropped the nail, decided to catch the nail, and let go of the hammer to do so. At least, that's what my coworker tells me happened, I don't really remember. Thankfully it wasn't the spiky end of the hammer that landed on me.

When I was a kid, I rode a space hopper down the staircase that led to my backyard, just for the fun of it. I went flying at the bottom, but I probably would have been fine if my father hadn't left a pickaxe in the yard. I had a bald spot on my head for years afterwards.

When cutting tap on a package, point the clippers one is using away from the other hand which may be stablising the box.

It's a while ago now, but I managed a couple of months ago to give myself a small wound because I wasn't careful opening the box for my blender.

huh, I only cut myself with fresh and sharp razors. once they've dulled a bit (after 2x use) they're fine. It's those cheap one blade plastic things though.
