What stupid ways have you injured yourself.

Inspired by the fact that I knocked a fork off a table without noticing and then promptly stepped on it and impaled it in my foot.

Nothing serious but I KEEP hitting my arm on every doorhandle ever. I'm not usually a klutz but I currently have a big bruise on my arm from doing so AGAIN yesterday. I do not understand. I SEE them and STILL. :/

I don't know if you'd consider it stupid, but I was in color guard in high school, and the number of times I miscalculated where the flag was coming down and it hit right on the noggin....I'd probably be able to count them if I hadn't been hit in the head so often. XD

I used to buy natural peanut butter, the kind you have to constantly stir up because the oil separates, and comes in a big heavy glass jar. I kept it in the fridge where it would get really thick and dense and hard to scoop out. One day I yanked the spoon so hard, the jar smacked into my face and broke off half my front tooth.

That was a fun day.

I kneed myself in the face one day putting on my slippers, so I had a bizarrely placed bruise on my face for a few days.

I also sneezed while shaving once and had to hop out of the shower for a plaster big enough for the patch of skin I skimmed off. Thankfully it was superficial damage, but it was a large area and bled a lot.

Cut my index finger down to the bone cutting cheese for dinner.

Put a nail through the bottom of my shoe/foot because I didn't see it.

Tripped on my porch and broke my thumb and didn't know it was broken for 3 months.

Dropped a 5lb weight on my finger, crushing it against a second weight, while putting them back on the shelf in a store because someone had left them in the middle of an aisle.

Concussed myself on a ceiling because my friend screamed (over a toad which I didn't know at the time) so I went running and didn't know the ceiling beams were low in that storage area.

Blew out my left knee at bowling camp.

Scarred my shoulder by stabbing it accidentally with my thumbnail putting a bra on.

Put my teeth through my lip when I tripped up the stairs. The day before our family photo day, so that's forever memorialized in my parents' hallway. xD

Honestly, I am a disaster and it's genuinely surprising I'm still alive.

Not an actual injury, but while playing softball at school, I once bent over to catch a ground ball and got the laces of my catching mitt entangled with the laces of my trainer and couldn’t stand up again.

I once walked off the side of a factory roof because my brother assured me there was a balcony just below the roof ledge I could step down onto. There was not. He straight up Wile E Coyoted me off that thing.

Used a rolling desk chair as a step stool and promptly face planted as soon as I stood up.

When I was in college we had these huge metal easels. I pinched a finger in one and we had to get the first aid kit from the ceramics floor, lol.

I have a scar on my chin from picking up some garbage in my yard that had a piece of glass on it. :/

I've also pulled a muscle in my neck/shoulder several times by taking my jacket off in my car. The joys of getting old.

I tore my muscle in my leg skipping across the house to the kitchen to get food. If I had just walked like a normal adult it probably never would have happened.

When I was about 3-4 years old, I was playing with the kitchen door hinge for some unknown reason and my poor unsuspecting mother accidentally shut the door without realizing that I still had my finger on the hinges.

I had to go to the hospital and ended up with the top of my middle finger amputated.

Once, not long before school picture day, we were toasting marshmallows in the yard, using sticks. My stick was a lot more flexible than I had realized and when my marshmallow caught on fire, I moved the stick toward me so that I could blow out the marshmallow. Instead, the marshmallow swung right into my chin. Burning sugar is never a good thing to have in contact with your skin but stuck to your skin, it is so awful. Anyway, for picture day, I had a barely scabbed-over burn the size of a nickel on my chin.

I am not a morning person, at all, and in college, I had gotten up and dressed for a morning class, and then I laid down on the short couch of our suite living room, with my legs hanging over the arm and dozed for longer than I should have. So, when I registered the time, I jumped up, on somewhat numb legs, and collapsed down when my ankle went sideways. My ankle was sore, but didn't seem to be broken or even strained or anything (I don't understand it, but I'm grateful), I did, however, get a huge painful bruise down the right side of the top of my foot. The sprinkles on the sundae of my misfortune were that my suitemate's boyfriend witnessed the whole thing. And the cherry on top? It was my birthday.

used my sister's rollerblades in the house when I was 6 and fell backwards, fractured my wrist

in almost the same vein, showing off at my sister's sleepover by trying to handstand backwards, did the other wrist

I once ran face first into a glass wall.

There was the time I drove a threaded needle though my big toe, backwards.

Several burns, the two worst were a 2nd degree one when I was around 14 because I rode as a passenger on my dad's Harley and got off on the wrong side and seared a good chunk of my leg on the hot exhaust pipe. And another one that was a third degree burn on my thumb, which was small but ridiculously deep (almost down to the bone) because I accidentally dripped burning plastic on it.

Cut myself on a bag of chips from the health food store (although, tbf, partially the manufacturer's fault).

I cut my thumb with a butter knife in high school. It was shortly before one of the homecoming parades, so playing sax was super fun.

Hovered over my sleeping sister in hopes of scaring her when she woke up. It worked and she jabbed me in the eye in her panic. I backed up quickly and stepped in a wooden doll cradle, which broke under my weight and impaled my heel with a rusty nail. The whole thing is funny in retrospect at least.

I also bent over to pick up a DVD case from a chair and slipped a disc, but that wasn't as funny because it wasn't my fault I inherited a shitty back.

Broke my ankle walking down a hill with my dog on a lightly snowy day, because I decided it wasn't snowy enough to wear snow boots and wore my rain boots instead, and let the dog decide we were going down the hill (when I was at the hospital the nurses were like 'oh, what kind of dog?', clearly thinking a large breed, and I got to sheepishly reply that it was a 12 pound miniature poodle mix).

When I was 9 or 10, I was carrying our cat out of the room and failed to notice the door closed on the very tip of her tail. She went understandably insane and shredded my hands. 20 years later, I still have two little puncture scars between my fingers and a short one on my wrist. Still feel awful about it, she must have been terrified. I was a very absent minded kid.

ran down a pier and got a telephone pole sized splinter in my foot (I was a kid)

I stapled my finger at work one time. Not only I've managed to pierce my finger pad I've also secured a clip. Inside my finger. Yeah, it was painful to pull out. Luckily I worked in a factory at that time so everyone were really chill about injuries
