“From Faceplants to Fails: You Won’t Believe How These 43 People Managed to Hurt Themselves in Outrageously Dumb Ways!”
I once inverted a loft ladder into the loft, lay on it and said “thunderbirds are go”, released the latch and ejected myself out of the loft onto the concrete floor below.
Slipped a disk in my neck because my cat made me jump
Had the wind close an iron gate onto my head
Had a wasp fly into my face when I was standing at the top of the stairs and ended up at the bottom of the stairs a lot quicker than I would have liked
Tripped up on my own feet in an attic bedroom and ended up on the landing, fell 8 foot flat onto my back
When fishing I badly messed up a cast and got a hook stuck in my a**e cheek
Think I will stop there, or this post could go on for a while
Cut my hand on a broken, frozen chicken nugget.
Edit: This is by far the most upvoted comment I’ve ever made, so thanks.
My first job was in a chip shop. I had to get some nuggets out of one of the giant, overloaded and frosty stand up freezers. I plunged my hand into the box and when it came out there was blood everywhere. When I scraped some of the contents out, there was a nugget that had broken so had a glass shard-like edge.
I had to sit down for 5 minutes whilst the bleeding stopped. It seemed pretty daft at the time and it would appear that about a thousand people on the Internet seen to agree.
Paper cut both of my eyeballs when I was tickling my eyelashes with the edge of a magazine as I watched TV (why, I don’t know). Our dog next to me barked, made me jump which shoved the edges of the pages into my eyes.
I think the Dr at the hospital was even judging my stupidity.
Broke a light fitting and got an electric shock trying to remove it. Called and electrician, and showed him what the problem was by touching the fitting again.
Trying to be all arty farty and sharpening my pencil with a craft knife. Yes, I sliced open my thumb, fainted at the gushing blood, fell to the floor and stabbed myself.
I always use a pencil sharpener now.
