Re:Really stupid injuries
I'm a clutz. I always bang my head on my desk when I want to (un)plug something (the sockets are under my desk). And I have a tendency to get my sleeve caught on door handles when I'm walking past them. It results in a sharp tug on my clothing which always hurts my arm. Not to mention smack myself in the face when I am trying to remove stubborn corks from wine bottles (yup, has happened more than once).
Re:Really stupid injuries
I always bang my hip into the doorknob. The door can be completely open too and I still bang my hip on it. To put my klutziness into perspective...I have a skinny ass so wide hips is no excuse. :-[
Also, sometimes when I drop something on the floor (butter fingers here) and bend down to pick it up, I'll whack my forehead onto the counter.
oh here's a great one that I've only done twice (luckily):
while vigorously lathering my face in the shower, my pinky finger jammed up my nostril. That was really painful (and even though I was alone I felt really stupid)
Re:Really stupid injuries
I have screwed up depth perception and should be wearing glasses but i refuse. I run into walls all the time!!!
I love to laugh at myself. But I don't laugh when I nearly fall in my shoes at work. That sucks.
Re:Really stupid injuries
Yup, queen of stupid injuries here - and not even really minor ones...last year caught my toe on a doorjam, broke it, couldn't wear boots for months, a few weeks ago slipped on the stairs while carrying very heavy bag of costumes & shoes, ended up in the splits halfway down the stairs and tore a muscle in my ass! Still can't sit for longer than an hour at a time cause it's so uncomfortable.
Re:Really stupid injuries
I broke my pinky toe once when I was young. My best friend and I got grounded, but we lived two houses away from each other. So we'd write letters about stupid shit going on.
Well she ran outside to get the letter, and I was so mad for being grounded, I kicked the gate (cheapy NJ gates) and broke it (mind you I was wearing flip flops) and I broke my pinky toe. LMAO
Speaking of butter fingers, I hate when I drop something, bend over to pick it up, only to have it slip out again... and again. This happened the other day. 3 times, I dropped the damn pen in front of everyone. ;)
edited to add: my grandmother never found out that I broke the gate, she thought it was some little thug rat who did it. hehehe Shhhhhhhh

This can only happen in a New York city apartment. My bathroom is so tiny that you could sit on the toilet, wash your hands in the sink, and soak your feet in the tub all at the same time if you so desired.
LOL!!! i hear that- my bathroom is that small too!!
i am a complete klutz.....i trip ALL the time, walking down the street, walking up stairs, anywhere.
when i was little my friend and i were riding our bikes and racing each other to get home. we were going really fast, and my friend turned a sharp corner to make a shortcut, and i, being a split second behind him, turned so sharply that my bike skid out of control and i flew headfirst off my bike and into the sidewalk. my bottom row of teeth went through my bottom lip..my face was all bloody...ohhh i felt like such an asshole. and at this point my friend was about a block away from me and thought he had left me in the dust. he finished his winning ride home while i walked my bloody self back home with a bike with bent up, not-circular-anymore wheel. ahhh, good times, good times. :paperbag:
Re:Really stupid injuries
Aww... geez... even if it's nailed down I run into it !!! :bump:
Re:Really stupid injuries
yet again....the latest being today...i was in a hurry and running up the escalator in the subway station and tripped, luckily catching myself with my hands. felt like an ass yet again..
Re:Really stupid injuries
This thread is priceless....
I just thought I would add to it.
There's a big chest at the foot of my bed. It's got drawers and stuff to put blankets in. I can't pick it up even to move it an inch, it's crooked for exactly this reason! It's way heavy.
I have to sleep on the side closest to the door in my room, if I have to walk around the bed I hit my knee/leg on the chest. Every time I go around the bed I hit it. And I mean every time....I think it's a curse. I have a perma-bruise on my thigh from hitting the corner of the chest.

Re:Really stupid injuries
my worst clutzy day was back in high school. from about 10 am to 3pm all i did was trip up and down stairs and run into walls and tables! finally i told my mom i'm going to lie down. she asked what happened. and i told her i fell. she said again?! lol :D
Re:Really stupid injuries
First a story from when I was like 7 or 8, my next door neighbor had just started riding a bike (w/ no training wheels)... so I decided to run on the grass along the street with her while she rode her bike..... then BOOM! I smacked the side of my face into a tree!
My latest boo-boo story is when i was getting out of the shower (maybe 2 wks ago) I had my eyes closed and i smacked the calf of my leg sooo hard against the toilet... I have the ugliest bruise and bump!
Another funny one... my 4 yr old cousin... I love her to death, but shes a spoiled brat... I'm babysitting for her, and while shes playing dress up (she had this princess dress on and this tiara on her head) she starts throwing a temper tantrum... I'm not sure what she wanted to do, but she slams her head on the ground and cut herself w/the tiara..... OK I sound mean!!! She didn't get hurt hurt, it was funny... maybe you had to be there......
Another funny one... me and my little sister were fighting when we were younger, I went to kick her, but I missed I kicked this iron shelfy thing we used to have, and broke my ankle....
Re:Really stupid injuries
Sapphire, your not the only one who's done that!
Ok the only two I can think of right now that I know EVERYONE'S done.
~Walked right into the closed sliding glass door. Broken my nose many a time doing that.
~When I was younger my dresser was across the room from my bed and my brother and I were jumping back and forth playing Power Rangers and I biffed right into the dresser head first. Split my head wide open.
