Subject: Share you stupid injury stories
Written By: wsmith4 on 12/13/07 at 8:27 am
When I was about 15, I pulled a few muscles in my neck and had to wear a neck brace for several days because I was flailing my head around, dancing like Madonna does in front of the choir in her "Like a Prayer" video.
STUPIDEST INJURY EVER.

When I was around 15 years old (haha..it must be the age, I think)...I was hurrying to open the door of our clubhouse, that I didn't notice that my right hand was placed on the window..and just as I was about to pull the door open....someone from the inside pushed the door..and my hand/arm went right through the glass...OUCH! Needless to say, I needed a bunch of stitches.

A pick up truck with a bunch of JV football players in the bed of the truck stopped on top of my foot during a parade--all so I could get some tootsie rolls Micah had saved for me. No broken bones, but it took 6 weeks for the swelling to go down so that I could wear shoes.

Let's see...where do I begin?
Last year I walked around the corner in my apartment into this room, my arm swung around and hit the corner and ripped my fingernail off. It hurt like the dickens for awhile, but was fascinating to watch grow back.
A little wooden box fell off the top of one of my bookcases, hit me in the head and gave me a bump. Yeah that bookshelf was cleared of all stuff from the top of it soon after. lol
Burned my hand on the oven door a couple times.
When I was a child, we were playing hide and seek, I was a dummy and hid behind the clothes dryer, and I accidently bumped up against the dryer from behind and got a big shock!

I was 14 and insisted my mom buy me bell bottoms,she did not want to but I begged and plead so she finally gave in, that very night I was going to my friends house, when her mom came I ran down the front steps, stepped on my bell bottoms,and landed face first on the front step,luckily I did not need stitches,but I had to listen to a lecture from my mom about safety, plus she was mad because the jeans ripped.
Then there was the famous "look mom no hands" incident when I ran my bike into a tree.

When I was about 5 I ran to open the front door I was wearing sandals and slide across the carpet into my father's box speaker... it required several stiches and I still have a scar in my left eyebrow.
In 1st or 2nd grade I was wearing overall/pants suit...it was the 70s... and somehow the zipper caught on my stomach and zipped with my skin all the way up (think There's Something About Mary without the franks & beans ;D )
When I worked at Toys R Us I had a box of skates fall on my head.
I threw my back out putting on sweats... don't ask me how cuz I don't know.

Wow here is a catergory for you! I have the worst ones I think. I have lots and lots of stupid injury stories.
Here is one example:
The tetherball had broken it's rope and I was putting a new one on it. The end of the rope was slightly frayed so I took my lighter and decided to melt it so it would fit better. I was wearing sandals and my foot was right under the part I was burning. It dripped and landed on the knuckle of my big toe, I looked down at what I had just done. Melting plastic on the knuckle of my big toe and said "ah sh*t, I can't believe I just did that." It left a perfectly circular scar.
I do have a much worse one that I will tell about later. It is the one that Hawk cracks up about to this day.

Pain is when your insensitive husband drives over a speed bump really fast and you're not wearing a bra. :P

I have a huge tolerance to pain. I watched the melted piece land on my foot, I never felt it. I just couldn't believe I had let myself get 1 more scar. I have plenty of them. Too many if you ask me. I have put my poor body through so much I don't even really know when I am hurt anymore, I just don't feel it.

It was christmas eve and I was out in London. We were walking through Picadilly Circus and some joker had thought it would be fun to take all the manhole covers off the drains. I was lucky because it was very icy that night so when one leg went down the manhole the other slid forward on the ice otherwise I would have spent christmas in hospital with broken bones. Of course all my friends were laughing so much they couldn't help me up. The bruises were spectacular and I did have to go and see the doctor about my leg. :-\\

When I was 8 I fell off my bicycle and skinned my elbow and knee because I got distracted by my neighbor's Yorkie yipping and yapping at me. :-[

Not an injury, but today I was coming into a room juggling several shopping bags and a roll of wrapping paper, and I didn't realize I was holding the wrapping paper horizontally, so when I tried to go through the doorway, the wrapping paper couldn't get through the doorframe and I slammed right into it... :-[
