quote: ORIGINAL: Aileen1968 I was on vacation in Cape Cod and was enjoying way too many margaritas at the house. Was putting together a antipasto platter and was slicing the skin of off the dried Italian sausage. Stupid me was slicing towards my hand instead of away from it and the knife amazingly [:)] decided to jump off of the sausage and right into the webbing of my hand between the thumb and forefinger. Went in about a good inch. Spent the next five hours at the emergency room getting stitches. I did this very same thing when carving a pumpkin, and I hadn't had margaritas. A couple years later, I did it again to my index and middle finger whilst trying to separate Steak-ums with a sharp knife. Still hadn't had margaritas. I was wondering if Holly was going to post on this thread, cause we might need a little extra bandwidth, just sayin'.

Well, i think the stupiest was when i was a kid living on the farm. We had milk cows and that meant the barn needed cleaning, which i didnt mind doing from time to time since it got me out of the house and away from the rest of my family... So i was using the pitch fork and had to put it down, i layed it flat on the ground with the tines pointed up, as i did that i thought to myself that i really should turn it over with the tines pointing down but then thought, naw, i am too smart to hurt myself by walking into it, especially since i know its there... when i came back to pick it up to use it again, i misjudged my steps and walked right into the pitch fork tines.. (ouch!) [sm=banghead.gif] Only one tine got me so i had just one owie but i still have a faint scar from that.. and i have learned my lesson and listen better to the wise/prudent inner voice and not the devil/dummy inner voice.. [:D]

Thats just classic.

MistressEllen444 -> RE: The Stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (9/26/2011 9:19:41 AM)
On the subject, let's just say the story is too long to type here but involved fire, drink, smoke and me running around naked in front of all the open windows at 3 am (lights on, of course), waving a large towel in the air to get the smoke alarms to shut up. Knocked myself unconscious at some point too. Now a very laughable story, no harm done to any persons, animals or property.

tolovetolaugh -> RE: The Stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (9/26/2011 9:49:54 AM)
I am not hurt, but my feet just got very lotiony. I have happy feet and was playing with a bottle of lotion with them... twisting the cap and so on. Lets call it dexterity exercises. Well... I just forgot it was there and stepped on it. [sm=anger.gif]

SternSkipper -> RE: The Stupidest way you have hurt yourself (9/26/2011 9:52:07 AM)
When I was about 25 - 30, I had a business working green wood into furniture and farm tools similar to how the early etttlers of the northeast had 200 years before ... I forget what I was working on exactly, but it was something I had hollowed and was taking away more material from its inside by wedging a long shave in the head of a shving horse so I could sit in front of it with the piece in my hand and under pressure against the shave (think like a screwdriver blade is facing you with 12 inches of shaft exposed). it just so happened that I was waiting for a call from a guy who was going to buy 4 ladder back chairs from me for about $150 a piece. The Phone rang and I jumped to my feet from straddling the shaving horse and the tool went straight into my right thigh fron the front, stopping just past the bone. And of course, the horse released the tool. so now I am standing with a long thin steel tool jutting out of my leg about 8 inches doing the unhappy dance. I was alone, and it took me a good 10 minutes to get the balls to just pull that fucking thing out. See ya touch it and it feels like someone is trying to throw you against the ground by your femor[:D]. Eventually I decided "just do it" and really fucking huirt myself yanking it out. I plugged it with rolled up gauze and went to the ER. The only thing worse than the initial event was the cleaning and closing of the wound. I still have a nice 3/4 in dent in the front of my right thigh.

Deciding mid life that taking a job driving a truck for a living was a good idea.Everything that preceded this decision was soft and lacked any physical strain....why oh why did I do this....the result is my disability and chronic pain Trucks need to be loaded and unloaded....lol.

The stupidest way I ever hurt myself went like this... Small dwarf rabbit came into rescue, just under 2 pounds of rabbit, teensy guy. He resembled a stuffed animal. He had been a very friendly rabbit for the first two weeks, no signs of aggression. I was holding him, had him in my hands, on his back. I was cooing at him. He opened his teensy mouth in a threatening manner. For some really dumb reason, I laughed at him, asked, "Oh, is the itty, bitty, baby bunny gonna bite me?" I then, put my face, right against his. He did what any self-respecting (and angry) rabbit would do, and chomped me right on the end of my nose. It has now become a joke amongst the volunteers. Itty, bitty, baby bunnies that threaten to bite, probably bite. I am lucky not to have a scar as even teensy rabbits have large teeth.

Sigh so many accidents... Probably the most embarrassing and certainly the hardest to explain is the time I wiped out in my kitchen. I landed hard on my side and developed a huge (5-6 inches) red and purple bruise. The worst thing is that I hadn't even slipped on anything; at least if there had been water or a piece of paper I would have had an excuse.

Master is a musician and has several guitars in cases around the house. He has a super-hard case for his precious Stratocaster and had slid it up under the bed ALMOST far enough. I got up in the middle of the night to hurry to the bathroom and rammed my right foot right into the case at full speed. I broke three toes. I wouldn't say that was stupid of ME, though[8D] He's always been super careful to not leave the precious thing sticking out so far anymore. Hey, at least there wasn't even a scratch or dent on it........luci

There is a game, I have not the name in mind, wherein the aim is to stab a knife between one's fingers as rapidly as one is able. I was, along with some friends, playing this game of an afternoon when I was but young, and my concentration was not as it should be for such a game. The result was that the knife was firmly placed through my hand and into the table. It may be that it was this moment when it began to be clear to me that the way of masochism was not mine. [:D] Be at peace Aneka

My most stupid was when I was 14. I went offroading with My dad and some of My friends. I thought a friend of one of My friends sisters was cute, so I decded to show off. I was doing "doughnuts', wheelies, and endos on the quad runner I was on and pulled out of one of the doughnuts and tried to do an endo to quickly. The quad went up on the left front tire. I was thrown over the handle bars and to the left. I put out My hands to stop Myself from doing a face plant on the dirt, and landed awkwardly. I snapped My left thumb and mangled My right little finger.

MyMasterStephen -> RE: The Stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (9/26/2011 4:31:30 PM)
I don't recall how young I was, but I WAS young... Dad had bought a stapler - just a normal office paper stapler - and I'd never seen one before. I was playing with it, trying to see how it worked, and suddenly it stapled. I had pressed it whilst holding the "business end", and managed to staple together the tips of both my forefingers... Of course, in such a situation, I wasn't able to extricate myself. Mum and dad could barely contain their laughter as they rescued me. It didn't hurt that much, but boy was I embarrassed.

After a tiring day I decided to fall back onto my bed and simply lay there to relax. I also accidentally left the television remote under the covers when making it that morning. It wasn't very fun.

Iamsemisweet -> RE: The Stupidest way you have hurt yourself (9/26/2011 6:09:29 PM)
I was in Rome. I had just seen a woman walking very gracefully through a cobblestone piazza in a pair of stiletto heeled boots. I was commenting, very quietly, to my travel companion that if I tried to walk around in Rome in a pair of boots like that, I would break my neck. That very second, I happened to step with both feet into a large plastic ring that had been left on the street. Don't know what it was, but the streets of Rome are pretty littered. I tripped and fell on my face, right in front of the woman with the stiletto boots. Maybe it wasn't stupid, but it was certainly ironic.
