quote: HA! You're just as clumsy as I am Zeph, admit it!! Denying it would be pointless, the more or less permanent bruises tell another story. Oh, I remembered another one. One day I was walking down the street, head turned to watch some dumbass who was in his car inching through a red light. Finally I turned my head back to face forward and SMACK right into a telephone pole. What I would have done to be able to just sink into the ground I was so embarrassed. There was a good sized bruise on my cheekbone for quite a while afterwards.

Riding my bike when I was about 15 or so, going past the lane of parked cars. Idiot didn't look back before he opened his driver door. I went flying over it and ended up in the middle of the street, lucky not to get run over. Main St Ottawa is not the place to have that happen! [8D]

Or the time I jumped off this bridge into the river ( something we had done thousands of times before ), misjudged where I jumped and landed on rocks. Broke my leg in two places. Everyone already knows about the time my late husband stabbed me. There was another time that I walked through a glass door because I was so angry at him I forgot it was there. Or the many times that I have had stitches in my hands because I got lost in the pain while pounding on a punching bag. I have so many stupid incidents in my past [&:] Why was you runnen from the cops, Misty?? Ailey

Underage drinking, gun possession, loitering ( lol which actually covers a wide range of offenses )...AND, they had a warrant for my arrest for a previous gun possession that I umm, kind of forgot to show up in court for. I was not a nice teenager [:o]

I was ironing. It was one of those older, really heavy irons, too. Set the iron on the board. Then bumped into the board. Hot iron fell off the board, and landed on its (hot) edge right on the knuckle of my big toe. I'm surprised I didn't break it. Toe was huge, purple and burned. Had to call into work and explain why I was late. Another time I broiled a steak in the oven (under the broiler, of course). Removed pan with steak from oven and set it on the stove. Removed steak from pan and set it on a plate. Decided to sautee some spinach and garlic. Decided to use the pan that had just come out of the oven. Gripped the handle. 3 hours later, my entire left hand was wrapped, Michael Jackson style, with 2nd degree burns (palm and all five fingers). Another time I was simply walking into the kitchen. Because I'm a klutz, I spontaneously fell, knocking my elbow and then chin into the side of the counter. Thankfully no body parts broke. Thankfully, no one was there to witness it. Most embarrassing was helping a former boss, who was the president of the company, at his computer. He needed some info that was on my computer so I rushed out of his office to get it. I tripped over his computer bag and saiiiiiled through the air across his office, landing face down on the floor and slid into the wall, face first. Body OK. Ego broken.

[8D] Oh yes I have had many of those moments-you just want to hide or die or never ever be seen by another human again ever! I don't know why we as humans are built to feel that way, other animals feel no shame! I am actually thinking of one that had several co workers carrying me out and taking me to the hospital for xrays... lemme just say this, when going to get things to clean up spilled liquid it is best to walk AROUND not THROUGH said liquid spill because liquid on the floor is known to be slippery... DOH! [sm=injured.gif]

When I had my brain tumour removed they replaced the removed part of my skull with a plate held in by 3 screws. I was warned to be careful of that area particularly due to my skin being so thin following radiotherapy etc. I was very careful and when getting my hair cut I did not let them wash my hair in just in case. Our workshop has an upper level held up by 6 metal posts. One evening I came down the stairs as I have done many many times and somehow lost my footing nearly at the bottom. Of course I managed to find the nearest post to the bottom of the stairs and hit the post smack on the side of the head where the plate is. So off I went to the hospital in an ambulance and strapped to a board with a neck brace on. Scans and X-rays showed I did not have a broken neck as suspected. Next time I was back in the workshop we all looked to see if we could work out how it could have happened. Logically we could not see how I could have hit the post in the first place, and by tripping I should have hit the right side of my head not the left where the plate is. Only I could be that stupid to hit the one place on my head I shouldnt.

You guys arent going to believe what I just did... I was moving one of those fruit cup things, you know the ones that are completley flimsy plastic and have that little snap together fork in the lid? Well I was moving it to get something behind it and I lifted it from under the lid lip... wouldnt you know the little fucker bit me!! A the thin plastic gave me a paper (or plastic) cut!!

DOH! [sm=injured.gif] OK why do the most humiliating injuries occur at work? Just remembered, years ago, I went to the warehouse with our facilities manager. As I was getting into the passenger seat of her car, a huge gust of wind blew, and slammed her door shut - on my head. My head was seriously bonked between the frame of the car and the door, and I literally fell into the car in a painful daze. She laughed her ass off until she realized I was actually hurt (big bump on both sides of my head) and we both laughed through my painful tears as she drove me back to the office. I laid down because I was dizzy and the HR manager had to come fill out an injury report. She was this really cute lady, from Egypt, with a very thick accent. So I'm lying there and she says, in her massively thick Egyptian accent, "You have a hemotoba to the head?" at which point I burst out laughing all over again. I ended up having to go to ER. Because a car door slammed shut on my head. My hemotoba to the head. [8D]

I just remembered something that happened over 10 years ago at the first job I ever had on the books, I worked in a gorcery store and that day I was the one helping to put out the new shipment. I donned my apron proudly and took the box cutter... OPEN box cutter, from my coworker point first into my palm! X_x

But I did meet someone at the entrance of ER while I was waiting for my dad to pick me up. Too bad he showed up as quickly as he did DAMMITALL!!!! [8D]

There were three steps down from the lobby to the dining room. I was leading some elderly ladies to their table. Just as I said "Watch your step, ladies" I tumbled down the stairs.

[8D] I've had that happen to me, I would say that is the stupidest thing SOMEONE else could hurt you.... I ran my bicycle into the back of a car, while some hot babe and I made eye contact. Didn't even get a pity date out of that.
