Lordandmaster said: quote: No, that's not the stupidest way to hurt yourself. The stupidest way to hurt yourself is called Polish darts. You hold the dart up at your forehead, and start running as fast as you can toward the target. Me and some friends actually played this once (I can only plead youth). You should have seen us trying to explain to the paramedics how my friend got a dart stuck in his forehead (for the record, we did try to tell the drunken idiot that the pointy end is supposed to face toward the dart board). Anyway, it definitely falls into my top ten list of stupid things I have done, or as I prefer to call them: really memorable life lessons. My friend, by the way, is fine although he does have a tiny circular scar right in the middle of his forehead. As for stupid ways in which I have hurt myself... well... there are just so many to choose from. I recently posted one on another thread but that thread got pulled, so I’ll guess I’ll try again here. In my youth I did much, shall we say... experimenting... on various substances – Including LSD. The first two times were really cool but as for the third time... I was camping in the woods with some friends. We were sitting around a campfire (ingesting various legal and illegal substances) and I was enjoying my third LSD trip. It started out good. I was really grooving to how the fireflies were leaving multicolored trails of light behind them. Then the trip went bad. The fireflies turned into these little winged demons with razor sharp teeth who wanted to eat my penis. My poor friends ended up having to chase my screaming ass all through the woods. Although I don’t remember it, I ended up running headlong into a tree and knocking myself out. I spent a few days in the hospital with a concussion. Although it had been a terrifying experience at the time, I can laugh at it now and don’t mind others laughing at it either. I mean, come on, a man running through the woods screaming because evil fireflies want to eat his penis? How can you not laugh? And yes folks, the was the last time I ever did LSD. Like I said, really memorable life lessons.

When I was about 15, and heavily into model airplanes, after starting the engine, I reached to remove the connection from the glow plug. Instead of reaching around from the back, I reached in THROUGH the propellor. I still have the scars from that one ![sm=ofcourse.gif]

I can't top many of the posters, but I do have quite a few stupid moments. So I'll share this one. I was a radio technician in the Marines. One of the radio systems we had was a 2,000 watt transmitter, SSB ( single side band) radio. So we are on an exercise in Norway. I knew better, but when a call comes about a radio net being down, first thing through a tech's mind is get them up and talking. Anyhow, I was told the radio wasn't "transmitting". I checked to make sure the thing was turned "on" (radio operators....very dumb, lol). So instead of turning the radio off, after checking a few other things, I went to see if the antenna elements were all screwed together. I found that to be the problem, and it's pouring rain, it's just above freezing, and I'm screwing the elements together. Doing so, I shouted to the operator, "It's so cold, I almost want to go ski." What the operator hear was..."It's a go, I want you to key." Meaning, key the radio....and this operator new that in SSB, you had to talk, as well as this system had a VOX (voice operated transmit) transmission. So the operator keys the radio, while doing a radio check...and 2,000 watts of radio power sent me about ten feet, as I still had my hands on the antenna. Luckily, my field boots provided just enough insulation from ground, otherwise...I wouldn't be sharing this story.

Every time I visit My father's house and have to use the bathroom, I end up smacking My face on the sink. I'm a long-legged woman, so sitting down to pee means bending and then lowering Myself onto the toilet. The sink is RIGHT in front of the toilet, without even enough room to walk (you literally have to step over the toilet to get to the tub). So down I go, and my face goes SMACK into the porcelaine. Ouch. wince You'd think I'd have figured a different way to do this, since I grew up in this house. But noooo. I've been doing it since I was ten years old, really.

I've had some doozies, but this one happened about 58 years ago.. yes you read that right! I'm 60 and it happened when I was 2... some of you may remember, or seen in a history book, the lawn mowers that people acually pushed! and the blades spun around.. well, the neighbour kids were spinning the wheel on the mower, sticking their fingers in real quick-like and out! They were a lot older than me... 4 and 5.. lol.. so I had to try too... but they forgot to tell me that you had to pull your finger OUT... REAL FAST!!! at 2 yrs old, I guess the bone doesn't go all the way to the end of your finger, cause the doc sewed mine back on... I still have a scar, and the skin is kinda funny there.. but I have a full size finger still.... Maybe I'll save the story about the dog, his blind eye, and my 47 stitches for another time. J

I was about 16 years old, I worked for a local fast food chain. I was put to task pressure washing the parking lot. The pressure washer was this huge gas run rip cord started monster. I stopped to go pee or something and when I went back out to start the machine back up, I reached down to "set my body" to pull the rip cord and dropped my left hand right on to the exhaust system of the #$#%$ machine and burned my hand terribly. My hand immediately curled up because I burned all the skin on my palm.

When My sister was about 18 months old, My mom was cooking dinner and she was wandering around in her walker.. well, My dad and grandma were arguing about something and My sister had been gripping the hinge-side of the door, with her little bitty middle finger in there. My grandma slammed said door and cut the tip of My sister's finger off. Twelve hours in the ER, four people to hold the screaming kid down, and emergency surgery to sew the end of her finger back on. Now she's 18, and the end of her finger LOOKS like something happened to it. It's about a quarter inch shorter than her other middle finger, and she has no feeling whatsoever in it. Ouch!

Age 4: We were going somewhere special, and I was really excited, running through the house. SMACK straight into the nice sharp edge where the walls come together. Needless to say, we went to the ER instead. Seven stiches and I still have the scar. Age 20: Coming home from a date in the wee hours, caught my high heel on the front porch, put my hand out to stop myself and put it through the glass front door. I get up, hand bleeding and the knees of my hose ripped up. The noise woke up my parents, who come out to find me standing in the entry way bleeding. My mom starts screaming at me to get into the bathroom, and I'm being all calm and telling her to get me a towel so I don't bleed on the carpet. Fast forward to the emergency room. It's 3 am, and I'm laying in one of the rooms waiting to be sutured. Was there 3 1/2 hours because a car accident came in just after I did. So I'm lying there in my denim mini skirt and ripped hose with the door open for all this time waiting to get stitched up. Very embarresing for me. Took seven stitches and had no feeling in part of my hand for about six months. I have also broken my right arm twice (roller skating and slipping on ice), sprained my ankle (fell down the steps of the school bus) and cut up my knee dumping my bike on a gravel road. (had to have gravel tweezed out of my knee). I have cut myself too many times to count, fallen both up and down stairs on numerous occasions and am usually covered in bruises from banging into something. A klutz I was born and a klutz I shall die. boundkitty

J I've read an article that indicated children up to around two years of age still have limited regenerative capabilities. "Up to about age 2, people can consistently regrow fingertips, says Dr. Stephen Badylak, a regeneration expert at the University of Pittsburgh." ~ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17171083/wid/11915773/ As for my stupidest moments... they all seem to happen in the kitchen. I just don't belong in one it looks like. Burns here, there and everywhere. I was working at a grocery store in the bakery and deli. And the timer had just gone off signaling that I needed to pull a load of bread from the oven. I can only find one glove and I figure that's good enough to just reach in and pull the cart out. I throw the door open and reach in with the other hand, beginning to ease the cart out. The door comes back at me and I instinctively throw up an arm to brace the door. That did NOT smell like baking bread. More like cooked goose. Another time I was in the kitchen at home and I'd decided I really wanted some cookies. Fresh baked, melt in your mouth goodness. I grabbed one of those pre-packs and placed the cubes on a baking sheet. The timer goes off, and in my excitement I just say to hell with pot holders altogether! Down comes the oven door... in go my hands. I realize what I've done... drop the tray. And I end up being too pig-headed to let the cookies fall all over the floor. So I catch it with my elbow... as though that's going to make a difference! I managed to get the tray onto the top of the stove, but not without feeling like an absolute moron in the process.

oh kitchen makes me think...I have three scars on my fingers where I have severely cut myself...once cutting potatoes and missed, once on the serrated edge of an industrial size box of aluminum foil and another because I cut my finger with kitchen shears when cutting through something else... Last year, just about this time of the year our air conditioner died so while we were waiting to have it fixed I had a big round fan at the bottom of my stairs pushing the air from the cool basement up. I was walking down the stairs in the dark one night and tripped (who knows how) but I was so afraid as I fell down the stairs I'd shove my fingers in the high speed fan at the bottom of the stairs I contorted in a strange manner and hit my shin on the bottom riser. I had a bruise/bump that was at least 1/2 high and 2 inches in diamater immediately. It hurt so bad I couldn't stand on my leg and by the next morning my entire leg (and I've got long legs) from my knee to my ankle was bruised and the bump was easily 2 inches around and 3/4 of an inch high. To this day I still have a bruise on my shin that hurts when touched.

I was about 14 at the time and put a clothspin into a light socket because I wanted to see what would actually happen. [&:]

Lordandmaster -> RE: The stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (5/27/2007 6:23:12 PM)
I remember posting a story about a roofer who nailed himself to a roof with a nail gun--through his balls! I think that is the stupidest way to hurt yourself.

goodlittlegirl28 -> RE: The stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (5/27/2007 6:46:04 PM)
i was a senior in high school. a friend and i were trying to get to a surprise party faster than the guest of honor, only the passenger door of her car didn't close. normally i would wind the seatbelt through the handle and buckle myself in, but in the excitement i forgot. she was driving like a maniac, and each time she turned i tried to hold the door with one hand, her with the other hand, and brace my feet as i'd start to slide in the leather seat. when we arrived infront of the house i relaxed, only she decided to make a quick turn and i slid right out of the car and skidded along the street like a cartoon character.

kind of like you MS, I took a pan out of a 450 degree oven, put the pan down, took off the potholder, then turned right around and tried to pick it up again. smart, huh? the bummer was that I was 8 1/2 pg with my first um, and I couldn't take any painkiller...

chicagochick -> RE: The stupidest way you ever hurt yourself (5/27/2007 7:35:53 PM)
Well mine is a lot less dramatic (or scary/painful) then some of these, but still dumb. One summer when I was 13 or so I was coming home from softball and rushing to get dressed to go play basketball. So, being in a hurry (and being dumb) I started taking my pants off WHILE going up the stairs. Because somehow....this was going to save me a lot of time....Anyway, I somehow managed to get about 3/4 way up the stairs before I took a step, my pants caught around my ankles and I took a nose dive straight down on to the (thankfully carpeted) steps. I didn't break anything but managed to give myself a couple nice big marks where my forearms and knees hit the stairs. Oh, and of course upon hearing the sudden thud one of my cousins came rushing in to find me on the stairs, pants down and trying to crawl up the last few steps. Very dignified :)

I can't remember how many stiches, but I do remember that needle... and yup, I've still got the scar.
