I don't know if its the stupidist, but, everyone seems to get a good laugh.

When mys onw as about 13mothns old, I went to grab his sippy cup from the table, well, the recliner had other plans, I was barefoot {no surpries there}, and my baby toe went on one side of the leg, and the other 4 on the other side, I dislocated my baby toe at a 90degree angle. {skip head} The doctor got my toe back in place and barely missed getting hit {I can be VERY strong}, I had cracked thre bone the length of my foot, and done a LOT of damage, I was on crutches for 6 weeks, and my office thought I was joking when I said I could 'not walk for 2 weeks or put any pressure on the foot in question' [my right foot]

Moral.. toes are VERY imoprtant. My baby toe STILL has never gone back to how it was, the things we endure for our children, sheesh. Oh, my son DID get his sippy cup.

I think my Mother was prophetic when it came to my hurting myself. She would say "don't do that, you will get hurt", and of course, I would ...........

Don't throw the hose down on the ground ... darned if that spray gun nozzle (of course it was metal) didn't bounce on the grass and come right back up and smack me right above the eye - it took years for my eyebrow to grow back properly.

Don't use the mandolin (veggie slicer) without the guard ... sure enough, the zucchini stayed put and my pinky went right over the blade, trip to the ER, lost part of my finger and six stitches later I was on the way home, comforting my oldest brother who was totally freaked! lol

Don't slide down that coal shute ... un huh, have a nifty scar on my knee (slid down the shute into a huge pile of coal) to remember that one by.

Don't play in the car trunk ... I was probably five and a neighbor kid and I were messing around in the open trunk, he slammed the lid down, forgot to say "look out" and sliced off the top of my middle finger. I was fine until my Mother saw what I was holding in the palm of my hand - yep, the tip of my finger, she freaked and of course, so did I and so did the kid. Yep, nice trip to the ER that was too. We were living in France and had to drive about 2hrs to get to the nearest Army hospital.

Of course, Mom started it all anyway ... I was only a few months old. Family was on a sight seeing trip in Arizona. Mom tripped in a gopher hole and wheee I went flying out of her arms and right into the Colorado river! My Dad had to jump in and save me. It was all down hill from there. LOL

(quick reply to OP)

Ever have a pair of comfy, ratty PJs? I did until I tripped on the hem of said PJs. And had nowhere good to fall (the choice was the lamp/end table or the glass front of the fireplace). Destroyed the lamp with my arm. Sprained/jammed/broke a finger, and later found that I broke the arm.

Still went on a business trip the next morning, and was not amused.

My story dosen't compare to many here but about a week ago I was getting into a friends truck blindfolded and banged my head on the roof, got a good sized bump on my head and brusied ego.

A year and a half ago my then boyfriend went to smack my ass and I tried to block his hand with mine except he hit my middle finger and it huuuuuuurt, swelled up to twice its size immediately, think I broke the knuckle, it still isnt straight and is still sensitive.

When I was 3 my mom was opening a can of peaches for me and she had it about half open when the phone rang, she went to answer it and smart kid that I was I thought I could stick my fingers into the top of the can and pry the top off. Don't really remember the pain but have some scars on my fingers from stitches. My mom was not amused.

I was just learning to walk I went to follow her stumbled rolled out of the camper down the camper steps down the hill we where parked on and stoped right in front of my dad who was at the table at the bottom of the hill!!!

it's something i do at least once or twice a night while at work.....when i'm bored, i cross stitch...it's like embroidery....i pull the thread out of the needle, go to stick the needle in my mouth, and inevitably end up sticking it in my lip instead! How i can miss the mouth and hit the lip in the same, identical spot every time is beyond me!

Another favorite is to leave a cupboard door open while working, and end up banging into it.....put quite a few holes in my head doing that....than goodness it's rock hard!

Drank some wine (okay okay it was the whole bottle) at home, by Myself... really not a good idea. When I went off to bed, I sat down on the side of the bed and for some reason that still evades Me, I stood up quickly... I am 6', the height of the 4 poster bed was just below that... thus knocked Myself out.... I awoke slumped on the side of the bed; kind of kneeling with My torso slumped on the mattress. The next day I was not acting "normal". My boss asked Me what was wrong and why My head was bruised... lol
Trip to the ER revealed a concussion.
Do I win the prize?

as an operating room nurse one of my tasks on the weekend shift was to run the autoclave to make sure everything was running properly. the first (and only) time I was in charge I was so overwhelmed with all the things to do that I forgot to put on a special mitt to dig the test vial out of the autoclave. very painful steam burns to my right hand - so much for work and straight to emerg. got all bandaged up and went home. over the next few days my hand swelled so much that I couldn't move my fingers. as my name implies I am a pianist - and I was scared! Not to mention that a few days later I started a new 9 week intensive nursing class - unable to even write my name!

and no - I haven't done that again

Two days ago I was working on a storage building at my sister's place. I tripped over a board that I had taken off the old building and in my excellent intelligence and logic....but mostly out of reflex....kicked the end of the board. As it turns out the board had a half driven nail sticking out of the exact spot my right big toe hit. My shoes offered little protection as the head of the nail crushed the end of the shoe and with it my big toe. I now have a wonderful shard of bone stabbing the soft and nerve end filled tip of my toe. I'm scheduled for surgery in two days. And worst of all that building was only half complete.

After a game of intense chess with an old roommate (the game went-- lose a piece, do a shot of vodka... I lost... badly.) I went out on the porch for a ciggy. I felt a little stinging pain on the back of my hand, but paid it no mind.. until I could smell burning flesh...
I looked down to realise I had been holding the cigarette against the back of my hand for Goddess knows how long. Funnily, it didn't really really hurt until after I noticed it...

I still have the scar.. definately stupidity at it's finest.

...next time I suggest you play by the rules "take a piece, take a shot"- it evens out the playing field much better

I stepped on a fishing hook and impaled it in the bottom of my foot, necessitating a visit to the E.R. to have it removed. Did I mention this happened in the KITCHEN!

The stupidest way I ever hurt myself.....

I was in the 5th grade. Summer was nearing a end...school has already started down in Jacksonville Fla and life was great. Out running around barefooted as usual. I stepped on something that impaled itself into my foot. But of course having summer feet.... I never felt a thing till later that night. Showing it to my mother and seeing that it was forming into a nice puss blister... she said go get me a needle and proxide. I hand the bottle to her...and went to sit down in front of you when my ass landed on my right thumb (hense sitting around with your thumb up your ass...lol). I screamed in bloody plain... mom thought I sat on the needle at first till she seen it in my left hand.

She got me up and my thumb had already swelled 3 times it's side. I had sat down and bent it back to meet my wrist. Off to the ER for Xrays. Of course at NAS Jax they found nothing in Xrays and said not to use it for a few days. Ice packs etc... So I went to school not using right hand for few days.

Now what makes this enteresting.... A Month Later!!!!... i'm outside in PE class... we're playing Volley Ball... I serve with my right hand. I get called to office. Mom is there to take me back to the hospital. A specialist had read my Xrays...and I had a fracture running along side the bone in my thumb. They want to put a cast on it. More Xrays showed that over the past month of using my right hand and thumb.. the crack actually had moved along down towards my wrist. They said if they didn't cast it then... I would be damaged more and probably lose use of my right hand. For sure the thumb. 6 weeks in a cast around my hand all the way to my elbow... for a cracked bone that went unnoticed for over a month.

GOD I LOVE MILITARY DOCTORS.........lol...(sarcasm there folks...

I dont post often but figured what the heck!! so here we go
1. age 11 poking holes in potatoes to cook in the microwave, used a knife to do it quicker, stabbed the potato and went all the way through, and out the other side of my hand.
2. age 16 coming home from a date was running late to get in the house (Rules not on the front porch, not in the driveway, but my butt actually int he house by 11pm) fell up the stairs, ended up in the hospital with stitches on my forehead from hitting the brick steps
3. Age 29, ex husband was deployed, had no one to cook thanksgiving for, so went and volunteered to take a few soldiers from bootcamp into my house, was cooking, turned, slammed my toe into the cabinet, broke my toe.. finished cooking, best meal they ever had they claimed.
Ok mine not so funny, but the best i ever saw was my dad, we lived in a two story house, and in the winter, he would come downstairs, get my twin sister and me up for school, getting the wood stove going (no central heat) then go back upstairs to get my mom and brother and other sister up for school.. ( Guess we took longer) anyway he was coming back down, and slipped on the stairs about mid way down and went on his butt the entire way, jump up soon as he got the the bottom, looked my sister and i yelled at us for leaving things on the stairs... my sister and i waited till he went into the bathroom, ran and looked at the staircase, nothing was there, not even dust... we laughed till we cried... LOL yea my dad still doesnt like us mentioning it :P
