What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?

I have a scar on my left thumb from when I sliced it open trying to cut a chocolate chip in half with a butter knife.

No, I don't know why I thought that was a good idea.

The ex and I had been in a small bar in a gorgeous old Brownstone in Boston. It was his birthday, and we were out for a night on the town. I can't even describe the ceiling in this place...it was painted with cherubs and gold, and it was an amazing French Renaissance reproduction. There were marble floors, and the stairs were white marble leading up from the street.

We were walking out, and the ex pointed up JUST as I was stepping onto the marble stairs leading to the street, and he said, "Look!" And like an idiot I looked and kept walking...onto open air above the stairs.

I fell and broke my elbow. I had not yet learned that the ex was absolutely not my good pal.

oh ... not so long ago, I was trying to put a cartridge into my favourite fountain pen.. and the cartridges were cheapo rubbish and so they didn't pierce like they should.. so I had the bright idea of finding something really sharp and pointed to manually pierce the end of the cartridge.

I did think while doing this.. oh, it would be a really bad thing if the really sharp pointed knife were to slip.. .

And then it did! It went right into my thumb because it was very sharp and I was applying a lot of pressure. Half the depth of my thumb.. it wasn't pretty!

Walked into a pole when I wasn’t paying attention

Ran headfirst into a glass door trying to get indoors before it closed. And it was right below a security camera, too.

Broke my hand punching a steel door after getting laid off. Not as fun as a random injury story but definitely dumb as hell - I knew the outcome before I swung.

Running into a coat hook in the bwork bathroom as I was going to change my clothes from my bike ride in. Black and blue for a month

Rollerblading pretty fast backwards on an uneven sidewalk. Your humerus is not so funny when broken.

I was roller skating backwards, swinging my arms I guess, and got my thumb stuck in a vent on the wall, broke my wrist.

Tazering myself in the leg because I was testing it out of curiousity.

Turning over in bed. I pulled my back out.

Rolled over in bed and dislocated my shoulder.

Accidentally jabbing my finger in my eye.

Stitches in my finger from opening a can of cat food.

Breaking up another dog fight

Falling off a bicycle.
