What are the weirdest/dumbest ways you've gotten injured?

-I gave myself whiplash in an intense game of charades when I was 10. I had to wear a brace, and take pain meds for a few weeks.
-I once inadvertently ran into the corner of a dumpster in the summer of 4th grade, and needed stitches in my forehead.

in my 20's , one day at my house, i was coming in from my backyard through my kitchen's backdoor. i just washed my mom's car, and i throw my car's keys toward at the kitchen's counter. i missed the kitchen's counter, and the keys fell short of the counter, and fell to the ground. i went over naturally to pick up. i started to bend over and smacked my head really hard on the edge of the kitcken's counter. for a week, i had a mild concussion.

I once touched a hot iron that actually had a note next to it saying "Don't touch"
I was about 13 at the time.
My finger has a burn scar on it so I don't have a finger print now.

I don't drink alcohol anymore but when I used to, I once got so badly drunk, I stood on top of a chair in a bar whilst making a drunken speech about "freedom" and "respect" whilst taking shots with people and I fell off the chair when I went to take the shot after everyone cheered at me for my weird speech
I had a leg cast on for nearly a week and had to have surgery done. I had pins, screws and stitches but no scars that time.

1) stepping in front of the stick for the Xmas play as one boy went to whack the pinata, forehead got whacked instead
2) in a car accident, the trim/molding gashed my head, needed a shot (big needle) and
stitches in the top of my head
3) somehow ended up behind a neighbor as he drew back with the horseshoe before throwing it, ended up with stitches in my nose
4) severe sun burn, worst pain of all == excruciating

Once when in the third grade I wasn't looking where I was walking, I walked under a teeter totter which had a kid on both ends,, it was a wooden 2x10 board . It scraped down my face from the hairline to my chin . Lesson learned, 40 years later and I still have a healthy respect for teeter totters in motion . lol

Hmmmm. I'm super klutzy, but have been mostly lucky to only have it be scrapes and bruises.

I guess the most embarrassing one was before Christmas. We were in a mall shop with a bunch of dragon figurines in glass cases. They were on shelves, and I could see the sticker prices on the bottom of the dragons, though the glass on the top shelf. I was trying to decide between two and had a limited amount of money. They were super busy so I decided if I ducked a little lower I could see the price tag through the second frim the top glass shelf in the case. Well I miscalculated my duck and ended up smacking my forehead really hard and loudly on the glass case. Enough to leave a forehead print like a bird going after the shiny jewels.

Everyone noticed including the shop keeper and my husband who called me a little sparrow and said I was not supposed to try and merge though the glass, to get the shiny things. If a hole would have opened up, I would have jumped in. The shop keeper pretty much lost it as the funniest s*** he had seen all week. He said he'd open the case so I wouldn't hurt myself. I must have bought something. I don't remember through the mortification, other than I did end up giving my friend one of the dragon figures.

Years later, I also nearly let my husband roll off the pier, because I noticed a swarski crystal store. So I kind of do have issues with shiny objects and potential risk to life and limb.

i was 8 years old, i was at my aunt's house. my family and i was have a dinner there. my cousins and i was running around my aunt's house. i have fun trying to catch my cousins. i forgot they had these clear slides doors inside their house. i ran smack hard against one slide door. you heard me hit the door pretty hard sound when through the whole house. i flew back on my feet a couple of inches away from the door, i fell on my back. my uncle came to me first, i didn't know what happen to me. i was ok, i just knock the wind. i started to laugh hard, it really funny. everybody laugh to. good news: the slide door was ok, no cracks. i had a little bruise on my head. after that, my uncle opened slide door for the rest of the night.

I was teaching students the safe way to use wood working tools, and was in the process of demonstrating that you should never place your free hand in front of tools because they might slip.... and I pushed a wood chisel through the palm of my free hand, which was placed in front of the tools.

Didn't have to worry about anyone forgetting that little tidbit.

Another one, I was about 7 maybe and I'd picked up my Dad's razor, my Mum told me to put it down as it had a blade in it. I said it didn't, and said "look" and ran my finger across the blade...
