I ran into my girlfriend’s screen door a minute ago. My nose and lip are bleeding and my nose may be broken lol. It was so loud it set off the alarm on my truck.

lol, grr in the tags.

I picked up a walkie talkie at work and received a nasty shock and burn below the skin on four fingers. It felt like ten wasps.

I slipped and fell down three stairs in my home. I was holding a cup of cold coffee. Didn’t spill a drop but I have rug burn on my arm now and a possible bruise on my butt.

slipped and fell while mopping the kitchen floor and broke my arm, requiring surgery. Had to walk on inch thick ice to get in car but didn’t go down there, just on barely wet linoleum!

Oh, and last night I walked straight into a piece of furniture that hasn’t moved in over a year. Not even and inch. I bruised my boobz.

I was cutting through a parking lot and I tried to jump onto a piece of concrete. I missed.

All the ways I have bonked and bruised and cut myself lately are completely boring.

Closing the tailgate on my Dad’s Explorer, I slammed a steel corner onto my chest.

Well, this wasn’t super recent but entertaining none the less. I was boating this summer with my family. My sister, my niece and I were being pulled on some sort of tube thingy. My brother-in law was driving and managed to dump my sister and my niece multiple times. Lets just say he was out to get me, when he finally did I went cart wheeling across the water. Ouch! It hurt so badly. Once I got my breath back I felt some immense pain in my bum area. When they got the tube back around to me I told my sister “I am pretty sure that I just ripped bum hole” everyone just laughed and laughed until I said “no really, I think I did!” My sister then informs me that my eye is bleeding. Long story short everything was fine with my eye and it wasn’t my bum but I had pretty much received an episiotomy. It was the worst calling my doctor’s office to let them know I was coming in to be looked at. The phone nurse’s voice was priceless when I told her I thought I may need stitches and then told her where. 20 stitches later I still love my brother in-law but won’t trust him behind the wheel of a boat.

Sorry if this is too much information.

Two winters ago, I spent part of my vacation at a water park that heated the water just for winter warriors. I decided to ride the one ride that drops you down (it boasts 81 feet!) at a rate of about 40 mph.

As soon as I landed at the bottom, I felt like I had ripped myself in half. I felt that my swimsuit had given me the ultimate wedgie. And it did. I was bruised internally for two months. I had trouble sitting and getting out of chairs for January through February.

Never again!

@lyn: That’s fucking great.

I called myself some really bad names. They were creative insults though, so you could say it was interesting.

@ asmonet it was funny but it sucked, it was like giving birth but no baby as a result. (and no pain meds) Plus my husband had to wait the six weeks just like I had just given birth. Poor guy!

The other day I opened my car door and managed to hit myself in the head with it!

A lot of the time while I’m getting out of my car I get the front pouch of my hoodie caught on the handle that rolls the window down. On three separate occasions I’ve done it when I was moving too quickly and wound up doing a complete faceplant. Thankfully, I park next to grass instead of concrete or asphalt. But still… Maybe I should look into getting a car with power windows.

Well, yesterday, or I guess at this point, two days ago, I went to prey the broken glass from my old first gen iPhone and shot a pice of glass right into my left eye… my good eye. That hurt as much as I assume giving birth through your eye, would hurt; and throughout this week I have managed to tear the inside of my ear, multiple times, pretty badly. I love wearing those headphones that wrap around your ears and the actual speaker sits inside your ear. Anyway, I am prone to flailing about like a mad hatter, however I rarely have the foresight to place the headphones cord inside my shirt or jacket… and the resulting end is me catching it on a tree, sign, car, chair, couch… ect… And as I said, upon moving as I do, I am usually moving at a very fast pace. Imagine someone grabbing both your ears, then pulling as fast and as hard as they can, but then letting go once the tension builds.

I worry too much. UNable to get good sleep. Wake up feeling sleepy all the time. And at one stage I could not identify my desktop wallpaper.

In the past two days I have hit two seperate people in the head with my own, one of them twice. Every single time left me and the victim with an excruciating headache. How I manage to do this, I do not know.

Slammed a car door on my own hand….....twice!
I’m easily distracted

I feel bad proclaiming an answer here as a “Great Answer,” mainly because it made my laugh when I read it… does that make me a bad person ;) hehehe.
