Dumbest Household Injury

Recommended Posts

So tonight I was washing out my blender and managed to poke a hole in my finger with the blades of the blender. Enough blood spurting out to require a bandaid. A few years back, there was a tragic bagel-cutting incident that required a trip to urgent care and three stitches.

So what's most dumbass household injury you've sustained?

In my early teens, I tried using a vacuum cleaner hose for mass-blackhead removal. Ended up with a big circular hickey on my nose for about a week.



Well, hey, at least you got a hickey. :P

It was probably the stupid thing I did a few months ago.

I was crouched down precariously in some weird position at the top of the stairs leading down to my house, balancing on tip toes, hugging my knees and talking on the phone and I just freaking fell backwards down all of the stairs (concrete) and scraped a big ol' chunk of skin off my leg.

This reply has taken me so long to write.. I think it's because I do stupid household injuries almost every day!:S

Couple of weeks ago I was using one of those mandoline (sp?) slicers. My uncle says to me...."better be careful, you'll cut your finger off."

Jinxed me he did, 3 minutes later I sliced the tip of my thumb almost all the way off.

Still wearing a bandaid.

Beginning of the summer, and very first day as a very happy unemployed person. While thinking about all the jumping, rollerblading, and all the other fun and exciting things I would do before getting a job I ran downstairs, tripped and twisted my ankle :|

I was cleaning one of those Braun multi blenders...... you know the hand held ones.

There I was sticking my tongue around the blades to "lick " the chocolate cream off.

I thought "mmm this is a bit stupid I could chop my tongue off."
So I removed my tongue and used my finger instead:S

Whilst doin gthis a friend walked in and grabbed the hand that was hold in gthe Braun mixer.

He managed to depress the button and YOWSER.

"FUCK that hurt"

I look down and see a lovely chunk of meat on the floor.

Needless to say I never ever touched one of these again.

Ran into a glass door at a friend's house. I thought I broke my nose.

Stupid fuckers are supposed to hang something on those doors with a suction cup thingie to warn knuckleheads like me!

my mother was cooking some holiday dinner in the oven. you know the ones with the viewing glass on the door?

well I was looking in and she told me not to tuch it b/c its hot.....

yep, I touched it and the skin on the palm of my hand melted to the glass.

I remember the sight of my skin but not the pain of the burn:ph34r:

Not my dumbest, but pretty dumb anyway.

Once I pulled up to my garage in my car. I hit the button to open the door. The door didn't open. For some reason I was not paying attention and rammed my car right into the door. I think that was one of the most expensive brain farts I ever had.[:/]

me: trying to cut through a really tough cable with a xacto knife, but I was pulling on it, not pushing away from my body like I was supposed to. Well it slips and I stab my own damn leg with the knife! :S

A friend of mine on here was trimming his hedges with an electric trimmer, and he was in a hurry because he was driving down to Carolina Sky Sports for a boogie. He was holding the trimmer with one hand and part of the bush with the other hand (ungloved) and proceeds to nearly sever a finger with it! B|. Nah, but he did gash it severely. Made a half-hearted attempt to bandage it and since his car was already packed, he set off for the 6 or 7 hour drive, but because of heavy traffic in the Baltimore/DC area where he only made 30 miles in 3 hours and his finger still bleeding all over the damn steering wheel for that matter, he wisely turned around and returned home. :|

Speaking of glass doors, I have a stupid stunt I did when I was a kid. We had this roller platform that was used for moving really heavy planters around in the house. Since the house sat on a slope with the street higher than the carport floor, the driveway sloped down pretty good. I'd start at the top and ride that non-steerable sucker all the way down and into the carport, where I'd brake myself with the soles of my shoes. Well, that one time I didn't stop myself in time and went head-first into the glass-paned weather door, shattering it and gashing my forehead! Had 6 stitches put in to boot... B|

How have I been injured? Let me count the ways. Too many to remember all, but running into the robe hook on the bathroom door (in the dark), getting a big cut below my eye was great. I took a lot of "battered husband" kidding at work for that. Stepping on a broken coke bottle in the yard was good for a lot of blood, too. Suprisingly, with all the woodworking I do I can still count to 10 on my fingers.

My wife broke 2 ribs once, bouncing off the counter when a ladder slipped while painting the kitchen.

Those bagel injuries? I heard they are the #1 cause of emergency room trips on subuurban Sunday mornings.
