What's the dumbest way you've ever injured yourself?

[Gypsy]

I used to work at a military arsenal where the did explosives testing. My building was not far from the quary where munitions were frequently detonated. Once I reached to answer the phone and just as I was bringing it to my ear; BOOM! a giant explosion. Well my arm jerked and I punched myself in the face with the handset. Had a shiner for a week.

What's the dumbest way you've ever injured yourself?

I was watching cookies bake. I fell back off of the balls of my feet and busted my head open on the open dishwasher door. 8 stitches.



I am sure I will remember something FAR more stupid. When I do, I will post it.

I pulled a muscle and strained my neck because of a Palmetto Bug......I hate those things.

Last year I was on the floor wrapping Christmas gifts.I must've been on the floor for a couple of hours,I couldn't feel my legs,they were numb.So I lifted myself slowly,then I pushed up hard.Pop,pop,pop,I pulled a groin muscle.

Then there was the time I was playing with a Pit Bull.I was seeing how high he could jump,I was holding a piece of wood in my hand.He could jump pretty high,got the board and my thumb.Ouch!

OK... I remembered another one.

When I was a kid, I postulated that if you could seal the end of the barrel of a BB gun preventing air movement, the BB would not come out of the barrel. What did I use? My finger. It turns out that I did not understand that air compressed at a high rate at 8 years old. The BB embedded itself in the end of my left index finger. I had to cut it out.

On my 2nd Iraq deployment, my detachment and I were going through the dwelling place of a known, uh, bad guy, when one of my soldiers spotted a file cabinet. Since this particular group of bad guys were not dummies and the cabinet was prominently displayed out in the open, we all figured it would be trapped. Rather than, you know, wait for someone who was specifically trained for this sort of thing, I told my guys to get out of the way and sauntered up to the cabinet. Since I was qualified to handle and set the things, I figured that was exactly the same thing as disarming them. I was rifling around the thing when I felt a catch being released and dove to the ground in time to catch shrapnel in my hand, arm, and shoulder; would have been worse if I didn't dive. That was pretty stupid overall and my guys wouldn't stop laughing once they realized I was fine

Two words: Nunchucks and groin.

I've tried thinking of something dumb I've done to hurt myself and can't really pinpoint one.
I can come up wit all kinds of things I've done that had grave potential.

Not something I personally did, but a Darwin award nominee. Apparently two guys from Alabama wanted to play catch but didn't have a ball so they improvised. Unfortunately (for them) they improvised with a passing rattlesnake. Needless to say the rattlesnake took a fairly dim view of being used as a ball....

Well, I have had my share of hitting my fingers with a hammer, and slamming them in the car door. I even fell off a horse once.
I did cause my younger brother to be injured in a dumb way. I was playing the "see food" game. I opened my mouth and he saw food, got grossed out, turned, tripped and fell hitting his head on the kitchen table. He got 5 stitches.
