An experience that happen to everyone
Sometimes can be small and laugh after about it, and sometimes can be bad and put our health and wellbeing in danger .

Share your stories.


I will go first. A lot happen especially when you are in the kitchen a lot ... but not going to say this .... anyway many moons ago i manage to close my hand inside the boot/trunk of the car without having car keys on me ... i will leave the full story for some other time
 
Funny thing that just happened. I was taking off my coat coming back from somewhere. Somehow, I dropped the coat and my hand kept going right into my belly. IOW, I punched myself. Which wouldn't have been a big deal normally, but I was still hurting from my surgery so, yeah, pain was involved.
 
A few years back...at the job I was at, broke my thumb at the very tip of my thumb after I smashed in a machine at work for not paying attention...but that's about it, someone yelled for my name to tell me a joke. Didn't end well, but was funny to know I finally broke something after 32 years. Hah.
 
Pinching a chunk of meat out of my finger between the bottom of a metal dog-food can and the edge of the wire rack that it sits on. Just gross and quite painful.
About three weeks ago or so & now it has just about completely healed. :)
 
I was once doing the dishes and found out the hard way where the food processor blade was in the water. Nasty, nasty gash. I am now almost phobic about washing those blades.

Wear strong gloves. Cures my PTSD.
 
Wow lot dangerous stories here glad everyone ok

And to add another also .... NEVER rush in the kitchen that is what i was doing like many other times but one time was not good ... i drop hot water about two cups on my hand ... i did got burned many times but that time took me more than one day to feel better for few hours i was holding a bowl of water with me all the time ... after half a day manage to add a cream for burns but the pain stopped after few days ... lucky i have no scar
 
Went fishing with my cousins as a young (oblivious) kid, stood right behind one of them and ended up with a hook in my ear

You are SO right about learning to SLOW DOWN!! Everywhere, really, but especially in the kitchen.
 
As a kid playing in the dark and WHAM!!! Running into that tree I didn't see.
This made me laugh. It is one of the most silliest way and most funny as a kid or adult to happen....
and can happen to an animal too how my cat run into the sliding door thinking it was open :LOL:

Kitchen it is a very dangerous place that most time we don't think
 
Breaking my foot playing cricket with my brother 50 years ago.
 
Silliest? Hmm. I don't remember any silly ways I've hurt myself, mostly just dumb, lol. Such as when I managed to pull something in my leg by simply standing up wrong.
I can't think of that as either silly or dumb; I mean....HOW could you know? Can only think of ... it falls into the "shit happens" category?
 
I tore up my knee pretty good being an idiot in my early teens. I was enjoying winter activities with a bunch of friends. There were 4 of us on a toboggan going down the hill. I decided to be a show off and stand up half way down. I lost my balance and fell sideways but my lower legs were jammed between people and didn't move. The end result was quite painful.

I've also collided with the back of a vehicle on two occasions while riding my bike. No injuries though, unless you count my ego.

Oh, I've pulled that one a couple times, too. Same, though. Only thing wounded was my pride.
