Most unnecessary injury you've gotten?

I once gave myself a nosebleed from snorting a rail of cayenne pepper. It got a good laugh, and was well worth the effort.
Started reading this thread, then I had to put something away. While I was doing that, I tripped over a piano chair. This one has 2 legs, with a bar on the bottom of each. I nearly fell over it, because it was knocked over, and nearly flipped up into my crotch. Besides that, I once decided to, when I was learning how, to rollerblade down a steep incline, despite my dads protests. So I did, and I fell, and rolled down the bottom 75% of it. It was made of asphalt. Ow.
Hmm... the most unnecessary is probably when I deliberately broke my own wrist so I wouldn't have to go to work (it was the only excuse I could come up with at the time!).
However if we read 'unnecessary' as 'utterly stupid' then it'll be when I used a razor sharp scalpel as a blunt instrument and almost sliced my finger off, the great part though was due to the shock it didn't bleed right away and I got to see a cross section of my own finger, a life lesson and a biology lesson in one!

plenty plenty plenty.
the one that occurs to me right now is, my neighbor had that sidewalk that is FILLED with little annoying ass pebbles (death sidewalk we used to call it) and i was riding my bike when i heard my mom bursting out laughing on the front porch, and as a kid i couldn't help but turn to look to see what was so funny, and in that moment my handlebars turned 90 degrees and i went flying over the bike, landing on my elbow which scraped 2-3 feet across the fucking death sidewalk, and my elbow bone was sticking out with a ridiculous burn going down my whole forearm.
all because i had to turn and see what was so funny...
also me and my friends one time were biking offroad, going through an apartment complex, we jumped over a curb and went down this steep hill, and we went by some garages, but the height of the garage wasn't parallel to the grass around it, so the grass went up and the roof didn't, and i ended up closelining my head from the roof of the garage.
edit: OH
a funny one that happened to my brother, i used to run on the treadmill to build my endurance for soccer, and i accidently left the key in it, and my brother (who was 5 at the time) walked in a few minutes later and thought it would be cool to play with all the buttons...he accidently cranked it to top speed (12.5ish mph i think?) and started to scream as he couldn't move fast enough, and he tripped on it, hit his face and went flying backwards about 10 feet into the wall.
luckily..i saw the last part of that, and laughed so fucking hard...i don't care if it makes me a bad person, but it was so fucking funny.
about 30 seconds in, is exactly what i saw, but with a high pitched 5 year old...it was so funny.

In high school I used to do field throwing. We were working with the discus and my friend who was standing a little behind me and off to my left was throwing and then next thing I hear is "oh shit" and the world went swimmy. His discus hit me just about on the ear. One mild concussion (never lost consciousness) and a weeks worth of chicken noodle later and I still have a 'click' in my jaw even after ten years.
I tried to do the Kamaya-blast thing with my hands in class... my friend was saying how hard it was to do. I got my hands at around 180 degrees, and then clenched my fingers, the tendons in my hands did NOT like that idea... people stared as I yelped 
when winter was ending and i hadn't fallen on slippery ice that year, i was feeling particularly proud right when i fell in a way that my left leg got severely sprained under my body.
Right after the fall i couldn't move my leg and it was so worryingly numb i decided to have it checked out in the nearest hospital right away. Luckily the fall happened only about 200 meters from said hospital lol.
The ankle is still sore after almost a year, im sad to say.

I often get small cuts on my hands and my wrist because of the stupid way open and walk trough doors. I often don't open them far enough and then scratch my hand on the iron door thingy.
So nowadays I only walk trough doors very carefully.

Once while a at a play park I was swinging on a bar. I jumped off and landed on my butt. I felt strange so I got my friend to show him.
Tried it again, landed elbow to the ground, broke my arm.
I was only about 6 years old.

I got bored once and put the cigarette lighter on, pulled it out after about 10 seconds and poked it.
The car, my finger and the cigarette lighter all stank of burning for a while.
CAPTCHA: "nyRoc said", nyRoc said what!? I must know. Was it about me? Don't believe a thing nyRoc says, he's an anti-semite!

Why is it that everywhere on the internet "should have" is replaced with "should of"? Did I miss a memo or is the internet conspiring against me?
OT: I was a mess when I was younger, always hurting myself doing pointless shit, wasted 3 bikes in 4 years. Biggest one would be in 2nd grade, I was climbing on a bed in the classroom, trying to hang up a picture, fell with my cheek on the corner of the bed and a chunk of the bed's corner got stuck in my cheek.
i once got punched in the arm.
so i said to the guy "that was pretty unnecessary. i mean, the word 'hello' exists."
seriously.

i think the worst unnecessary injury(im tkaing that to meen could have been easily avoided) ive had was a while back when i was in like year 7. There was this fairly large and steep hill in the park near where i live, so me and my friends were taking it in turns to cycle down it as fast as possible, then brake as late as possible (a recipe for disaster). however when it got to my go, as i was cycling down, i realised myback brakes had decide to stop working. i didnt stop to think about it and simply smammed on the front brakes. A small flying lesson later over the handle bars, i smashed into the ground, gathered myslef together and rolled over onto my back.. just in time for the bike to land on my face. Thankfully i got lucky and wasnt that injured but still :L
I walked past a 4ft. diamond-patterned fence with a bit of metal wire sticking out over the path. It nicked the inside of my elbow, left a white line (like scratched skin) so I kept walking as it didn't hurt. Got 100m down the road when I felt warm liquid on my forearm. It was pumping blood faster than the time I shattered my elbow. I covered it with my other hand and strolled casually into TESCO where I bought a bottle of water and some bandages (turning heads & gasps) which was only more ridiculous as I couldn't feel it at all and never did afterwards.. Turns out it caught my arm twice at the same time leaving an inside 2 inch gash & an outer 1 inch gash. Light duel scars now remain and it was 6 years ago.
A couple of Christmases ago, my uncle got me a knife super thing, had a wrench in there. Anyway, like all birthday presents, I promptly cut my first finger on my right hand, because I was going to open a present for someone else. I didn't understand the Cut away from Self rule fully, now I do.

I got no big injuries.
