Most unnecessary injury you've gotten?

When I was in the second grade, my friends and I were playing 'mummy tag' (which is more-or-less tag with your eyes closed, dumb game eh?) and I was 'it'. I had strolled casually into a fence and a protruding bolt went right into my forehead. A a couple centimetre's lower and I would have lost my right eye. Now I'm missing the middle of that eyebrow - but in the badass "I've seen some things, man" kinda way.
I once was cleaning out an aquarium. I was trying to get out all the sticky crap from the bottom by turning it upside down over a garbage can and hitting the bottom. Well my hand went through the glass and I tore up my hand and wrist. Blood everywhere and my mom was freaking out that I was going to lose my hand from infection.
Yea, pointless injury. Should know better, glass things break easily, duh.

when i was like.. 2.. there was a bookshelf on top of a desk in my sisters room.. I climbed it because why the fuck not.. next thing, it was falling. so i fell from roof height, about 2 metres, and then had a large bookshelf land on my head immediately after. I was 2. Probably lucky to not be dead, have a scar on my head because of it.
well, most of the injuries that i have acquired could have been avoided with a modicum of common sense, but the most impressive would definitely be when i ran partway through a large thorn bush. I was playing capture the flag, and i got cornered, with only several meters of spiky bush between me and the flag, i made a dumb choice, and sprinted at the bush, made it most of 3 and a half metres through the bush before i ran out of momentum. At that point, I was unable to bring myself to continue draggin the thorns through my legs, and waited for the opposing team to go capture me. it did make me feel good to se how long it took them to get through the bush though. the bleeding legs, not so much.

When I was maybe seven years old, I decided I wanted to pretend to be a puppy. And what do puppies do? Why, they carry things in their mouth, yes they do.
I have no idea how exactly this worked out, but...Well, it was in July, so we had one of those little hand-held American flag dealie-os lying around, and I put it in my mouth and began circling the table on all fours.
I must have gone a little too fast 'cause somehow I rammed into the table and the stick changed directions and suddenly that little gold point at the top was a spearhead that was sticking through my neck and out the back of my throat.
I just remember standing there, dazed, and pulling the thing out before the blood started gushing.
My panicked mom rushed me to a hospital (on foot! xD) and thy stitched it up. Said I missed my voice box by less than a centimeter.
But I got to eat pudding for like two whole months! 8D

i got a couple i could list. yes i have a few dumb friends. me personally i was running backwards and hit a support beam in the middle of the hallway, i was unfamiliar with the building and didn't know they had brick beams in the middle of the halls. got a concussion which is a ***** in the back of the head, i couldn't open or twitch my eyes for the rest of the night or else i would have splitting pain.
i cut a bit of my left thumb off when resorted to sharpening a pencil with a razor blade. the bit that came off was just the tip of the little flap of skin that was hanging there, the rest healed back together but the tip died off.
my friend dislocated his right kneecap doing an air guitar pose and still have problems with it. it can come back out easily and he sometimes needs a brace for it. he has a permanent knee injury at 18 from air guitaring... the sad thing is he can play a real guitar he was just nerding out to some music...

Most likely it was either when I was 3, and I was playing hide and seek at church, we were running through the graveyard and I tripped on a tree root and hit my head on a tombstone, cut a 2tree inch gash on my eyebrow; or also when I was 3, we had just moved into our new house and the stairs leading to the house didn't have guard rails, I was helping my mom carry some groceries in (it was only a single loaf of bread) and as I was going up the stairs I once again tripped and gave myself a 1 inch cut in my nostril and breaking my nose.
