Most unnecessary injury you've gotten?

[antigodoflife]

One time in High School, my friends were telling me something, I turn around to realise they were telling me not to turn around. I'm now blind in one eye because some guy misthrew a squashball and so it went at a damning speed directly into my iris. I forget what I was doing that day besides minding my own business, oh well the government pays for my existence now.

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.

This was how I shattered my elbow:
A steep 45degree hill for 500m (5 off streets can fit along it & a field). Rough tarmac road with parked cars down the side. Micro-scooters and an attempt to go as fast as possible past the girls and break as late as possible. Of course when you get up to 20mph & onwards on a micro-scooter the tiny stones of the tarmac shake up the front wheel and into the handlebars attached. the break is that metal flap on the back wheel and it did nothing at those increasing speeds.

Edit for pic of scooter: http://www.microscooter.org.uk/micro-scooter/jd-bug-scooter-blue.jpg
^Those scooters are not designed for uneven Cypriot / British Forces roads, nor are they designed for speed.

I stuck my foot out in an attempt to slow down; only to stick it into a minor pothole (which there were more of than the damn road itself); said foot hits the edge at 20+mph, threw me off and had me crashing down between 2 parked cars. with my head resting on the pavement and the res of me sprawled into the road... except my left arm, which was nestled tightly behind my back. Resulting in a shattered elbow.

I got hit in the face with a baseball. blood everywhere. two front teeth had to be pushed back into place. If I didn't have braces, I wouldn't have the teeth anymore.

Yesterday, dropped a glass while half asleep in the morning and wanting a drink. Now, instead of clearing it up straight away I decided to have my drink first. I was thirsty! In the minute long gap I somehow forgot I dropped it, and came back to stand on it. Barefoot. Hurrah. No major damage, thankfully, just a few lacerations.

The real kicker was standing on some more glass 4 hours later that I'd missed the first time. -_-

One of my friends bottled another of my friends, resulting in a lot of glass slicing up my shoulder/upper chest a little bit. This scar doesn't look like it's healing any time soon.

My old roommate worked at Wal-Mart at the time and was always showing off the Buy-This-DVD buttons he got. One day my workplace gave out t-shirts for a promotion we were running that weekend and the next day I ran out of my bedroom into the living room, planning to leap in dramatically and show off my cool shirt, which was much more impressive than a lame button for the Transformers DVD.

I misjudged the space and split my forehead open on the door frame (right on the hairline) and had to be rushed to Emergency, was put on concussion watch and went through three attempts at maybe eight stitches; once because the doctor realized the type he was using wasn't going to be long enough to seal the whole wound, a second time because he lost the string (?) in my hair. Somehow.

I never washed the shirt, as it was stained with my blood and is now a trophy.

Uh... y'what now?!

Your Hebrew isn't up to snuff?

Anyway, I once reached down to pull a metal washer out of my apartment's deck, and sliced my finger open pretty nastily on the chunk of glass underneath it.

I still have a scar across the back of my right index finger from where I gashed myself open with a newly purchased double bladed knife (not double edged, two separate blades, on the front and back of the grip). The back blade was biting into my left palm, so I absently flicked it away leaving a gash in my right hand. >.<

I've got a diamond shaped scar on my forehead for plowing into a piano when I was a toddler...

I once took a bad step ended up putting my foot down on a rusty nail that had been left in a trash bag, resulting in a tetnas shot.

The next tetnas shot event came from bashing my skull on the trunk of my car, while trying to get groceries out, hard enough to draw blood.

Yeah, I've no idea which of these was the most pointless.

I once sprained my ankle,
while skipping,
for absolutely no reason.
And I mean absolutely no reason, I wasn't even in a good mood.

 

[DoubleTime]

Let's see... I think it's between the time I pushed myself up on the back of two chairs in gradeschool, only to fall and crack my chin on the linoleum splitting it and requiring stitches and the time I fell on the playground and some boy thought it would be funny to jump in the air and land sitting on my back.

That or the time I stuck a pair of those little keys that come with luggage locks into a light socket. Gave me a small black spot on my thumb, and I do mean BLACK! Hurt like hell too.

EDIT:

WAIT! I stand corrected. It was when I sprained my ankle slipping on a water bottle after P.E. in middle school. We were running to the locker rooms, I dodged, got cut off, and still slipped on the $%#^ing thing... Landed on my ankle and I've had problems ever since. (Which were made worse the next year when at the same time, both month and class, I slipped on a jump rope and did the same thing to the other ankle...)

Ahem... Tried to stab myself to death. Times were rough.

Paper sword battle. Tried to avoid somthing, smacked my thumb into the side of a building. Very much ow.

 

[Shade of Life]

Dislocated my left pinky finger when I crashed my bike while drunk. Didn't hurt too much though, a nice guy at the party I was going too just kinda popped it back in place for me and I just went on with my night. Hurt like a sonovabitch for a month afterwards though so I'm glad I was drunk at the time.

I once stepped in a little rut in the garden at my house and twisted my ankle. whatisthisidonteven

I was ironing (you can already see where this is going)and I had just finished and was placing the iron back into its cupboard. I tripped and the iron slid off of its base and onto the exposed flesh of my wrist.
Surprisingly enough it didn't hurt, either it was shock or the accursed thing burnt away my nerve endings too quickly. Ever smelt your own skin cooking? Not pleasant.

i fucked up a super simple turn on my motorbike the other day and hit a parked car, screwed up my shoulder for about a week, just wasn't paying attention.

Sorry, double post. Second one is better

 

[OWENR22]

I was running after my brother when I was nine years old, and I managed to impale my shoulder on a door handle. Needed 3 stitches.

Winter, sub-zero
little pieces of ice on the sidewalk
Kicking them is fun.

until...

really big one
Me: "Hey, I'm going to run towards it and kick it with full force, what could go wrong?"
Big piece is frozen to the ground.
Big toenail flips up.

Didn't see THAT coming...

God that was stupid...
