Thread about scars/wounds

[Deadman Walkin]

Please, elaborate on this coat hanger story. It sounds quite interesting.

IF YOU INSIST >.< I was 5 or 6, really young and at my day care, we thought it would be a great idea to play Indians. So we grabs coat hangers (the metal ones) and used them as bows. HOWEVER a girl thought it would be a good idea to hit my face with the sharp end of the hanger. It ended pretty bad, because blood ran down my face and I cried my face off. Alas, it is still there.....STILL, after 12 years.

I have cuts and scars all over my legs but there's a scar on my face that basically goes over my entire right eyebrow.

 

[Xyphon]

I've got a big scar on my right hand where I had to have surgery for two boxer fractures.

I've got too many scars on my arms from a very grim time in my life.

 

[Ekonk]

I have a few little nicks, but nothing serious.

Actually, I do have a bit of a welt on my right shin, I'd forgotten about that.

However, as goes mental scars, I'm pretty covered. Shootings witnessed and such.

Rrreally? Do continue, that sounds fascinating - if not gruesome.

Righty-o.

Spoiler: spoilered for length

Earlier last year I went up the North of Ireland (still part of the UK) with my friend, for a day out in Belfast (capital city of Northern Ireland). On the way back, my friend said if I wouldn't mind going up to the town of Antrim, near enough Belfast, so he could drop in on his uncle.
I said fine.
Anyway, we drove into the town, and he said that he couldn't actually remember where his uncle lived, so he was going off to look for the house, because he'd remember it when he saw it.

Anyway, I decided to go for a walk around the town, just to see what it was like. It was about half nine at night or so.

Anyway, I passed the British army base in the town, and while I was passing it a Dominos pizza van pulled up, and a couple of soldiers walked out to get the pizza. At the same time, a car drove up and the windows opened. And then suddenly, two rifles poked out and opened fire.

Gunfire is a lot louder than in the movies.

Anyway, I dived down to the ground and kept still as I could.

Two of the soldiers were killed, and 2 others wounded. The two pizza delivery men were badly wounded too.

It was horrible, the worst thing I've seen in my life. The two soldiers were totally ripped apart by the assault rifle fire, and after they had finished shooting them from the car, they stepped out and walked right up to them, and opened fire. Blood sprayed everywhere.

They got in the car and drove away. Some soldiers came out and tried to resuscitate the dead soldiers.

I slipped away without them noticing me, because I really didn't want to get questioned by them.

I got in the car, and told my friend to drive home as quick as he can. I didn't tell him what happened until we were over the border with the Irish Republic.

Anyway, the people who shot the British soldiers were the Real IRA, an offshoot of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), who want Northern Ireland to become part of Ireland again. The IRA called a ceasefire in 1998, but the Real IRA broke off and kept fighting. The next day, they killed a Northern Irish police officer.

Since then I've been suffering from extreme paranoia, panic attacks and depression.

So, fun times, fun times..

Dear Christ man, that sounds like a Class A traumatic experience. I don't really know what to say. Stupid coincidence you were there at the time. Stupid that the Real IRA is fanatic enough not to stop. I guess you're very lucky to have come out unscathed. Physically, that is. Do you still have the paranoia, panic attacks and depression? Did you ever have anyone to talk about it? That may be very important.

Shootings

"shootings"...? how many shootings have you seen?

OT: I have 2 very bad scars on my right knee, and 2 on my left arm.

Also, I have mental scars that im not going to talk about.

 

[Samurai Jim]

One on my right knee when I ripped it open on a spiked metal grate in 5th grade, one on my left shin from running into a broken hinge, and one on my thumb from when I was little when I ripped the thumb print clean off. The scars from picking mosquito bites don't count.

 

[Ben Jamin]

Scar on my chin from a piece of flying furniture, one on my arm from a nail that was sticking out of a wall, various scars on my hands and arms and a small on on my chest.

 

[Broady Brio]

I got a 3 brown lines on my forearm. Got them from a *****, when I squirted her boyfriend's crotch with a water pistol. She has Left 4 Dead witch's nails.

I've yet to scar her back now as we go differnet colleges.

That'll be all that are major.

 

[JacOak]

Let's do a check... I have three scars on my lower torso from a keyhole appendectomy, one on my neck for no adequate reason, and then there's the weird ones.
Those are the ones on my tounge. I have two near-identical ones down the left and right sides of my tounge, a long round one on the bottom of it, and a fork. I'll wait for someone to ask before I explain them.

EDIT

Well apparently as a baby I crawled like the commandos do and I did it on gravel, so my arms are covered with little white scars.

Same.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I don't have one but if I did it would look like this

 

[RanD00M]

I have a scar on my thumb because of a work related accident that has something to do with dried fishes and knives.

I also have a small hole on my leg after i ran into the corner of a bench.

I got a heart shaped scar on my chest from a 3rd degree burn

That sounds so awesome.
Any pictures?

 

[dasUnbekannte]

One on my knee from a slip n slide. One on my hand from a piece of glass when I was 5, I use it to tell my left hand from my right.

 

[Griphphin]

I'm fine mentally (pretty good at coping with mental stress and the such), but I've got two large, seven-inch-or-so scars on my right forearm. My PE class and I were playing American football on tennis courts (nobody wanted to get their shoes wet, it was a morning class), and both me and my teammate jumped up for a pass. I caught it, and fell down. The problem is, my 250-pound teammate fell as well, on me.
It was my forearm vs. his girth. My forearm lost. I didn't notice until I tried to get up, and my arm just crumpled in half. I remember looking at it for a second and going, "well that's not good!" The scars were from the surgery.

 

[Soxafloppin]

A small scar on my forehead, but my fringe covers it.

I have a sticky out bone in the middle of my chest.

I have a small burn from an iron on my hand.
