What do you tell people when injured?

[Volkade]

I was just wondering what stories people come up with in order to cover up a story about an injury.
Example: The other day I tried to scratch my eyebrow, put too much force into my hand, and poked myself in the eye. Lower half of my eye is a little swollen, and I just claim I had a bizarre fight with someone close to me.

What kinds do you lot use?

To quote Only Fools And Horses:
"What the hell happened to you?"
"I walked into a door."
"It did all that?!"
"Well...it was a revolving door."

 

[crotalidian]

I walk into doors a lot......honest

Totally using that in the future.

When I dislocated my pinkey, I said it was because I punched a guy too hard in a fight, I actually broke it during dogdeball.

 

[Nouw]

I tried killing a man. Succeeded... at a cost. Just kidding, I tell the truth. And that I wrestled a grizzly bear

If I aquired the injury in an embarrasing way, to get out of saying what it is, I do what I always do.

SMOKE BOMB TO THE FLOOR!!!

I would just tell them what I did, just laughing about it could be a good medicin too! That and maybe try and see if you can find a witty retort to distract your mind a bit.

"You think my face looks bad? You should see the other guy's knuckles"

 

[Grouchy Imp_v1legacy]

"I got into a fight with a door and the door won."

You're welcome. 8D But don't thank me, thank David Jason.

One that my friend said was something along the lines of "I fell down an escalator... going up"

 

[Guest_Star]

I don't tell. It's the first rule. And the second.

I bought a knife on a school trip when I was younger, I couldn't get it out of the case so I pulled really hard and accidentally pulled it out quickly and cut myself, I just told my parents I fell on broken glass, they believed it too. The other week also I was sat on my windowsill (legs out the window) when it was raining really hard, the moon was out so I was looking at it, and rain is awesome. Anyway, I found a lighter next to me, and some rope, so I burnt the end of the rope and some wax or rubber burnt off and landed on my finger, it was quite noticeable when it went into blister form so I told my parents I did it lifting weights, they believed me again too. It has only now, after 4 weeks, gone fully, I have a burn scar on my finger now. In retrospect of both events I'm glad I did them, scars are dope. Although I would make the worst fucking thief ever because my fingerprints have scars all over them.

People sometimes notice that my knuckles are constantly bruised.
I tell them I punched a wall.
Funny thing, that's the truth, too.

 

[Betancore]

I tell them the truth:
'I tried to punch a wall.'
'I walked into a door.'
'I bounced off the floor.'
'My friend squeezed my arm lightly and all I got was this bruise.'
'I jumped a metre when she stuck the needle in my arm. I am not cutting myself.'

My friends are quite accepting of my stupidity.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

Tell them the truth, or something sarcastic..

 

[eggy32]

I tell them what actually happened, like the time I was about to scratch me eyes and suddenly sneezed, causing me to smack myself in the face.
