We replaced the garage door into the house with a door that was up to code last month. The original door opened into the garage while the new door opens into the bedroom.
Needless to say I have forgotten that the door opens differently several times and smashed my forehead on it. Hard |

I tend to not pay attention much when i walk around. i am always stubbing my toes on the bases of the stand up fans, laundry baskets and occasionally i will step on a cats tail.
the best story is when i was younger my dad took the threshhold (spelling or is that what it is really called, it is the thing that goes under the front door to make it water tight) anyway he took it off and there were nails sticking up out of the ground. he must have gotten the wrong size because he ran out to home depot for a minute and warned all of the kids (there were 4 of us) to stay away from that. wouldnt you know the cat wanted outside so i let her out and i stepped down on those nails. i remember saying out but i went on my way.
meanwhile my toes are bleeding and i forgot all about it. later on i look and go why do i have scabs on my toes. haha.
when i used to live with my roomie i broke a mirror in my bedroom. and i cleaned it up. a few months later i step on a shard of glass that was hidden deep in the carpet. of course that could only happen to me. |

This happened to my husband not me. He broked his baby toe on a rubbermaid laundry basket. I guess he just bumped into it just right and it broke. I always tease him about it because they are so rubbery and soft. He has also sliced his finger while cutting onions and bumped his head on the fireplace mantel. All 3 of those injuries were a trip to the emergency room. Nothing too serious thank goodness.

My house used to have big grates in the hardwood floors to let the heat from a basement wood stove circulate. The one in the living room was about 3 x 3 feet, enormous. When I first moved in, I decided to vacuum the grate and lifted it out (solid steel, very heavy), then put it aside. :oops: Of course I fell in the hole and was hanging into the basement by my armpits when my kids found me. LOL, I was pretty bruised!
:oops: And I got the floor opening replaced with wood WAY quick afterward! |

I to have issues with door jams and chairs. Went to walk out of my sons room this summer and jammed my baby toe (left foot) on the door jam and broke it. Later in the summer was walking in my DH's Uncles' house and hit my middle toe (left foot again) on a chair leg. Broke that toe as well.
I have burnt myself numerous times using oven mitts that are too thin, or ones I have previously burnt holes in :oops: |

| How about when an oven mitt or potholder gets wet and you don't notice it, then when you use it you get burned with not just heat, but hot water as well? |

wow....
i am glad I am not the only one.
when i was a kid i crack my tooth on a step in my pool
when i was in high school i pushed a bottom thing on this vase ( i was putting flowers into) and when i pushed it on it shattered in my hand. I had glass all in my hands, it was bad. I need shots and stitches.
I have burned my arm on the racks in the over. right where the oven mit has stopped.
one time I was cooking on a gas stove and made a mess so I picked up the ceramic thing that you sit the pot on and burned my whole hand. it hurt so bad. I sat clenching ice packs for days.
my son, needed stiches from falling into a chair, he has had a popcorn kernell up his nose that they had to remove at the E.R. |

I've always heard that there are x numbers of unjuries caused to left-handed people every year using right-handed products. Since I'm right handed, that never concerned me much, and I figured it was one of those stats that people throw around that doesn't really have any evidence about it. Until I made a cup of tea at my boyfriend's house...
I have an electric teapot with a stationary handle, but my boyfriend has a regular stovetop teapot (ironically enough, one I had given him as a present). When the water boiled, I picked up the teapot with my left hand, but the handle is designed to stop and lock in place in the middle. Since I was pouring it with my left hand, it never locked in place and swung right back and hit me in the wrist and gave me a pretty bad burn. That was about 6 months ago and I still have a really nasty scar on my inside left wrist - I think it's there for good.
So left-handed people, I feel your pain - literally! |

:lol: These posts have cracked me up. I know they were painful but there were so many that I could relate too. So here mine are. (by the way I am very much accident prone)
Once I was lying in the floor at a friends house. I ended up kicking a wicker basket and my big toe really started to hurt. Well my mom had come to pick me up and my stupid toe was still hurting and swelling. So we thought jammed maybe broken. I limped around with it for a while until I decided to go to the Dr. They took x-rays nothing broken. So I limped out and try to walk for another couple of weeks waiting for it to heal. A month later I thought I would look at my toe and try to figure what was going on. I noticed I had lint under my toenail so I got a pair of tweezers and started to dig underneath my toe nail and I pulled out about a 1/2 inch long piece of wicker. :shock:
I was babysitting and I turned around, knocked off a glass pitcher, tried to catch it (big mistake), and it shattered in my hand. I cut my hand open while glass went in the floor. The kids were asleep so they didn't get hurt. I had to call the parents and my parents to get me because I couldn't get it to stop bleeding. I had to get stitches.
I can find any and all unlevel floors. I usually will trip and fall. I run into stuff all the time and get bruises.
I have plenty more. Hope you got a good laugh. |
