I'll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.

Was eating soup after a long day of work. Tired. Figured I'd drink the last bit out of the bowl.

Crashed it into my front tooth and a piece of it flew off. Enough to be visible, not enough for the dentist to do anything about it. It'll just stay like that forever.

Not so bad compared to many other stories, just really really pathetic.

A dentist should be able to at least just bond it. I broke my two front teeth in half playing hockey, and got veneers to replace them. Now that's a bit more than what you did, but I'd go on to chip both of those veneers and the two teeth below them them on my bottom jaw when (long story short) I punched myself in the face accidentally. And to make another long story short, my top front four teeth are now all veneers and the bottom ones the dentist just shaved to make even, since I have some crowding, and it's all good enough.

But yeah, when I originally broke them the dentist bonded them so can say the letters S and F, because yelling "huck, huck" when it happened just didn't feel as good as it should have.

Sounds like something that would happen too me. I've hit my teeth with the soup bowl before. Luckily no broken teeth.
