Ask Lemmy

Sitting down in a restaurant and hitting the table pole with my knee. I ALWAYS do that.

Poured EXTREMELY hot oil on my scalp and burnt my scalp. Skin came peeling off, lost more hair' -already got male pattern baldness. Took a few weeks to heal.

Got done with a 12 hour shift, hopped on the motorbike and zipped off, lost the frontend on like second corner, hadn't taken into account the cold tarmac first thing in the morning cause my dumb ass thought I was just done with a DAY shift.

Tried to do a little drop/jump while snowboarding. I hadn't been on a snowboard in a decade. Landed awkwardly and hyper extended my right wrist. Though I broke it. Seems to be fine but it still hurts like hell four days later.

Broke apart my filling by biting into a steel fork.

Not really any injury, and rather more awkward than painful.

There was a smaller branch hanging from a tree, mostly broken off. I managed to break it off completely, but as it fell and I was holding it, it bent back my left pinkie and ring finger a bit too much, enough to make them painful for 2 days. The awkward bit is that it also bonked me on my empty head.

Better than the other one though. There's one larger branch that's completely broken off, but it's still hanging on the other ones. I tried to pull it off, but I am too weak. It got even lower now so perhaps I should try again. I mean, it's fairly horizontal, so it doesn't leave me standing under the heavy part while pulling it.

I had to mop the basement floor after new tile was laid and now my back is stiff.

Used to work in a bagel shop. We have a big ass slicer, spinning blade you drop bagels into down a chute.

Every day we turn it off and wipe the chute. I wasn't thinking. Unplugged the machine, scooted it out, and began wiping down the chute inside, brushing down crumbs.

It's a fucking miracle my finger barely grazed the still spinning blade that hadn't come to a stop yet. Immediately recoiled my hand and just got a scratch from it, not that deep.

I was pissed at myself for not realizing the blade was still spinning. That shit could've been so much worse.

Stabbed myself in the thumb when trying to remove those indistructable zip ties from a new knife we purchased.

This was a few days ago, I peeled my thumb knuckle with a potato peeler again

I tried carefully picking up a small knife right after getting my nails painted. Dropped the knife and slightly stabbed myself in the foot. Also flipped on some ice delivering a package , fell on my ass and sent my phone flying 10 feet in the air .

Not a serious one, but it hurt like a bitch.

Coworker was cleaning the donut case for the day, and left the dishes beside the sink. I decided to be nice and get them soaking, so I grab all the wire racks.

One slipped, and while I was trying to catch it, I somehow pinched my thumb right behind the nail between two others. I had to take a moment in the back office after that.

Fell down ice skating like four days ago. Not the best skater!

Lay on my back. When I stood up my back was seized.

I took a step, I should not have done that.

Had a dull knife for a while and recently bought a new knife last week. Underestimated how sharp the new knife was and accidentally cut into the surface of my thumb

I managed to cut myself with my table saw the same day I shot myself with a nailgun.

The tool wasn't running, and I wasn't cut with the blade. On this particular saw the fence rides on a pair of extruded aluminum rails whose sawn edge the factory did nothing at all to dress. I reached under the table to retrieve the miter gauge from its little scabbard under there and scratched my hand real good on the corner of the table.

Earlier that same day while attaching the face frame to a cabinet with an 18 gauge brad nailer the brad went a bit sideways and nicked one of my fingers.

Both of these were booboo grade injuries. I went to bed that night with a band-aid on each hand.

I was cotting carrots in to carrot sticks, at the last cut I put my finger in between the cutting board and the knife ant started cutting in to my finger tip. Instant regrett.

Literally happened tonight, I was trying to break one of these chicken jerky treats for my dog by folding it over on itself and somehow smashed a finger inside the two halves when it snapped over.

A?

Usually 6-20 at a time

I was helping take the trash out recently. The paradox of regular trashcans on wheels is this. If you have the wheels on the same side as the handle, the weight of the trash tries to push the can back down from the side. However, if you have the wheels on the opposite side than the handle, you need to pull it down highly irregularly. So here I am trying to hook the trash can to a wagon or cart for physical convenience, and like the weeble it was, it just flipped it over due to drag.

I wish someone could make giant trash hamster balls so you could just roll the trash down a driveway like a marble.

Got married.

Put a large cup of tea on my bed. Cup quickly falls over and spills itself on my hand. Somehow get 2nd degree burns
