myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life1 year ago

I think I topped myself last night. I was using a Pampered Chef flat slicer to slice tomatoes. I THOUGHT my fingers were far away from the blade... boy was I wrong! I sliced my fingertip right off! OMG is it painful. It bled forever. It still bleeds if I bump it.

Needless to say, we only had BL for dinner last night.. We threw away the 'T'

Please my dear friends, let me know I am not alone in my stupidity and share your "I hurt myself because I am a dumb@ss" stories with us all.

Hit myself in the head with a glass soda bottle I threw in the air to knock a newspaper out of a tree.

Thanks for the laugh, myklj999. I have no trouble at all imagining such a thing since I've been there done that myself. I only wish that was the stupidest thing I've ever done that caused myself injury.

Two things actually! One was climbing very high up a tree to get a football down and then deciding to swing on a branch to impress my friends and having it break! I fell a very long way down and landing on my back. I am amazed that I was able to stand straight up again actually.

Second instance was coming across an electric cattle fence once. I stupidly grabbed a piece of wood with a nail in it and touched it to the wire thinking that if the fence was truned on, there would be a spark or something. Never once did I consider that the wood the nail was in would mean that there would be no current conducted! Of course no spark came so I placed both hands on the wire and then BOOM! lol. Flat on my back again! lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

Tarzan gone bad huh?? I would have loved to see that.. but even funnier was your shock treatment!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Transdisc (18489)   ranked 974 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

Heeeheeeheee, I'm so glad to hear I'm not the dumbest human on the planet (er, I mean, I'm not alone.) I've done the very same things, James, only I didn't use a piece of wood when I touched the fence. And the thing with the tree branch is classic -- knocks the wind right out of you, doesn't it?


Please forgive my intrusions, dizzblnd. I can't help myself.

Ouch! I have done that before, only I was slicing up some cucumbers to put into a salad I was making. Or like the time I was cutting some beef roast to make some stew with, and stabbing my own hand with the knife, cause I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.

Sometimes I wonder how it is that I'm still alive with the dumb things I have done, like during the process of opening a cupboard I slam myself in the head with the door. Oi! Or walk into the wall, when I am trying to walk down the hall. Nearly broke my collar bone a couple of times doing that. Plus have a bad habit of missing the next step when walking down the steps on my porch, inevitably falling off the porch. whistle blush

Yes possibly, I could be klutz of the year, if such an award was given lol.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

I think I have another long lost sister separated at birth! lol. My elbows catch hell from slamming them into walls. We might tie for "Klutz of the Year!"


myLot reputation of 99/100. jeweledbluerose (2176)   ranked 267 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

LOL! My problem is I have to much on the brain, at the same time trying to do something else, so am constantly distracted by my own thoughts. Need to learn to concentrate on one thing, and one thing only, especially when around sharp objects, walking down steps, or close to walls...lol

i dont think i did anything like that!! that would be stupid in my eyes,
but you reminded me something that was so stupid that my sister did, and as a result i got hurt!
it was on the eve of chrismas!! and i was blowing balloons, to hang around the corner of the house! and my sister was helping me out! so i was sitting with my legs stretched out and i was blowing the balloons.. and i was tie'ing the ballon, and the jod that i gave to my sister was to cut the thread with the blade after i have tied up the balloon. so what happened was.. after i tied up the balloon., i stretched the thread across my knee and i told my sis to cut the thread!!.. you know what she did., she cut that thread with such a force, that the blade hit my knee!!!, at one moment i just went mum! i just covered my knee!! instantly with my hands!.. and i took my hands off!! blood was pouring!!!!! my sister was like going on asking sorry sorry sorry!!.. i never answered here!!! the whole day she was sitting by my side and seeing the wound that she made!! and the next day, it was horrible.. i wasn able to wear my frock! every time my frock touched my knees, it hurt really badly!!

even today, when i see that wound in my knee.. i tell her, "see what a mark you have given me".. and she laughs out remembering that incident!

Ouch! I hope it heals soon, use lots of neosporin or the generic equivalent!

When I lived in Arizona, we were plagued by packrats. I decided to keep watch in the garage with my airgun and didn't have to wait long till my first victim showed up. He crept along in front of the washer and dryer, which were on a slab that was about 6" high and ran the length of the garage. Like an idiot, I drilled that rodent right between the eyes and the shot went through the skull, bounced off the concrete lip and bounced off. It hit me in the middle of the forehead, leaving a nice little bruise.

I challenge anyone to top this. It's the height of stupidity and something that, as a gun owner, I should have thought of. I'm just glad I didn't decide to use my handgun! shocked


myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

Neosporin is a staple at my house!

Your story was pretty scary. At the risk of sounding like your mom... you could have put out an eye! I am glad you didn't use your handgun too.

Funny how stuff like that teaches us more respect for dangerous stuff glare

I cannot even begin to think which would be the stupidest injury I've caused myself, dizzblnd. It is quite a challenge for me to even try to sort this out.

I once stepped through a rotten spot on the tin on roof of my barn and fell through, bounced off the loft, and then hit the ground on the bottom floor. Thank goodness for the loft! It broke my fall.

How about the time I stepped on a nail attached to a 16 feet long board? The nail impaled my foot. Stuck right out the top of it. As if this wasn't bad enough, I did it twice!

Then there's the chainsaw accident, the tractor tipping accident, the tree wedging me to the tractor accident, the time I started the truck by pulling it with the tractor then jumping off the tractor and into the truck and starting it then jumping back onto the tractor, etc., getting run over, etc. accident.

I will have to think some more. I have done so many stupid things that have resulted in injury of self, but strangely enough, not severe injury, although the stupidity level of self has been quite spectacular.



myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

It is a wonder you are still alive! shocked rasp Remind me never to drink with you, then hand you a chainsaw, the keys to a tractor, or lead you into an old barn whistle

haha the most stupidest thing I have ever done was that in my college days i was playing basketball. And in between there was a fight of my friends with some other junior guys. I had the basketball, I kicked the guy twice and then i threw the basketball at him and it hit his arm and came back and hit me on my face. I was soo embarrassed but I kicked the guy enough to stop people noticing my stupidity.. It was really funny. And all my friends were laughing at me after that incident.. and we remember that thing now as well sometimes.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

Was it drunken basketball? Usually hockey games break out during a fight! LOL

Hey dizz! I hope your finger feels better! I have had so
many accidents I don't even know which one to tell. I once
spilled scalding hot water on my foot when I was boiling
potatoes for mashed potatoes and ended up in the ER with
a something degree burn, all I know is that it was really
bad and the skin came off and it took a long time to heal.
The there were a few falls off the chair where I landed on
my head in the kitchen. The knife wounds are endless and
oven burns are too. I am a walking disaster. I was hanging
curtains in my bedroom and went to step up on 1 chair and
another was in the way and my knee hit the other chair and
I screamed in pain. I thought I dislocated my right knee
again, but it turned out to be a sprain which had me walking
with a cane for 4 months. There's lots more, but I'll leave
you with those disasters for now! Dumb enough for you???


myLot reputation of 95/100. dizzblnd (1127)   ranked 321 out of 38,485 in life  1 year ago

I am feeling better already. Burns are absolutely NO fun. I have never spilt scalding water hot enough to make my skin come off. I am sorry that happened to you.

It is feeling a little better. It stopped bleeding... finally. Thanks for asking
