Does your spouse or significant other always seem to get odd injuries?

Believe me, I am pretty klutzy and being pregnant has just made that worse. Just this morning I shoulder checked a door frame LOL The cuts and whatnot I inflict on myself and pretty normal injuries, 99% cause by me not paying enough attention or just being tired. My husband on the other hand always comes up with odd injuries. He won't cut himself in the kitchen while using a knife, but he will find a way to cut himself pulling grapes off the stem. Anyone else notice this trend in their spouse or significant other?

I think I am the one with the most injuries at home, cuts, bumping into things, taking the wrong step and injuring my knee at least more than twice, I had the nose bleed from hell, it lasted like the whole weekend. It was horrible, I do not even think I ate properly that whole time, and I also blamed myself, I was taking calcium in chocolate form, and it had vitamin D I think, I get a headache, and without thinking I take a couple of aspirins, it was wrong, wrong, wrong I tell you. I do not believe I have cut myself with grapes but I have scratch myself with my foot once, lol

I'm the one in our family that comes out with the odd injuries. The bruises that seem to come out of nowhere. The paper cuts. The splinters. All of the things that we for some reason think that we are immune to. My husband, on the other hand, is able to explain every injury that he has. He works in a machine shop and will come home with cuts on his hands due to metal shavings. He's burnt himself several times and even had a piece of shrapnel end up in his eye (had to have an ER doctor excise it).

am venkata narayana doing mbbs.this is an experience of mine.at the time of incident happened i was travelling from my place to hyderabad in a train.my friend dropped me in the railway station and the train left the station late as usual.on the train i met a person who was from hyderabad.we both sat at the door of coach hanging our legs freely.we were lost in our chitchat deeply that that we forgot that another station was coming.the other person raised his legs while we were in our chat.i did not raise my legs and i was hanging them freely.as the station arrived my legs were struck between the train and the cement bars of the platform.the cement bars has enough gap to accomodate anyones' legs and they have empty sapce below them.my legs are below cement bars and they were below them as the train entered the platform and until it stopped.my legs brushed the cement bars on their lower side from starting of the platform to the end of it.after the train stopped i took out my legs and there were skin deep injuried on the top of my foot.there was a lot of blood near the door.i tied a hanky around my foot.then i reached hyderabad and took some medication.this was the oddest injury i have ever got.

I don't have a significant other, but I am the klutzy one anyways. I am always tripping up stairs and bumping my head and stuff.
