Sh*ts and Giggles
Saw this question online and knew there might be some golden stories in this place: What’s the dumbest way you ever hurt yourself?
I’ve got a couple since I’m accident prone, but this one is probably at the top. Twelve minutes into my shift working as a stock boy, I was using a tape gun to make boxes and the damn thing kicked back after the tape broke… 8 stitches later and I have the scar to this day. Anyone throw their back out sneezing? Lol

I refuse to answer on the grounds that I may incriminate myself.
If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

One time, taking a dump, I pushed so hard I threw my back out. Does that count?

Opened my head up on a lower UHF blade antenna on an A-10 after working around the things for 5 years. The engineers decided to move it from the centerline, where’d I’d always seen and avoided it, to the lower left side under the cockpit ladder on the ‘82 & later models. First ‘82 model jet I worked on I walked smack into it edge on, snapped it off in my nugget, got 38 stitches, a REALLY bad haircut and had to replace the frappin’ thing to boot. Think it cost something like $4800 for the antenna, in 1985.
I'm still troubled by what I did for that Klondike bar...-2 -
I once tripped over my own feet while walking down my hallway and broke my foot in 3 places.
I snapped both of my bottom ribs with a sneeze when I was 18.
I tore my rotator cuff trying to wipe my own ass before I lost weight.
I cracked a vertebra in my neck when I was sitting in the back of a side-by-side. I was wearing a helmet, but we hit a bump and I hit a support strut at an odd angle. Couldn't turn my head for about 18 months, and couldn't crack my neck for 4 years after.I don't consider myself accident-prone, but all evidence points to the contrary.

Was once painting a roof and stepped back to admire my work. Compound fracture of right wrist. The cast prevented me from rolling back my wrist while riding my motorcycle so I taped a half dozen Popsicle sticks to the throttle so all I had to do was yank it back.

What the hell is a tape gun, I might need one.

I broke my leg one hour after getting the cast of from my previous broken leg. Boy was Dad mad. I’m surprised I lived through that one.

Dropped a vacuum cleaner on my foot breaking my big toe the day before my first varsity tournament. Yeah that led to some **** talk from my teammates. I also dislocated my knee getting out of a car, damn sports really did a number on my joints

Sliding into first base. No broken bones, just a 5" diameter scab on my left hip. Hint: sober people know you can over-run first base.

Was in the wrong place at the wrong time.When the bunker opened up on us I hit the deck and rolled. My butt was the highest point exposed and caught a round over my shoulder and just past my ball socket joint and out through my azz. 110 stitches and eight months later I was riding a BSA 500 CC.
