These people suffered some extremely dumb kinds of injuries. Sometimes klutzy just takes the reins, and all comes undone. We hope that they've had plenty of time since they injured themselves to recover in full.

    Text - blackmidianxiety 6h My eye was cold so I put a big round Christmas light that had been on for awhile on my eyelid and burnt my eyelid. My step sister was the only one who watched it play out and just said from across the room, "Um what the fuck"

    Text - FloralBison 6h I played rugby for 6 years, mostly as a loose forward and never had any injury whatsoever. Maybe a nosebleed or black eye once or twice per season, but nothing serious. I have been on crutches for a week, torn my meniscus, and nearly separated my AC joint (I'm talking couldn't put on shirts or take them off right for weeks) all from ultimate frisbee. The irony absolutely isn't lost on me.

    Text - Kypt 6h In kindergarten our teacher took us to the park that was across the street from the school. In there she devised a contest about who could climb a tree the fastest (yeah...this wasn't a very good school). I won, and since all the rest of the kids were also on the tree l ended up being the highest one. We pretty much looked like this and then this incredibly talented teacher decided once we were in that position, to do the same contest but this time to see who would get down the fa

    Text - TheRealSoupThief 7h At a previous job. There was a time I needed a staple. So I went to the office and found a stapler. So took it and tried to shoot a staple into my palm. What I didn't know was that it was an industrial stapler. So the staple inbedded itself into my palm. Very deep

    Text - PoglesBee 4h Another stapler story, but I didn't manage to staple myself. I WISH I'd stapled myself. Used to be a teaching assistant, and was making a big boat for a display, and decided to staple on an edge all the way around. The stapler was pretty stiff, but l just assumed it was an old, rubbish stapler, and went the whole way round, 200 or so times, like I was doing CPR. Turned out someone had put in staples that were too big for the stapler. My right wrist hurt a lot afterwards, but

    Text - sve818 5h I was sailing in the bay while raining and there were jellyfish in the water...my dumbass waved and shouted "ur mum gay" to my friend while the boat was tilting...long story short, i fell of the boat, headfirst, into freezing water. The boat ran me over and i got stung by a jellyfish. To top it all off, they didn't have showers or a sauna, and no medical supplies. So basically I got stung, over, and got mild hypothermia just to shout "ur mom gay" off the side of the boat.

    Text - Iv169bard 6h When I was like 4 or 5 I was at my babysitters ranch (I lived in Wyoming) and was hanging out with my sister and the 13 year old babysitters son. We always liked to climb up this shed with a wavy tin roof. It rained recently. I slid off. Landed on a rusty nail.

    Text - Accidentally opened the car door into my head (hard) when I was 11. Gave myself a concussion. Jumped into the pool awkwardly and cut up my side from my waist-through my armpit-and to my elbow on the pool bricks. Used a shoelace instead of a guitar strap. It broke, as did my toe. Tossed my skim board out into the water in front of me, ran full speed to catch up, skim board embedded itself in the sand, which caused me to kick it with all my might. Broke a different toe. Reached in a snake c

    Text - RistaRicky 6h Watched my grandfather cut open a golf ball to show me what the core looked like. After he did it, 7-year old Ricky decided to replicate the feat. Some Key differences: a vise. I used my soft fingertips. 1: he put 2: he used a power saw of some kind (I don't remember, I was 8). I had my dad's handsaw. Needless to say, the shape of the golf ball and my inexperience with tools led to more blood than I had ever seen in my short life

    Text - SaltyCarpet 6h I was going inside after playing on my scooter in the garage. There's two wooden steps that are about an inch in width to get into the house from the garage. I extended my foot into the side of the stair with such force that I fractured my toe. To this day, if I bend that toe too forcefully it does this weird quivering thing and kind of gets "stuck". Super weird.
