Accidental self injury

I'm clumsy as fuck. I fall down, get a scrape, get a bruise. It never ends.

When I was little, the teachers used to actually ask me if I was being hurt by my Mom because I was always black and blue.

I have a big 6 inch (hehe) burn mark on my leg, from my first time roasting marshmallows. And this was 3 months ago. It was on fire, and I FLUNG it... it landed on my pants and they caught on fire, causing it to leave a burn mark...

It's all goooood.

I had a recent one. On Monday I was sitting in the car, I had the keys, opened the door, Locked the door before I closed it as I usually do, closed the door and started walking forward but was pulled back by something. I turned around and there was my finger with the door closed on it, I proceeded to unlock the door, pull out my finger, vomit and then faint (because I'm cool like that). It's the first broken bone i've broken.

Same as Venus happened to me with the tea thing when I was about 5-6 but was on my hand, it bubbled up like a scon .

Double post fail on my part.

Two days ago I was getting out of my dad's car as he dropped me off at school, and I was saying my goodbyes, I smacked the door in my face and gave myself a headache.

As a kid, I used to get scraped knees all the time while I was playing or something, I'm really clumsy. That and I constantly chew on the insides of my cheek and I bit it several times.
And another time, while I was in my dad's car. There's a little lighter in the car for your cigar, you're just supposed to put the bud of the cigar against the heated button, and I put my finger on it because I was checking to see if it worked because the car wasn't on. It worked.

I have a couple professional kitchen knives that I use for cooking. I prefer them because they are durable, well crafted, and sharp. Very sharp. They also hold their edge well and a lot longer than cheap knives. I take my precious babies to be professionally sharpened twice a month. I keep my knives sharp enough that if I drag the tip over a piece of paper I have dangling from my fingertips, it will easily slice right through it with nary a tear. Make no mistake: my knives are sharp.

I was mincing a bundle of parsley when I nicked the top of my fingernail. No biggy. I keep going when I noticed blood. I notice a lot of blood. Turns out I had sliced clear through my fingernail into the nail bed.

Side note: the benefit of sharp knife is that if you do cut yourself, the cut is cleaner, heals quickly, and tends to hurt a lot less, or sometimes not at all.

a week ago i cut my finger chopping onions
i've had scary papercuts, and i get endless bruises from not looking where im going and walking into furniture
this is all without counting hangovers

so, what are your boo boos?
and do they ever make you feel stupid?

I bite my nails... it's a nervous habit
I somehow wake up in the morning with a bruise...
I almost ran into a wall at school for texting and not watching where I was going XD
(My personal favorite) I walked into the dentist's office, and they had just washed the windows... not realizing what a door looks like... I run straight into a glass pain window that looks exactly like the door next to it. The secretaries were laughing at me as I walked through the RIGHT door XD... and I didn't just bump... I like ran into it and like fell down XD

Yeah, probably something you might not want to mention here... Shouldn't we encourage people not to cut?
says sarcastically... "Thanks for the tip!"

*eyeroll* No, honey. I mean that if you have a kitchen knife, keep it sharp, so if you do fuck up you won't be as damaged by it.

lol...once I closed (yeah..I..me) the car's window on my poor finger accidentaly...but the dumbest part is...that I didn't even notice I was doing it..I tought it was my dad..so stupid

Mine did that, my legs were all bubbly, that really scared me.
My brother said to "have a shower" and I would be fine.
When I woke up in hospital after having a seizure and passing out, he was crying from guilty and apologising heaps.

I always, always, always fall right on my ass. Like, in PE. On the hard floor. I literally bruised me ass. Or on the wet grass.

hahahahahah this just made my night XD

I was cutting an apple, then I had an itchy face and I went to scratch my face, FORGETTING THERE WAS A KNIFE IN MY HAND. I got a minor cut, clumsy me.

Also this didn't hurt me but I'll add that I was drinking some lemonade once, and it tasted sugarless. I, not knowing what would happen, decided to add my own sugar.

I ended up very sticky.

Oh! Once when I was cutting something with a butter knife, I was pressing so hard and it slipped and cut into my finger. A butter knife. It was blunter and cut worse than a stake knife ever did when it slipped.

Also, I cut my ankle on a rusty door, you could see the bone, it was a heavy door.

I sprained my ankle turning off my alarm clock last month. That was a tough one to explain at the hospital
