I will give 2 ways. First I was holding staple gun and pulled the trigger and got a staple in my finger which required a tetanus shot. . Second was I did another with a blender blade on the base. My hand healed up after a few weeks.

A friend had been driving and had just dropped me off in a small town in Nicaragua. I was talking to my friend through the open front passenger window and took a step backward. I stepped right into an open man hole. It wasn't too deep but landed on the edge with my ribs getting full impact. It cracked a few of them and broke a good camera I was carrying for my driver friend.

I once twisted my arm and hurt my back (was in pain for at least 2 weeks) after stumbling while trying to catch a small box of falling taco shells. True story. I also once hurt my tailbone when I slipped on a banana peel in a Carl's Jr. Who brings a banana there? Another true story.

cut off two of my fingers on left hand not paying enough attention to what I was doing.

Oh my! My ex cut off parts of two of his fingers in two separate accidents but still had the use of both fingers. We had a man in our shop that lost two fingers to an engine cuz he had a rag wrapped around his hand and got too close. It does give me a new perspective on your left-handed thumbs up though!

when I was in the service they couldn't find steel-toed boots small enough to fit me. As a result, I was always tripping up stairs.

I was riding my bike and came upon two posts on the sidewalk and knew I could make it going right between them. I didn't, fractured my elbow in the process. hahaha I'll never do that again.

Ouch! Did you get a cast? I once got my bike tire stuck in the little trench beside the sidewalk where they had edged the grass and I thought if I went really fast and turned my wheel I could come back up on the sidewalk that didn't work either I ended up cutting my leg on the bike chain. A few days later when my mom saw me doctoring it she said it should have had stitches. She's right I still have the scar.

Doing kicks in my living room. Specifically getting too close to the wall and smashing my left big toe against the wall. The pain radiated all the way up to my left hip. Somehow stumbled onto the nearest E.R.

Oh no! Was it broken? I sprained my toe just a few weeks back and I couldn't even put my foot on the floor I thought it was broken but they x-rayed it and it wasn't. -

ER xrays showed my big toe was broken. We both can relate to foot injuries. Glad your foot wasn't broken. -
Linda Joy
Yes, I've broken both ankles in the past.

I cut off one of my fingers. I intended to cut off a fake finger. But I cut off the wrong one. Dave Lister fastened it back on with staples, but he didn`t fix it on straight & now it sticks out at an odd angle.

I fell into the same old trap and got remarried. Should've known better.
