Crap injuries

Last night, I watched The Bill. Nothing major there, I do that every week. However, in a commercial break, I spilt what can only be described as 'the ashtray' on the floor. Being the tidy sort of chap I am, and also noticing the hoover staring at me from across the room, I thought I would set to work on clearing up my clumsy error.

While I had the hoover out, I thought I may as well give the floor a quick once-over, and then utilised the snake-like-sucky-endy-bit to get in the gap by the sofa. Then disaster struck. As I stretched the snake-thing to reach the gap, the Hoover toppled down upon my pretty face.

I woke up five seconds later with blood streaming down my face. I now have a crap lump and cut on my once perfect face. I am unhappy.

    Quality! but as soon as you mentioned hoover I thought the story was going to go in a whole different direction!

    I once got a black eye from my 3 year old cousin THROWING a ping pong ball at my face!
    • Re: Crap injuries

      I had a rib injury that I managed to exacerbate by trying to open a pack of Jammy Dodgers. I couldn't get into the packaging and in pulling it apart, when it finally gave my arms flung out in a crucifixion pose, popping something in my chest. I cried like a kid with a skinned knee
  • Re: Crap injuries

    Haha, brilliant. My new slippers caused me to fall down the stairs last week, I hurt myself pretty bad and had to call in sick to work cos I couldn't sit down properly but was too embarassed to tell them the real reason, had to feign a migraine instead. Glad to hear it's not just me that's afflicted with this kind of clumsiness!
  • Re: Crap injuries

    I dropped a plate of piping hot, homemade spaghetti and meatballs on my lap about an hour before I was due to leave for a Super Furries gig. Unfortunately, I failed to rip my trousers off quickly enough and was left with 3 meatball-shaped burns on my upper thighs which were incredibly painful all night and later required treatment from a doctor!
  • Re: Crap injuries

    I nearly sliced my finger off the other day with a pair of so-called friendly scissors, probably from the Consortium. It really hurt but didn't start to bleed til about 5 minutes later, wierd.
    I also had a big bruise on my leg from where my husband threw a joystick at my leg with geat force because he was losing....
  • Re: Crap injuries

    Funny you should mention crap injuries. I currently have a massive scab on my forehead from Friday night, when I accidentally touched a red hot gas heater with my forehead. Hurt like a bitch, too.
    • Re: Crap injuries

      I did a simliar thing in the chippie after the footie the other week, only I put my chin on that metal heater/display counter thing they have in there. Had a scab on my chin which looked like I'd shaved with a flymo for two weeks. I hate crap injuries.
  • Re: Crap injuries

    My mate had a leg injury from sitting in the same position playing GTA3 for too long....I shit you not...
    • Re: Crap injuries

      A scarred foot from getting it impaled upon a heating pipe in the school canteen. It bled loads, and I had stitches and everything. It looks a bit rough now when I wear open toed sandals :(
  • Re: Crap injuries

    A friend of mine decided to jump off a 10 foot wall while off it and landed on his face almost severing his tongue. He was packed into an ambulance and had to have his tongue stitched back together!
    • Re: Crap injuries

      When I was five, I went pelting down a hill on a wee plastic Postman Pat van. I hit a kerb and skidded along the road, using my lips as brakes.

      I was on soft foods for a week.
      • Re: Crap injuries

        hahahaha cant help but laugh
        aww the mental image...tears in me bastard eyes
        • Re: Crap injuries

          i fell off the roof of a 4x4 and broke my collar bone once.
          • Re: Crap injuries

            I hate The Bill - used to be good, now it's just a soap.

            Lets see - crap injuries.

            1) Got up from the sofa, had one foot inside of my trouser leg bottom and fell onto the table bending three fingers back.

            2) Had a dream that someone broke into my house, got up half asleep to see and fell down the stairs - wound up in A&E with concussion the next day.

            3) Big red blotch on my foot from where my horse stood on it and didn't move despite me screaming.

            4) Got electrocuted when I was fighting with a gate to let a horse in and keep two from coming out.
          • Re: Crap injuries

            Crappest ones I can remember are a boiling cuppasoup spilled all over my gonads, hotknife dropped between the toes and holding a bendybar bodybuilding thingumy with the handles touching until one handle slipped out my hand, it sprang open and hit me on the chin.

            For a while in the eighties, me and my mates all walked about with regular hotknife burns on our faces, through doing them on our own with no bottle, a slip, ssss, burn on mouth area. Explaining them to parents/teachers is a laugh.
        • Re: Crap injuries

          Well done Bamos, i guess you deserved it for watching the bill.

          i tend to avoid injuries, i supposed breaking my hand because i skidded in some mud at leeds a couple of years back was a bit shit....not entirely embarassing thought.

          i just found a magnet under my bed advertising 'Kevin' at angelfire.com/on4/onthelineuk/. how odd.
          • Re: Crap injuries

            An ex putting eyedrops in for me after she'd been cutting chillis was bags of fun. Milk poured over the eye eventually eased the pain.

            I also once got told I had to go to hospital to pick up antibiotics for a bad eye infection. I went up hotknived out of my face, they took one look at my eye and decided I needed eyesurgery immediately.

            All the hotknives enhanced the eye operation experience immensely.
  • Re: Crap injuries

    I once trapped a nerve around my shoulder blade by leaning forward slightly to dry my face.

    As I leaned forward a shooting pain went through my shoulder/back, followed by a persistent ache/more shooting pain if I moved much and I had to take the day off work.
    • Re: Crap injuries

      Whilst sneaking into my sister's room to borrow her cds, I forget which, I stepped on a needle embedded in the carpet.

      Barefoot.

      It went right into my big toe and it bled for ages, but for some reason it didn't hurt. Which made it feel a bit pointless or something. Suppose it serves me right for 'borrowing' without asking.
      • Re: Crap injuries

        One of my late friends was told by his woodwork tutor to stop coming into class drunk. She told him to come in sober and see the difference. He went in sober and guided the end of his finger into a band saw, splitting it right down the centre like a banana.
  • Re: Crap injuries

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry with some of these!!

    I once dropped my walkman whilst riding downhill on my bike, pulled the breaks to stop quickly and went ove the handlebars breaking both arms and needing a stitch in my chin...ha just remembered they left the string too long and it looked like a whisker haHA.

    Another time at a Green Day concert when I was 15 my friend kicked me in the face whilst crowd-surfing...she was wearing steel toe caps.
    • Re: Crap injuries

      i once managed to pull a muscle in my back whilst dozing infront of the snooker. and the other day i pulled my achilles whilst sitting in a bar...
      • Re: Crap injuries

        I broke my toe by kicking a door imitating whatever footie match i was watching at the time... and broke my wrist by hurting it playing in goal, then passing out from the pain and falling on it.
        • Re: Crap injuries

          I was playing in a football match...storming up the wing from my position of full back, my run pierced the defence as the ball was lofted over the top...anticipating the moment at which I would hit the ball on the volley and watch the net ripple...









          ...at which point I ran into the fucking goal post.
  • Re: Crap injuries

    i was shot in the face when paintballing. that was painful.
    • Re: Crap injuries

      i fell over and split my head open while running around excitedly trying to get ready for a big night out. i didn't get to go out at all, instead i got stitches. it was rubbish.
      • Re: Crap injuries

        Speaking of pulling muscles sitting down, my mate once collapsed on the floor of my house, claiming (loudly) that he'd 'torn his hamstring'. Bit of an anticlimax, turned out he had cramp in his leg.
        • Re: Crap injuries

          One of my ex's was playing Crash Bandicoot on the Playstation at mine. She was stuck and smashed a DualShock Analogue controller on her head before bursting into tears.

          I fell out of a moving taxi while arguing with an ex. I hit the road hands first. I was wearing big skull rings, which disintegrated and were embedded in my hand, above the knuckles. I had to go home and dig all the pieces out with a compass.

          Was at the top of a treelined hill, one of Scotlands baby mountains. Had taken a load of mushrooms, both psilocybin (?), the pointy ones, and phliagaric (?) the red ones with white spots from cartoons. Started to vomit badly after 18 hours of constant shroom topups. Had to descend the hill in darkness to try and catch the last bus back to Glasgow. It drove by me without stopping, but stopped further down the unlit road. I ran to get it and fell head first down a workmens six foot deep hole in the road. Escaped with just a bang on head from a pipe, but got completely covered in all manner of muck. Had to walk through Glasgow citycentre on a Saturday night like this to get home. This was the late eighties and just before Britains citycentres became magnets for saucereyed types completely covered from head to foot in mud and crap.
  • Wow

    You really got knocked out by your hoover?

    That's actually very manly. You know the Jaws homage scene in Chasing Amy? You can now invent a wild, sex-related reason for your scarring.

    Anyway, poor you. Have a kiss: x

  • excellent

    you are very worldly, mr. baker.

    • Why thank you

      Mr Joe.

      • you also get hotknives

        for cutting rope, it stops it fraying aterwards. They have a heating element in the blade.

        • I was having my

          yearly boiler inspection today and opened all the windows to let some fresh air in. About 20 minutes ago a breeze toppled over about 150 tapes and 40 minidiscs which veered out from the wall and hit me in the face when I turned round to see what was happening.

          Found some good tapes though when tidying them up, including John Peel ones from 1991 which my family and girlfriend at the time recorded and played to me when I was lying in a coma after crap injuries.

          • Every cloud has a silver lining

            'Scotsman attacked in falling tape hell'

            • A lot of

              the tapes have titles like that cut from newspapers as their titles. Cheery things like Baby Slashed, Stabbed 20 Times, Drunken Youth Hit Mother, Crocodile Shanty Town Weapons Raid, Killer Dwarf Guilty etc. Just found a tape with a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion session from Mark Radcliffe, 2/10/96, huzzah.

  • Damn

    I thought this thread was going to be about injuries suffered whilst crapping.

    • Mr_JD

      goes low brow...Chortle-cum-hardy

      • I bought lots of pottery

        in Chorlton-cum-Hardy from the great pottery shop with a kiln at the back, including a triangular pottery battery-driven clock.

        • what

          colour is it ?

          • Different colours

            with patterns.

            • How old is it

              how much did it cost ?

              I've got a nice clock a relative blagged from the video shop she worked in. I dropped it into an electric fire and it has a nice burn across the front of it.

              • Coma???

                Tell more about the coma.

                Of course, if you don't want to that's fine. Just intrigued.

                • I took too much

                  drink and drugs, fell 30ft onto my head and woke up about 2 weeks later but didn't have a clue about anything for weeks afterwards and probably still don't. I've got about four holes sawn out of my skull for surgery and massive scarring on my head. My right leg nearly fell off as well, calf torn off and had to be stapled back on. I'm available for functions and after dinner speeches.

                  • That!

                    Is fucking gnarly.

                    I'll never look at you (your screen name) the same again.

                    HARDCORE!

                    • I'm actually tempted

                      to put on a dinner party, give cadd £500 and let him talk about his injuries and stories for two hours. Best show EVER.

                      • Blackpool next year

                        On holiday in Spain one year I obtained a slight cut on my little toe whilst swimming in the Med. On the way back from holiday 2 days later (travelling 1500 miles by bus) my foot swelled to twice it's normal size, producing agonising pain in the process. I had to be carried on and off the Ferry (did nowt for the ego) and then was carried to the nearest hospital upon my return home. Turned out it had got badly infected foot due to raw sewage in the sea. Another few hours and i would have been on the express train to Amputated Footsville, the doctor said.

                      • Thanks bamos

                        I need to give a speech tomorrow and I'm being paid with a raffle ticket.

  • I drank some ladyboys

    as in the Alan Partridge invented cocktail of a baileys, a gin and tonic and a pint of lager, fast, one after the other.

    Then I closed the edge of a big heavy, student accomodation door on my finger, snapping the end off and revealing a shiny white bone. I said to the doctor- will I still be able to play the guitar, and he said, 'not as well', which wasn't true, but it does still hurt when it gets cold, or when I really hammer it on the bass.

    Does anyone fancy playing bass in my band? It hurts to do gigs.
