Oops

[jediX]

I'm too lazy to type up the complete stories right now, but if anyone wants to hear further elaborations, say so.

• On the way [driving] to the first day of band camp in Junior year, I was rear-ended at an intersection by a truck. If I had been looking back, glass would have hit my face.
• Earlier this year I was playing acoustic guitar, sneezed, and smacked my jaw into the body of the guitar. This forced one of my lower front teeth into my lip and made a large cut that took 3 weeks to heal.
• As a child, I sat on a cactus and almost had to go to the hospital.
• Also as a child, I almost entirely pierced my foot with a rusty nail (unintentionally -- I was running around barefoot on a pile of boards).

Wow, that got kinda out of hand. But it's ok now...I think. Let's get this back on track.

I was riding my bike once, and I was trying to stop so I wouldn't hit a retaining wall. I slowed down, but my leg got stuck between the wall and my bike pedal. And my bike is of the mountain variety, so the pedal is all spikey. It really chewed up my leg, ouch.

jediX, one word for the last one, owwwwwwww! I'd love to hear more about your OOPS experiences.

Sorry I did not mean to start a big ordeal. Sorry.

Here are some of mine... do not want to type mine all either unless you want to hear more.

• I ran into a glass wall once
• I fell ontop of a fan
• I was swinging and felt really stupid when I could not get out of that tire swing

Not very exciting... Im very cautious. Some things I am too embarrassed to say

No big, furry. And glass walls are begging to get run into. I mean really, who is the fool who thought a glass wall was a good idea? I would like to know! Anyway, I'd love to hear more.

There's such thing as a glass wall? I've never seen one...

Ok so there was this chinese restraunt. And they had this glass kinda thing to walk in be4 you went into the restruant. You went in on the left side. When we got in we were thirsty so we went to a coke machine. It was on the right side. So, instead of walking the way we entered... I went to the left thinking a door was there to exit only hitting the wall. Hard to explain.

 

[anythingmuppet]

Oh yeah those thingys. Yup I saw one too..

Alrighty then, lets see what else I can dig out of the 'bag of shame'...

When I was around eleven, I had a pair of those moon boot shoes that supposedly enabled you to jump higher. Needless to say, they were a big scam. Anyhow, I was jumping around in them without socks on the second floor of my house to impress my Mom's friend. I must have lost my balance and fell down the stairs, tearing my ankles wide open on the plastic foot area of the things. The scars didn't go away until a few years ago.

Follow-up to the nail story:
At our old house (that we lived in from when I was born till 4th grade), we had a fire-burning fireplace. My dad had accumulated a pile of scrap wood in the back yard from various sources (friends, etc) that we used to power the fireplace so we didn't waste a lot of money on cold days. When I turned six, I began to climb up on the pile of wood in the back yard. I wasn't allowed to go on it, but I would always sneak. Anyhow, one day I had the bright idea to not wear shoes because I thought bare feet would give me better traction. So, I was running along the top of the wood pile and stepped on a nail. My Dad usually removed the nails from the boards, but he apparently had missed one. It nearly went all the way through my foot and when we removed it, we discovered it was rusty. This, for obvious reasons, was a problem, so I wound up in the hospital for the rest of the day.

Believe me: I have more of these.

Feel free to tell us any time. You can't make fun of people here.
But you can top other's stories with your own, it might be hard, but you can try.
(I have no idea whose story is the "best," but there are plenty of good ones.)

tasty metel

i got one for you guys.... *evil laugh*

my sister was about 6 or 7(?) cant really remember. she was running around the house playing. some how she was playing with a spare curtain rod. a long, thin, hollow tube. she ran around the house some more, this time with the curtain rod in her mouth while holding on to it.

she triped with it in her mouth...

... and like a cookie cutter, it gouged out a peice of her throat

not sure what happened with that, probably went to the hospital but what can you do with that kind of injury?

and this was about 20 years ago anyway
