The dumbest thing you ever did?

[Michael88]

Running around with my tongue out when I was 3 or 4. Stumbled, hit a table board with my chin, nearly bit my tongue in half.

Bled like crazy, my mother called the ambulance and I got an emergency surgery in the hospital. My tongue still has 4 deep teeth-shaped scars.

That must have hurt so bad.

Eating ice cream when I had a cold. Which of course made it worse.

And for me? Probably swallowing a toothpick (you know those sharp, plastic ones? Yeah, one of those).

^ How did you get it out without destroying your inner skin lining thingy?
I accidentally broke part of my retainer and unknowingly swallowed it.
Lucky that it didn't tear my stomach or intestines.

Surely that's not the dumbest thing you ever did

Are you saying what I think you are?
And Matty you don't want to know why it was stupid if it is what I think it is.

Well first I got in a panic (I was quite young at the time). I went to the toilets and induced vomiting (me and my family was at a restaurant). There was some minor bleeding, but everything was fine. I just kinda had a sore throat. After thinking about it the way it went down was extremely fortunate - it could have been far worse.

I never even told my parents, or anyone for that matter. I really don't know why I didn't. They just asked me if I was okay and I said I wasn't feeling well (my face was really white).

I think he is talking about colonic irrigation.

Thats all I am saying im not getting into a talk about it.

 

[Michael88]

That must have hurt so bad.

Shattering my left elbow didn't even hurt half as bad.

Nope, the hot water bottle is supposed to be full of hot water when you go to bed..

 

[Lizard]

My dumbest thing.

Ripping a ligamennt in my shollder and thinking I should go home. Did not even go to the GP till the next week. Had surgery in feb.

We all know how painful it is to bite our tongues while eating or otherwise, I can't imagine how it must have felt to severely bitten through much of it in such a way as you are describing. And as you have said, lots of blood.

But that can't be the DUMBEST thing he has ever done.

When I was 13 me and my sister where making something to eat and after leaving the oven on for 5 minutes my sister told me to put my hand in to see if it was hot. I touched the bottom of my hand at the 160 Degrees Celsius metal in the the oven and my skin peeled away on that part of my hand.. It hurt like hell. (The burn mark was there for about a year)

Last year (I was 15) I had a candle lighting in my room and didn't look at it for a while. When I looked at it the wax was on fire (which I didn't even know was possible) and I got a glass of water to pour on it to put out the flame as blowing on it didn't work. So as I pour the water the small flames rose into a huge fireball for like a couple of seconds then the flame was gone... and water was everywhere. I still wonder how I didn't get burned at all from the fireball.

A couple years ago, I sliced my right thumb open(almost to the bone), trying to seperate two frozen burgers with a kitchen knife

That actually reminds me:

I once burned my hands while taking cookies out of an oven at school. Oven gloves weren't big enough. It wasn't really sore at all, but it was quite deep and there was white so I was crapping myself because I thought it was bone (it was actually dead skin).

Teacher later got into some deep **** because she said that going to see the nurse wasn't necessary. Still have the scars although they are faded.

Working on a car, taking of extremely thin brake discs, I thought I had it above my table, and then dropped it, it wasn't above the table, it fell down to the ground, sheering of the top of my left pinkie, like a condom, only a small piece of skin kept the rest from falling of.

Seeing a pinkie without the skin is a strange sight.

I had to "stretch" it back over my bone to get it back in place, cleaned it with brake cleaner, taped it up, and I don't even have a scar.

WTF how did you not get blood poisoning or something?

 

[Dennisch]

Brake cleaner is almost pure alcohol, at least the cans we used back then.

Also, I once drilled a 5mm drill bit into my thumb, and into the bone. Had to put the drill in reverse to get it out. My boss standing next to me almost fainted.

Ouch bet you could not keep from swearing when that happened.

I actually saw a kid messing around with a 6mill drill with the safety off pretending to drill through his hand. A lad nudged the power and he nearly crapped himself .
Even with a standard hard steel drill (wasn't even carbide) at a low spin rate I'm sure the thing would have cut right through his hand. Good job he lifted off instantly.

Actually, it only felt strange, not painful. When you hit the bone, you feel (well I did) at the top of your head.

Shearing of the top of my pinkie, and stretching it back into place, that hurts. A lot. And I mean a lot. And I ain't no sissy.

Pain is a weird thing. You would expect sharp-clean cuts to hurt less that more messy ones but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least with my experience). Then again, I haven't had a great deal of pain to deal with compared to others (yet anyway).

And if I ever saw my bone sticking out or something I'd crap myself - really.

Sharp clean ones sting and bleed a lot, rough messy ones just look bad thats all..

I accidentally sawed through my thumb to the bone with hand saw last year..

Really? Nasty...

Cuts are horrible. Luckily I haven't had much of them to deal with. The only serious injury I've ever had was a burn and it really wasn't painful after the first 2 seconds it was inflicted.
