Although I help to run my own business, my first priority is to preserve my sense of humor by being the most important human to my cat Toto and following Bored Panda of course!

Hey Pandas, What Is The Weirdest Way You've Gotten Hurt/Sick?
I once was at a party and we were having a dance party. I was trying to be funny and try to do the worm. I dived into the ground, but when I was midair, this dude came buy and hit me in the face. He broke my nose. So yeeah..........never do the worm kids! lol.

Purposefully stepping on a piece of glass out of pure curiosity.

I'm known for managing to injure myself in really stupid ways (falling up the stairs instead of down; sitting and chatting with my mom and watching my hand suddenly going rogue, poking my eye with my thumb without intending to move my hand at all; etc). The one injury that made my doctor say "...you did this HOW?" and then walk down the hall to get two of the other doctors on staff so I could repeat my story to them: I partially tore my Achilles tendon while sleeping. Nobody else was in the bed with me, no animals were on the bed - just me and a bunch of pillows. As far as the doctor and I could figure, I must have had a leg cramp in the middle of the night which caused my leg to automatically shoot out to stop it. I never woke up. When I went to stand up the next morning I put my left foot on the floor and immediately crumpled to the ground. I was on crutches for about a month for an injury sustained while I slept.

Using a cross-point/Phillips screwdriver while working underneath a piece of equipment. Dropped it and tried to "catch" it before it hit the ground and bounced away. Instead, managed to get it stuck IN my hand (it was dangling from my palm when I brought my hand up) by slamming my hand on it while the handle was on the ground. Better *or* worse reflexes, and I'd have been O.K. Thankfully, no permanent damage other than the plus-shaped scar.

February over a decade ago I was notified my grandfather was dying during a horrific meeting with my micromanaging hateful boss. Later that night, I thought I’d apply more “effort” and log in. I went downstairs and opened the right door to the refrigerator. Seconds flew by as a heavy stainless steel coffee pot smashed into the bridge of my nose from a shelf overhead. I oddly looked at the LED clock on the oven and it was precisely 11:11 PM as my head was snapping back at the blunt force. To make matters worse, my metal glass frames sliced the bridge of my nose at at 45 degree angle. That’s when I knew blood would be next. I grabbed the kitchen towel while keeping my head in the position it landed in. I carefully walked back upstairs and prepared to take a look. Next thing I did was get super glue out of my nail kit and cleaned the blood out of the sliced nose. After drying it, I superglued the wound perfectly matching up the skin. I called someone to take me the ER. After being asked what happened... I said, “my cat tried to murder me. He had been playing with the cord to the coffeemaker and it got stuck in the door hinge. The rest is physics.”

I live in Tucson Arizona. I wear a cross-shoulder bag for doggie stuff when I walk. One day I am walking them like always. They stopped and I leaned over to adjust their leashes, causing my shoulder bag to slid a little bit. That’s when I felt it. STAB. STAB. Searing hot pain in my shoulder. I shook my shirt and figured it was nothing serious. A few hours later I could barely sit up, I’m so dizzy, and the vertigo was intense. The room spun and if I stood the floor zoomed away from me. This went of for a full week. I had to basically crawl to the door to let my dogs out. My only guess is that a scorpion dropped down from a tree and it got upset when my bag nudged it.

I was hit with the H1N1 flu while exploring the crater of a volcano in of a tropical rain forest. Descending into the crater I felt a scratchy throat and chills that progressed to a growing malaise. The climb out of the crater and hike down the volcano became progressively difficult. By the time we arrived back at the cottage, my hiking partner (who is an MD) administered my first dose of Tamiflu which was unavailable anywhere else on the island. I was lucky my friend packs a complete first aid kit with antibiotics plus other medications that he deems essential. I was out of bed and on the trails just 3 days later thanks to the Tamiflu. An ER doctor (next door neighbor) was amazed at my rapid recovery. I gave him the remainder of the medication to administer as he saw fit. The country is Dominica, the second poorest nation in the Western hemisphere and ranks higher in health care metrics that the USA. A few years ago Dominica was #37 and the USA came in at #38. They have a universal single payer public health system that serves everyone. No one will lose coverage due to job loss, illness, or pre existing conditions. They are a very blessed people.Show All 12 Upvotes

When I was about 7 or 8, I wanted to see if a rake would really flip up if I stepped on it the way I had seen in cartoons. Yes it does. Knocked myself out and broke my nose.

I’m a volunteer for an assistance dog charity. I look after a “puppy” from about 8 weeks old until 14 months. I do all the house training and general obedience stuff. They live with me while I’m training them. I only mention this because if you’re going to injure yourself, you’d think it would be the 10 month old, 40Kg German Shepherd puppy. It wasn’t the puppy. I have a rescue dog as well. She’s 18 months old and about 15Kg. She looks like a whippet. She’s absolutely beautiful but has no sense of direction or self preservation. As she’s new to us she also has no recall so she’s on a lead while we’re walking her. You’re all thinking it’s the dog’s fault! Nope! It’s more stupid than that. I walk them both in the same fields but at different times. I need to concentrate on one dog at a time at the moment so, separating their walks allows me to concentrate on each one’s training needs. I walk the huge German Shepherd through the fields, he’s having a great time! I accidentally step sideways off the path into a hole and almost go flying! No harm done, must look where I’m going etc. Now we come to dog 2. She’s not allowed off the lead and is a bit of a pain at the moment as she learns how to walk nicely. Lovely walk even if she’s a bit over excited. Then we come to the bit with the hole. I’m going to be very careful. I was so busy looking out for the hole, I forgot to look at the dog. She ran right under my foot as I was about to put it down. You guessed it! I panicked about accidentally treading on her and instead stepped sideways into the hole I was looking out for. Dog was fine, I was in a plaster cast for 8 weeks. TL;DR stepped in a hole I already knew was there to avoid treading on the second dog I’d walked past it.

We had a huge chest freezer with a broken lock. Somehow I managed to slam the door down on my left pinky and it locked. I couldn't pull my finger out and no one was home. I stood there crying with a broken finger in a freezer for a couple of hours before someone came to rescue me. I was about 12.

Where to start.. When I was 12, I fractured my wrist in a marshmallow fight. I caught my hair in a vacuum cleaner when I was 20 (more embarrassment than injury). At 22, my boss set me on fire while teaching me how to weld (2nd degree burns only thanks to protective gear). In 2014 while on vacation, I got sun poisoning on both feet, broke 2 toes on a rock while snorkeling, and sliced open my other foot on some coral (all within 72 hours). Basically, I'm the Queen of Stupid Injuries.

I strained my wrist by being knocked over by the wind.

Was watching my older brother dropped tiny pieces of broken glass onto a spinning bike wheel to see the pieces fly (bike was upside down). One hit me right in the eye. Had to spend a whole summer with an eye patch while it healed. Still have a scar that causes street lights and headlights to "starburst" when it's wet out.This Panda hasn't followed anyone yet
