I put on a pair of pants yesterday that had a string hanging off the pocket. I sort of wrapped the string around my finger and yanked it off like I have a thousand other times. But this time when I pulled the string dug into my finger to the point it bled, and actually bled quite a bit. When I went into the bathroom with blood running down my hand my wife just laughed when I told her what happened.
Several years ago a friend of mine was coaching his daughter’s soccer team. He grabbed a pair of socks rushing out the door he thought were his, but found out were his daughter’s when he got to the field. They were too small and really hard to get on. When practice was over he sat down to take off the socks. He was struggling because they were so tight. He had his forefinger and middle finger wedged between the sock and his leg and in trying to peel the sock off somehow got his forefinger caught in a weird way and broke his finger and tore some ligaments in it. He had to have surgery to fix it.
What is the dumbest way you ever hurt yourself?
