What is the dumbest way you’ve been injured?
For me, it was falling off the ladder at work while carrying a large box. Hurt my neck from it. How about you guys?

I didnt get hurt but I saw two marines toss a 10 lb circular peice of scrap metal to eachother like it was a frisbee. Saw them later in sick bay with fractured wrists.
About 22 years ago attempted to stomp on a coconut while I was walking the family collie, and ended up spraining my ankle very badly. A year later I managed to sprain the same ankle while walking with my sheltie in Mississippi. I now have lost approximately an inch of flexibility in that ankle, and I can predict the weather with it.
Oh so many ways. I walk into shit a lot, like walls and doors. Years ago I was in a huge fight with my ex husband and kicked the wall, hit the stud so I kicked it again a few inches over. Pretty sure I fractured my big toe. It hurt for years and still does if I move it the wrong way. About 5 weeks ago I was talking, with my hands of course, and whacked the top of my hand on the corner of the giant work table at the bakery. It's still swollen and hurts if I bend it wrong. Damn I'm smooth.
Once, when it was dark, I walked into a wall, smacking my forehead hard in the process.
I stubbed my toe against the corner of the stove so hard I split my toe bone down the middle. My foot was black and blue forever after that.
I also fell down a flight of stairs and bruised my ribs pretty good.
I've never been seriously injured, but possibly the dumbest thing I did as a kid involved a basketball and my wire-rimmed glasses.
I'm pretty sure I was in seventh grade (so eleven or twelve) and I was on my own bouncing the basketball harder and harder in front of me and catching it. For some damn stupid reason, I decided to lean forward over the ball and fling it at the floor as hard as I could. It bounced up much faster than I could move my hands to catch it, smacked into my glasses and the nose-piece gouged a furrow in my eyebrow.
Fifty years on, I've still got a little gap in my left eyebrow.
My dude pulled me onto his lap and tore something in my knee. I was out of work for two months.
One time I blinked and pulled my neck muscle. In da hood we don't show weakness so then I just stabbed a nigga and acted it out like it was an old rape injury that came to surface
