I'm seriously an expert on hurting myself in dumb ways. I blew up my gallbladder eating too much Channukah gelt, glitter literally almost killed me and about a week ago I may or may not have accidentally challenged a peacock to a dance-off. It didn't end well for me. Peacocks be killin it, fam.
Surely, there can't be many more people out there quite as "accident prone" as I am, right? Otherwise how would humanity have survived.
Hehehe nope! I'm wrong. Humanity (or at least Reddit) is FULL of morons who hurt themselves in ways that make no sense. I'm not alone! And neither are you guys!
Reddit user AlbinoGorillaLover asked:
What is the stupidest way you hurt yourself?
Kick back (but not too far), relax, and enjoy the shenanigans folks. We're going in!
Some Funky Mexican
Giphy
Once ate some funky mexican food and had the ability to fart on command for like two days. My sister was in the kitchen and I thought it would be funny to run in and do one of those "Jump and click heels" maneuvers, but spice up the gumbo by letting a fart go at the moment of clicking.
Well, the up-jump went well, the heel clicking succeeded, and then I just straight up crapped my pants. The shock of crapping myself sort of threw off my mojo and I fell without catching myself properly.
This resulted in me hitting my head on the counter and three stitches. Awkward scar to explain to people. I poo'ed myself so hard I needed stitches.

That Streak-Free Shine
Walked into a pane of glass so hard that I split my eyebrow open.
In my defense the glass was really, really, clean.
Brotherly Love
When I was around 5 or 6 years old my older brother, who was 7, stole my Red power ranger toy and straight up locked me in the living room as he ran away. The door he locked me in with was like half glass pane at the top and just wood towards the bottom. Through the glass pane I could see the key he'd left in the lock and I could also see his smug face holding my goddamn toy.
So what does my 5 yo mind think. Call for help? Nah. Tell him to unlock the door? Out of the question.
I friggin' smashed through the glass with my left arm to try and unlock it.
The moment my arm went through it got cut up bad and the glass obviously made a shattering sound. My brother was stood in shock just watched me cry and bleed, until he called my mum down. She was pretty panicked about the whole situation and asked what happened... to which both me and my brother couldn't explain because we were crying like mad.
From the incident I have two big parallel scars running on the underside of my arm, the rest are hardly visible because of my hairy arms.
This Skydiving Accident
Broke my arm skydiving. Fell outta the plane while it was still on the ground. Really.
Tomahawk Chop
Literally on the couch right now, hopped up on painkillers with my left hand wrapped up like Tutankhamen.
... turns out chopping firewood you're holding in one hand with a tomahawk you're holding in the other... whilst on your second beer is a pretty dumb idea.
Came within about a 16th of amputating my own pinky finger...
Sitting Too Hard
I sat down really hard and snapped my coccyx off and got a 4" vertical split up my tailbone. I can't watch videos of people landing on their tailbones without feeling like I'm going to pass out.
Scabstache
Fell asleep with facial hair removal cream on my upper lip.
Had a scab mustache for what felt like a year.
High school was hell.
The Carlton
Giphy
I was doing the Carlton at a dance club during the winter and slipped on some water, tumbled down a short set of stairs, and sprained my knee.
A Walking Disaster
Finally, my time to shine!
-Rolled into a wall in my sleep and broke my nose
-turned too quickly to try and grab something and took the corner of a mirror frame straight in the eye. Could see properly for a few day and had a Hella concussion
-walked into a speaker in a bar and split my nose open
-went through a phase (It took about 6 months for me to figure out what I was doing wrong) of slicing my hand open every single time I sliced a bread bun.
-fell backwards checking on food in the oven (drunk) and my hand flew up into the heat source (turns out I had it on the grill setting) that caused a little nerve damage across a few fingers
-most recently (yesterday) I opened the bathroom cupboard door into my cheekbone which bounced my head into the wall behind me then back into the cupboard door.
Loads of other stuff too but these were the first to spring to mind
I'm a walking disaster.
Numb
Got diarrhea so bad, sat on the toilet so long, both of my legs fell asleep and went completely numb, then I fell down trying to walk out of the bathroom.
Some jobs really don't serve a purpose to society, or they are a relic of times past that society has yet to say goodbye to.
<p>We don't mean artists, of course: artists are essential to the growth and comfort of society.

What A Jerk
<p>My History teacher in 9th grade. 1970's style, grey chest pubes popping out of his shirt with a gold necklace entangled in them. well over the line of obese but still not waddling. This was right after 9/11, so we all had to wear IDs around our necks and he'd always stare at girls' boobs saying he was checking ID. He used to give me detention if I walked in the class when the bell was ringing, but if anyone showed up after me it was fine. Made it a point to give me a hard time and belittle me in class, and I even had a meeting about it with him with out principal. Nothing happened of course because he'd been working there for 20 years. </p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/mm3as2/what_was_the_worst_teacher_you_ever_had/gtozbsj?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3">mmm-pistol-whip</a><br></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_9" style="min-height:280px"></div>

That’s some alien sh*t.
<p>I have several halo nevi on my back. A halo nevus is a mole that is detected by one's own skin as not cool so the skin proceeds to remove it my eating its melanin. It first creates a white halo around the mole, then grows inwards until it "eats" the mole. When it's done I'm left with a white circle with no melanin in it. </p><p>Usually halo nevi are supposed to re-pigment with time but mine never did so I basically have several coin-sized white spots with zero sun protection. Because of this I was forced to stay away from the sun as much as possible since I was a child. The unexpected positive consequence of this is that my skin is in pretty good condition for my age.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/julie_f/" target="_blank">Julie_f</a><br></p><div data-conversation-spotlight style="min-height:90px"></div>

If I hold my breath, you can put your finger in it and feel it pulse with my heartbeat. It's a very visible pulse too. Or, if you're nasty, you can do shots out of it.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/JonnySnowflake/" target="_blank">JonnySnowflake</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_9" style="min-height:280px"></div>

Fashionable!!!
<p>Not me, but my son. You know those people who have a random streak of white hair? Well my son, who is blonde, has a big streak of dark brown hair. It just grows that way, and people used to ask if I was dyeing that part of his hair.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/TopCod5724/" target="_blank">TopCod5724</a><br></p>Now THAT’S a useful talent.
<p>I don't feel much pain. My brain does but I don't register like half of it. Had a kidney stone and it felt like I was constipated. Except when I was throwing up every 20 minutes and trying to pass out.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Armchairengineer1960/" target="_blank">Armchairengineer1960</a><br></p><p>Definitely not to same extent as you, but I'm similar. Often times I'm not in pain until I realise I should be if that makes sense? Like I'll feel the sensation, but until I pin point what's happened it won't feel like pain.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/denybeing/">Denybeing</a><br></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_10" style="min-height:280px"></div>

<p>Bodies are so unique and magical, but also lowkey terrifying. But hey, if you got it, flaunt it, right</p>
