gotten my self a huge gauge in my leg about 9mm in length, as when i was 9 i was bringing the milk in from the front doorstep and pushed the door to with my foot, ending result my foot went through the glass part.

was very painfull, but the Doctor gave me a free McDonalds voucher and a bravery certificate so it all felt better after getting it stitched :D

that is a very interesting point. my wife can be the same. im generally a very laid back person, but i do have a temper that can be summoned quite quickly. even when its clear im going to explode my wife continues to make my blood boil.

needless to say, i have broken plasterboard walls, doors, thrown phones (or whatever else happens to be in my hands) at walls.

i would never hit her or my boy, but i can understand the sudden need to release tension.
 
Luckily I've had no injuries since I was a kid. Just as well really because, as my mother said, I didn't really go in for for your average injuries (broken bones, etc).

I was always a sucker for eating/drinking things that I shouldn't as a very young child. It started at around 10 months, when I figured out how to get the cap off a bottle of Jeys Fluid. Much screaming ensued and off to hospital I went.

Not satisfied with that, at 3 years old I figured out how childproof caps worked. After complaining of not feeling well, it transpired I had decided to eat a whole tub of paracetemol. Off to the hospital for a stomach pump.

I jumped off a wall when I was about 5, my knees hit my chin and my teeth went straight through my tongue. Muffled screaming and off to the hospital to have it stitched back on.

Not long afterwards, myself and a friend were re-enacting some Star-Wars scenes with big pointy sticks when, and this is the bit that generally makes people wince, I got a splinter in my left eyeball. Can't remember much of what happened after that except having to wear this HUGE patch over my eye for ages.

Things died off for a while until I was about 7, when I decided to miss the teacup and pour a whole kettle of boiling water over myself. I remember that hurting a hell of a lot. I've still got a faint burn scar on my chest some 25 years later...

There's others including a knife through my thumb, toxic chemicals in my eyes (and people wonder why my eyesight is bad) and countless rugby injuries but like ToastedCheese, I've not really had a serious injury since I left home. Wonder if it was all an elaborate ploy to get rid of me? :p

Well ive done something really stupid, during an arguement my temper got the better of me and i took it out on a wall. Thought it was plasterboard, but it was brick :(

Result = immense pain that caused me to vomit, near pass out and go into shock due to the fact ive broken 2 bones in my right hand. :(

Now i usually have a very high threshold for pain, but damn this hurt. My hand grew a bump the size of half a tennis table ball where the bone was sticking up. I did take photos but they are on the g/fs phone. Luckily im off work for 2 weeks anyway but i had a huge list of jobs to that i now cant. And trying to use a pc with my left hand is a nightmare.

Like ive said, i know it was stupid so i dont need telling.

What silly injuries have you suffered snd how did you get them?

Pretty much the same thing (and pain experience!) as you.

Years ago, I worked for Dixons in Newcastle under Lyme, one day whilst up in the stock room, I decided to indulge in "box punching" - which we used to do a lot!

Alas, for me, the box I dcided to whack contained huge JVC speakers which had little if any packaging - they were flush fit inside the box.
The effect was the same as your wall punching - I got 2 weeks off work! :o :D

Punching things is our method of anger management. It's probably hard to understand if you've not got a temper like some of us - but the uncontrollable urge to let out you steam/anger is unbearable.

same here :p
parents **** me off something rotten sometimes, and i just lose my cool, i walk out the room and punch the first in-animate object that comes across my path, be it wall, door, armchair...only thing thats got the best of me so far was the armchair (my hand was in agony for a week :rolleyes: ) everything else has needed something to hide the dent (good job the walls in my house are plaster not brick or i'd be in a similar predicament to the OP) :D

edit: as above, on subject of box punching, i was in the cold store out in the warehouse at work, and was 'annoyed' with my manager, punched some boxes half way down a roll-pallet(te?) only to have the top box, containing god knows how many litres of ice fall on my head... :( was off work for 2 days (which is half a week as i only do part time :D)

I never understood why people feel the need to punch a wall. Of COURSE its going to hurt, when have you ever punched a wall and thought "oooh, that feels sooooo good!" ?

Perhaps you should go back to the beginning of this thread and actually read through it, perhpas then you wont ask a question that has already been answered :D

i don't understand why angry people feel the need to hit stuff to calm themselves down. I don't really know what i'd do since i'm quite a docile person and whenever I do get angry about something, i usually just supress it in. But then again I used to see a Psychiatrist twice a week.

If i get angry and stressed enough that i get teary im gone, If somethings in my way its going to get kicked, slammed, hit, broken, thrown.

Not to solve my anger but because ive cracked it after taking a lot and i go into a mini rage.

The door has many holes in it from when i have kicked and hit it shut:o

Ive only ever once raged on a living thing though and that was a guy in my class :p
 
Last sunday i was motocrossing and a lapper tried to get out of my way causing me to hit him.

I ended up with 3 broken metatarsels and a broken big toe, he had a graze and a black eye.

8 weeks of healing, but im off to spain in 4 weeks. Better get resting. Also ill have to gain my strength and fitness back before i get on my bike.
