I'm a bit of an airhead at times and every now and again I do something that makes me laugh. My most recent accident involves my injured lip. I'm pretty sure I punched myself in my sleep. Why do I say that? Well... because... >.> I might have done it before. No! Not on purpose. I don't go out of my way to cut my lip. It just... happens. I'm sure I was punching something in my dream and ended up hitting myself instead.

Anyway...

I was just wondering if you've had any accidents worth sharing. Could be anything from hitting yourself while you sleep to putting a chicken on your head and having it poo all over you (yes, I've done that too).

Be mindful of your laughing and joking, as we wouldn't want to upset anyone. But I do believe the key to your own happiness lies in your ability to laugh at yourself. So, if you're feeling brave, share some of your personal stories that revolve around your accidental mishaps.

P.S. One more story from me. I might have poked a cactus. I don't recommend it. I was going for the light switch, missed, and jabbed my finger into my cactus. Who puts a cactus next to a light? Apparently me. And no, I haven't moved it yet. XD

I poked a cactus too!! lol. I was a little kid and I was curious xD No fun.

hmm.. Oh yeah, a pigeon entered our classroom while we were studying (I was like - 7-8) - and of course it pooped on anybody else but me. Right on my head. Everyone laughed... I was so embarrssed... xD

A bee flied around me while I was outside.. I ignored it when suddenly it got stuck in my hair and then stung me while I was trying to get rid of it.

When I was little and I was at the airport, I wanted to go outside and bumped into a too transparent glass with my face. People noticed... yeah.

There was something that I wanted but it was through a locked gate (I don't remember what I've seen there) and I somehow got my head stuck between the bars and I began to panic and cry because I couldn't get my head out, until my father helped me to get it out X_X I was a stupid child once.

At least you were a kid! I was... 23 when I poked it. XD

Wait, how did a pigeon get in the room. O.o That's the real answer I wanna know!

The glass at an airport reminds me of the Windex commercials! I too have run into that invisible stuff known as glass. Let's just say it wasn't as smooth as I would have liked, but the people that saw were impressed with how I was like - Psh, yeah, just making sure it worked. XD

Eep! And getting your head stuck sounds terrible. I would have cried, too. T_T

The pigeon flew through the window xD if I remember correctly she began nesting on the cabinet that was in the classroom or something like that

And yeah, bumping into the invisible thing is annoying lol. I personally just ran away from there asap

I opened up a sweet and went to the bin to throw the wrapper away. Ended up throwing the sweet away XP

I lent my friend 1 rand to buy some chips at school. The next day she insisted on paying me back. 1 rand is really cheap and we're really close so I refused. We ended up having a playful argument about it. Okay, so our school was a bit unique. It hand three floors (including ground) and was kinda like a doughnut, in that it had a space in the middle. In that space was a garden and if you looked down from the 1st floor (where we were standing) you could see right into it. During the argument, I smacked her hand and the 1 rand went flying down into the garden. Feeling bored, we decided to go and retrieve the money... and ended up poking around the garden for half an hour while other students and a few teachers watched and encouraged us. I'm terrified of moths and while searching, what did we happen to find? This HUGE brown moth. I freaked out and started screaming "It's attacking me" while my friend tried to swat it away. Not really a mistake, but they did talk about it for a while, teachers included. We never found the 1 rand but we did find a marble

Also, I can totally picture this. I'm sure you looked super adorable as you screamed and fled <3

Did it taste good?! It was single handedly the best wrapper I have ever had

I fled in style
I'm atleast grateful that I didn't trip or something, and embarrass myself further XD

I once was walking through my class room and tripped over a nail, fell hard, knocked by knee by the table (ow and it had metal rods for legs ;(), ended up sitting down for five minutes or more being so embarrassed I couldn't stop laughing at myself XD

And then the other time it was the stairs that led to our stage. I, being such a big shot tried to jump down (it had only three short steps x.x), caught my skirt in a nail and fell down (nails aren't really my things, I guess :D) .This time too, I was too embarrassed to stand up and I lay down there for a long time laughing while people were looking at me like crazy XD

When I was very young we were playing hopscotch and I started so drawing a really huge number 6 box, while my friends kept saying that it was too big I ignored them, being the swollen headed kid, and I tried jumping that big box with number 6 and ended up falling to the ground, and well yeah, it was embarrassing as hell XD

Recently I was walking to a tuition class and many other people were walking along with me too. I turned right in order to go to the institute and I numbed my head hard into someone :D it wouldn't have been too awkward if I had told him 'sorry' and left, but what I really did was to shout 'babulah' (doesn't have any meaning I know of, I make this sound very often for what reason I yet do not know :D) and scurried away XD

Oh, nails are definitely not friends with you, eh?

Now I feel like saying babulah

Once, when I was nine or ten, I walked into a bin. I didn't fall into the bin or anything (I'm not actually in Mean Girls), so it wasn't THAT bad, but I was at school and I was with my class and it was quite embarrassing.

Then there's all those times when I walked into a pole. Once I did that and apologised to the pole. It was really quite weird. Good thing I was alone ^^'

Also, similar to the story about throwing the lolly instead of the wrapper away, I once got a tub of yoghurt and set out to throw the container away after I finished eating it, but ended up throwing away the spoon I was eating it with.

I don't know if these classify as "accidents" but when I was little, I hardly ever wore shoes to play outside. As a result, I've stepped on countless nails. Well, not really countless, but a lot.

Also, my sister and I used to sleep in a bunk bed. My brother would sleep on the top bunk with my sister sometimes, when his room got too cold. The bottom bunk protruded out a bit, so I could see the ceiling past the top bunk (if that makes sense. I usually slept right near the edge, and both my brother and my sister have thrown up on me from the top bunk. Not fun.

This didn't happen to me, but another time, my brother was swinging on the bars of the bunk bed, and accidentally put his foot through our bedroom window.

Lesse...

Oh! I sat on a hornet, and it stung me. That one sucked.

Also, my siblings and I were playing on these giant fuel tanks that were in the field behind my house, and I fell of into a patch of greenbriar, which have hellacious thorns. Now, having taken a good many tumbles, I didn't cry - but there was a bit of muscle sticking out of the wound, and a tiny scar on my thigh to remember it by.

One last one, I was at my Grannies several years ago, and I went for a walk. I heard my Mom calling me, so - in my sandals - I ran up the gravel road. Running in sandals isn't the best idea - I tripped. I skinned my knee pretty badly, and I have a whale of a scar on my knee now.

That about sums up the worst of my childhood spills.

Muscle?! O_o
That sounds thoroughly traumatic *pets Star*

Oh, I remember that my friends had to hoist me into a bin once! We had dropped an important worksheet inside and seeing that the bin was one of those big metal ones, it was too heavy for us to tip over. I was the lightest so I had to dangle over the edge while they held my legs and then had to pull me out
Good times

I wouldn't say "traumatic", as it didn't really hurt that much. I dunno, maybe I was just in shock, but I didn't cry at all, as my mom patched it up.

I also sometimes didn't wear shoes when playing outside when I was little, though only on my family's property. However, since at the time a house was being built on said property, I have also had the misfortune to step on a nail. It was rusty, and really nasty.

Once I tripped on the stairs in my house when going up to my room. Not thinking much of it, I went to my room and to sleep. The next morning when I woke up, I basically couldn't walk and so I went to the hospital - turns out my toe was broken. Weirdly enough, that was the first time I ever broke or even fractured anything, which is surprising, considering that I broke my toe just by tripping.

Go ahead But don't blame me if people look at you as if you were a lunatic

Oh dear broken toe! And nails are bad, really freaking bad. [nod]

It happened recently.
I jumped to see an item on a shelf.
Landed awkwardly.
Sprained my toe.

Yep.

Recently, I tripped and rammed the big toe of one of my feet into the heel of the other, and got a nasty cut from my toe nail. That was certainly not a fun experience!

Ever try to impress someone by doing something cool or sexy? Well, I tried to do this twice yesterday. First time I failed and ran into the wall. Boyfriend thought it was hilarious until I glared him down. And the second time I managed to roll off the couch in slow motion. I went from sliding, to writhing in pain (his knee was on my ribs), to rolling away from him, to JUST MISSING THE POINTY TABLE, to gently falling onto the floor. He was freaking out as I laughed my butt off. It was the weirdest thing ever and I don't recommend it.

But crazy stories short, I didn't look cool whatsoever yesterday. He said I was the derpiest derp he has ever met. D:

When I was younger (11-14), I used to ride my bike around the neighborhood for hours with my friend. There are a lot of hills nearby, so I'd start coasting down a hill, stand up on the pedals, and just glide down. One time I was doing that and the back of my mind went "hey, what would happen if I squeezed the brake right now?" and before I could tell myself that was a stupid idea, I did it. Went flying over the handlebars and landed on my chin. Just flat out wrecked for no reason other than impulsive stupidity.

Guess who decided it was a good idea to let go of the handlebars of her bike while going over a speed bump?
This girl at thirteen.
Yeah.
Guess who also flew over the bike when that happened?
This girl again.
Yeah...

Here's one:

I attended a camp where the campers would be taken to an amusement park (more often than we'd like). I was on a rollercoaster with a guy and while we were upside down, I threw up and it was blown into my face. Just at that moment, the ride camera snapped without my realizing it. As I was walking out, I hear the guy laughing and look up at the screen. There's my face, full of pure horror and also that day's lunch. He bought the photo.

When I was around my teen early twenty's. I was jumping on the trampoline while talking to a friend of mine on my cell phone. just my dumb yet odd luck one of my socks got stuck on a coil. made me flip up in to the air then fall back down safely on the trampoline. I was embarrass cause at the time. I still had a crush on said friend I was talking to on the phone. but it also made me happy cause I rarely can flip myself on a trampoline.

The last two stories are the weirdest things I've read all day. I nearly don't believe them.

Haha, it was pretty ridiculous.

Another time, I was staying at my aunt's and uncle's house. It had 2 floors. I was staying on the second floor and I opened my window. The air conditioner wasnt bolted down and it fell out. It missed my uncle by an inch. The cord pulled out and whipped me across the face. My cousin was furious when she had to sleep in the heat without air conditioning.

I am just going to use a silly example that happened a month or two ago (for now).

So, after dinner was ready, I took out some peanut sauce to put on our stir fry (or plain rice, I honestly cannot remember exactly), and it turned out I accidentally unscrewed the lid slightly when I was taking the wrapper off. So, when I shook the bottle of peanut sauce, it went flying all over the area I was standing at--and all over my shirt, too. Luckily, I was not wearing a white shirt, so I was not necessarily angry, I just started laughing due to my ignorance and made a mental note to tighten the lids on sauce before I shake them.
