Time to make conversation - and nothing stirs conversation up among men like a good laugh at a friend's misfortune. So what's the most embarrassing accident/injury you've had? My accidents tend to boil down to me feeling stupid rather than embarrassed, but this one time when I was 14, me and some friends were out walking my dog when we found a big hollow metal pole (about 8ft long) lying on the grass. As 14 year old boys do, we started pratting about with it, and after a while, I picked it up and started spinning it above my head helicopter-style. "Hey guys!" one of my friends called. "We've gotta get going now!" So naturally, I threw the pole away - only I forgot to stop it spinning first *clunk*Hospital trip with concussion. Also, my cousin currently has a cut across the bridge of his nose, which is reminiscent of a wound sustained in a fight. It was not achieved in anything near so manly a scenario though - he was a little drunk the other night, and decided to smash some ice cubes against his forehead (a la crushing cans in the same way). The first two were destroyed successfully, but - to use his words - he 'missed a little' when attempting number three

Ah Neko come and meet the clumsy queen! I am the least elegant woman you will ever met purely because I harm myself all the time unintentionally. On my first day of Uni I was leaving the building after the first lecture. I was saying goodbye to the new friends I'd made and in front of the class I turned around and walked right into a lampost. Got on the train to come home and my dad had to take me to hospital for vomiting on the station. Another train incident. I fell off the 4am train from Leeds to Huddesfield, smack onto the platform and nearly broke my knee. One night I turned over so violently in my sleep that I headbutted the wall and gave myself concusion. That's just for starters

I stabbed my self in the leg with a steak knife while pratting around in a restaurant.
I walked into a lamp post while staring at some bird cleavage.
I leant on the banister at work to talk to someone higher up the stairs and it broke and i fell 4 feet on to the landing.
I didn't mind the gap a Bristol Temple meads train station.

when i was 11 i was late for school and was running around the house getting ready, the socks i was wearing kept coming off cos the were too big for me but i was in too much of a rush to change them. i ran into the bathroom, trod on my sock that was flapping about, tripped over and went face first into the corner of the wash basin and broke my nose
in upper 6, was arsing about with a pencil sharpener blade that i had found at my table, was busy cutting bits of rubber up, my teacher saw me doing it and said to me....."i know where this is going" 2 minutes later i was rushing out of the lab with a 5mm deep 2cm long gash in my thumb and blood gushing out from it....all i could hear was my teacher and friends laughing as i ran out of the door
also while playing football i broke my foot going for a header lol

I've tripped over a hole running for a school bus, which nobody's ever found again. Plus it was in front of the whole bus. What a day that was!
I've sprained my ankle roller skating, before the incident I'd roller skated backwards into the toilet...
I hurt my wrist after my saxophone case lid fell on it.
I reckon I did my wrist in earlier this year by typing so much...
And finally, I got hit on the head with a cricket ball last year, trying to catch it. I suffered from concussion for two days.
And that's just in the past 4 years! Wahey!
And I've never broken a bone...
Oh! I once got a log smack me on my head when I was little, playing 'horsies' in the garden, I still feel the bump between my eyes now!

Especially as I had to be honest about my predicament!

I did once, but to be fair I had diarrhoea so bad you could pass it through the eye of a needle Also managed to stop in time to prevent any serious accidents! Sucked to be you just then though!

I sprained my ankle, so I limped onto the bus (despite the bus stop being outside my house ), limped up to medical, got sent home and went to the West Suffolk! And all this happened a week before my birthday! (I was off school for three weeks it was that bad!)
