[lady-janine]

i've just sliced the end of my thumb with the mandoline and i'm dropping blood everywhere. so stupid.

anyone else done anything so stupid?

[EvianBaby]

Similarly my thumb met it's match with a potato peeler last week. I was trying to take off the safety sticker they put over the blades. LOL!

[commoner]

Not with a Mandolin...I only play piano....Hehheh!

Years ago I once decided to sniff a gas hob to see if the gas was coming out....whilst holding a lit match

'I've gone all wobbly' (:o((

[Old_Geezer]

Probably. I tend to block out the more awful memories as time goes by. and as I age there seems to be more & more of them.

Hope the computer keyboard is easy clean. The decription alone makes me wince.

Oh yes almost lost half my thumb to a corned beef tin once, 5 minutes before collecting 10 children for a birthday party.

Mrs O - hahaha - that reminds me a time when my friend's engine failed - so she opened the bonnet and looked in with a lighted match (with me still sitting in the passenger seat) gulp !!

On the plus side, it sorts out unwanted nasal hair but it took forever for my eyebrows and fringe to grow back

[cazzz1975]

yes I have stabbed myself in the hand with a large pair of scissors trying to open a big tube of adhesive. it was more shocking than painful.

My sister was cooking baked potatoes and put metal forks in them to speed up the cooking time. When she pulled the fork out of one, there were loads of bits of potato sticking to it, so she popped it into her mouth without thinking. How I laughed as she shoved her burnt mouth under the cold tap.... but not half so much as she laughed when I did exactly the same thing a few seconds later. I think that qualifies as pretty stupid.

[lady-janine]

it's okay og i've wrapped a (well it was before i used it) a clean tea towel round it. still quite profuse - have tried putting it under cold running water but just seems to flow more. just feel so stupid doing such an obviously silly action. i always tell everyone else to be so careful.

Another time I was kneeling on the floor fitting carpet tiles. I had a carpet tile on my lap and a sharp Stanley knife in my hand.
I still have the scar on my thigh.

Hole for picture hook needed near lightswitch ... checked with wire detector ... all clear ... electric drill ... oops ... bang ... eyebrows missing :+(

< moral #1 - check the battery in the stud/wire detector thingy >

< moral #2 - get a faster tripping RCD >

[TOWIE]

Mrs O - hahaha

[Frank97]

I tried to bang a knife back into the handle while holding the blade once and only once! Sliced all four fingers, what a doughnut!

[maggiebee]

When a smoker some years ago I was playing with the lighter before I lit my ciggy. Had turned it up to its highest and set fire to the front of my hair. What a stink!

[Smowball]

Hubbie decided to help garden incinerator a tad by putting petrol in it and then throwing a match in (idiot!!!). Lid flew 20 feet in air and landed next door, and son who was nearby lost all hair on his arms and eyebrows, and smelt like a packet of pork scratchings.

[lady-janine]

now i'm laughing and bleeding. there must be a word for it.
