People Share The Dumbest Way They've Ever Seriously Injured Themselves

Sometimes being alive means being awkward in every way.

You'd think the awkwardness wouldn't follow you around in every aspect of your life, but you'd be wrong. Even getting injured isn't free from your personal brand of awkward.


u/SexyOP asked:

[Serious] What's the dumbest way you've heard of someone causing their own injury or death?

Here were some of those answers.


Peed To The Death

Back in my army days, we had a guy fall out of his 2nd story barracks window while pissing out of his window. To deter him from falling out of the window while pissing again, the leadership moved him up a floor. Well, he fell out again... and died.

I once tested out a jammed nail gun on the palm of my hand. It was no longer jammed.

Double Jeopardy

Heard of a guy who worked at a cannery and stuck his finger in a hole in one of the machines and cut his finger off. They reattached it and had to do a investigation, they asked him to show them what happened and he put his finger back on the hole and cut it off again.

On The Way Down

All those people in National Parks trying to take selfies next to the edge of a massive cliff that fall off. Some stupid selfie isn't worth losing your life.

Pruning Pruned Prunes

Coworker was at home in her yard and had a pair of pruning shears in her hand. She saw a spider, which she is deathly afraid of, and whacked it as hard as possible with said pruning shears.

The spider was on her ankle when she did it. Now she has a cracked ankle and the spider got away, too.

Back in her elementary school days my mom and her peers would play a game called chubby bunny. Basically you stuff as many marshmallows as you can into your mouth and say chubby bunny. One of her classmates did it one day at recess and suffocated and died in front of everyone. Been scared of marshmallows ever since.

Chugga Chugga NOPE

Manchester Piccadilly.

Someone thought it would be fun to impress a girl by riding on the top of a train, they didn't know that the wires above the trains are electrical wires, and grabbed one for balance.

The bolt went through his hand, and shot out of his thigh causing severe burns.

Yes, he died.

Miner 99er

Kid in my year at school once gave himself 6 or 7 "99ers" on the back of his hand at the one time.

A 99 er is pretty much taking a rubber/ pencil eraser and rubbing it on a piece of your skin 99 times. This boy did it around 7 times on the back of his hand

Pretty much his hand was covered in blood, this was during lunch break and he must have got dirt or something in it while playing and the wound got infected.

Vroom Vroom.....Vroom....

Basically any of the Darwin Award submissions and winners.

My favourite has to be of Krystof Azninski, a polish farmer in 1995. He and his friends got drunk and decided to essentially have a "macho contest". This included such fun activities as hitting each other on the head with frozen turnips. However, Krystof was set a mighty challenge when one man cut off his own foot with a chainsaw. To one up his friend, Krystof cut off his own head with the chainsaw.

Karoline Leavitt Slammed After Suggesting Reports Of Deadly Strike On Iranian Girls' School Are Just 'Propaganda'

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was criticized after she rejected reports that the U.S. struck a girls' elementary school in Iran, killing 175 people, insisting in remarks to the press pool that it's just Iranian "propaganda" that they've "fallen" for.

Iranian state media and health officials said the strike occurred early Saturday morning in Minab, in the country’s southern Hormozgan Province. Journalists from international news organizations have not been granted access to independently verify the reported death toll or the circumstances surrounding the strike.

Model Accuses Fashion Brand Of Using AI To Recreate Her Looks For Ad Instead Of Hiring Her

There used to be laws in place for someone's likeness being used without their consent, and most certainly if their likeness was being used in an exploitative way for profit.

But now with the rise of AI-generated photographs, advertisements, and other digital products, the lines seem to have become muddied between the illegal stealing of someone's likeness and AI "inspiration."

TikToker Secretly Records Unhinged Spectrum Employee Screaming At Her For Trying To Cancel Her Service

Employees in commission-based positions are feeling increasingly pressured to acquire new clients, retain previous clients, and solve the issues their clients call in about with high satisfaction ratings.

Even though tensions are high, and the pressure they're feeling may be unrealistic for any one person to take, that doesn't give them the right to mistreat people who do not want to sign up or want to cancel.
