while i was in school in Sydney i was drinking alone in the living room of my flatmates place (he was away on vacation) i broke my martini glass and as i was standing up i lost my balance and cut my foot on the stem and proceeded to bleed all over the white throw rug he had. did not go to hospital
I picked up the bottom of a glass Coke bottle off the street and threw it. A bit of the bottle caught in the meat of my thumb, slicing it down to the bone.
What's the stupidest way you've hurt yourself?
Oh I'm so glad you asked! I knocked myself out with a frozen bag of omelettes.
