What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury?

I once cut the inside of my thigh as a kid by bicycle jousting with my friends at night-time along the streets and sidewalks. Slammed into one of my friends' tires head-on, and got thrown forward into the crossbar. I was lucky I was slightly off-center, but I came away with a nasty bruise, a laceration, and a rip in my shorts.

I used to work nights. When I had the next day off, I would usually stay up all day and go to sleep that evening. So, wake up around 2-4pm Friday, go to at 10pm to 6am Saturday and not sleep until Saturday evening.
This eventually caught up with me. I was riding a bicycle down a hill, just coasting and fell a sleep for a second. Down I went. Need stitches in my head ( I still have a bump), tons of road rash, and banged up my knee.
I recovered fully except for the bump on my head.

I've broken my pinky toe twice by stubbing it on furniture corners.

Stubbed my toe on a cat condo base while running the kitchen. Didn't think much of it. Next day it hurts like crazy. Fractured it, dislocated it, and tore the ligament.

In high school I was run over by a car that I was sitting in. Buddy stopped in a parking lot, I started to get out, then he went forward and my foot was caught under the rear tire. I was pulled out of the car and my leg was run over.
Minor tear in a ligament and have a nice scar, but that's about it.

I had two cartoon-style injuries: stepped on a rake and fallen down the stairs, hitting my butt on every step.

Many, many moons ago. I rode my Big Wheel standing up, no hands, down hill.
Ended up crashing into a fire hydrant. Ouch. At least a broken right arm from what I remember.

Hmm, I could be wrong, but, I think you were trying to respond to the other comment about hurting their toe.

Wanted to see what happened if I stuck my finger into a pencil sharpener. Didn't really think that one through

Bad cut on my finger from a bread knife trying to cut a particularly crusty loaf of bread I baked. Only time in my life I've needed to go to the emergency room (for myself).

Earlier today I decided to trim my own hair. I was holding a section of hair with my free hand and snipped right into the side of my thumb. On the bright side, my hair came out nice anyway.

Fell off a tram on my 16th birthday and sprained my ankle. I didn't realize, so I went into the local river "for fun" and I conveniently forgot to take my clothes off.
So I come home, and the next day everyone thinks I tried to kill myself.
I don't think they believe the real story, even now. -

When I was around 12 I sat crouched on the floor and was hyper focused on drawing. I must've sat there for hours with little to no movement and when I got up I couldn't lift my right foot. I severely damaged a nerve and had to go through weeks of physiotherapy.
