Guys, have you ever accidentally hurt a girl friend or girlfriend by being careless?

[Anonymous]

I had a concussion last night (no blackouts but visual aberrations and a nasty migraine that lasted hours) because my guy friend picked me up in the parking lot (without my consent) and started running, then tripped, hitting the back of my head against the asphalt. It scared the crap out of me and I spent hours in the ER and got a CAT scan just to make sure my brain was alright. Mind you I get headaches and migraines almost every day anyway, so getting a trauma-induced migraine that left me nauseous, crying, and seeing stars was really traumatizing.

My head is still sore and I'm super pissed at my guy friend for being so careless, even though it was an accident. I hate the general notion guys I know seem to have that, just because I am small, they can pick me up without permission and be rough with me like I'm another dude, when they know I'm fragile and accident-prone.

Guys, have you done something like this with a female friend/girlfriend? How old were you when you stopped doing this stupid dangerous crap?

That's really bad. I guess friends do these kinds of things sometimes, but from now on, try to be more assertive in never allowing anyone to take advantage of your size. Who knows? This may happen again. So just be firm if anyone wants to do this to you.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. It sounds really bad:(

Once, when I was a kid, a friend of mine, one of the big kids in my old school, perhaps who was around 8 years older than me, spun me around in circles. I felt that he was going a little too far, and before I knew it, he accidentally released me, letting me fall on my behind. It hurt really bad. I didn't say anything though, and I didn't get angry, since I knew he was this kind of person.

[Asker]

Aww. Thanks, he and I are talking again now. He knows not to do it again

[Confucius16]

I feel empathy for you. At least you've both moved on. I wouldn't be able to go through what you did. You're really brave to go through all that.:)

[Asker]

Thanks <3 You're so sweet.

[Confucius16]

Aww, thanks:)

[Janson]

I have not as of yet. Hope you feel better soon

[Asker]

Thanks. First "get well" sentiment from GAG. :) I'm never letting a guy pick me up again, though this time he did it without my consent...

[Janson]

I'm sure everyone who answered wants you to get well as much as I do..they just forgot to say it..haha.

[Asker]

Wow. That's a really positive outlook. I didn't even consider it. I actually blocked anonymous answers because I expected a few people to tell me I deserved it or something. XD

[Janson]

I'm the eternal optimist! But you were right to block anons. Those kind of people always go after those who are least deserving of such attacks...which would make you a prime target

[Asker]

Thanks <3

[Asker]

Oh look, our dear friend Martyfellow delights in my hellish pain. link

[Janson]

honestly, I think he has a problem with women in general now

link

a shame really.

[Asker]

THANK YOU. He always bashes American women, flirts with women other than his wife (proudly), and dissed my ethnicity. He has serious issues...

[Janson]

wait, I thought you were white all this time lol. Are you Asian then? But yeah I do hear the pain of many women on here, and I wish you well. If you ever have issue with something on here, you're always welcome to send me a private message. Always

[Asker]

He made a comment about Anglo-Saxons being cold or something. I can send you the link later.

And thanks :D

[Janson]

and thank you!

[Confucius16]

Not sure about Anglo-Saxons, but Americans are very polite. Sure, there are many rude Americans, but there are also many really gentlemanly/ladylike people.

[lauramor]

yes, we were 10 and I had two braids. my sister stared pulling them and calling me horse. I yanked my head forward the same moment she let go of them so I got big scratches in my face from falling down ahha

[Asker]

Owww. ><

[croxy]

No, I don't think it's normal to randomly pick people up for no reason. Anyways, try not to be pissed on him if it was an accident, just make sure he doesn't do it again, as for obvious reasons its not very pleasent

[Asker]

GOOD. I'm not going to punish him in any way because it was an accident, but picking me up and running in the rain without my permission and hitting my head = me not wanting to see or talk to him for a while, or stay on asphalt for long periods of time.

[Robotic]

Hmmm well the only thing I've done that I remember is getting a girl wet... I was maybe 11 or 12 I can't really remember.

[Robotic]

and know I don't mean sexually lol

[Asker]

I only wish that was all that happened to me. :(

[dudeman]

my friend punched me and broke his hand, does that count?

[Asker]

No, because it was his fault he punched you in the first place.

[dudeman]

i punched him first to get him to not fight another guy. we were both drunk

[Asker]

Ouch. Still, it's all unnecessary.

[evenlift]

No I haven't done anything like that.

[Asker]

Good.

[evenlift]

A female friend picked me up against my will once though. And then we both fell over. No injuries though.

[Asker]

That's messed up. Glad you weren't hurt though.

[Panzer103]

I accidentally elbowed a female friend, but thankfully she is tough and sent a blow right back.

[Belgie]

Definitely. When I realize it, I apologize though.

[Asker]

Yeah. My guy friend feels really guilty. I'm not going to tell my friends who it was because he didn't mean to. I guess this question is meant as a PSA to not handle another person's body sans permission.

[dommage]

no, I am not that type of person
