I was surfing at a place called The Jetty in Seal Beach, Ca. It's a channel where warm water flows out of the electric power plant into the ocean.

Waves break near the entrance, continue breaking for a bit, and then peter out into rolling waves.

I caught a wave and rode it all the way in. Before it petered out, I moved to the nose of my board to drop back in one more time. But the wave just passed by me and I was left standing on the nose of a stationary board.

I just stood there and sank on the end of my board. For some reason, I thought it would be like a cartoon or something where someone stands at attention as their boat goes down with blub blub blub sounds and bubbles..

What I hadn't thought of was my board going half way under and then shooting up into the air. Without me realizing it, the board shot up, flipped in the breeze, and just about the time my head popped up, the rail of the board came down on my noggin.

It hurt and I'm lucky that I didn't get knocked out.

So I started paddling back out and another surfer told me that I was bleeding. I got off the board, dunked under water, and came up surrounded by blood. So I paddled in and drove home. Then I went to the doctor and had to get a few stitches.

Maybe my dumb ass cartoon antic was more dumb ass than funny. LOL

woke up all wonky... and went face first onto the wall, wrong side of the bed

and that time, when I was supposed to close the freezer door, but my arm hand did something weird, so I walked on the fridge nose first... lol

when I thought that it would be a good idea to drive an extra long SUV over a ramp, because it was going to be fun (it wasn't that fun on my back)

that time I touched a little live wire, it was so little... how bad it could be, lmao

and when I was a kid and playing with fireworks... the ones that are supposed to be lights and sparkles, so I just held it too tight in my hand, basically turned it into a fire crackers... my fingers looked cool after it, though

one time playing with my brother as kid, and had me wrapped in a blanket so I started to jump on the bed like a jumping burrito, lost my balance of course so I landed on the window, which shattered quite dangerously, somehow missed all the big pointy blades of glass

not sure which one is the dumbest... and I am sure there's more I don't recall right now

hiding in a dryer even though i could fit, it hurt a bit to get in, getting out hurt worse. Hiding in a refrigerator -- i couldn't push the door open. also sitting on handle bars while someone pedaling the bicycle.. going down a hill got very injured. There may be a few more, just can't think of anymore dumb ways. Plenty silly ways.

When I was 4 I went to turn off the lights for bed time and fell and slit the outer eyelid, I had surgery to get it fixed because I was told I might look ugly and visibly deformed if it was not addressed right away. Today there is basically no scar on my eyelid.

I rocked a a chair that isn't meant for rocking and fell backwards hitting my head really hard.  Don't laugh at me lol

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’ve hit my head on my own car while climbing into it. A car i’ve owned for years, by the way.
I’ve also hit myself in the face with my own hand and wrist when my hand slipped off from something i was prying on.
I peed on my own face once. Only my ego was injured, but it’s probably the funniest of the lot! Ell oh ell!

Never really injured myself, but I did injure my friend by dropping a can of paint on his shoulder from about 5 meters.

He was a bit high, and I was helping him paint his garage. I was up the ladder paining and he was mumbling something about paint levels. I put the lid back on the can and threw it in his direction.

I was drilling out the top of a CO2 cartridge prior to filling it with smokeless pistol powder qhen I was a kid, and I shot a drill shaving into my eye.

Shoulda used a punch and let the gas out of the cartridge instead of just tossing it in the vice and sending it.

I dove off a bridge to impress a girl. As I was on the way down I saw that the tide had gone out. I put my arms out in front of me to absorb the shock. I almost broke my neck.

I guess by falling off the monkey bars once when I was playing on them. I wasn't very careful. This was when I was a little girl. That's the only thing I can think of. I don't injure myself that much.

Whittling something with a pocket knife towards me instead if away. Yeah, that was kind of dumb.

Wiped off my knife using my thigh. Didn't have quite the right angle. Bled a lot. Go ahead, laugh it up.
