Most obscure place you've cut yourself with a weird thing?

1. Do splinters count?

When I was in 9th grade my best friend and I went to the park and we went on the wooden swings.

When we got up we started burning and we were splintered in an area that hurt real bad. We had our School Girl dresses on and we ended up at the hospital.

Does that count?

2. I was in my underwear whilst closing a suitcase on a bed in a hotel room.

But, I got too close to the suitcase. I nearly cut off my manhood when I quickly shut the damn thing!

Ouch!

3. I've never cut myself

in an obscure place. All I've ever done was super-glue my lips to the inside part of a doorbell cover while it was still on the door.

4. my, that's a really interesting trick

I'm sure there's a good story behind it. :)

OK, you asked. I have a good one. I was at my kitchen sink and a noise startled me. I whirled around and the edge of a spider plant caught my eye and cut it.

It hurt so badly I had to stay home from work for a couple days.

But it was such an oddball incident that I used the excuse about four more times over the years with different employers to justify a day or two off.

17. Ok, here's the story

The cover for the inside part of the doorbell mechanism had fallen off and I couldn't get it to stay in place so I decided to super-glue it back. I lined the outside of the cover with the superglue and put it carefully back in place. Of course, since superglue dries so quickly, I didn't have a place to put the tube of glue down so I was holding it in one hand and holding the cover tight to the door in the other hand.

Then the top to the superglue slipped. It landed in my bra. I couldn't just leave it there til the glue was set on the doorbell piece so I carefully placed my mouth on the doorbell cover to hold it in place.

Now, I don't know about y'all but I don't use superglue on a daily basis so I tend to either over or under apply it to whatever I'm trying to glue back together. In the case of the doorbell cover I over applied the glue.

Yes, there were a couple of super glue runners and I just happened to clamp down with my lips on top of them. Of course, they smeared abit from the lip pressure and poof! I was glued to the doorbell cover which by now was firmly glued to the door.

Being a short person I was standing on tiptoe with my mouth glued to cover. My sister and my (then) husband were sitting on the couch watching me fix the cover and once they realized I was stuck they laughed their asses off at me. Finally though they did help by getting some nail polish remover (the kind with acetone in it) and pouring it over my lips.

I lost a bit of lip skin and still haven't lived that one down!

6. Thumb with Metal-Bladed Fan

Nearly severed it. I did sever the 2 main thumb nerves, so it never really hurt but it sure did bleed a lot. Bonus: I grossed out the ER doc in a urban emergency room.

I cut my eye pretty badly as a baby on the crown of my father's watch. I've also cut my corneas reading a book.

Also cut my nipple shaving my legs, and it's not as interesting as it sounds (I'm very nearsighted, which accounts for a lot of my close encounters with odd injuries).

8. Got my big toe stuck in the bathtub faucet in the Conestoga Inn

in Anaheim and had to spend the next two days walking around Disneyland with a big huge bandage on my toe and sandals that were size 10 so the bandage would fit. Flap, flap, flap.

9. Paper cut in my eye

Don't ask how it happened ... just imagine how it felt!

[VOX]

10. Laid my finger open trying to change a smoke-alarm battery at 3:00 a.m.

in a neighboring vacant apartment. I'm 6' 5", so I was doing the tip-toe, 8-foot reach to get the damn thing open.

The power was off in the apt., so I had no lights. I'm not even sure what I got my finger caught on, but it cut a one-inch, bone-deep "smile" that needed seven stitches.

Why did I do it? The battery was running down, so the damned alarm was letting out those dying "power burps" every minute or so.

Technology.

21. Slit open the top of my scalp on a mailbox

I was about 8, and was walking with my mother behind a K-mart or Piggly Wiggly or something. I was walking pretty close to the wall, and walked under a big rural mailbox without seeing it. I didn't feel the corner cut my scalp (must have been razor-sharp), but a few seconds later, it started to sting and I felt something wet running down my forehead. Now, you'd have to know my mother to understand why I did what I did next. I pulled up the hood on my jacket and kept walking.

Mom looked over at me, and said, "Why is your hood up?" I mumbled something unintelligible. She said, "Is that blood on your face? What did you do?" I was expecting to get in trouble, which is kind of pathetic in retrospect. Instead, I got dragged back into the store, where the store nurse (I'm still amazed they had one) actually stitched my scalp up right in the manager's office, no anesthesia.

No lawsuits in those days. They did move the mailbox, though. I was just glad they didn't shave my head - they were talking about it at first.
