Let's use this thread to talk about the times that made us go "ouch."
It can be minor, like a paper-cut, or it can be as severe as a broken bone or the pain of a C-section.

Allow me to get this thread started...

I am an active person, I love to feel my heart pounding and my muscles burning. So, naturally, one of my favorite pastimes is to take my bike out for a spin. Yesterday afternoon, I went out for my regular recreational ride and had a little mishap.

The area I live in is rather hilly, so I have a lot of steep inclines to conquer. Now, as I was going down one of those hills I noticed one of those little yappy dogs right in my path. I swerved and, fortunately, I missed the dog. Unfortunately, I did not miss a pothole.

I was pretty much catapulted over the handlebars and if I had done it on purpose, it would have looked so cool. So, after my launch from my bike, I roll down the hill and get a few shards of glass in my arm from a broken beer bottle on my way down. After I finally came to a stop, my bike comes down after me and lands on my left leg.

Now, what did stupid do? Stupid continued her ride instead of getting home and putting some ice on the leg, which ultimately made it worse.

The bike made it out okay, save for a few scratches and dents, and I got off pretty okay as well. The worst I got was a few cuts on the arm, a scrape here or there, and a temporary pimp walk.


Now, give me your stories.
