Alright so I broke my right wrist getting from the ramp to the floor of the roller rink when I was 27, partly due to the fact that I hadn’t roller skated since I was 12, when I broke my left wrist, but I truly thought “what are the chances that happens twice” 🫠 - ThreadSky

What's the goofiest way you've hurt yourself that was still more severe than Trump's GSW to the ear?

Broke my right wrist twice in six months when I was 14. First time walking on monkey bars and slipping through. Second time falling backwards off the edge of a trampoline.

Both times landing on my head. I guess reflexes will sacrifice your off arm to protect your neck.

Turns out if your center of gravity has changed dramatically in the last 15 years, balancing on eight wheels is challenging. (Yes I am blaming my big naturals for what could also be blamed on incompetence)

tried to sneak into a room even though i knew the doorstop was in on the other side and i have shape where i didn’t used to have shape and screamed “fuckin tits” and i’m a little furious i couldn’t have gone with something more like “damn these wretched big naturals!”

Listen the number of times a have said “fuckin tits” in dismay at these babies getting in the way despite the fact that I’ve had them for 25 years …. If you’ve got big naturals now who cares when they came in.

oh no no, it’s not a question of time—i’m still waiting on that. i’m shooting up & popping pills in the hope of this problem because “small naturals” just doesn’t have the same whimsy to it.

i am moments away from reliving the veronica mars episode where i mail order a dubious boob growing cream.

Big naturals is a state of mind, as Shakira once said, your breasts are small and humble so they don’t get confused with mountains.

If it makes you feel better, I threw myself down the stairs because I saw Tom (from Tom & Jerry) fall down the stairs and thought I would be alright since he was alright. Ended up with a concussion and an emergency trip to the hospital.

In my defence, I was four or five.

I once spent an afternoon trying to walk on air by not looking down, like Wile E Coyote, so I get it.

My brother got his bare feet torn up on asphalt after he grabbed the rear bumper of a departing car because he wanted to flap behind it.

We are the reason everything comes with safety warnings now

Broke my wrist (only the once) at about age 12, using my new roller skates and rolling down the new smooth poured neighbor's driveway, which was great, right up until I went over a jump rope my friend had left out on it. boy oh boy, you put your hand out to stop the fall and SNAP

Ouch!

Yeah I heard the crack at the roller rink over the loud disco music and I’m genuinely grateful it wasn’t quieter.

I was reffing an intramural basketball game in college. Guy went up awkwardly, came down even more so, and I swear you could hear the crack of his ankle on the other side of the gym. I’m good never hearing that again.

daemonaac.bsky.social•214 days ago

I was.....not quiet afterwards (lots of screaming until the ER demerol happened)
