Not relating to crochet at all (well it can if it is but...)

What is the stupidest thing you’ve ever done?
It doesn’t have to be crochet but it can if that is the truth.

I’ll go first:

Yknow how in cartoons when they stand on the bottom of the rake and the pole comes up and smacks them in the face? I did that. With a plank of wood. It really hurt but I didn’t break my nose (don’t ask me how I have absolutely no idea myself)

My thoughts process was this:

  • I wanna impress my crush
  • I know, I’ll do a trick
    Finds plank of wood
  • IM GONNA FLIP IT OVER MY HEAD, THAT WILL IMPRESS HER!! (I mean it made her laugh?)
  • AURGH​:sob::skull:
    (I was with that girl for 4-5 months after that. We had to break up when we left year 6 (6th grade) because she moved away and didn’t have a phone so I couldn’t contact her anymore.)
  • curl up in a bloody ball on the floor
  • end up being dragged off by her taking me to a teacher
  • go to hospital
  • wait 7 hours to be seen
  • “it’s nothing :woman_facepalming:t2:”

I stabbed myself. Multiple times. On accident. With multiple different types of needles. (long story) When I went to get help, I fell down the stairs. ALL of them. And there’s a lil intersection between half, so I bounced off the wall to fall down the other half. :]

at my old school, i was horsing around with my friend group… i was eating a few bananas at lunch
I was genuinely curious and wondered if bananas are as slippery as they are in the cartoons…
so I laid it on the ground and walked up to it,

I had bruises for days!!

I was going next door to order my boss’s lunch and surprisingly it was a bright sunshiny day! October 12th, 2 days before my son and I were to fly out to Missouri to celebrate my great grandma’s 100th birthday! Well, the cafe had their door open, and though there’s a LEASH law in the county, there was a black dog laying on the black mat just inside the door. Of course I was blinded, stepped on the dog, shattered my ankle and the EMTs took me to the small hospital there in Snoqualmie instead of into Bellevue where I would have had surgery immediately! I had to wait 2 DAYS!! With it broken in 11 places! Flopping around in basically an ace bandage! Needless to say, I didn’t fly out, but my son did and was met by my dad and older brother. Ugh! I think the worst part is that my boss refused to say I was doing anything for work, that I was on lunch break so it wasn’t L&I.

That’s horrible. The obnoxiousocity of the boss. He asked you to do something and then refused to say? Its such a small lie but it would’ve made a huge difference

Indeed! I had to go back to work so much sooner than I should have because I had bills to pay and no way to pay them. My ankle actually broke in 11 places not including all the chips and splinters that were too small too wire into place so they are still floating around in the muscle and tissue in there, causing that weather sense old people talk about in their knee or whatever.

Is the weather sense useful?
How does it even work?

It’s weird really, when the warm weather starts to turn, my ankle starts to ache. Which is another one of those odd mysteries of the human body. I have neuropathy from the knees down now, so I can’t feel anything anymore. BUT, my ankle hurts, my toes feel like lava if they’re covered. It’s called central pain, and very common yet hard to explain. The majority of the chips and pieces left loose are on the outside of the ankle, so I can’t rest it on my other knee to apply lotions and things like that. Crazy adjustments you just have to get used to. Like they put me immediately into a power wheelchair expecting me not to walk again. However, I walked around the house just by holding onto the walls and furniture. So I quit using the chair and started using a walker out and about. But after about a year of that I switched to a cane. I use that all the time, unless I’m having a hard day and then I’m back to the wheelchair now. Passing out randomly is not fun.

I was at a little playground thing and there was a little lake and some stuff that looked like sand near it. I generally like lakes, so I decided to jump into the sandy stuff near it. I sank in almost to my knees, and then had to just pull my feet out of my boots to get out. We couldn’t get the boots out of the mud, so we just left them there. My mom had to go buy me a pair of slippers, and then we continued the day normally​:rofl::rofl::rofl:
