Since it's question time. The other day I had an impromptu sneeze and it was so violent I hurt my teeth when it was released. I'm still kinda feeling it today.

So what is the most ridiculous way you've hurt yourself?

Slipped on cat sick in the dark. Wrecked both ankles and a knee. Ended up sitting in it. Naked.

It was a NSFW situation involving chain and a hook and many stitchesπŸ«₯

Got a leg infection from tripping on my own skirt going up an escalator at Flinders St. Didn't realise how bad it was until a few days later I knelt on it and just wailed
