What is the most painfull but minor thing you can do to yourself?

Question

I just bit my cheek whilst chewing a roll. Yow! How can that hurt so much. What minor injury has caused you the most pain?

Answer 1

The most painful household accident is standing on an upturned plug whilst wearing only socks or being barefoot.

Answer 2

I've bitten my cheek while chewing and it does hurt for a few minutes, but it soon passes.

I shut the tip of my finger in a door jam. It was sooo painful. The worst pain ever!!

The skin wasn't broken, but my finger went a funny colour. The X-ray showed that the very tip of the bone had been snapped of, and this is where all the nerve endings are which enable you to be able to feel, touch etc., and that is why it was so incredibly painful. It took 6 weeks to heal, and I still get twinges.

It was years ago, but nothing else has ever come close!

Answer 3

Well, I gave myself a papercut on my top lip today, it hurt and there's nothing to show for it!

My party trick is to try and get in/through a door whilst opening it, usually before I've opened it enough - then I either catch my (usually bare) toes under the door, or hit them, or (recently) cut my eyebrow open on a car door - that made me feel very woozy for a mo.

Another one I do regularly at the moment is to bite my tongue - not the tip, but right at the back where it joins near the back of the mouth - it hurts my whole throat for days and I think I must catch a nerve as well as the pain shoots up and down my throat to my nose!

Poking yourself in the eye is another good one!

Answer 4

I've bitten the inside of my cheek when eating too - ouch, soon goes off tho.

Another 'painful' thing I've done is shut my thumb in the hinge side of the 'old' train doors (still to be found on preserved railways) - no room for anything there, let alone a thumb! - quite ok though! As well as that, and this did hurt, I shut the door of my aunt's car on my thumb (same one that got in the train door - hinge side) bang on the lock of the door, rather a 'bloody mess'. I only broke the nail below the quick - nothing else!

Answer 5

The toothbrush accidentally slipping whilst you're cleaning your teeth, especially if you have a mouth ulcer - that happened to me once, I didn't have an ulcer but completely severed that bit of skin between your gum and top lip inside your mouth - ouch!
The worst pain though was when working in an office - I picked a piece pf paper up off the printer and the corner of the paper went right into my eye! It felt like a white hot needle and I seriously thought it had made me blind, it took about an hour for the eye to stop watering and my vision to return to normal. Paper cut on the eyeball seriously hurts!!

Answer 6

Your facial muscles - the ones that help you chew - are the strongest muscles you have which is why what you did bloody hurts, as does biting your tongue.

Stubbing and breaking a toe is so easy to do yet hurts like mad. I did it a few weeks ago and I was limping for days. I can still feel a twinge now.

However, I'm told the most painful thing ever is a paper cut to the bell end. I've never had one personally, thank god, but the very thought of it makes my eyes water.

The worst pain I've endured is the good old fashioned kick in the bollocks. Just as men will never be able to comprehend the pain of childbirth, women will never know what a glancing blow to the nads is like. As Eddie Murphy said, you don't have to kick nuts, you only have to graze them. It is totally indescribable, like nothing else I've ever felt.

Answer 7

Yep, biting your cheek is quite nasty - you'll end up with an ulcer there now too!
Also bad are:

Biting your tongue whilst munching something (usually something really tasty that you're having a good chomp on).
or
Accidentally bending a fingernail back the wrong way afetr catching it on something (makes me squirm thinking about it).
or
Eating a hot pizza and burning the roof of your mouth.

Answer 8

I've rubbed my eye after chopping fresh chilli peppers that REALLY hurt, couldn't see for an hour, but a friend of mine told me her hubby had also been preparing chillis, when they went to bed he got a bit frisky and touched her in a sensitive place. She was in agony for 2 days!!
Moral - wear gloves when handling chillis!!

Also I've burnt my finger on a light bulb when I was decorating, it felt like I'd put my finger in the fire and left me a huge blister, however not as big as when I burnt my leg on a hot water bottle when I was younger (don't ask). Still have a scar from that one 15 years later.

Honestly I'm not accident prone but.....

Answer 9

My mother might say that is is when you step from a wet cement back patio onto a tile kitchen floor, your feet slip and send your naked body flying towards the open dishwasher. You fall into the dishwasher and impale your RUMP on a large steel meat carving fork.

Myself, I suggest you never bite real cello tape to rip it if you do not fancy ripping the skin off your lips. And I suggest you don't try stapling something like say.. your thumb.

To name a few.

Answer 10

I couldn't understand why the light in the loft didn't work, so I unplugged the extension chord from the socket and touched the plug, it gave me a jolt enough to make me feel sick, but not enough to kill me (or I wouldn't be answering this, my ghost would) the power jolt was because it was connected to a strip light, which had a starter in it. The shock must have been the starter.
