When you stub your toe...?

Question

do you shake it off and go back to what you were doing?

or drop to the ground screaming and writhing in pain ?

Answer 1

I don't drop to the ground but I let out a string of pretty expletives that usually sound something like...
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!
WHAT THE CRAP!!!?
THAT ______[insert inanimate object here] MADE ME STUB MY TOE!!!

Answer 2

Yes, as a matter of fact I have. Which is how I finally figured out there was no such thing as being too self centered, because if you were too far to the right or left, you might stub your's or someone else's toe again!

Answer 3

I only drop to the ground screaming and writhing in pain if somebody is around to feel sorry for me.

Answer 4

I tend to drop to the ground screaming and writhing in pain.

Answer 5

Fron experience, I know yelling, cursing, and generally ranting have never worked in the past. It still hurts and the only thing you can do is rub it and nurse it along till the pain subsides so you can resume your normal activities.

Any of those extreme reactions might elicit some sympathy for your pain, but it doesn't really help, so save your energy.

Answer 6

I shake if off, I don't have time to drop to the ground, I've got a little wild woman running around my house and I've got to be on top of my game or she'll take over !!!

Answer 7

I usually say a few choice words and try to walk it off. I did literally drop myself to the floor once when my knee met the corner of a coffee table though. Whole chunk of skin gone.

Answer 8

I whimper, fall to the ground, wait until someone sees me and asks what's wrong, then I launch into a dramatic monologue about the evils of the wall etc that hurt my poor innocent toe. I include a lot of dramatic gesturing.

Answer 9

Maybe shake it off, usually I just say a few expletives and move on.

Answer 10

Well, I cuss like a sailor and then sit down and cuss some more, then stand back up, shake my foot and cuss some more. AND THEN I go back to what I was doing!
