things that hurt more than they should

[Lordyosch]

I've just dropped a lightweight paperback onto my bare toe. It really flipping hurt! (it was Mears essential Bushcraft BTW)

It's just like those loose bits of skin next to fingernails, that hurts too much too.

What is the most painful trivial injury you've had?

You know those single spot lego pieces?Try one underfoot in the early hours of the morning on the way to the loo.

Well I was on my way to this party...medieval fancy dress, and I was just crossing this bridge when this idiot went and lopped my arm off. Twas but a scratch but it didn't half smart

Kneeling on Subuteo players

Paper cuts

Picking your nose after chopping fresh chillies

One inch splinter under a thumb nail

Headbutting the corner of a radiator after falling down the stairs unhurt.

Anything that goes under your finger nail, man that hurts.

In my welding days, in the cold weather, if your fingers slipped off the edge of a piece of cold steel, that was possibly the worst pain a human could experience, including childbirth which I believe is overdone.okenest:

I agree on subutteo but the radiator thing, that really should hurt lots!

How about stepping on a plug?

Lego in the dark

However, you know those wee computer chips ? The ones with two rows of wee sharp pins.........last look in on the boys just before I went to bed and I stepped on one, sitting pins up, with the very edge of my foot. All sixteen pins right into my foot Oh that was sore. Pulling it out was worse. Slippy with blood we needed to get pliers to pull it out. They never, ever, left half built computers on the floor again !

cheers,
Toddy

Coming in drunk falling asleep on you arm on the couch waking up some hours later and try to use your dead arm to support you up and drop on the floor in a wild panic as to where your arm went!

Two that spring to mind are stepping on a dressmakers pin,
which was stood dangerous end up on a deep pile carpet - it went into my heel right up to the head.
Next was getting a big splinter under my kneecap - I recall sitting on the draining board with the cold tap running over my knee to numb it before Dad set-to with a pair of pliers.

There are others worthy of mention but that will do for now.
