Dumbest thing you've ever done to yourself?
shardian:
I had the brilliant idea to wave a bag of cat poop in front of my wife's (then fiance) face once. She was sitting, I was standing. She punched me right in the nuts, but she swears to this day she was just trying to shoo away the bag. Trust me, the whole event played out in super slow mo for me and I know where she was looking and where she was aiming. ;D
I guess that qualifies as stupid actions causing bodily harm, right?

Dumbest thing that caused major physical distress:
I was making some thai dish (Phad Thai I think) and I had a ziplock bag full of ground dried thai chiles - think fine powder. I accidentally dragged the bag across one of the stove burners set to HIGH and about 2 tbsp of the chile powder turned into pepper gas - my head was directly over it. I nearly passed out from coughing and my eyes were red for a week.
Most unfortunate physical harm:
Loaded a 4x8 sheet of plywood on my SUV and was tying it down with some bungee cords. These cords had plastic adjustable hooks, not the metal ones. As I was tensioning down the final cord, one of the hooks snapped and the cord shot straight back and hit me directly in the eye. No major damage, but I did cause some injury and bleeding inside the eye. Took a few days for the swelling and pain to go away.

Man, as the day is going by the pain in my nose and, more noticeably now, in my teeth is getting pretty bad. I have to blow my nose but it hurts to put that much pressure on it. Arrggghhh! Ah well. I'll take some ibuprofen when I get home and just get some rest. Hopefully the discomfort will go away soon.

Jdurg, I feel your pain. Almost literally. I got smacked in the nose last night during karate class. No blood, swelling or bruising, but it still hurts pretty bad. The inside of my upper lip is pretty sore as well. I saw the same flash of light.
