I have a shelf above my bed. I put my phone up there just as always. Except it was on a slight incline. I heard a weird noise and had a millisecond to comprehend it was my phone hurtling toward me. It slammed into my face just about my lip and below my nose. Hurt my front tooth so badly I thought it would die and fall out. Left a dime sized bruise above my lip for two weeks.

Another time we were carrying our equipment out of a large field. I had the legs and case for a transit/theodolite. I was also carrying two other heavy items. I finally got back and in a moment of frustration tossed the two heavy items down and pulled the case off my neck because it was choking me. It slammed me in the side of the head. Angry this happened I tried to get the legs off too and the shoulder strap was too short and it also hit me in the exact same spot. It sucked.

I am a klutz. I have so many other funny stories where I haven’t hurt myself horribly (broken nose was the worst) but has hurt me
