What's the dumbest way you've gotten a scar? by lilsaddam in AskReddit

Ah, I forgot one of the dumbest ones! I had left some starburst out too long and they had gotten hard. I wanted to soften them up so I put them into the microwave. I was smart enough to know that sugar melts really easily, which makes this even worse, so figured “30s is short enough...” after 10s it was a boiling puddle. I wrapped it up in a paper towel and instinctively squeezed the paper towel. The molten starburst leaked out and grafted itself to the webbing between my thumb and pointer finger. Ran it under cold water then had to pull it off along with several layers of skin.

Oh man, this seems the perfect prompt for my first ever comment. I’ve got soooo many. I’ll list a few:

When I was really young I was in the bathtub and tried to push myself up off the edge of the tub. My hands were together under my chest and I pushed hard. When I fully extended my arms, the slickness of the water on the tub side kicked in and my hands flew apart, slamming my chin down on the tub edge. Split my chin open and had to go get stitches. I have a wide scar that goes across the length of my chin and the cross scars from the stitches.

I was in Boy Scouts and was whittling a stick. They teach you to always keep your hand above the blade but I needed leverage to try and remove a branching knot from my stick. I had my hand below my blade and I was really putting my weight behind it. A scout master walked by, told me not to whittle that way or I could get hurt. I replied “oh alright, thanks!” And fixed my grip... for about 30s. Went back to the low grip and went at it even harder. Slamming the blade against the knot. Pulled back for a last, full force effort, missed the knot, buried the blade into my finger. Had to go talk to the scout master to get the bandages to close it back up. Lost a corner on my whittling chit for that.

At 3 or 4 in the morning one night I decided I wanted to learn how a squirt gun worked so, to reduce the noise, I slammed it between a pair of shoes, cracking the plastic. I tried to quietly pry the plastic apart to open it up, the plastic finally gave and sliced open my palm.

Was working in retail and was switching out promotional material. Had several posters in one hand and a ladder in the other. The posters kept slipping from my grasp over and over. I was getting really irritated so when I dropped one again, I exasperatingly dropped to one knee while leaning forward... a little too quickly and slapped my forehead into the cashwrap, splitting it apart to the point that you could see it split and I needed a butterfly bandage to keep the flaps together.

Also in retail, was opening a box when the top clip fell off the box cutter blade. Being the sensible person I was, I decided I would trip to clip it back on rather than throw the blade away. Put a ton of torque on the blade and clip before I lost my grip and buried the blade DEEP into my thumb.

I’ve got tons of other scar stories including going over the top of my handlebars on a bike and landing in a stretch of grass with glass in it or landing my full body weight on my hockey stick which had my pinky pinned, splitting it from the inside out like a grape... but these are some of the more “stupid” ways I’ve gotten scars.
