2. How about mocked AND pitied?
You can mock and pity me too: I stubbed my toe getting out of the bathtub last night.

10. My dad caught his finger in a car door on the way to teach a safety class.
Had to go to hospital and arrived late for the safety seminar with his hand in a really impressive bandage. :rofl:

(It's one of his favorite stories now--and he's got a million of 'em. :D )

Aw, sweetie...

I'm sorry...

I voted for pity, but that's not exactly right...

Empathy is my strong suit...

I've been a little afraid of them for years and today my well-founded fears were realized. Now if I could only get over my fear of the vacuum cleaner. mr. swim will vouch that I never go near it! :hug:

20. Oh god that is funny
I was going to start a thread a few weeks ago about stupid and I mean STUPID ( :bounce: ) self inflicted injuries after I scratched my eyeball with a Hardee's biscuit wrapper.

:bounce:

Truth be told I had just finished a 9 mile run under the heavy influence of old beer in my belly and a benadryl (talk about FUN!)

Still I mean it's not like I sprain my thumb or anything.

Can you sue Doug over this?

30. I lied.
It wasn't even INSIDE the lavatory. It was outside a free standing bathroom building on a baseball field. I think that's even worse.

that sex was at least involved.

I was waiting for a train.

36. Yeah, and let me TELL you how great it was...
:eyes:

That, and my best friend who was actually INSIDE the lavatory nagged me the whole way back home with, "I can't BELIEVE you did that, Lara! That is DISGUSTING, Lara! I could HEAR you, Lara!"

:rofl:

For the record, she's still my friend. She survived worse in the years to come. Man, do I owe her for her patience and ability to block things out.
:rofl:

45. More importantly...can you sue the makers of the soap dispenser?
What about the company in the bathroom it was in?

Surely, somebody can be sued for your pain and suffering.
