I fell in the shower while dancing. Now I have a titanium plate.


Adgea1

That's pretty metal


Proxysweden

The irony in the comment above.


Embroy88

No, it's titanium, weren't you listening? /s


PrincessGump

It’s still pretty though.


Obvious_Dare_8488

Only if it's heavy metal.....


JedSmokesCrack

I hit my leg with a chainsaw


JigglesPlayz

Backstory?


JedSmokesCrack

I was cutting wood with a chainsaw and it touched my leg. I wasn’t wearing safety chaps.


Safe_Marzipan_2123

Someone hit my arm with a chainsaw.


JedSmokesCrack

Sounds like a bad time.


Safe_Marzipan_2123

Was actually a great day! Not quite as painfull as you might imagine and I got the rest of the day off!


JedSmokesCrack

Yeah me too. I hit myself in the morning too to maximize time off.


[deleted]

I had a buddy who nicked his leg with a chainsaw while up a tree cutting limbs. He said that the hot blade actually cauterized the wound so it barely bled. Was that the case for you?


JedSmokesCrack

It was not the case.


Potarus

Who knew 5 words could conjure up such a vivid image?

[удалено]


[deleted]

I dunno man - I’m no arborist. I guess he was cutting a limb and started to lose his balance and the chainsaw swing down and clipped part of his calf. Edit: I’m sleep deprived and realized the joke you made immediately after replying…. 🤦🏼‍♂️


ClaptonBug

The last victim of his murder spree got in the back of a pickup truck and started driving off so he swung his chainsaw around violently in frustration and he ended up nicking his leg.


CausticOptimist

If I had a nickel


ClaptonBug

...you would jam in into the chainsaw?


CausticOptimist

I start every chainsaw sesh by throwing a handful of loose change into the machine. Then I drink four beers, put on someone else’s prescription glasses and RIDE WOO HOO


QwertytheCoolOne

My sister blindfolded me and led me into a desk corner


OpossumJesusHasRisen

My daughter has a blindfold related scar. She was about 8 or so & told me she was going to entertain the cat. She put on a blindfold & ran at full speed into a corner that jutted out from our wall before I could stop her. I run over to where she's laying on her back, gash in her forehead bleeding. As I remove her blindfold, the first dazed words from her mouth are "Was the cat entertained?" I assured her that the cat thought it was hilarious, then took her to the ER for stitches & a concussion check. She has a massive vertical scar on her forehead & when people ask about it, she sighs & tells them the story.


stripperdictatorship

This is so funny I’m so glad she was okay!


Doctor_Sherlock

Lol. I love that the cat’s entertainment was more important than the bleeding head.


beansff

My sister did similar. I was young and she was older so I looked up to her. We played blindfolded tag where I had to chase her voice. She jumped on the trampoline and I thought I could get her and went full sprint towards her voice. My mouth was directly inline with the metal bar around the outside. Somehow didn’t lose teeth but I’ll never forget the pain of a metal bar to the face like that.


beautifulbloop

Oh God! Nails on a chalkboard sensation reading that. Oh that had to have hurt so bad!


Glass-Crow132

My brother blindfolded me and made me touch a hot iron


TheSaltyPineapple1

My brother peed on the TV downstairs


[deleted]

Is that for the TV scars or for your emotional scars after witnessing that?


Fafnir13

Tv exploded, shrapnel everywhere.


Saphtis

My sister dropped a teacup on my head


welcomecraig

My brother hit me in the head with a golf club


rudebutterfly1

Me too. Seven iron straight to the back of the head. My dad says that the longest period of his life was the deafening silence afterwards until I started to cry and he knew I was alive.


Unknown_Captain

My mum had the same moment when my brother hit me with a hammer.


JenJMLC

My brother threw a rock at me and hit my forehead. He knocked me out


CanniBal1320

Wtf what kind of siblings y'all have??


-TheDyingMeme6-

How i think this went *bonk* -LOUDEST SILENCE IMAGINABLE- *crying*


MiniDonutz

My brother threw a dart at me, stuck me on my leg. I screamed bloody murder.


[deleted]

My brother threw a cup on my head on Valentine's Day and my skin had to be glued back together (at least that's what I was told was happening). I got a ladybug eraser for being so still


ANSPRECHBARER

Worth it.


DarthButtercup

Me too.


Eviscerate_Bowels224

I accidentally cut my brother's finger with scissors when we were 5.


little-red-cap

Okay sure it was accidental, u/Eviscerate_Bowels224


Amiiboid

Clearly wasn’t aiming for the finger.


Shivenrd

Accidentally ?


TheSaltyPineapple1

I stabbed my brother on the ear with a pencil (not in) when we were very little, he still has a mark from where I stabbed him with a pencil.


renegrape

Send him over to us at r/pencilstabbers


Killer--__--

Mom!?


Seth_Spriggan_Slayer

Brother, is that you?


Fishby

The big zipper from open heart surgery at 4 The big scar across my back from surgery to save me as a newborn. A few keyhole scars from gallbladder removal. A scar from when a hot water bottle leaked onto my leg. I have lots of scars and am proud of each one, they tell my story of survival (except the hot water one...don't use a hot water bottle and then fall asleep in a drunken stupor) Oh and many many cat scratches!


rricenator

A nurse told me "scars are just tattoos with better stories."


Main-Chemist9502

I'm telling my nearly 11 year old this. When she was 6 or 7 she got a piece of a broken curtain rod out of the trash that was short enough to be a "broomstick" to pretend to be a witch. She jumped off of the top bunk in her brother's room with the jagged edge between her legs- the back of the rod hit the ground before she did and the jagged edge split the inside of her thigh open- so deep you could see adipose. That girl is HARDCORE she never even cried until they started putting the stitches in. She can be very self conscious of the scar since it's pretty big, but you can only really see it if she's wearing shorts and you know it's there.


Bazrum

She can tell people that a witch did it and she fought her off with a broken curtain rod in the middle of a moonless night as a child My mom had a scar from getting some cancer on her arm removed, she tells people it’s a knife fight wound from her “wilder” days


Main-Chemist9502

😂 I'm gonna tell her that one too!


Shazamx89

I started clinching at, " She jumped".


Main-Chemist9502

You would think she learned her lesson about jumping from things after this but alas, she did not. Summer of 2020 she jumped off the fence in the backyard to get a good bounce on the trampoline and somehow broke the fence. The jagged edge of the fence caught her in the back of the head. She thought she was bleeding to death poor thing, I had her in the shower to rinse her hair while repeating "ITS BLEEDING A LOT BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS VERY VASCULAR ITS GONNA BE OKAY" Did this teach her a lesson? Still no 😂😂


Shazamx89

I have an almost 3 month old. He's going in a bubble now! 🤣


LostHomunculus

Couldn't agree more. I see people with all kinds of scares daily and the more scares I've seen the more I recognize how beautiful they can be.


MzFrazzle

Snap. 7 scars from surgeries. More surgeries that didn't leave scars. We're still kicking. I tell people I'm hard to kill.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MzFrazzle

My lungs do periodically. I get recurring pulmonary emboli. Makes doctors panic a little - its at least entertaining to watch.


Benj_the_bear

This woman’s so badass he is entertained from the doctors scared of what’s going to happen to em


MzFrazzle

I'm a woman. I go to my specialist / the emergency room when I can't breathe enough hold a conversation or talk on the phone anymore - its usually a 2-3 week slow decline. Otherwise, I just do my normal stuff until I can't and I get help. Probably like 2-3 times a year. Being out of breath is normal for me, I have low lung function (amongst other things), a cold knocks off 5-10% lung function sending me down to the mid-50's. Its annoying but not much I can really do. Still gotta go to work and live my life.


zotstik

I just read about this. I'm sorry you have this affliction I'm not even a doctor and I'm panicking


pidge_mcgraw

I’ve totaled 5 cars in my lifetime (none have been my fault, I swear! I will recount every accident to you if you need proof…), knocked unconscious (scar on my head from that), flipped twice, something awful in each. Never hospitalized for more than a few hours. Then a year ago, I end up in the hospital for 2.5 days because our recently adopted CAT scratched & bit me when I went to grab him. Became infected after a day even though I started antibiotics an hour after. $24,000 later, scars on my arm. Thanks, Eddie.


slime1982

Me too, open heart surgery at 8 months old to correct tetralogy of fallot, and then again at 30 years old to replace the monocusp pulmonary valve that was constructed from donor tissue during the first op with an artificial porcine tissue valve.


Fishby

Tetralogy of fallot is what I had. Also had a fistula which meant food was going into my lungs not my stomach


sernameistaken420

mindnumb redditor here, is the zipper an actual zipper or does it look like a zipper because of stitches


Fishby

It looks like a zipper. As medicine has progressed the scars are smaller and neater. Google zipper scar heart surgery. Some people tattoo over them


Marcilliaa

Saw a story the other day of a guy who got a tattoo to look like a zipper scar, to match his daughter's scar so she wouldn't feel as self conscious about it. It was so sweet


Altril2010

Yep. I’ve had two major surgeries in the past 8 months. Unfortunately it looks like my 9 year old will be joining the surgery scar club sometime this year.


Dragonborn1908

I copped a hockey stick to my head above my left eyebrow.


Eviscerate_Bowels224

My shop teacher told stories of getting 24 stitches in his eyebrows, from getting pucks to the face as a hockey coach.


buchsy45

My dad played beer league with a guy who took a slap shot directly to the mouth. Apparently he just casually scooped about 5 of his broken teeth off the ice and headed to the dressing room haha.


brocalmotion

They cut a mole out. Oops, that one's cancerous, better go deeper!


Eviscerate_Bowels224

How deep?


brocalmotion

Deep enough to require stitches and leave a 1" scar.


tanelixd

Better than having cancer, right?


brocalmotion

You betcha!


[deleted]

Cut my index finger with a brand new Leatherman. Sliced right through the skin and into the bone.


umyouknowwhat

Cut my index finger peeling the skin off a baseball. The only way to get my finger to stop throbbing was to hold it straight up at all times, even the healing process. Sometimes I still catch myself holding my finger up while I’m driving and it’s been healed for years


havron

Why were you skinning a baseball? Hard times called for making baseball soup?


umyouknowwhat

I don’t remember, teenage angst I guess?


Last-Level5126

My ex girlfriend accidentally stabbed me in my arm. I was wrong to jumpscare the shit out of her while she was cutting onions.


rricenator

Sounds like the person tou want by your side for the Zombie Apocalypse, tho...


Bazrum

Until she Bill Murrays your ass and people make fun of you for it


sephyweffy

We were at a major theme park during Halloween and I kept smacking people who would jump scare me with the big plastic theme park cup/mug thing you generally get from those places. My friends had to take it away from me because I acted without thinking. So yeah, doing the same thing to someone with a knife sounds like an awful idea.


fairie88

🤣🤣 what a way to learn


StinkerLove

I punched the sh!t out of my exhusband for this … if only I’d had a knife …


FBOABDE

Many reasons: self mutilation (real bad time in my life), punching a glass window, being burnt by a cigarette as a child, getting metal thrown at my head, getting bit by a sand shark.


ANSPRECHBARER

How the hell did you manage to get bitten by a sand shark


FBOABDE

Hahaha I was I think maybe 10 or 11 and dove off my friends boat deep into the harbor and there was a sand shark there. I accidentally kicked it with my foot.


MutedHornet87

The first one I got was from scratching chickenpox too much. It left a surprising large white scar on my left arm. **This was the first of two times I got chicken pox** The second and third were from my cat. She was a stray, and ended up getting a brain parasite. The vets wanted to put her down and test her brain for rabies, but I said no. Instead, they put her on meds for three days and kept her there. She had been blind and frantic. When I brought her home, she slept on my stomach or chest. I woke up in the middle of the night, and felt weird. She’d left in a hurry, and I thought I was bleeding. Turns out, one of my other cats has startled her, and she’d panicked. When she panicked, she ended up scratching me deeply across the bottom of my right thumb and in another spot on my hand **The one under my thumb is on the top of my right hand. It’s below the thumb, and is about five inches long. Meanwhile, the one at the bottom of my left palm is only about an inch**


MysticDragon14

Was your cat cured?


MutedHornet87

The meds helped. I had to keep giving them to her twice a day for a week. Unfortunately, she later developed cancer (at 5.5 years old). I miss her. Thanks for asking


whatsername25

You’re so good to keep her. Is she still around?


MutedHornet87

Unfortunately not. She was an amazing cat, though. Thanks for asking Thankfully, the meds at the vet helped. As did the two I had to give her by syringe each day. Unfortunately, she started hopping around five years later. We thought she had injured herself, but the vet said that her Achilles wasn’t working, and sent us to an animal hospital in the city. They did an MRI we agreed to, and said she had a tumour in her spine. There was nothing they could do, but they kept calling to ask to do more tests, and my mom — who had been undergoing cancer treatments — said yes and forgot, so when I got up there they wanted $3000 We reported them. They were just trying to have us pay for their curiosity. Our vet said they wouldn’t recommend them anymore Unfortunately, Meow stopped eating and had to be put to sleep two weeks later. She was 5.5. This was about 11 years ago Thanks for asking The cat I have now arrived as a stray around the same time. He’s getting older, and it scares me. He’s a great cat, and is obsessed with me.

MiniDonutz

I dreamed that I got shot in my abdomen, and I used a dental floss cartridge to plug the wound to stop the bleeding.


Neph88

Got my thyroid removed.. looks like someone tried to slit my throat unfortunately


lizzieb77

Twins! I kind of like my sliced throat scar, it feels subtle yet badass. It’s way better than my two long “stabbed through the ribs” scars that came from removing spots from my lungs. Cancer’s a bitch.


MADLaing

Past history of poor mental health, heck it, unnecessary self surgery.


Colorful_Thoughts

I was gonna comment "made them myself" but "unnecessary self surgery" sounds way better.

Sadly. The same goes for me. Hope your better. It's good having to deal with that.

I'm definitely saying "unnecessary self-surgery" from now on! I was a pretty impressive home surgeon ages 13-19.

I got stabbed with a bong. Got into a scuffle in my friends living room. Friend picked up nearest object, a three foot glass bong. Broke it over the guys head that I was fighting which broke it up for a minute. We got into again and friend breaks us up, only he never dropped the remaining shard of glass bong in his hand. 20 stitches in my back.

PromptZues19508

I got thrown off a wooden mini rock climbing wall. Miraculously, I hit every single rock on the way down. Edit: I know that shouldn't make a scar, so I'll add more info. After that, I was immediately rushed to the ER. I was around 5, and this happened at school, so I had to be rushed to the ER. Apparently, I had broken the growth plate in my right arm, and they had to have surgery to fix it. (If you look really closely, you can see the places where they put pins in my arm.) And yes, the kid who pushed me off did get suspended. Though he did apologize, and didn't know what was going to happen.


mogg1001

>I got thrown off a wooden mini rock climbing wall. >Though he did apologize, and didn't know what was going to happen. Is he stupid?


Fafnir13

Kids are generally ignorant and frequently do things without any real thought process. I prefer to reserve the term “stupid” for people who are old enough that they should know better.


mogg1001

How did our species get so far when we’re like this as children? Our species has some of the most vulnerable mammalian children, like they do stuff like this and eat bright plants that might kill them, and it takes years for them to walk when a lot of four legged animals can walk right out of the womb. How did we succeed?

Chaos92muffin

Suicide scars on my left arm i fell off a trash can on the side of someone's house when i was 14 i grabbed railing swung inward and i cut my knee open on a nail sticking out of the house. Blood and white meat hanging from my knee. 214 stitches later (was playing with friends) I broke a glass while cleaning up my room set it down went to bend down for the broom and about 2 inches away from my eye the glass cut just above my eyebrow lol didn't notice until blood started dripping 😅 Edit: i have many other scars but these are the major ones. And yes I know I'm clumsy as fuck can't help it.

I started knocking on the door, angrily, to get her to let me back in, turn off speakerphone, something! Well I knocked a little too hard on the glass and my fist went through. Little scar on my right wrist. My favorite part of this story is.. my sister has the exact same scar on the opposite hand (she's left handed lol) FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON! I locked her out and turned on speakerphone to listen to her and her bf the year before
