It seemed a good idea...at the time

So, just got back from athletics training (yes we train 8:15-9:45!) and developing a banging headache, word of advice, even if it is just a 3k, never attempt a header with a medicine ball!

Anyone else done something really stupid recently? :lol:

Not personally, not recently. But had a colleague who loved heading. We would screw paper up, throw it at him shout "head it" and he would knock it in the bin. Until someone tried him with a heavy glass ashtray. Several hours to wake up properly.

At the back end of last year, I fell sideways off my chair in the office while trying to untangle my rucksack strap from the leg :oops: I thought it would be a good idea to lift the chair and sort of bounce it up and down to jiggle the strap free - while I was still sitting on it! Of course, it suddenly rolled and tipped sideways, and I went flying across the office. No injuries, thankfully!

Looking at the track while driving along and cracking my head of the cab secure radio, now that hurt.

I've had the trapped bag strap predicament.. I tend to manipulate the strap down onto the floor, into the path of the castor and roll it over, hence freeing said strap :) not as easy as it sounds!

Driving out of a station car park turning left unusually, which is a very acute angle and the road being joined is downhill. I took the turn too tightly and lightly scraped something underneath the car.

I've managed to have a rucksack predicament too, I got my bag trapped on a stairway handrail trying to squeeze past a group of the fairer sex whilst looking masculine, attractive and coordinated. Once my left shoulder stopped moving and my right shoulder began approaching the wall on the left rapidly I realised it was too late...oh dear me!

Tripped over a big rugby tackle back and dislocated my shoulder just before kick off of a big cup match. Was NOT populate with the coach, and it ruddy hurt! :cry:

I've had a few dealings with my rucksack at school, one was walking down a corridor with only 1 strap on and the free strap caught round a door handle and I was jerked backwards to which I went "Oh ****" to myself only for the head of maths to be behind me laughing his head off :lol:

The second one was trying to pull a different bag from underneath a big pile of bags without removing them first and then pulling my bag clean in half, books and paper spewed across the floor cue chants of "Wool, Wool, Wool" from the passing 6th formers. :oops:

I was teaching my year two class one time, and was getting rather into reading a story for them before lunch.

I like to sit on the front of the chair so I can see my whole class, but at this time I'd leant too far forward. The chair and I both tipped and we fell face first into the sea of seven year olds below us. Highly embarrassing having to fill in accident report forms for that...

I thought a cheapo tent would survive at Download festival last year, everything was fine until a massive storm drifted over camp...
