What is the dumbest way you've ever injured yourself?

I was renovating an old house, ripping nail-ridden chunks of board from a timber wall. After a couple of hours the floor is covered in a thick layer of these chunks, but my rampage is unhindered due to my awesome puncture resistant soles. Or so I thought they were...

A sharp pain shot up my right leg and I could immediatly feel the sole of my foot tense up. It hurt like crap but after a couple of well directed curse words the pain had subsided and unsurprisingly a piece of board was nailed to my foot.

A quick thug and the board was off. I violently threw it at the wall and cursed a bit more before deciding to get back to work. Unbeknown to me the fffffffn nail was still in my boot, only the board has come off. As my foot hit the floor the nail was driven all the way in inside my foot. This time the pain was fierce. It was immobilizingly painful.

I caught two nails in the side of my hip and one in the palm of my hand as I hit the floor.

tldr: stepped on the same nail twice tldr: don't buy cheap work shoes
