This could be one to file in Ripley’s Big Book of Ludicrous Coincidences, but I seem to have suffered more minor injuries in the last few weeks working here than in the last few years at SoftSols. Nothing specifically work-related, though.
Off the top of my head in the last four or so weeks, the following have occured:
- Pulled leg/groin muscle
- Burned finger
- Bitten inside of lip (three times)
- Bashed head near eye
- Deep scratch along neck
- Damaged shoulder muscle
- Eye infection (twice)
- Bashed head on top (2-3 times – low ceiling)
- Almost been run over by ****** in an Audi
- Cut nose while shaving (I was in a rush, ok?)
- Particularly nasty cat scratch on my thumb that’s taken 2 weeks to heal
Am I getting clumsy? Old? Or just paranoid?

*has the scars*
All three.
Bugger… Ann beat me.
I don’t get the budge thing either??????? Please explain!
I get the first reference – but budge???
i often have injuries like the first 6 you mention … me and dave call it ******** like bunnies* (but mad bunnies, obviously)
In your dreams, Rik sweety!
Least you didn’t have mysterious looking bruises just before you went back to your old school…
maybe you should move in to a padded cell? ๐
Mysterious looking bruises, eh Sharon? How mysterious?
