Hall of shame

A postman who fell into a manhole while gawping at a pretty girl is among the entrants in a new Everyday Hall of Shame, a poll showed today.
The boyfriend who fell off a drainpipe, shattering his arm and embedding a nail in his skull as he desperately tried to circumvent his girlfriend's lock-out, joins the sewage-soaked postie in Britons' top five clumsy confessions.
And in a poll to discover the stupidest accidents people have had, Tesco found a DIY enthusiast who bit through the insulating tape and copper wires with the TV still on and a dozy worker who was left with a broken nose after walking into a newly-cleaned glass wall.

The survey of 1,434 people found sheer clumsiness was the main cause of the accidents (40%), closely followed by lack of concentration (34%).
Just over one in 10 (11%) admitted their accidents happened while under the influence, but over half (56%) of people are so haunted by their most embarrassing accident they still think about it.


So confess peeps wots the most embarrasing thing or stupid thing u've done -
Mine includes sitting on a needle and sitting on a fork, the latter causing me to need a tetanus jab!
My brother told me a cracker as well about him pal's mum jumping off the bus into a manhole - he said she just jumped off and then disappeared! lol

 

My Mum asked me to change a light bulb in her lamp. I assumed it was switched off and the bulb was still in place as the shade was such u couldn't see from where i stood.

Put my hand in straight on the conectors and found neither bulb nor power was missing

 

mines shocking playin footie wit my mates the ball landed on the line goalie JUST behind me i took a MAD I MEAN MAD swing at it and completely missed and done my knee out

may not be that embaressing but i thought it was they had some laugh

 

Two years ago in the hight of summer i was going commando as it was scorching and was out on the * on a saturday night, the night was going well until i went to the toilet,i was chatting to one of my mates and not paying attention to the task in hand and when i pulled my zip up (yes you have guessed it) i got myself caught. I looked down in horror and there was blood everywhere.That was bad enough but when i finaly got to the hospital the nurse that was taking care of me was my mums best freind,and the fact that she said dont worry David i've seen it before when i changed your nappies as a kid did not help one little bit.Take my advice always focus on the matter in hand.

 

OUCH to ya both

 

Ouch.

Reminds me of when someone kicked my fingers against the goal posts when i played in goal for the school. Bent right back against the top o my hand.

Never played piano again.

Never played it afore though

 

Glad I don't hav that problem Davie!

 

I had to play goalie at hockey once with no pads available - not a good experience

 

I've got plenty padding would have been ok i think lol...

 

I once spend far too much time pulling on a push only door. I just couldn't grasp why the door wasn't opening. When I finally did, it was simply easier to hang my head and walk away in shame. was only about 5 seconds, but felt like an hour.

 

Yeah Thomps I hate when that happens - the door's got a huge PUSH sign on it and ur pulling like mad lol

 

local furniture store had hired a new "worker" and one of the first tasks he had was to arrange a display of water beds in the show room. He laid them all out neatly(about 10 of em) and then proceeded to put price labels on them using an electric stapler. When prospective customers would sit on the beds to try them out littlefountains of water sprayed out from undeneath the price tags. I don't think he works in that store any longer.

 

Superb what a *

 

* sake lol thats a smart lad if there ever was one

 

Just read this one:

A guy who killed a prostitute cut up her body, put it in a suitcase and dumpred it in a canal – they caught him coz the suitcase had his brother's name and address on it! - what an idiot!!! Not that he should be doing that of course anyway.

 

lol a was playin hockey today at skool - lol its a lethal sport u need to watch the ball and ur shins at the same time

 

This is a great thread! Many laughs so far, and a big cringe for Big D.

Here's mine: I was working in the pharmacy and I was talking to this good-looking young man about books, school, life.... Anyway, he came in the pharmacy a few weeks later, and when I saw him I said, "Where do I know you from?" Duuuuhhh! I turned so red.

 

Was once in a 15 foot tree when I was like 11. I was trying to beat my friend to get to the highest point and he turns round and goes 'Ross, looks like that branch is gunna snap' and I went 'That'll be right!'. Branch snaps, I fall all the way down, land on Tennents Lager can, break left arm in two places, hospital for a week.

 

Maybe it was the voodoo at work! lol

 

R u not meant to say that AFTER u have a date with him
