I just fell like an idiot onto my hoover and bin on my way out of the shower. Stupid gravity. My first injuries in this country, I realise.
I've had plenty of internal crap going on, though.
Owwww my arm and leg.
Silver lining being I can now show off my shiny injuries to my students. |

I opened my bathroom door on my face. I have a cut nose and a bruised right eye. Everyone thinks that I am in an abusive relationship. |

I got into a fight with three Marines. Now everyone thinks I don't know how to open my bathroom door or how to get into and out of my shower!  |

That is just how Marines show how much they love you. |

Sorry to hear about your altercation with your vacuum. Household objects are dangerous. In the past 3 days I have cut myself on a wine bottle (not the wine bottle itself-the apparently deadly foil wrapper), burned myself on the toaster oven, and walked into a table. I think I need to child proof my apartment. |

I wouldn't usually mind. Actually I still don't, I was giggling hysterically naked on the floor, but I had just done a work out and muscles were dead and I felt completely out of control of my fate.
Usually when I fall I can flail my arms into a position of protection, but... but.. It all happened too fast! |

We all have these little mishaps, but how do you walk into a table?? Did you move it recently?
My best injury was the first morning I woke up in my new apartment. The alarm went off and I went to jump out of bed, eyes still closed. The problem was that the wall was on the opposite side of the bed to that which I was used to. Nice lump on my head for the first day of class.
To go off on a tangent, the other dumb thing I always do when having been away from Korea for a while is to wake up, take a shower, get fully dressed, then go to clean my teeth and forget to flick that little switch that diverts the water from the shower head to the tap, thus spraying water all over my freshly-clothed body. |

It's a low floor table. I turned around when I was hanging laundry and ran into it. |

Kinda thought so, but why was the vacuum in your bathroom? |

No no it's just next to the door on the outside, so i turned on the frictionless floor and met my fate of doom and pain. My leg is massively swollen now.
I hear chicks dig swollen limping injuries though. |

Sort of an oxymoron? |

I think chicks would dig the fact that you actually own a vacuum a lot more. |
