The truth is, we love it when people hurt themselves. In fact, there’s even viral videos, Instagram accounts and even TV shows dedicated to the phenomenon. Okay, so we’re not all sadists, we don’t want anyone to be seriously injured, but we’re huge fans of the things that go “bump” in the night. Especially when the “bump” is easily avoidable.

Reddit users have been gracing us, once again, with a wonderful thread. This time, to share the absolute dumbest ways they’ve hurt themselves.

And, these are just great

1. This guy, who was NOT ready for this jelly

“My friend saw a jellyfish on the beach then kicked it. Like on purpose and knowing what it was. They had to go to the ER.”

2. This Epi-c fail

“I found my dad’s EpiPen one day while looking for mouth spray for sore throats. It obviously wasn’t what I was looking for but I wanted to figure out how it worked. I ended up shooting the needle clear through my thumb. I then hid the evidence of my stupidity and never told my mom until years later.”

3. Another “grape” move

“Threw a grape in the air to catch it in my mouth. It fell on the floor and I bent down to pick it up and smashed my face into the window sill.”

4. Simple, yet seriously stupid

“Drank hot tea lying down.”

5. The “butt” of all jokes

“Was helping husband replace the bathroom fan, so I was standing on the side of the bathtub. I had this plastic hook glued to the shower wall to hang a loofa on. I went to get down and slid down the wall and hooked my butt cheek to the wall. It hurt so bad but was also hilarious. I’m in my 40s and this happened recently.”

6. This confirmation of something we’ve ALL thought could happen

“I broke a rib by coughing too hard.”

7. Cartoon Network would be so proud

“Shot myself in the eye with a nerf gun. I looked into the barrel to see if it was loaded. I was 8.”

8. Okay I need to see this movie

“When I was a kid we had blue carpet in the living room. I had just watched some movie or show where the characters jumped into a painting and I started thinking maybe if I believed really hard, the blue carpet would turn into a vast ocean. So I climbed up on the recliner and swan dove into the floor.”

9. This, that defies the laws of anatomy

“I was pulling a heavy blanket up, my hand slipped off of it, and my thumb (with a longish nail) went straight into my eye.”

10. This hard relate

“On Wednesday I sat down wrong. That’s it. Being 30 sucks already.”
