What are some of the awkward ways you've injured yourself?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
From walking into a glass door, stubbing your toe against the couch, tripping on a flat surface - the list goes on. At some point in our lives we've all been guilty of acquiring the most strange injuries.
Hear how this lady who sent Jane a voice note detailed how she nearly lost an eye:
My mom recently injured her eye in the most freakish way and this got me thinking about the strange ways we've all injured ourselves.
While at a shop, my mom tried to stretch her reading glasses and in doing so, the middle piece of the frame that goes over the nose area gauged out a piece of her cornea! Can you ever?!

With a bloody face, she went off to an eye specialist and was relieved to hear she hadn't damaged the retina. Sjoe! That was a lucky one!
Another story was a friend who was installing a new shower door and somehow slipped and the whole thing came smashing to the floor, resulting in a slashed foot and 10 stitches in the end. Stitches! Ouch!

I was recently at a braai where one of the guests ran into the glass door (yip the old glass door at a braai story, we have all done it, right?!)
