Argh! My nose!
#1. At secondary school, the science building had a two sets of glass double doors (inner and outer), normally left unlocked. Well, bell had gone for the end of school and I, being a concientious little pupil, rushed along to see my Biology teacher about some trivial matter. Problem was she was yelling at some little brat and she HATED being interupted. So I waited. And waited. All the time, glancing at my watch, thinking that I would miss my bus if she didn't hurry. Anyway, eventually got to see her. I was by now majorly late. In my rush to catch the shool bus, I headed straight through the first one and ploughed into the 2nd door. The tip of my nose collided with the glass at full jogging pace. Ouch. Couldn't wait. Had to catch the bus. Ran - this only made the throbbing worse - the rest of the way, caught the bus and had to explain what had happened. Off of school for a week as it was fractured - "Can't do anything about it unless it is broken", said my doctor. I still have a huge bulbous middle nose and sinus problems... the sinusitus I had after the swelling had subsidded was fun.
