I have a few...
There's the one I got working for a parcel delivery company loading and unloading lorries. It was such mind numbing work that I didn't even notice when I sliced my arm wide open on a broken metal support. I carried on working and when I loaded up my trolley and turned to exit a lorry, I noticed a trail of blood on the floor. I followed it with my gaze until it led to the enormous gash in my arm which is now a 3 inch scar.

Then there was the one I got for stupidity - I got literally blind drunk on xmas eve 1998. On the way home, I slipped over on the icy roads and landed face first. I have a vague recollection of picking myself up, touching my face and noticing my hand was then covered in blood. The next thing I remember, I woke up and had to literally peel the pillow off of my face where all the blood had congealed. I now have a large round, lumpy and very hideous scar below my nose so I have to have a goatee at all times to hide it.

And finally, I have a thin 3 inch scar across my forehead. I have absolutely no idea whatsoever how I got it. I should probably be worried that I have at some point sustained a head injury and cannot remember it at all.
