This is a question Self-Inflicted injuries

Spanishfly asks: Ever injured yourself in a moment of frustration? When have you ever done something stupid or sensible that has ended up with you injured? Punched an Asda sign because they didn't have tiger bread? Yeah, us too

This isn't a question about intentional self-harm

Double eyebrow
In the olden days I used to drive a Mini - a proper one, not a BMW pastiche.

I had just filled it with petrol (this was 1987 so it cost me about £5) and bent down to reach into the door pocket to fetch my wallet. I have no idea how but I managed to face plant on to the rain gutter around the roof directly on my left eyebrow. Those that know Minis of old will know that the gutter is steel and not very forgiving. The impact left me with a double eyebrow which was split pretty much from end to end - you could see bone.

I staggered into the garage with blood pouring down my face, into my eyes and all over my lovely white shoes. Somehow I managed to pay my bill and get back out to the car before I passed out. I don't do blood.....

Every day when I look in the mirror, I am reminded of that day as my left eyebrow has a distinct top and bottom half.

They didn't try and talk you out of driving?
Even if you didn't pass out, the blood pouring into your eye would have made it hard to see
