What's your dumbest, accidental, self-inflicted injury, one that happened because you were careless?

Most recent: I was taking a plate out of the cupboard while completely zoned out and managed to catch myself across the bridge of the nose, resulting in a very nasty looking black eye. 

All time worst: I was taking a brand new big chinese cleaver out of its box and it slipped and sliced my ring finger right to the bone, requiring 9 stitches.

    I was trying to put a meat thermometer into a raw potato once while talking to a coworker. Somehow I put it through my hand instead.

    I was making the bed and when I flipped the cover it caught the light fixture and it in turn cut a gash out of the bridge of my nose, took stitches & left a scar.

    I was a farm kid. Was during winter cows were feeding outside, I was carrying a kettle of boiling water past them to thaw out a pump. I decided to spill a bit of the boiling water on a cow's hind leg to see if it would startle her; next thing I recall is laying flat on my back in a semi conscious state.
