Long story short, today I went skiing and slipped IN THE LIFT LINE NO LESS, and my knee twisted in an. .. unnatural. .. kind of way. Ski patrol took me down in a tobagon but I opted not to see a doc since it didn't hurt too badly.
Well, now it does, boo. I'm icing it and resting it, and hopefully it will feel better tomorrow.
Each injury I get is stupider than the last. Please tell me I'm not the only one, lol.

One time I tripped over a crack in the sidewalk at the top of a hill. Stumbled down most of the hill and fell into a bush on the side of the road. I still have scars from the bush's thorns. Lol.
Another time, I wasn't supposed to be cheating on my Weight Watcher's diet. When I was sneakily grabbing the ice cream out of the freezer, I slammed my fingers in the freezer door. Karma?

Aw that sounds really painful! I hope nothing is damaged. Ive always been most anxious around the lift compared to any other aspect of skiing so I feel like this is something I would do too. For what its worth I think breaking my wrist snowboarding was a pretty stupid injury... should have been skiing like a reasonable person. 
Feel better!

I have one that will take the cake. The cat was meowing outside our door in the morning the other day. I woke up, half asleep, opened the door to let her in. She continued to meow until I got up to feed her - half asleep, the door ajar, and went WHAM!!!! Right into the SIDE of the door, not the flat part, head first as my husband sat in bed laughing at me.

I once hyperextended my knee picking up a huge guy friend of mine because he bet I couldn't lift him. I was young (college), but that was just dumb. I sure showed him... 
My sister broke her arm as a kid because she fell off a tree root and landed on it funny - not out of the tree, just off of the 3 inch tall root.
I'm sorry it hurts, and I hope you feel better soon!

I stepped on a crack three weeks ago leaving a restaurant and split my knee open. Went down like a sack of potatoes. Happens to the best of us!

I tripped on an uneven sidewalk while running along a very busy 4 lane road....I split my knee open and scrapped a million places. I was also 3 miles from my house with no way to get home but run.
It was a quite humiliating/painful run back home! We've all been there...actually I'm pretty sure I get a new bruise everyday. I hope you get better soon!

I twisted my knee when I slipped on ice while taking out the trash! It hurt for a few days but got back to normal fairly quickly. I also once tore a major ligament in my foot by pivoting too quickly while walking on a perfectly flat, normal floor. That sucked, especially since it put me on crutches for 3 weeks and out of dance for 4 months.

I fractured an arm in grad school when I got up in the middle of the night and tripped over a suitcase I'd left in the middle of the room. Duh.

I jammed my 2nd to last toe so bad on the edge of a bouncer that I was unable to walk and had to take off work the next day, and explain to my boss what happened. You would think toes aren't that special but MAN are they important!
Feel better soon!

@beaker: Ha! That reminds me of my second most stupid injury....I dislocated THREE toes once getting out of the shower. I didn't life my foot up high enough to clear the tub. I felt so dumb when I told people why I was using crutches. So dumb!
I'm glad I'm not the only one Thanks for making me feel better everyone, haha. The knee is stiff but I'm hobbling around pretty well.
