[sub]…stubbed my goddamned toe…
I did that a few weeks ago… to the toe beside my little toe, on my left foot.
EEEEYOWWEEEE!!!zowohmammathathurtsssshhhhhhheeeeepskins…
(I’ve been doing really well at not swearing since my son was born 14months ago today, thankyouverymuch)
Oh yeah… THAT’S gonna hurt for days!
That dang toe turned purple all over.
eeeuuuwwwwww!
I trapped my pinkie in the door on Saturday. The nail is all purple now. It hurts.

See, it’s really not fair. It’s the part of my body I pay attention to least - the smallest toe on my left foot. It doesn’t do a damn thing. Might as well be vestigial. So it must have realized it was being ignored and took steps. Reached out and whacked itself on the base of the kiddie swing, which for some reason had walked out into the middle of the hallway, where I wasn’t expecting it to be, especially not in the middle of the night, coz if I’d expected it to be there, I would have turned on the light so I could see my way around it, but I was keeping the light off so as not to wake up Mrs. Tygr or the Tygr-cub (who is six-weeks old today, thank you very much also). Now it’s eight hours later and my un-grateful smallest, most-useless body part is making sure I acknowledge its existence by sending throbs up my leg and I’m really going to be pissed off it’s broken because if you go to the doctor to get your little toe set, they’ll just laugh at you and if they don’t, the insurance company certainly will, so it’s just going to ache for a day or two, then it’ll settle down and be all ugly and crooked and bent.
But at least I’ll have a matching set…
I can sympathize with you. My wife seems to stub her big toe or break her little toes amazingly often, and I just don’t get it. We keep the medical tape in every bathroom. She won’t wear shoes in the house, so I am working on alternatives. I have looked into rubber baseboards, door kick-plates, and padding around furniture legs, but I don’t think these would solve the problem since mobile things like vacuum cleaners or large toys are usually the culprits.
My oldest daughter (5) is starting to show signs of being a habitual stubber too. Maybe I can convince her to wear steel-toed slippers or something.
Is there a syndrome or something related to this?
Yea,I crack my toes on everything. Just tape the little beasties up and you’ll be fine.

Has anyone ever woken up in the morning and stretched their legs out, and your calf muscle tightens up? I rarely stub my toes, but this happens all the time, and it the most EXCRUCIATING 10 seconds of pain.

Not in the morning, but in the middle of the night when I’m already asleep. I don’t know why, nor how it happens, but it hurts like hell and lasts longer than 10 seconds for me. Maybe you’re one of the lucky ones.

Years ago, I was chasing the Rykid around the house and didn’t make the turn from the living room to the hallway very well. I basically kicked the corner of the wall with my bare foot.
It hurts much worse when you can’t swear.
I was working on my sister’s car when her teenaged son came and stuck his wet finger in my ear. I turned around and kicked him in the ass hard enough to break two of my toes. Unfortunately, he was only sore for a couple of days, whereas I was in pain for months. Next time I’m gonna be wearing my steel-toes.
Having a 6 year old in the house does curtail your use of expletives. Good thing I can come to the Pit and rant.

Oh and uh, sorry 'bout your toe, Tygr.
