Oh, dear.
Here's mine, and luckily I realized before any harm was done: Keeping your tongue between your upper and lower teeth while riding your bike. Over potholes.
(ETA: I live in a place with 3x as many dogs as people, and my partner has 10 of her own, so I've been greeting loose dogs with a friendly "hello, there!" and it has worked fine.)
(ETA2: OMG, Catrin, I only now saw your other post. Keeping an aggressive dog unleashed is of course completely unacceptable, and I hope you're ok! My mental image was more along the lines of snarling.... )
going to the LBS "just to browse"
related to the OP - bathing a cat (even your own).
A few years ago I spent a vacation day at the doc getting a tetanus shot as my cranky (but needing a bath) cat let me know she didn't like baths. I had other scratches, but the deep, bleeding bite wound in my palm hurt like the dickens!
but, she loved hanging out in the bathroom when I would get ready in the morning and especially loved sitting on the side of a tub if I was in it and she'd play with the bubbles - go figure....she wanted to be in charge......
lmao... love it! :D omg sooooo true! :rolleyes:Quote:

Preliminary assumptions: meh, it can't be any different than eyebrows, right?

Another bad idea relating to cats...playing with your cat by tossing her in the air and attemping to catch her. Don't ask what I was thinking, 7 stitches later...
REALLY BAD IDEA, bringing your head near anyone who is liable to yanking out handfuls of your hair. Don't. Ask.
Climbing a fence with barb-wire at the top, just to save yourself two minute walk to the gate... Jeans and barb-wire are like Velcro. Not a good thing when your fix feet in the air. Broken ankle and six months in a cast.

Not checking the barrier to the construction area before allowing the cats into the kitchen. They were both under the house in a flash, and even treats weren't enough of a bribe to get them out.
I'm wishing the beer store delivered. I'm not going out in this rain again.
yeow. i cringe just reading itQuote:

Ouchie.
The other day I got home and I was SO hungry that I only washed my swiss chard once. I made a large batch so we'd have more the next day...
(Swiss Chard is a leafy veggie that has red stems and rough leaves and stains like beets)
Anyway, every mouthful was sandy, so I KNEW I couldn't serve it that way to my husband.
The next day, i tried to wash it after it was cooked. Red juice everywhere. What a mess. UGH.
do it right the first time.
Famous last words :DQuote:
