I managed to bump my eyeball on a cactus while watering a plant on a shelf below. Now I laugh about how clumsy it was but that was really not fun.

At least it was a cactus with many short spikes and not one of those with few but long spikes and I was lucky and got no infection :`0

Bonus fail: I once tried to remove a seized stem from the fork of a bike and pulled as haaard as I could. Punched myself right in the face when it finally and very suddenly came off XD
