Made myself into a rubbish vampire
Aged eleven I convinced my Mum I was unwell so I was given the day off school and packed off to my grandma's, along with my little bro who always said he was ill if I was.
My Grandma wasn't very well either that day so my bro and I were tasked with walking the dog. Unfortunately 'Bonnie' didn't want to leave the house without Grandma so I told my bro to run up the street with a dog chew and call her, thus enticing her outside.
Stupidly I held on to the lead as he did this and as the dog propelled herself down the front steps and towards my bro up the road, she dragged my with her and I launched face first into the tarmac of the main road.
My brother ran inside and locked himself upstairs screaming 'BLOOD! BLOOD!' and the dog proceeded to lick my face. What I didn't know until later was that the dog had also eaten the remnants of my front teeth which were in the road around me somewhere.
My Grandma couldn't be arsed to check on me so after a few minutes of pure disbelief I crawled inside and was given some medical attention. I had to have about 10 stitches in my top lip with no anaesthetic.
The reason it is the most stupid thing I've ever done to myself is that because the nerve was so close to the edge of my teeth I couldn't have them repaired until I was 15, so I had to go through the first four years of high school looking like a rubbish vampire (they kind of broke into fangs) and being called 'Isoceles' because of the triangular gap in my teeth.
Also I now have to spend hundreds of pounds having my Porcelain veneers replaced at the dentist every 5-10 years. It's not only painful to bank balance but to my face as the dentist injects me with a massive metal syringe and then breaks the old teeth off before doing lots of drilling. Ouch.
All I'm saying is avoid falling face first kids.

At least you don't have to bother with the whitening.

Oww.
Never again will I complain, I'm only missing one corner, but I'd kill for veneers on mine. *clicks*
