I'll start: I tried to move a bookshelf while drunk about 6 years ago and tore a tendon in my shoulder pretty damn good. It still bothers me sometimes if I move it wrong or sleep on it wrong.

Walking my dog one day and met a random stranger also walking his dog, he bent down to pat my dog and his dog attacked mine, the stranger used his hands to pry open his dogs mouth and got bit. I took my dog to the vet to get stitches, and explained what happened. The vet informed me the best way to stop a dog biting down on something is to insert your finger in its arse, I have never had reason to use this knowledge so far.

Holy shit. Literally the last thing I'd think of...

This is also up there with waking up someone that might have overdosed. Tip from a ambulance runner? Rub your knuckles on their breastplate HARD. try it. Hurts like hell.
