Have you ever accidentally hurt someone?

[Reecejackox 409]

I once a threw a pen to my mate who was lying on the pen , he didn't catch it properly and it stabbed him and caused a cut on his hand.

[Rhythm Red 6,484]

A few years back, my saxophone case fell out of my locker and hit someone. I felt really bad...

[DubWolf 17,498]

Yes and I always feel very guilty if severe enough  .

Then again wouldn’t most of us feel the same way  ?

I probably did it when I was younger, but now I'm usually more careful of my surroundings.

[They call me Loyalty 1,951]

Yes, my strength has always been somewhat brutish, even as a child.

So, I've ragdolled two or three people at once. Then crashed another one into the ground while playing soccer. Once I pushed someone out the the way, but I sent it flying nine feets, over school benches.

Also damaged the lower spine a rugby player, it's kinda like american football. And then I broke the ribs of a guy with my palm, it was mistreating a friend of mine though. That's some of the unintentional stuff, anyway.

And forgot to mention I bloodied a friend's nose, while playing tennis, making the ball bounce onto the ground, and consecutively into its face.

And there's more than I can count from practicing martial arts.

Yes, hello. I once stepped on my friend's toe so hard that he YELPED out loud! It was an accident, of course, however I fretted that permanent harm had been done and so I quietly wept afterwards.

Accidentally broke a kid's finger when I was younger.  Also when I graduated High school, when the cap throwing part came up my cap jabbed someone in the eye.  Looked like it hurt too!

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Sadly yes. I was shooting one of my long full court shots. The ball bounced off the back of the rim, went high, yelled "Look out!" a second late and this guy ended up getting bonked real hard on the top of the head with the basketball...

I was playing ninja (a game they teach you in theater, not pretending to be a bloody ninja) and I swung backwards accidentally hitting this girl I knew... and despite apologizing she slapped me. I remember having a crush on her, but looking back at how she treated me she was a real ass.

Oh I almost posted without telling this story... I learned the hard way why you shouldn't throw rocks. Everything is a bit fuzzy, but I threw a rock when I was 5 and I must of had aim bot on or something because I managed to hit this kid who was far away from me... and in the head. I got a stern talking to, but I was let go. I had apologized repeatedly to the kid so I don't think he was too pissed at me.

Now when you say "accidentally hurt someone" are you meaning physically or emotionally? Or both?

[cuteycindyhoney 13,320]

In high school I was playing tennis with a friend. Somehow I managed to hit her right in the throat with a serve. She dropped to her knees and I thought I killed her! She couldn't talk above a whisper for over an hour. I felt terrible!

[kaiser5578 340]

I was playing slender (yeah remember that short-lived craze?) with a couple of my friends and when i wound up getting jumpscared i went into auto-pilot and quickly turned punching my friend in the face... he never came by my place again after that

[shadowwarp940 1,303]

It was my first time trying to use roller skates and I was about to fall down, so in a last ditch effort I grabbed on to my brother. We both fell down and his tooth got cracked, I still feel really bad

[Narcissus 356]

I always seem to be hurting someone. I seldom mean to, but I must be bad luck or something because misfortune seems to befall those around me.  

[SparklingSquirrels 21,365]

I actually can't think of any times where I seriously physically hurt someone. Maybe accidentally stepping on their foot or something...

Emotionally though? Yeah I have...

I've accidentally caused people to fall off their bikes because they're going too fast and appear out of nowhere.

I've emotionally hurt people loads of times because of my honesty. 

[Appley Hooves 136]

Often. I word stuff badly on here and get into piles of unintentional fights.

Avoiding that by saying nothing tends to lead to the same result though

[Prospekt 11,021]

I accidentally tripped people on the playground from time to time when I was a kid. And more recently I kinda started a domino effect when I slipped on ice in front of a few other people...

!

...Was the saxophone okay?

[Ganondorf8 11,424]

I've done things like that to people when I was younger--I had some anger issues--but I'd rather not talk about them. Doing so would make me think back on those times and while I do yearn for the past at times, I prefer to forgot those past incidents because of how humiliating they make me feel.

[Guest]

I can still remember that one occasion when I was a kid.  I was having fun at a playground years ago and accidentally stepped on another kid's fingers while climbing on the ladders. It's been years and I still feel terrible.

[Nsxile 27,554]

I've done so plenty of times when I was much younger. Not so much now.

[Lucky Bolt 35,095]

Have I accidentally physically hurt someone? I don't know but I've accidentally stepped on people's feet before. I think that's the worst of it though.  

[Kamii 596]

Yes, I've hurt plenty of people plenty of times. When I was a kid, I would hurt my friends, my brother, my cousins (of course, never on purpose, but still)... Nowadays, only if I step on their feet or something like that.

Back during secondary school when we were forced to play playground hockey, I swung for the puck and accidentally smacked someone in the crotch with a hockey stick. He used to give me a hard time and was one of many who made my secondary school days hell. But seeing him writhing on the frosty playground, eyes watering did make me feel a little bad. Not that the sadistic little shit ever give a damn how he made me feel. Karma is a well swung hockey stick to the crotch I guess.
