Health: Today, I absentmindedly stuck two magnets in my mouth while talking,...

Today, I absentmindedly stuck two magnets in my mouth while talking, and accidentally swallowed them. I had to go the emergency room. The nurses at the station laughed at me. They thought it was a joke. They couldn't believe an 18 year old would swallow magnets. FML

Today, my five-year-old told me she had accidentally swallowed a thumbtack. In panic mode we raced to the ER. With no insurance. Only after the tests, examinations and X-rays did she tell me was "just joking." FML

Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML

Today, I blanked and forgot to take out my piercing before going for my MRI, even though the nurses asked me multiple times to make sure I had no metal on me before entering, you know, the big machine made of massive electromagnets. The piercing was on my clitoris. FML

Stiff upper lip

Today, I went to the dentist for a routine check-up, and halfway through the appointment, the dentist exclaimed, "Oops!" Turns out, he accidentally glued my lips together while fixing a tiny chip in my front tooth. I spent the next two hours communicating through exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. FML

Today, as I was trying to remove my lunch from the hot oven tray, my finger brushed against the metal for a moment, and I instinctively put it in my mouth. I burnt my tongue, on my finger. I didn't realize that was possible. FML

Today, I went to the orthodontist to have my braces worked on. I accidentally swallowed some of the cleaning solution she used. She told me it would probably give me an upset stomach. Apparently, an upset stomach and crapping your pants means the same thing to an orthodontist. FML

what's wrong with swallowing magnets? you can walk up to a girl wearing a bunch of jewelry (well maybe really really cheap jewelry thats magnetic) and be like.. "I think there's a connection.. I'm magnetically attracted to you"

YDI for putting them in your mouth and trying to pass this all off as an accident.

... absentmindedly ... while talking ... accidentally swallowed ... ?!? Are you in control of anything you do? Please, do NOT answer "I dunno". "They couldn't believe an 18 year old would swallow magnets." -- neither can we. Now, what you were *supposed* to do with those magnets was glue them to the base of your dick, and go looking for pretty girls wearing braces...

why would you "absentmindedly" stick them in your mouth? and then "accidentally" swallow them? arent kitchen magnets fairly large? as in. large enough to be ridiculously uncomfortable to swallow? ydi for being such a tard.

Why wouldn't you just vomit them up right after swallowing them?

... and why would an 18 years old stick magnets down his throat?

So the question is: Why did he need to go to the ER. Swallowing ONE magnet is fine. It'll pass. Swallowing TWO OR MORE is a huge huge problem. If they decide to "pinch" while going through the bowel, e.g., where one is in one section of his intestines, and the other is in another nearby section, and they decide to *click* snap together. THAT situation can become a huge problem and often requires surgery to get it corrected.
