    of course the BEST best are hiding spots that are within sight of the seekers' starting location

    especially if you make a big deal of making a lot of sound running away at first then creep back and hide silently while they still have their eyes closed

    it is SO satisfying hiding in plain sight
    I remember doing hide and seek at a summer camp in the forest when I was young, I realized I had a dark green sweatshirt on, so I just stood still among some bushes in plain sight of the seekers while they counted, I was never found

    Bonus tale of hiding (if not seeking):

    My senior year of college, my best friend (and roommate) dropped out halfway through the year and moved back home. He only lived like an hour away though, so he'd come back pretty much every weekend to hang out, and he still had keys to our on campus apartment and all that.

    Anyways, one weekend he got in while myself and any other roommates were still in class or otherwise out of the house, and decided to crawl fully inside our broken ass dorm couch. I guess once he got in there he got on the wifi on his phone (the smartphone timeline might not quite line up here, so maybe his iPod touch) and just hung out - I think I had a conversation with him even, not realizing he was already on campus. He didn't reveal himself for hours, and only eventually did when several people were in the apartment, making plans and even like, talking about how we needed to wait for him to show up before we could head back out, and someone finally sat down on the couch and he could wrap his arms around them.

    On the literal first day of the first job of what became my career, at my first historic site, I was being taught how to load and fire a musket and sliced my finger open on the flint.

    The way flint-lock muskets work is that the flint strikes a piece of steel to create sparks to ignite the gunpowder. It literally scrapes away the steel to create the sparks, so in addition to flint being hard, it has to be very sharp.

    These happened to be brand new muskets with a brand new flint. It was extremely sharp. It's the only time in my life I've a) gotten dizzy from blood loss and b) required stitches.

    That would be painful spider knives are sharp as fuck

    I once dropped a wine glass on the floor and stepped on one of the biggest pieces I missed somehow. It went into my big toe from the side near the nail bed. It bled like a fucker but I didn't go to the ER I just applied pressure until it stopped

    I was on a fork lift at work and went to spin it around and park it. There happened to be a large floor scale behind me with a slightly angled border that basically acted as a ramp when my back tire went over it. The whole back end up the forklift went up in the air and when it came down it bounced me up into the steel roll cage and cracked my head open.

    Tried to walk it off for about 20 dizzy minutes (I was on nights) but it wouldn't stop bleeding and I knew I couldn't pass it by day shift. So I ended up getting sent to the ER and having three staples slapped in with no local.

    Fun night. Got back to work and finished the shift over production.

    I also once, at my restaurant job, spilled hot chicken noodle broth all over my feet and probably set a world record for kicking my shoes off but still got second degree burns and legally had to be sent to the hospital.

    Possibly the worst incident I've had though... umm, not sure how much I should share on the forums, but in politest terms
    it involved a young me barely old enough to stand to use a toilet and a falling toilet seat crashing down on a part of me. It was bad enough my brain has literally blacked out the moment of impact, but uh, there was blood.

    I have never had stitches. Never properly broken a bone, just fractured a bit of my foot once. Worst thing I've done is rip the nail completely off my big toe, that was a bastard to live with for a few weeks.

    Only time I have had stitches are surgeries. One for each incision for my gal bladder removal. And then a whole bunch in my mouth when I got all my top teeth out. That was fun. They had me take a halcyon and they put 7 or 8 full vials of septicane in me then it took them like a full half hour I think to get them all out.

    i was walking through central park and i tried to be a cool guy and jump over a low hanging chainlink barrier, my shoe caught on the chain, flipped me upside down, landed face first on an exposed tree root which shoved my glasses straight down to my skull and unleash a waterfall of blood

    had to meander through central park, blind, covered in blood, and got a halal cart guy to call an ambulance for me

    60 stitches (two layers, very tight stitches) and a cool bond villain scar through my eyebrow

    Young me, not knowing damn near anything about physics, decided one day that the best way to stop myself while on a swing would be to grab the metal pole on my left at the bottom of a forward swing.

    Now, slightly further to the left of that pole was more big, metal swingset.

    Assuming you're picturing what happened correctly, you won't be very surprised to hear that a bolt decided to punch a dime-sized hole in me.

    Worst part about it was that somehow it was on the back of my knee? So while I wasn't really having as much pain or bleeding as expected from said puncture, local anesthetics just straight up weren't working for the subsequent stitches.

    And that's where I remember all the pain from this incident. Holy shit, that was not fun.

    my two worst injuries are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things, as a small child once bonked my forehead on a metal pipe on a playground hard enough to need stitches and leave a small scar, and as a medium child hit a parked car going fast downhill on a bike and went over the handlebars, scraped up my palms and knees and elbows real good on the pavement, but was otherwise surprisingly unharmed. Had to get some gravel extracted which was unpleasant and left a nice scar on my elbow.

    that’s actually what i remember most pain-wise from mine. the initial pain from the knife was overtaken by adrenaline but i remember the doctor poking my thumb meats with the anesthetic VERY vividly

    I have a like, half-inch scar where I got stabbed while throwing somebody out of a party. I was drunk so I thought he had just punched me really hard in the shoulder and then my friends freaked out and I was like "okay we'll go to temple, but lemme finish my beer so everybody knows I'm a badass who can get stabbed and finish his drink."

    it wasn't a big knife, like, a paring knife, and it just slid along my upper back fat, but when they showed it to me, I passed out.

    that's probably my biggest injury. I've broken my nose a couple times, and a leg, but those were inconvenient more than anything.

    I got a boxer's fracture on my right hand and I can't close my pinkie all the way.

    edit: oh, scars and several gang burns on my arm because I was drunk and deeply unwell.

    We used to go skateboarding down a pretty steep hill outside of town in high school. You could get up to some extremely unsafe velocities if you were completely stupid, which should be taken as a given by this point in the story.

    Once we were almost at the bottom of the hill when my cousin bailed right in front of me. While he was rolling to a stop, I ran directly into him and my board stayed behind while I continued down the hill.

    I did not roll to a stop. I supermanned for a while until my trajectory intersected with the asphalt, then I skidded on my head, shoulder, and hip bone until friction brought me to a halt. I distinctly remember the feeling of my skull scraping the pavement and thinking "I better get up before this starts hurting or I'm not going to get up." And so when I stopped I immediately sprang to my feet, the pain hit me, and I yelled "FUCK" louder than I ever had before or since.

    But of course we were marching at a football game in a neighboring town that evening, so I applied some liquid bandaid to the fist-sized abrasion where my jeans and shirt had parted ways and got on the bus. The bass drum harness was not extremely great.

    One of the chaperones was an EMT, so I had her check my pupils for signs of a concussion. She said to go to the hospital if I started pissing blood, but otherwise there wasn't much I could do except keep everything clean and stop putting a bass drum directly on the wounds.

    Fifteen years later, a weird pimple on my forearm turned out to be a little chunk of asphalt working its way out.

    One day in school, two other kids decided that a fun way to spend recess would be to throw scissors into the ceiling to get them stuck, and then get them back down. They kept going after accidentally throwing scissors across the room. They stopped after they hit me on the chin.

    I've got a small scar, but you can't see it because of my beard.

    A broken-off tree root once impaled my heel when I was working as a sailing instructor at summer camp

    Had to go and get a tetanus booster and avoid the lake for a couple of days

    I've also had a dinghy capsize onto me and somebody else's boom whang me in the head when they went into an uncontrolled gybe right next to me

    I had home EC when I was 10'ish, had to learn to sew using a machine (ended up making a jacket). Somehow I managed to get my finger under the needle, it went down through my index finger, perpendicular to the nail, then went up again, then went down through it again and then I yanked my finger away. I remember being sent to the school nurse (not even escorted, come to think of it) and she had visitors, so when I came in she was like "Can this wait?" and I just tilted up the pulp at the end of my finger, which was now only attached by the skin in one end. "Not really".

    She just kinda packed it with gauze and wrapped it up and it looks fine now, thirty years later, so...
