It’s no fun to get an injury like a broken arm or a sprained ankle. It hurst, obviously, and then your whole life is disrupted while you heal. But you know what’s worse than getting injured? Getting injured in a really stupid way. And not a funny-stupid way, like getting 2nd degree burns from lighting a fart. I mean basic, embarrassing, “how could you possibly do that” kind of stupid. Like, burning yourself by ironing your pants while you’re still wearing them stupid.
Twitter user and author Eleanor Perry encouraged her followers to share their most embarrassing injury stories–not just because it’s hilarious, but also because it says a lot about you.
