We’ve all done something super dumb that ended in an injury. Maybe you grabbed a pan by the hot part instead of the handle. Maybe you smashed your head on the corner of a cabinet you just opened. Or maybe you tripped over absolutely nothing at all.
Eleanor Penny took to Twitter to ask what everyone’s dumbest injury was and the answers did not disappoint.
Your personal brand is the most stupid way in which you’ve accidentally injured yourself.

1) This blood-thirsty killer
I’m the only person who ever lost at Shadow boxing – dislocated my shoulder, tko.

2) Keep your eye on the game, not your opponent
Butterfly swimming race, girl in the next lane is my nemesis from enemy school. We’re neck and neck: I’m convinced there’s room for one last power stroke. I smash my nose into the end of the pool, blood blossoms as I touch for 1st, she shies away in horror and comes 4th. Worth it

3) This gal with too many injuries to list in one tweet
1) At 28 missed the last step going down stairs, landed on a shoe, rolled my ankle & tore it up. Got stuck in Wales for a month til I could travel home.
2) At 8 broke my right wrist falling of a dining chair
3) At 13 broke my left wrist running on a wet floor (after being warned)— Strike it Glucky (@CoffeeAndGinger) August 15, 2018
4)At 15 fractured a bone in my hand falling over when dancing to Spice Girls.
5)Around 7 or so gave girl a piggie back, fell over, she landed on concrete I on grass – she got bruised but I cut my head open. Still got the scar.— Strike it Glucky (@CoffeeAndGinger) August 15, 2018
4) Ever get so excited, you gave yourself whiplash?
Looking at the moon too fast. Was in a brace for months. 😂

5) Where’s Rachel?!
I broke my arm jumping off a climbing frame. Dressed as batman.

6) Maybe a Bluetooth next time?
Mine’s unbelievably stupid. I put my laptop on top of a high bathroom cupboard while listening to a podcast with headphones in & shaving. I moved, which pulled the laptop down off the shelf and onto my head. Laptop miraculously undamaged, though I had to clean blood off my webcam

7) That’s not what that hole is for
Cutting a bagel. With my finger through the hole.

You’re the reason this exists
8) Well… At least you managed to protect one hand
Put one oven glove on, opened oven with said gloved hand, reached into oven with other hand..
