We’ve all had some pretty dumb injuries in our lives. Just last night, I slept on my neck weird, and now I’m writing this looking at the screen from a 15-degree angle to the right. But what takes the cake is when I fell and badly hurt myself during the holidays after failing to notice a pothole because I was too busy admiring a gorgeous palm tree at a botanical garden. Embarrassing? You betcha!
But that’s nothing compared to what some other people have been sharing on Twitter after LA-based NFL analyst for ESPN, Mina Kimes, asked them about their stupidest injuries. And I have to say, popping your jaw while brushing your teeth too hard really makes me feel for you, Mina!
While you’re reading through the stories about dumb injuries, upvote the ones that made you groan the loudest, as well as the ones that you can relate to. And, if you’re feeling up to it, share your own similar stories in the comment section. Fortunately, there are ways to recover from such injuries more quickly, as well as to reduce the frequency of such embarrassing moments as we age.
