People Share Their Stupidest Injuries in This Hilariously Relatable Thread

Have you ever injured yourself in a ridiculous way? I have. I once pulled a muscle in my neck because I yawned as I reached down and pulled my jeans up while getting dressed. Couldn’t move my head for a week. That was a stupid injury.

I’m comforted to learn that I’m not the only person to suffer a stupid injury. Apparently, it is so much more common than I thought!

People have been sharing their own instances where they have injured themselves in a clumsy way, and honestly? I feel a lot better now.

It all started when the popular UK social media channel Very British Problems posted this question on Twitter.

I once put my back out while tossing a pancake. What’s your stupidest injury?

One morning, I overstretched a tendon in my neck trying to look at the alarm clock behind me. All because I was too tired to actually turn over. 😅 https://t.co/xtT9Rq4FMV

I severely dislocated my knee at a climbing centre. I fell over in a queue and caught my foot under some padding. Fell from about the height of a curb. Took a year to recover
