Some people are simply clumsier than others. I’ve got friends who’ve made it this far without so much as a stubbed toe and other who seem to break bones like it’s an annual tradition.

People on AskReddit were brave enough to admit the absolute dumbest ways they’ve ever been injured.

1. It happens

“Coughed, pulled muscle in back.”

2. Bad habit

“Chipped a tooth biting my fingernails.”

3. Ouch!

“10 years old. Accidentally stepped on a croquet ball (it was bright orange). Broke my ankle.”

4. Accident prone

“In middle school I was on crutches because I broke my ankle, so in my 5th grade wisdom I decided to play soccer on an icy field using the crutches…. I broke my other ankle and ended up in a wheelchair. While in the wheelchair I got pretty good at doing wheelies and showed off a lot… That was until I tried it on carpet and the wheels slipped and I flipped the chair smashing my head into the floor giving myself a concussion. So yeah that.”

5. Hahaha

“Sneezed while crouched down and gave myself a concussion from head butting the granite countertop.”

6. That’s unusual

“One time I got chemical burns around my face from eating too much pineapple. I can list more things like this.”

7. Sinner!

“I ran into a giant cross with my cheek bone at church camp.”

8. The door

“I was helping my buddy and his dad do a kitchen demo and we were in the process of ripping off the old cabinet doors. I reached up and grabbed on to a particularly stubborn cabinet door that needed just a touch of extra force to rip it off the hinges. For some reason I decided the two handed approach was worth a shot and also decided that instead of trying to tear it down I would simply let my feet off the ground and let the weight of my body do the work…

The door came off with such force it slapped my glasses clean off my face and busted a nice fat gash above my eyebrow. Took us 10 minutes to stop laughing at my stupidity and another 15 of searching to find my glasses that had ricocheted off the floor and into the oven somehow.”

9. Wine casualty

“I stabbed myself in the wrist trying to open a bottle of wine with a pocket knife. I hit a really weird spot in my wrist because it didn’t bleed but it left a nasty scar which is still here nearly 20 years later.”

10. Dad laughed at this one

“This only lasted for a minute but when I was younger, my sis and I were at a family party and on a swing set. Some kids do this jump off when you get to the peak of the forward swing and see how far you can land.

For some reason, my dumb self decides to let go during the back swing and I land chest first on the ground. I got up and literally thought I was dying while grasping for air since my lungs got knocked out. All I remember is my dad laughing at me while I was crawling up the deck.”

11. It’s an intense sport

“Playing table tennis. Game got intense, and I didn’t want to lose. So, opponent hits the ball really close to the edge of my side of the table, I decided to go for the ball hard… slam my knuckles right into the edge of the table, bleeding profusely. To this day, almost 10 years later, those stupid scars are across my knuckles now.”

12. Unlucky

“I always wear a helmet when skiing. I was walking out to my car after a great day on the slopes and slipped. Nothing crazy just a little slip on the ice. I would have been fine, except I landed on my helmet. My full weight came down on my helmet, which was clipped onto my backpack, resulting in a broken rib.

The only bone I’ve ever broken… was a result of falling on a helmet.”

13. Shocked

“Unplugging an old electric drill. It was stuck. Got it half way out. Grabbed the metal part of the plug. The shock threw me across the room. Fun!”

14. This is a new one

“Making spaghetti, about to snap them in half. Ended up twisting them while trying to snap them, and the sharp spaghetti made multiple cuts in my hands.”

15. Party foul

“Caught fire at a party once at uni, bonded my sock to my leg and needed a skin graft for the 3rd degree burns. Following the creation of some rather strong punch, a lot of the sauce being down my jeans, some lass dropped a cigarette on me at some point later in the evening and I didn’t notice.”

Everyone loves a good fictional romance. Television shows will string out a romance over several seasons just for that “will they, won’t they” tension that viewers can’t resist. But have you ever stopped to question whether or not these characters are even a good fit for each other?

These AskReddit users opened up to reveal what fictional couples they think should never have gotten together.

1. Right on the money

“Kermit and Miss Piggy. He has depth and is kind and observant and she’s a superficial, abusive narcissist. And they’re interspecies so reproduction is impossible/ high stakes.”

2. ’70s

“Jackie and Fez. So f*cking awkward! She should have stayed with Hyde.”

3. Not a good match

“Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan.”

4. Sad face…

“Romeo and Juliet… Stupid kids.”

5. Okay…

“Zeus and most of the animals he ends up banging.”

6. Gettin’ historical

“Paris and Helen of Troy!”

7. GOT

“The Lannisters.”

8. These two…

“Bird Person and Tammy.

It was a huge mistake. F*ck Tammy.”

9. Hey o!

“Oedipus and his mom.”

10. Toxic

“House and Cuddy.”

11. Not a good combo

“Dexter and Deb.”

12. Uh uh

“Buffy and Riley. Ugh.”

13. Strange…

“Jonathan and Nancy from Stranger Things. I was happy they didn’t force the ”pretty girl leaves supposed douchebag boyfriend for the socially awkward boy” trope during the first season but they f*cked it up in the subsequent season.

Steve is the man.”

14. An interesting choice

“Anakin and Padme.”

15. Cringeworthy

“Carrie and Mr. Big.”

We all have little knowledge gaps in our minds. Whether it’s something complicated like how to drive a stick shift or something simple like how to tie your shoes, these things can be embarrassing to ask about if you didn’t learn them at the right age.

You know what I mean? These people do:

#15. How can you stay?

“What its like to be in a serious relationship with someone who you don’t see a future with. Guys either didn’t make it past a casual relationship with me, or they (he) were extremely serious and we’d plan our life together.

How can you stay with someone that you don’t want to spend the rest of your life with?”

#14. Hot or cold?

“Do I actually have to do separate loads of laundry for hot and cold wash, or can I just keep washing everything on cold?

Edit: wow this blew up. Thank you everyone for your replies! I now know more about laundry than I ever thought I would!”

#13. Hot farts.

“Why do ‘hot’ farts stink so much more than the cool ones? Is the temperature of the fart higher, making it feel hot? Or is it something having to do with the blood vessels in your ass? And why would hot ones stink so badly?”

#12. Sexting

“How to dirty text. I can’t tell where the appropriate line is between ‘hot naughty things’ and ‘thats disgusting’.”

#11. The math gods.

“Physics. I passed physics 101 by the skin of my teeth. Literally by 2 points.

I still don’t understand how I managed to pass that class. I assume the math gods finally took pity on me.”

#10. You’re not alone, my friend.

“After all these years still cant understand how Bitcoin works for the life of me.”

#9. George Costanza?

“Numerous aspects of my job.”

#8. The awkward feeling.

“So, eh, how do i make friends if i’m not in school anymore? Do i just barge into an existing group (say .. in a local whatever-sports-club) and ignore the awkward feeling of being an intruder long enough that i somehow belong too?”

#7. For three years.

“I have a double light switch on the kitchen wall by my garage and dining room entrances. I still flip both of them to figure out which controls what lights. I’ve lived there for 3 years.”

#6. Bunny ears ftw.

“The “loop, swoop and pull” method of tying shoes. Been using bunny years since I can remember and even tried learning the other way once. At this point I don’t even care.”

#5. Every Monday.

“Every Monday morning for the last 6 months a guy I work with walks up to me and says, “Monday”, with the tone you would use to say, “Morning”, as a greeting. I think it’s a movie quote, because he always laughs like it’s a joke. I’ve smiled and laughed along this entire time and now it’s too late to ask him what he’s referencing. I do my best to hide from him every Monday now.

I’d love any insight.”

#4. Which term would be acceptable?

“I’m interning with a judge, let’s call him Bob Roberts. I got the position through his son, and have been doing this for two months. The catch: in the last two months I have never called him by his name. I don’t understand which term would be acceptable. Bob, because he’s my friend’s dad? Mr. Roberts, because he’s an adult and I’m a teenager? Judge Roberts, because he’s a judge?

I compromised with myself by never saying his name, which is also kinda awkward. And because I was afraid to clarify at the start, I’ve been stuck in this quagmire for the whole summer. Help.”

#3. On paper.

“I just got an A in calculus 3 and I don’t know how to long divide on paper.”

#2. Swimming.

“How to swim…”

#1. Dude, it’s too late.

“World of Warcraft. I missed the popular days, and everybody just tell me “Dude, it’s too late..”

The post 15 People Reveal Something They Don’t Know, But Now It’s Too Late to Ask appeared first on UberFacts.

If you’ve ever been in an interview then you have heard that dreaded final question: “Is there anything you’d like to ask us?”

There’s no right answer to this question! You either make up a random question just to ask something or you say nothing at all…which somehow seems worse.

If you’re facing an interview, take heed – here are 15 employers willing to share the best response they ever heard.

#15. There were a couple.

“He asked “Were there any questions that I didn’t answer fully or you wanted me to elaborate upon further?”

As a matter of fact, there were a couple I wanted to revisit.”

#14. A good match.

“I’m not an employer, but I strongly feel that this is the one question in an interview where you shouldn’t just try to tell the interviewer what you think they want to hear. You need to interview the company as much as they need to interview you to find out if it’s a good match. Good employers will be perfectly fine with this because they want happy and productive employees who WANT to work there. So if being forced to work lots of overtime is a complete non-starter for you, ask them about their work/life balance policies. If you’re going for a desk job and you hate working in a cubicle, ask what their work environment looks like.”

#13. Some insight.

“I like asking the interviewers why they like working at the company. Gives them a chance to talk about themselves and also gives me some insight into what it’s like to work at that company.”

#12. Full disclosure.

“I have my septum pierced and a full sleeve tattoo. Both are always flipped up/covered during interviews. I always make sure to tell them that I have both and ask what their policies are on it while making it clear both can be hidden no problem. I always get a thank you for disclosing the information before starting at the job so they aren’t surprised or caught off guard. They always seem to appreciate that I go out of my way to hide it for professional reasons but still share that information with them.”

#11. Progression and opportunities.

“Normally ask who their longest serving employee is, gives you an indication on their turnover and if people enjoy staying with the company.

Also ask the interviewer what role they started off as in the company, it tells you if there is progression and opportunities.”

#10. Completely different answers.

“Young grad straight out of uni, getting into her first “proper” job

“What do you like most about working here”

It was also cool how my colleague and I had completely different answers.

(We hired her)”

#9. Show genuine interest.

“Anything about the company or position. You need to show genuine interest and that you prepared for the interview. Writing down a few things you’re unsure they’ll go over ahead of time is always a good move.”

#8. An average work day.

“Could you describe an average work day for this position?”

I do lots of interviewing and I want people to ask us about what we do. It might not be what they expect and I want them to be as informed as possible.”

#7. The benefits.

“After him reading my CV of a 14 years chef as a career and me answering all his questions, I then asked him what this business could do for me? He was taken back a little as no one had ever asked that. He then proceeded to tell me about all the benefits that come with the job, staff meals, Staff drinks, laundry washed etc. I got the job.”

#6. A long term deal.

“I said, I expect this to be a long term deal. How long have you all been here? And can I expect to move up within the company in a timely basis? There were about 4 people in the room and their mouths dropped. They’ve never had anyone ask questions like that before. I did get the job, and I’m still here.”

#5. Both times.

“What do you think it would take for a person to do really well at this job?”

​

Both times I’ve used this question, I’ve been hired.”

#4. May I ask…

“May i ask how this position became available?”

#3. References.

“As a carpenter, I ask what their status is with their suppliers and subcontractors. I’ve even go as far as asking them for references. The last time I changed jobs, I wanted it to be my last job and the economy was really strong in my area. So there were a lot of people looking for lead carpenters and supervisors. I had multiple offers and in order to decide, called their sub contractors (roofers, drywallers, painters) and asked how they liked working with them. I asked them and their material suppliers if they paid their bills on time and if they worked with them consistently.

I recommend anyone who is serious about a long term job to do the same. Especially if you aren’t desperate for any job and are interviewing with multiple companies. And sometimes you can turn it around and make them feel like they are hoping you’ll work for them instead of the other way around.”

#2. Turnover.

“High turnover is rarely an employee problem, and almost always a management problem. I ask about turnover in every single interview. If that nixes me from the hiring process, I’m more than ok with that.”

#1. A good fit.

“I guess for this I expect something that demonstrates you’re actually engaged and that you couldn’t have found out in 5 minutes on the Internet before coming in.

My interviews tend to be very freeform. There are some stock questions I have to ask, but I dislike them as much as the interviewee dislikes answering them precisely because there’s an expectation, or an expectation of an expectation, that one or both parties are trying to outmaneuver the other.

I want to know if we’ll be a good fit for each other. If you can’t help us, or we can’t provide an environment that you’ll want to stick around in, I want to know that so we’re not wasting both of our time. So I really prefer to go off script, and I ask a lot of questions where there isn’t a correct answer.”
