If you are a human being who does not live in a bubble, you have hurt yourself doing something stupid. You’ve grabbed something that was hot, you’ve dared use a mandolin, you’ve tripped, you’ve fallen, and on and on and on.
Me? I ran straight into a centerfield fence playing softball – during warmups – and needed stitches in my knee.
Below, 10 other people are confessing to the pure, clumsy idiocy that goes part and parcel with being a human.
Ain’t it grand?
10. This one takes the cake.
Or the bacon, as it were.
Brushed off some frost off some bacon and then subsequently slipped on the melted ice and broke my elbow, a week before my wedding. Fortunately did not need a cast but had a sling to wear on and off and couldn’t keep my arm totally straight for wedding pics.

9. I’m gonna go ahead and say it was worth it.
I mean. It’s cake.
Cracked a tooth biting into a king cake baby

8. I can see how this would happen.
You gotta check behind you, yeah?
My only stitches came when I ran head first into a brick wall playing tag.

7. There’s no good part of this story.
Talk about making the car buying process worse.
Was going over paperwork at a car dealership. My daughter (around 3 years old) was sitting on my lap. She grabbed a paper and threw her arm up jabbing the corner of the paper into my eye and slicing my cornea. Somehow I didn’t drop an F bomb.

6. You’ve gotta go hard at practice.
But perhaps not this hard.
I once broke a finger while trying to lay down a bunt…,at a batting cage

5. It would only happen to a Lion’s fan.
Oh come on, you know I’m right.

4. I hope it’s all ok now.
If not, this really isn’t a happy story.
Broke my index finger. Doc splinted & wrapped it. I heard him tell me to come back in 3 months. I heard wrong. He said 3 weeks. Unwrapped it & it had calcified straight so I was always pointing. Got drunk at a show that night & my friend “rebroke” it for me on stage on mic.

3. I have questions.
Sadly, we’re never going to know more.
Got a concussion packing up a crockpot to move

2. This is almost impressive.
Unless it happened to you.
I strained my leg sleeping.
Sleeping.
My running from zombies nightmares get intense apparently.

1. Be careful with that candy.
It’s going to send you to the dentist one way or another.
I chipped a molar the same way biting into a Tootsie Pop. Just like the owl in the commercials, I just could not wait to get to that Tootsie Roll center.

These stories make me feel a bit better about my own, to be honest.
