We’ve all had those moments where an injury was just too embarrassing to fess up to. You know, like that time you managed to break your wrist after getting off the toilet because your legs fell asleep from sitting there too long. Yeah, telling your friends you hurt yourself at the gym sounds way better than admitting that your showdown in the bathroom went horribly wrong.
These are the kinds of injuries people have come up with ridiculous cover stories for, and honestly, who can blame them? Whether it’s a trip to the ER that started with a simple sock slip or a bruised ego from an overzealous attempt at home improvement, sometimes the truth is just too awkward to share. These stories are as hilarious as they are relatable. So check out some of the best (or worst) cover-ups people have concocted to hide the truth behind their most cringe-worthy injuries.
