Clutzes. What are the worst injuries you've sustained doing a basic task?

I dislocated my knee, putting socks on. I was standing near the foot of my bed and was doing a balancing act putting the socks on.

When I went to put my right leg back down, my pants leg somehow got stuck on the footboard of my bed.

My jeans somehow decided to rip and my knee moved in a way

impact. Rather than get a railing, my dad built a custom bunk bed with three bunks, like an L-shaped

desk with two levels, and I was assigned one of the lower beds. My middle brother ended up jumping

off the top bunk into the lower bunk quite often. Once he jumped too far and broke his nose
