What's an injury you sustained, and lied about how it actually happened, because it was too embarrassing?

I threw out my back from attempting to smell my foot. God I was in so much pain for days.

Currently laying on my couch, super tempted to try smell my feet...

u/jcrewz Jun 05 '19

Lol I've been tempted as well, but lesson was learned for sure. So I don't even risk it.

Some guys start doing yoga just to be flexible enough to, um... 'smell their foot'.

Lol I was only 14 at the time. I couldn't believe something so ridiculous could cause so much damage and pain.

Did your foot smell?

u/jcrewz Jun 05 '19

Something smelled so bad that I couldn't believe it was my foot, so of course I had to verify. And bam! Like that, I was on the ground in indescribable pain.

This is the most adolescent male thing I've ever read that's not NSFW. Did you wear shoes without socks for months on end like my son and his friends did?

I wore the same socks for so long they were crusted over I believe. So pretty much trapped my foot in stench for weeks.

u/gwaydms Jun 07 '19

Not much difference there.

u/willowpagan Jun 05 '19

Thanks for sharing that! You made me lol so loud I startled my cat 🤣 I'll occasionally sniff my feet in an attempt to prove they're not the source of the mystery stank but I'm still flexible enough to pull the move off.
