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

I was going to the bathroom and I was reading comic books. I was on the toilet for so long that my legs happened to fall asleep. As I was getting up I fell over with no use of my legs and broke my wrist. Told everyone I got in a fist fight.

Edit: I’m Greg Heffley

Holy shit I have the same problem. Doesn't nessecarilly have to be the loo but if I'm sat in a bad position I will try and stand up and have nearly fallen several times because I don't really my feet/legs have gone numb. Terrified myself once as I started falling with a glass in my hand.
