Slept with my hand under my head and my wrist is feeling fucky. I guest I can tick off 'injury while sleeping' on the over 40 list of bullshit.

Slept with my hand

Finally showing it some love!

It has served me well in the past, only fair I return the favour.

My best effort so far has been throwing my back out very badly by bending down to pick up a tea towel

Nice!! I threw mine out sneezing a while back.

People are so surprised when you tell them, too. It’s like they expect you were lifting boulders or stopping a runaway bus, when it’s, nah, I just sneezed/bent down slightly. So unfair

I know a guy who sneezed in the shower while bending down and twisting slightly to pick up a shampoo bottle off the floor behind him, and put his back out such that he never worked again.
