Didn't happen to me but someone I went to high school with broke his thumb by taping a cover onto a book. Yes, you read that right. Taping a book.

What’s the dumbest freak injury of your life? I’ll start: Took a leak then somehow broke my goddamn index finger when I caught it on the door facing while leaving the bathroom. That’s incredibly stupid but I know some of you can defeat me. Go.
