Current Events > I will gift a $25 Steam game to whomever can guess how I hurt my neck this AM

(+) Yeah! (+)

It still hurts real bad, possibly even more than when it happened today at 6:15am Central Time -600GMT.

Any one game you want, max value $25. Ends in 24hrs of this post.

That being said, there is one CORRECT answer. That is the full $25 game value

There is one "kinda" answer. If that is guessed first, that user gets a $10 game. The remaining $15 is still open to anyone who guesses the CORRECT answer.

Go.

woke up

you fell out of your bed

stretched the wrong way

Attempted to put on shoes or socks at a bad angle

I sense a "Cousin Walter" incident.

If your older than 30 that can happen literally any way possible. Christ, I've looked up and nearly felt crippling pain in my neck.

Slipped in the shower

You tried reaching for something at a weird angle.

idk what that means so you'll have to be more specific.

you went to sleep drunk and used your hands as a pillow

You merely tried to stretch.

*coughs*
*is in agony for days*

Your neck isn't actually strained, it's a stress injury.

I am older than 30. In fact my 34th birthday is in a few weeks. This is not the first time it's been something real dumb, but this is the first time I've literally been so upset I was almost impressed. And man, it still hurts to move my neck much and I imagine it's gonna be several days before it heals.

Slipped and fell. If you want specifics, on some ice?

Old age. You turned your neck a fraction in one direction, and were accordingly punished for it.

Tried doing "yoga"

Did you pull a muscle brushing your teeth? I did that once

I was being a smartass. If you are a fan of Kevin Smith movies you would understand the reference. This particular Cousin Walter story is told by Randal to Dante in the movie Clerks about how his Cousin Walter broke his neck trying to suck his own dick.

Sex injury.

ahahahahahahahaha

Rinsing your head while showering.

Slept in a bad position

You forgot to set your clock(s) for DST and in the panicked stupor hurt yourself in your confusion.

Oh! Thinking you slept in because of daylight savings time, and jerking your neck looking at the clock really fast?

Beat me to it.

... who the fuck uses an alarm clock that doesn't automatically adjust for DST?

You were looking upwards for too long.

Fine, you tried doing a handstand.

Maybe you cracked your neck and it just hurt this time.

Played on your phone for far too long and strained your muscle while taking a dump?

Got a cramp edging with the belt

An alarm clock that's just a clock, and doesn't have a calander or Wi-Fi? Like most of them when you Google "alarm clock".

Yet they still have bunches of them in shops. If no one bought them, shops would have stopped carrying them years ago.

It's only going to get worse sadly. My former co-worker was 42 and just sitting on his bed leaning down to put on his socks he ended up ripping all the lower tendons in his back. The guy was bedridden for 6 months.

Towel drying your hair after a shower.

Stretching after waking up? You included your neck this time, either by trying to pop it or just legit stretching.

I still use one for my workday alarm.

You didn't engage in headbanging like a heavy metal band did you?

Trying to perform the ol' Manson Mandown.

Someone put 17 turnips in your pillowcase.

Tying your shoes

Slept off the side of your bed with your head hanging down.

You, your partner, and two or more other people equipped with step ladders, and dressed as lumberjacks, were trying some dangerous and kinky stuff, then suddenly there was a mistake made which resulted in your sore neck?

Sleeping wrong.
