I once worked with a guy who had an accident and all we heard was that he broke his leg and would be away for a few weeks.
He came back after having two surgeries, a bunch of hardware placed in his leg and he had to roll around on one of those scooter devices.
"Omg man! What happened??"
"I tripped over my dog..."
"What kind of dog do you have?"
"A dachshund..."
"Well that will never work. You need to tell everyone that you were mauled by a bear, or fell out of a second story window saving a baby from a fire. Something cool."

It’s not the tripping part that gets you. It’s the gymnastics you attempt while trying not to land on them on your way down.

That said, give this man a gold medal.

My ex wife's cat is one that loves to weave between the legs, especially when you are moving fast. We call him "neckbreaker" this is why.

“He suffered cat-astrophic injuries.”

Don’t ever change, New York Post.

That cat was attempting murder. Maybe he should at least be on the lookout around that cat.

As if that wasn’t agonizing enough, his oblivious pet started stamping on his chest — a move he’d reportedly been doing all night, said Rowley.

He stayed injuried overnight with his cat declaring victory on his broken body. That such a sweet baby though.

My dog broke my arm just cause he decided to stop walking in front of me, that adorable jerk who I love with my whole heart!

And the gold medal for underfooting goes to…

Cat: Drat! I'll try again tomorrow...

“The cat’s adorable, and he’s only young,” he said. “I don’t take any umbrage to that, it’s just one of them things — it could have happened anyway.”

Feline Goddess, Bastet, mi amor! Now I feel better about catching your head in the door!

I'd believe it. I tripped over a cat, stepped on a food bowl correcting myself, staggered closeau-like across the room and slammed into the back of a kitchen chair.

5mm rotator cuff tear. These lil' shits are hazardous to your health

I stubbed my toe so badly a month ago that I'm still recovering from it. It took weeks to be able to wear shoes or socks without pain.

This is posted on NY Post a website owned by Rupert Murdoch the same person who owns Fox News. It uses a misleading headline saying "car crash injuries" which actually means a similar type of injury you'd get in a car crash but most people would read it thinking that a car crash was somehow involved in the story despite there not being cars anywhere in the story.
