Real People Share Their Most Embarrassing Mistakes

Sleepy and Confused

I was sleeping at an awkward angle one afternoon and all my weight had fallen on my arm. As a result, my arm fell asleep too and got seriously numb.

The phone started ringing and the sound somehow blended in my dream, causing me to dream about a fire alarm going off. I became panicked in my sleep and that panic continued when I realized that the ringing wasn’t just in my dream, it was happening for real.

So I popped up, sleepy and confused, and started running towards the source of the noise. My arm was so numb that it was beyond my control and was flailing randomly by my side, crashing onto nearby walls and furniture as I was running towards the sound.

It was like running with a jelly-like arm. Anyway, I don’t know which of the crashes and bumps was the one that did the job, but I dislocated my pinky.

It was a good hit, and my finger stood at a really weird angle afterward. I had to go to the doctor to put it back in its place. It hurt like crazy too. Story credit: Reddit/I_hate_traveling
