35 Injuries That Were So Embarrassing People Lied About How They Sustained Them

Some injuries are too embarrassing to admit to. Sure, maybe you actually got a concussion because you were spreading butter on your toast very precisely, sneezed and banged your head on the countertop, but no one needs to know that. Obviously, you would make up literally any excuse to avoid admitting that you’re so particular about your butter distribution that it landed you in the emergency room. 

These are the kinds of injuries Redditors have lied about sustaining, and frankly, we can’t blame them. No one needs to know how they got those scars — especially the dude who said he got mugged. That’s much better than the real reason for his injury.
