Today, after my boss has gotten in the habit of calling me "bubble wrap girl" at work because I'm clumsy and he claims I need to be covered in bubble wrap for my own protection, I have just probably broken two toes by dropping a hairdryer on my foot. I will never hear the end of this. FML

OP here, thankfully my toes are not broken after all. And for those asking how a hair dryer could possibly do that, it's easy. The more times you break a bone, the easier it is to re-break. So no, my hair dryer is not made of concrete, I'm just fragile...

Bubble wrap would be so fun to wear though? Like, you'd be happy wherever you went

Actually they grow stronger after they've healed for a long time. Unless they've been broken repetitively within a short time frame

Unrelated to the story, I was paid to wear bubble wrap all over my body for an entire day, and I have to say it was the most fun I've ever had. You can run into any wall, fall face first, or do anything really and you just bounce a bit and get back up. It's a lot of fun.

Paid? I WOULD DO THIS FOR FREE! Especially if someone else supplied the funpopwrap

Clumsy people are annoying. Pay more attention to yourself and your surroundings.

As the OP, I can honestly tell you that paying attention to what I'm doing does nothing to help the fact that I'm accident prone..... I've managed to cut myself before while picking up a hammer..... My ability to hurt myself knows no boundaries and/or laws of physics.....

I actually kind of agree with the person saying you need to pay more attention. If you picked up the hammer properly you wouldn't be cutting yourself at all. Claiming you are accident prone just makes it "ok" for you to not actually do things properly and pay enough attention when doing these things. I've been there before, turned myself around.
