Mom breaks foot after attempting astonishingly stupid TikTok challenge: ‘I’ve definitely learned my lesson’

Some people need a break from TikTok.

A mom sheepishly admitted she broke her foot after attempting a stupid TikTok challenge.

Klaire Cave, 40, and her cousin Gemma Stephens, 29, were on vacation in Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria, on Saturday, March 1, for Stephens’ birthday celebration, when Cave decided to record a video following a trend she had seen online.

After hanging out at a few bars, the women returned to their hotel room when Cave decided to replicate the #droppingthingsonmyfoot challenge, which is exactly as ridiculous as it sounds.

In the videos, people drop increasingly heavy items on their feet from waist height and rate the pain.

“Honestly, I don’t even know what went through my mind, but I think it’s just because I’d seen so many on TikTok and I thought ‘I’ll give that one a try as well’,” Cave told Kennedy News.

“I’ve tried a few dance ones and drinking ones and things, but this one seemed different, so I thought I’d give it a go.”

The tipsy mother-of-two began by dropping a spoon, which she rated 1/10 on the pain scale, and a door stop, which she rated 2/10.

After gaining some confidence, she eventually dropped the hotel’s standing fan and a full suitcase, which she rated 8/10 and 10/10 — one of which she believed broke her foot.

This sounds more like guy behavior, but alcohol brings its dangers.

The internet is full of crazy stuff people do. It is hard to tell what's real and what's fake but it does provide entertainment.

I’m currently involved in a “watching paint dry” challenge. It’s day 215, and counting.

When am I allowed to stop? Maybe when the paint is dry. I really should have checked the rules first.
