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.

I’m waiting for the jump off a high cliff challenge.
Would AI be this foolish?
Moron.
Repeal XIX !
Oh well, back to Tide Pods?
Well, stupid should hurt.
This sounds more like guy behavior, but alcohol brings its dangers.
“Honestly, I don’t even know what went through my mind...”
I wouldn’t rule out narcotics.
When am I allowed to stop? Maybe when the paint is dry. I really should have checked the rules first.
We are a stupid shallow people....
Just a can of beans dropped on a bare toe is enough.
They do it down on grange-over-sands,
they do it in Waikiki.
thinking about tik-tok all day,
at night the feet are achy.
Take her kids away ffom her!
She’s gonna find out that breaking an ankle/ foot has loooooong term implications. Knees are up there too.
So moronic even a Cave girl can do it.

I did stupider things when I used to drink. But I also was 20. At 40, you would think, they should know better...then I saw it was a woman..oops did I say that out loud?
Only 150 more days...
