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

People will try to pop you all day if you go to work covered in bubble wrap.

You don't have to tell him. Your toes need to be taped together, not put in a boot.

you sound like me OP! everyone was saying I need to be wrapped in bubble wrap. so one day I did it! we all got a laugh out of it. sometimes you gotta roll with the punches! I hope your toes are alright and not broken!

Maybe when the next time you are at work and he sees you in pain he will back off with the remarks! I hope you take good care of yourself OP.

Clumsiness can be adorable. You just have to embrace it.

Dang op maybe you should try to tape a board on it an use it to your advantage. An get better I know how bad broken toes can mess up your walking!!

Everyone loves bubble wrap so he is actually saying that everyone loves you.

Let's just hope it isn't the new kind of bubble wrap that can't pop!

That you CAN'T pop? Please tell me you're joking!

Sadly, I'm not. The original bubble-wrap people developed a new non-pop bubble wrap. They are now using that instead of the pop kind. Luckily, bubble wrap isn't patented, so some small companies will still use the pop kind. I'm sorry for everybody's loss.
