One time there was a dog running loose as I was returning to my friends house after going to the coffee shop.
The dog came running right at me and I could hear the owner yelling at me to try and catch him. So of course I try, but stupidly, really stupidly. I happened to be carrying 2 cups of coffee in a carrier but instead of putting it down to try to grab the dog I tried to grab his collar with one hand as he dashed by.
He was bigger than I thought, running faster too. Bent my elbow back the wrong direction, unbelievably painful. Better, I didn't even stop the dog. I had no health insurance back then so I just sort of swung my arm backwards until the joint popped back into place. After a day or so I could barely move my arm.
Eventually it got better but I have pretty bad arthritis in my elbow now from it, so it's been like a 20 year injury
