The dangers of shoe shopping

When I was standing in the shower yesterday and shampooing my hair I suddenly felt a sore bump the size of a quarter. It took me a while to go through the previous hours of the day in my head, trying to figure out what may have caused this tiny injury. Suddenly I remembered the little incident the day before when I was fighting my way through a shoe sale (-70% in a really small store, accidents are bound to happen) Well, what happend was that I was looking at a pair of heels at a shelf positioned about half a meter from the floor, I bent down to look at them and on my way back up I forgot that there was another shelf over this one and I banged my head in one of the sharp and hard corner edges.

Of course there's a lesson to be learnt here: Shopping for shoes IS a dangerous hobby and a helmet should always be the minimum standard equipment when elbowing through a sale. On sales with a 50% discount or more full body armor is recommended.
