Above: Specially padded lamp post to protect twits from cracking their skulls open (LOL)
James of Bristol, England became the laughing stock of the office after he got a black eye while using Twitter on the go.
James' story illustrates tidily what so many people hate about the microblogging service [especially me]: Narcissistically documenting one's life all too often interferes with leading said life.
In James' case, reality literally smacked him on the head. He was jogging to work and tweeting on his BlackBerry when he cracked his skull against a low-hanging branch.
"One minute I was running along posting a tweet, the next I was lying on my back on the pavement in agony. The branch came out of nowhere and hit me in the face."
James suffered what the Telegraph newspaper calls Britain's first "twinjury."
[Watch out for lamp posts! Not all of them have padding.]
