Backflip
Once we learn we can do a new skill, there’s no turning back. Whether that’s licking our elbows or doing a headstand, we’ll do anything it takes to show off our newfound talent. Usually, these tricks seem like good ideas but end up being disastrous.

This internet user tells us a story about his friend who wanted to show off his backflip in school. When he went to do a backflip when the teacher was gone, his leg ended up going straight through a wall and into the other side, into a classroom full of students taking an exam. There has to be one student that was grateful for the sudden distraction (via The Brainy Penny).
