Not me, but my friend.
My friend Elliot's a metal-head, and after a huge gig one day, he tripped over a curb on the way home and cut his elbow open.
On the monday in school, someone who thought it wqas uncool to be a Metal-head started spreading rumors that he was an idiot who cut it open while moshing.
This just got him respect from everyone who heard it, even non-metals, cause they thought it was so freaking cool how he'd been moshing, had cut his elbow open, but still carried on as normal
I don't think he every told anyone at his school the truth
