Took my shower. Reached for curtain to pull aside to get out of shower.

Beleaguered "brace-up" rod gives way, finally. Ooookay. I am standing, starkers, dripping, in the bathtub, and the shower curtain rod comes straight down.

Thank you, whatever part of the universe decided this physics demonstration did NOT involve bruised flesh. The end of the curtain rod landed between the big toe and its neighbor, on my left foot, at such an angle that the smaller toe was hit (so that I could feel it), but not hard, because the curtain-rod hit the bathtub surface simultaneously or even a little before. Bathtub is a lot harder than my toe, it is welcome to absorb the force.

Curtain rod back up, self dry, just wanted to eep about that, going to bed now. Before anything else falls. :)

I had that happen a few years ago, sans the foot-hitting bit. I just touched the curtain to open it and the damn thing fell down.
