man mistakes iron for phone

2012 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A polish man, Tomasz Paczkowsk mistook a hot iron he was using for a phone while he was watching boxing. He is 32 years old. After breakfast he turned on boxing, had a beer and and started ironing. He heard

the phone ring but put the iron to his ear instead. He also hurt his head when it struck a door frame when he was running for the bathroom.
