in Chit-Chat
this morning my clumsiness got the best of me along with a cooler and heap of laundry! I was in the back room (on the phone with my car insurance) moving laundry around and tripped (ow btw) and fell against the bed and in the the pile of laundry. I wanted to laugh but couldnt because of the phone call but couldnt yell for my kids (who were at the baby gate with in seconds to check on me)that i was ok because i was on the phone my cat looked at me like i had lobsters coming out of my ears!

Surely im not the only one like this! share your story and make me feel better or laugh (its ok I did) and get a smile from me

    Mmm. not at all. I was going down steps the other day with slippers on, mind you they are clog type and I wear them often, and just slipped off one of the steps. Straight down on my butt. Hurt a little but nothing serious. And I trip UP the stairs failry often. This is what comes to mind. I am a huge klutz.

    My husband is always making fun of me because I stub my toe or run into something painfully at least a couple times a day lol.

    I'm like "OOUCH!" and he's like get over it, you do it all the time, should be used to it.

    A couple of years ago I had climbed up on a table to clean the ceiling fan (we had 12 foot ceilings). I lost my balance and fell over...ending up breaking my elbow and cracking a few ribs.

    I'm no longer permitted to dance on the tables! :laugh:

    Was taking a shower accidently hit power shower and whole thing fell off wall knocking me out for only a second, I fell out the shower and hit the floor. Unfortunately my house-mate who came and rescued me was a little shocked!!!!

    Only little while ago I fell out my car, still not sure how, but I ended up head first in pencil skirt, as I was trying to pull my dignity together the door shut on my head! No one came to help me, but as I was walking away I saw a guy trying not to look sitting in his car!

    My friend says i'm the clumsiest person she knows! :sad:

    I'm continually bumping my elbows on door frames or stubbing my toes on ANYTHING or pulling doors closed over my toes. I wear steel toed shoes at work for a very good reason. I once stubbed my toe so hard on a piece of furniture that i broke my toe. Yeah. My husband doesn't understand how I can do this all the time. Like I'm trying, or something.

    I went for a job interview 2 years ago . It was held in a clear glass window office. When I was finished I didn't realize that the office door was still closed. Sure enough I banged head first into it and the interviewer Laughed his head off! Needless to say I was so embarrassed but I got the job.

    Soooooooo...we got free cookies from Quill one day. You know, the red tin with about four different kinds of cookies in it? Well, I love the oatmeal ones. Someone went to open the tin this one day and I tried to push off of my desk in my chair to roll over to the cookies before she could get one. (Sick, I know.) Well, I pushed off the desk, all right, like I've done a THOUSAND times. Unfortunately, the chair didn't decide to come with me this day. So, I went flying across the room and ended up on the floor. For cookies. Free cookies. Sad. It's office folklore now.

    My first day at the new gym -- I got tangled up in the headphones cord from my iphone, it fell down to the treadmill, I stepped on it just the right way, and went flying across the room. I couldn't do it again if I TRIED.

    But this is my life. Full of grace. lol

    I have other talents.

    We had some guys logging on our property. I was on the riding mower when one of the guys came up to ask me a question, as I stopped the mower and got up I banged my head on a huge heavy metal bird feeder, then two minutes later I went to tell him something and tripped, fell, and rolled down the hill. I have to give the guy credit for not laughing...I could tell he was holding it in!

    Your def not alone!! I think I am the clutziest person there is! I have broken just about every bone there is to break multiple times. I think the most recent one was a few weeks back playing tennis with my fiance I swung the racket so hard I ended up wacking myself in the head. Or last week, cleaning the top of the cabinet in the bathroom and completely walked off the chair i was standing on and fell into the bathtub. :-) I have many more stories but they all have the same ending...me falling in the most funny way possible and then laughing for hours.

    Oh boy! You sound like me. People should bet on me at the office; odds are i'm gonna run into something at some point during the day. I've walked into the wall numerous times (WTH?), tripped over chairs, and almost fell head first into the reception desk as I was walking into the office - I have no idea. I also trip on smooth surfaces. It's like a horribly down-graded *kitten* movie.

    People give me a wide berth these days.

    One time I was following my husband down stairs in our house took one step and was free falling after that. I wasn't hurt but I swear I saw my husbands life pass before his eyes as he saw me flying at him at Mach speed. I caught myself so he was spared. LOL.

    I always have unexplained bruises. I'll wake up in the morning an be like WTH? Eventually I remember that I walked into something - likely after I've walked into that very same thing again the next day. :)
