i tripped going up the stairs this morning at work. both my knees are swollen and i can barely walk :mad: at least i can laugh at the fact that i had to take the elevator all day at work today, unless i had 15 minutes to spare to walk down a flight of stairs . i hope it'll be better in the morning...i really don't want to go to the hospital.

anyone else as bad as me? i don't want to be the only one who feels so ridiculous.
yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I tend to do everything half arsed. So everytime i am doing a good deed for someone, gennerally something bad happens, Like i will get someone a drink and spill it on the carpet. Or my favourite cooking a bbq for Mum and we have a really nice blind to stop the glare coming on the verandah, and u might of guessed it, I burnt it down :)

    I'm the biggest clutz you will ever meet. Always tripping or spilling water on myself. Walls have a way of running into me too a lot. :mad: I don't even notice it anymore and random bruises just appear! I have a bruise the size of a golf ball on my leg right now and I have no idea how it got there!

    Your incident sounds painful. One time after a party my friend and I were walking down cement stairs and I just went "plop" and fell down...I bruised my tail bone and couldn't walk properly for 2 weeks...now THAT was embarrassing :o

    I'm a klutz too...I just keep telling myself its ok because it builds character :D

    my right knee has been taking a beating lately I've wiped out in the ice and smashed and/or twisted it twice and I ran into a trailer hitch today at work...I also tried to Pete Townsend my guitar and tore my thumbnail off....:(


    BUT

    We will all be fine, us clumsy people need to stick together...and try not to accidentally kill each other while doing so

    hooray...i glad i'm not the only one :D

    it was just a awful start to possibly the most important day of work...inventory! and me being in charge of everything and having to hobble between 2 floors was madness. i blame it all on the fact that i hadn't yet had coffee...'cause starbucks isn't open at 4am!

    i can't wait for the bruises...that should be interesting.
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    well, actually I felt like I belonged when I read this thread. But then I asked my guy if I was, and he said no you have great coordination and that I can throw a football like a guy....so now....I just dont know where I belong. I am a mix between a clumsy and somewhat elegant. I might just be klutzo-coordinated.

    but only in the most artistic way. :rolleyes:

    I am SO clumsy. The other day I had to stand on the bus and I wasn't paying attention and it lurched ahead and I almost knocked two other ladies over :eek:

    Jen, I cracked my tail bone this summer. Way to impress a guy, hey? :o

    Yeah, you would've laughed for sure if you saw me go "plop." Even my coworkers teased me for days because of the way I walked.

    haha the bruise...well, yeah, like I said, sometimes big bruises just appear on me.

    "like walking thru the train station n on the street"

    Hmmm...really don't know what that means.

    but you said train station N in the street...I just didn't know what that term meant (since you Aussies use such strange phrases sometimes).

    That's the one thing I don't like about California is you have to drive most places. But when I lived in Seattle I didn't own a car and walked everywhere (in the rain) or bussed it.

    I never really rode the trains until I lived in Europe...they aren't as widely used here and aren't nearly as nice as say the ICE train.

    go for it!
    i worked there part time for 2 years while i was teaching. EVERYone broke stuff, they expect it. the BEST was when the store manager knocked into a HUGE display of glassware, knocked it over, and almost all broke. :p


    i AM a bit of a klutz. i have my moments of grace and elegance ;)....but sure, tend to knock things over. my husband always made fun of the fact that almost all my retail gis were in houseware stores such as crate, b/c he considers me a cyclone. :D
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Haha, just earlier today a girl was hugging me and decided to start tickling me also. And of course knowing my luck, my twitching caused my shoulder to go rather forcefully into her chin. I felt like a jackass.... what a buzzkill. :D

    ouch...at least you didn't knock her teeth out or something crazy. i'm sure she won't hold it against you too much ;) i've learned not to tickle people, though it's the first thing i want to do once i find out that they're ticklish :)
