Klutzes Unite!

If only my klutzy moments happened privately...
I went to a very large college and we had to ride university busses to get from one class to another.... Well, I can recall at least 3 times that I completely fell on my butt while trying to walk UP the bus steps... and these were on days when it wasn't even raining (so I didn't have the excuse that I slipped on water). Doesn't sound half as bad as stapling my finger....ouch! Hope your finger is OK now!

Hmmm, where do I begin? The family joke is "Mom didn't name me Grace!"

One memorable moment was when I tripped on the crack in the sidewalk and fell - in front of a brewery on a Saturday night. Oh, the brewery was on a busy expressway!

Oh gosh, big giant mega klutz right here. My mother says she sent me to ballet classes for 3 years so I'd get more graceful, but it didn't help. It's gotten to the point that I don't even like to wear high heels, because there's too big a chance of me falling over--trust me, I've done it, more than once. I also walk into things constantly, walls, tables, doors, you name it. On more than one occasion I have hit my forehead on the refrigerator bending over to look into it. I have also hit the back of my head on the refrigerator standing UP from bending over to look in. I often hit my nose on the windowpane looking out, and believe me, it's not because the windows are so clean. And I still have a mangled thumbnail from when I was 15 and I slammed a car door on my own hand.

I should walk around wrapped entirely in bubble wrap.

Try falling on the dance floor on a first date that JUST happens to be in front of your new boyfriend's MANAGER AND OWNER OF THE STORE! He and I knew each other from the country music club we danced in every Friday night. He had been bragging about how good we were and so they played a song we could dance to. I was wearing a new pair of pumps, normally I wore boots. Well, as we did an intricate turn, I caught the heel of 1 shoe in the side of the other shoe...and down I went. One shoe went flying across the room...his manager caught it. And my skirt was up around my waist.

He admitted later not knowing where to turn. Oh God, my manager. Oh God, my date is on the floor. Oh God, her shoe. We laughed about it later, but at the time it was mortifying!

talking about klutz, we just went to burger king and it snowed a heap! and guess what.. i fell on my butt!

I've got another:

Back when I first moved into this house, I had to go to a company Christmas the night I moved in. My mother took the kids and I got all decked out in a beautiful indigo blue velvet dress that fit kinda snug. Two of the guys I worked with came to pick me up and we met everyone else at a dinner cruise on the river boat. Well I had a little too much to drink and when the guys dropped me off at home, I realized that I could not get the dress off. The zipper ran from the top of my back down to my waist, and since the dress was so snug, (and velvet doesn't give) I couldn't get my arm up enough to reach the zipper. So here I was, home all alone, drunk, in a brand new house, boxes everywhere, and no phone hooked up to call somebody to help me. I danced around for at least half an hour trying to get that darn dress off until I was exhausted and decided that I would need to cut it off. But it was expensive and I didn't want to ruin it. So I kept trying. I finally managed to get an arm up through the neck hole and then turn the dress around enough so that I could reach the zipper and remove the dress.

Afterward, I realized that it was cold in the house so I went to turn on the heat. Well being unfamiliar with the house, I walked face first into a wall and fell backwards onto the floor holding my nose. I laid there for a while, dazed, and then got up and said, "To hell with the heat. To hell with everything. I'm going to bed!" And I climbed into bed with my underwear and stockings on and went to sleep! I figured I'd kill myself if I tried to do anything else that night!

The very next day as I was unpacking boxes and taking them outside, I walked into the glass storm door......face first and hit my nose again. Oh it was SOOOO sore from smashing into the wall the night before. It's lucky I didn't break it.

aw robbin you are so cute!

Oh great thread! ROTFL!

This is a great thread!!!! I needed a good laugh.

As I said in an earlier thread I'm an accident waiting to happen. I have to many embarassing moments to even pick one.

I'm enjoying but just laughing with you and not at you. I am a big klutz and always have been. It's nice to know I have company!

While I didn't injury myself painting I did fall on the ice Sunday morning and strained the muscles in the front of my neck!!! Plus my butt is sore!!

Ugh! me, too!
If something is sticking out, I'll run into it. If it's in a cup or jar, I'll spill it. if it's on a table, I'll knock it over instead of picking it up... etc, etc. very frustrating. I always say to my fiance.. "See? This is the kind of stupid crap that always happens to me!" I think that was after I spilled my dinner milk all over the floor. Or was it when I flung fettucini sauce all over myself, & the kitchen when I shook the jar with a loose lid?
It's strange, though, when I run it's the opposite. I had a high school teacher tell me he saw me running across the campus, & if I was a boy I would make one hell of a running back on the football team. Go figure..

Oh wait, I forgot..
Coming down the stairs wearing lingerie.. feeling like a TOTAL DORK to begin with, & slipping on the carpet, falling on my a$$. Haven't worn lingerie since.

Heh, I've got a funny one to add, from this morning.....I ate a couple of oatmeal cookies for breakfast with a glass of milk. No problem there, but picked the glass of milk up in my left hand, still about half full, started walking to the kitchen and stopped to pet Hef-cat....when I leaned over, I somehow knocked the glass of milk out of my hand, pouring it all over the carpet and the cat!

Klutz has struke again. I was throwing a stick for the neighbors dog and bumped my arm on the swing set that I was near. Nothing major just a scrape mark but still it hurt.
