Clumsiness and accidents

Debbie

This thread is dedicated to SpikeyMark who recently recounted the distressing episode of the ginger bread people massacre (with equally distressing photos).

Photos are in the thread below (if you can bear to look)

What accidents have you had that might be worth recounting?

I've had about 2 million, but one I remember well was buying a glass lampshade and walking out of the shop and bashing it straight into a lampost - I'd broken it within about a minute of leaving the shop.

  • Joan, I hope you're not implying that SpikeyMark had intentionally set out to massacre the gingerbread people. Wink

    Off the top of my head, one thing I can recall is walking straight into a lamp post when I was a teenager, despite knowing it was there. In my defence, I had been walking at a brisk pace because I thought I was going to miss the school bus. However, there was something I had wanted to check inside my school bag. Instead of doing the sensible thing and stopping, I carried on walking... and then smacked my head off the lamp post. Both the lamp post and I were fine, although I did feel like an absolute idiot.
