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.

    One I can think of was on New Year's Eve, unboxed these rather lovely wine glasses and took the utmost care and time doing it so they didn't break. I poured some wine into my glass and as I was walking back to the front room I dropped it. Don't ask me how! It rolled across the carpet, hitting the leg of the coffee table, and then breaking.

    Not the first, nor the last time my clumsy nature cost me like that.

    You reminded me of a story from years ago.

    I was at a friend's house and she walked into the doorway from the kitchen with a plate of garlic bread, which she dropped on the floor.

    I jumped up to help her and knocked over my glass of red wine.

    Her husband just looked at us both in despair.

    I have a NYE story too.

    I hadn't had much to drink but I fell down a staircase at an Indian restaurant and bashed my head on a wall.

    I had a huge bruise on my head and the waiters kept bring me out ice for it.

    In the end our taxi didn't turn up (around 1am) and the waiters (owners) drove us home, bless them.

    I think I was a little concussed actually.

    I bet your friends husband was like "What did I just witness?" Lol. I hate that when loads of things get dropped at once. I've had it before where I dropped a glass and then got another one and dropped that as well. I remember my daughter at the time giggling behind me and I told her "It's not funny young lady". Lol. Laughing

    Ouch, that must have been so painful! Nice of the waiters to keep bringing you ice for your head though. I'm saddened to think that not many places in the UK would be as caring if it happened here. So nice of them to drive you back home too. I'm sorry that happened to you but I'm glad you were looked after so well.
