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.

  • I do everything at 3/4 speed. I bang plates on cupboard edges. I look at the ground for slippy spots when I should be admiring the view. I don't have dyspraxia on the level that some people do, but definately a mild form of it, so I do things a bit more slowly. I HAVE TO wear slippers because I would kick my toes several times a day. My slippers save me much pain - you can guarantee if I don't put them on, I will stub my toe.
