Clumsiness and accidents

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

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.

  • Ow that must have hurt. It's always the unexpected moments that stick with us tho right.

    I've had a lot of accidents. One where I got a brand new phone and dropped it within minutes or getting it out the box, it landed hard on the tiled kitchen floor and cracked the screen all over; nearly £1,000 blown bc of my inability to be careful. Massive sense of humour failure at the time.

    A more fun accident was after I decorated my room; stood there admiring my paint and then yawned and leaned against the wall leaving a hand print against the new paint. I couldn't help but laugh silly afterwards when I realised what I had just done.

    And lastly a more recent accident was when I got the milk in and tripped over my cat and dropped the crate. Milk and glass everywhere. I had the difficult task of stopping my cat from drinking the milk and cutting itself and not cutting my feet on the glass. 

    I should be used to these mishaps as I've been like this 19 yrs yet I'm always initially surprised when they occur.
