walkin into things

pbreak · #1 (**permalink**) Dec 20, 03

I swear i have excellent co-ordition and such, but no matter what i do i just can't stop hitting/walking into/smaking inanimate objects and injuring myself... especially with my shoulders when walkin around stuff. When i was younger i rode my bike into a parked car (although i did have my eyes shut at the time) and even walked straight into a telephone poll once, gave myself a black eye. I swear i'm not a clutz - i'm pretty sure my body is a gravity well and attracts matter more than other people... yah, that's it.

I could only dream that that was the problem because then at least I would have a solution, not that I would ever use the solution - but alas, i don't think there is any hope for one as 'challenged' as i am... one day im going to walk into something really hot/explosive/reactive/hard/fast moving and that will be the end of pbreak.

I guess we are both doomed to commit walkinto-a-cide... sigh.

Yeah lately the wallas have been attacking me non stop. Always getting hit in the shoulder. Damned walls. That and my coffee table are just wantin to kill me.

Tell me about it!
I took dance lessons for 8 years. I'm supposed to be graceful!
The day my body is bruise-free, I will jump for joy (and probably hit my head)

^dood. that's happened 2x times too many,not cool

once, just like that, thank god it wasn't the front.
and second...the fuckin thing shmucked me with the right side mirror. going from 0 mp/h to flying forward doesn't fall under the cherished memory category.

ugh I'm the BIGGEST clutz ever

I have countless bruises from walking into tables, racks, walls, doors, etc at work

but here's the kicker

I was climbing up the bag wall (you read that right), I was too lazy to get the ladder. So, I'm at the very top shelf (9 bunkers up) when I fall, and scrape my back on the metal corner of a table on the way down. This was in July.......I have a four-inch long scar down my back, it ain't never going away.... :soak:

This happens to me all the time.

Most recently, I walked into a wall face-first at full force because my apartment at the time was very dark. The force of the blow was so bad, I had a concussion..

when I had to explain this to my boss, instead of being sympathetic, he just laughed and laughed.

The concussion thing really sucks, i've had one before and it's no fun - however... you must admit that the way you got this concussion is pretty damn funny.

One time I bent over to pick something up in the laundry room and basically knocked myself out as the corner of the dryer met my temple - knocked me on my ass and i was seeing stars for 10 minutes - seriously lacking in the latteral depth perception department.

To add to the chronicals of klutzhood..

my hungover ass fully got me walking arm-first into my bathroom doorknob this morning, I've now got a doorknob sized bruise on my arm (really, I bruise like a peach!)

you know what they say- you are what you walk into :soak:

You know how at Off the Wall there are the really high jeanwalls? Well basically at Richmond we use our extra jeanwall space to store bags.......I was up there grabbing one for a customer and OOPS!

"F'n'Ker dies while attempting to free climb bag wall at local mall - pg. A5"

or even worse:

"F'n'Ker gets laughed at while falling from bag wall at local mall - pg. A19"

- not a headline you want to be a part of :hehe:

sweet~kandy · #22 (**permalink**) Dec 26, 03

LOL I believe when I was little at school, I was playing in the forest with my friends and I wasnt looking where I was going and I walked into a tree. HAHAHA that was funny, I started crying but to think about it now makes me laugh.

Oh and I hate when I stub my toe, OUCH that hurts..

~*faeryfly*~ · #23 (**permalink**) Dec 26, 03

I hear you all, just the other day I was seating some peeps at my work & walked pretty much dead on into the wall...while they were following me...That was a very embaressing moment, & now i'm bruised..oweee!

pbreak · #24 (**permalink**) Dec 26, 03

umm yah... at some friends of the family christmas eve, first thing i do is walk in the room and go to sit down on a chair that wasn't there! I actually almost saved it, but alas still ended up on my ass... it's alright though, only everybody noticed and laughed

and hey galaxie, earlier that same day i was in Richmond Center and checked out the infamous bag wall - you really shouldn't try climbing that thing, seriously!
