Total Klutz Moments

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]Okay so in the St. Patrick's day thread I was going on about the dumb things my brother has done and sharing them with people I don't really know. So now I figure that I should start a thread to show case klutzy moments. Either your own or ones from your friends and family members. Because why shouldn't you share your loved ones emberassments with people who don't know them?

A few boring ones of mine include falling up the steps to the stage in drama club. We were practicing for [B]Inherit the Wind[/B] when the towns people are doing.... ugh something I can't remember. Either way I was supposed to get on stage and instead I just fell up the stairs.

There's also the fact that this one horse where I ride I can not dismount him bareback without falling on my butt. I don't know why because he's not a tall horse, only about fifteen hands. But every time I go to dismount him bareback I fall on my butt. I don't know if that's being a klutz or just horrid balance.

So share some of yours and then the next time i post I'll share some from other people. Or maybe they'll be mine, but I'll just blame them on other people.[/color][/size][/font]

Ah, my best friend, she is a klutz!:animesigh She's always walking into walls, doors, tripping over nothing and dropping pencils and whatnot.

I, on the other hand, am an ALMOST klutz. I get into situations where I have the potential to be klutzy, but manage to skirt around them! For example, almost every day, I walk into the science room when someone else is leaving it. I almost run headfirst into them, but manage to spin out of the way, around them, and into the science room! YAY ME!:animesmil

How does that work? I have large hands so would it be 12-13 for me?

Smart remarks aside I have a horser story when I was younger. My cousin had a black horse (not sure what kind) that we'd all take turns riding. Well when it came mine, somehow somebody loosened (I'm sure not on purpose) the saddle up.

So I'm riding along, my uncle walking the horse when the saddle starts slipping. I abandon ship halfway down and end up faceplanting....

Needless to say that was my last horse riding experience, not so much because I'd be afraid to ride. But they sold the horse a year or so later and I'm to unintereseted to find another to ride.

That's a very amusing image in my mind...:animesmil I have a couple horse riding experiences that I'll probably add later since I'm to exhausted right now.

[OMNOMNOMALY]

[FONT="Garamond"]I have a bizarre reflex issue with my hands. For whatever reason, I just cannot for the life of me, be trusted to hold on to ANYTHING. I throw things. Pens, my phone, random stuff I'm holding. I think I'm broken DDD; It looks stupid, it is stupid and it's almost beyond klutzy.

Other events would include falling off the stage during lunch in Jr. High when we ate in the gym, in front of all the older kids. Not so traumatizing now but really embarrassing at the time. Tripping up/down various stairs in High School, always when they were full and people were in a rush, and one occurrence during a soccer practice (which was unfortunately caught on tape) where we were going our agility exercises and I tripped over my own foot and flew a couple feet sideways and onto my ***. Congrats, me. I'm a champ. And don't you err' forget it.

[color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]A hand is an equine measurement. Each hand equals four inches and a horse is measured from it's hoof to the withers (shoulder) So fifteen hands equals sixty inches or five feet. There now you've learned something new.

Okay back to the subject at hand... no pun intended. Today I had a day off from work so I took my daughter to the Strong Museum. While I was in the coat room hanging up our jackets the metal hanger I was holding slipped up and popped me in the lip. It hurt for a while.

I've also managed to twist my ankle playing DDR in Las Vegas and had to limp back to my room. Yeah I'm a klutz and a very painful one at that.[/color][/font][/size]

I thought 15 hands with my hands would've made for a tall horse. Thank you chibi I feel much more edumacated now.

Also, what exactally is the Strong Museum? A museum in a place called strong? Or some sort've weight lifting museum? Genuinely curious, though I'll admit that was a smart alleckie way of asking.

Learned the hard way about DDR myself in tech school....so many goats..

[COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"][SIZE="1"]So my roommate & I have our beds next to each other, lofted over our desks, & normally there's like a 6 inch gap or so in between our beds because they don't come all the way together, but last night, they were probably 10+ inches apart because her bed moved for some reason.

Anyway, I dropped my stuffed lion CJ through the gap, accidentally, & it landed on the floor.
See, I have a system though, so that I don't have to get down from my bed to pick it up. I pretty much like, prop myself to the bed with my feet so that I can pick it up... our beds are close enough so that I can support myself without falling through.

So last night I started to do that... but because the beds were so far apart, instead of being able to support myself, I took a nosedive off the bed
& onto a chair.

So basically,
I was headfirst on the chair just like "well, *******".
& my roommate was on her bed laughing her head off.
The end!

Goats? What, were you drunk, on acid, or both?!:o

I, personally, have never had the misfortune of being subjected to DDR. I was always smart enough to avoid the trend.:animesmil Now then, klutziness... I was a little wobbly today (Don't ask, I don't know why.). So I was bumping into people and things every now and again. It got annoying after a while.:animeangr

[color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]I forget the exact origins of measuring horses by hands, but there is some reasoning behind that.

Oh yeah the Strong Museum is short for the [B]Strong National Museum of Play[/B] (google it, you know you want to!). They've all sorts of toys and things to do there. It's named after Magaret Woodbury Strong some rich lady who donated a lot of toys there and money.

As for DDR, I've been slowly getting better since I've been going to the museum since you can play for free there. But I try not to play at home since my mat moves every which way.

Hmm any more relative klutzyness? Well my boyfriend managed to wash his passport in the laundry the last time he was down here. We found that out because he'd called me at work (when work was an elderly person's house not an assisted living community) and said that he couldn't find his passport in his hotel room so I told him I'd help him look then on my way to his hotel I called my dad to tell him that my boyfriend had lost his passport. My dad wanted to know what it looked like so I said: Like the US one, only it says Canadian stuff on it. So as I'm getting off my exit my dad calls and says he found Lee's passport, it was in the pocket of his jeans. Oh well at least those Canadian passports are durable. And they let him out of my country back to his. And yes, he knows that I tell people this.[/color][/font][/size]

With my disability, being a klutz is a given. Seeing as I do not walk the same as most everyone else, I am very prone to falling and tripping. Thanks to several years of snowboarding, inline and skateboarding, I am not as bad as I used to be when I was younger. My knees are scarred up though. I just call them battle wounds ^_^;;

[ChibiHorsewoman]

[color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]According to my co-worker Shalisa I'm a Big to the 10th power (actually she said big like ten times so I started smacking her on the back) klutz. Friday right before lunch in the rush to get the drinks out I dumped an entire pitcher of lemonade on the floor.

Then there was the time I fell on the floor face first. What had happened there was a bell going off meaning one of the residents was hitting the door and one of my other co-workers (Ed) and I were coming in from outside and the ground was slippery. So I heard where the person was trying to get out and started running that way on the linolium and took like 3 running steps then went flying foreward. I hit my head and my left elbow and my left hip and Ed kept being like are you okay do you need to get sent out? I finally sat up and told him that the only reason I was still on the ground was b/c I was laughing too hard to get up. :animeswea

Yeah I'm pretty bad. IF we keep this thread up there will be more emberassing stories.[/color][/font][/size]

[Morgan-Chan]

You wanna talk embarrassing?


I run into doors, walls and whatnot and say: "Where did that door/window/wall come from!?"

Or that time I fell down the stairs going to my mom's car in the garage when she was taking me to middle school one day.


Note to self...watch that first step...it's a doozy... :animesigh

It's nice to know I'm not the only clumsy one! Although I suppose I should share too...

I was late to my daughter's assembly and running through the rain. I tried to take a quick right up to the auditorium and slipped. Suddenly I was horizontal thinking, this is going to suck. Then I landed hard- bottom half on the sidewalk (my thigh still hurts a year later on bad days although the X-rays are negative) and top half in a mud puddle. Fortunately, I had time to hit the bathroom for paper towels and to do the dry heaves into the sink because it hurt so bad... Even more fortunately, there was only one witness!! :animesmil

My brother has better stories though. When he was 5, it had just rained and we were cutting across a big field to the playground and my parents yelled "Don't run, you'll slip!" He replied "No I won't!" just before he face planted in the mud. As he stood up, his front side was brown and his back side was perfectly clean. His whining became very intense and angry crying when he realized we were all laughing uncontrollably. To cap off his humiliation, my mom wouldn't let him into the house all muddy so my dad hosed him off on the front lawn.

:laugh:
