Car accident

Slammed my car into a curb thingy that defines the end of a parking space. I remember once I drove OVER one of those. My car must be crying.

First day of my accident journal.

I was carrying groceries up the stairs, and talking to my friend on the phone at the same time. "ahhhhhh!!!!!" my friend heard over the phone, "what did you do again?"

I was 1 inch away from banging into the wall.

My left feet step on my pants of my right leg. I lost my balance. The weight of the groceries propelled me towards a wall on my right as I tried to lift my right leg up.

I really need to thank god that I have a great reflex. This time the grocery bags banged into the wall but I saved myself in time. Another lucky thing was that I didn't buy any eggs!! Woohoo!

Last time I almost fell off the same stairs. The grocery was to blame too. There were 8 bags of them, 3 two liters of pop in the bags (because I was into Bartending then). As I labourously climbed to the last set of stairs, I felt my balance was shifting to my back. Imagine. In slow motion, the weight of the grocery is pulling you towards the back and if you fall... It's not gonna be pretty. If I attempt to shift my balance to the front by suddenly swing the groceries towards the front I would definately fall (try it with a set of barely lifetable dumbells).
I struggled for 3-4 seconds or so. It felt like an eternity! If you recall from my previous post. Stairs = broken bone. Nooooooo!!!!!! I thought.
I did successfuly climb to the top of the stairs in one piece.
But really, when I was safely there, I felt like I should be thanking everything I could think of. Broken bone, lying in a bunch of groceries, probably covered by some broken eggs and spilled milk...help!! Yek! I think I should even thank YOU!

How it all started

I bet you have heard or seen someone walked into an unopened door, ran across a rainy street and trip over in the very middle of it, tried to drink a glass of fine red wine but aim at the white dress instead....

Or, maybe you have done all of the above yourself.

If you feel you are a complete retard after putting on some clumsy show, you are not alone.

If you find these clumsy moments hilarious, then you should read on...

I have the most obscure accidents even my most clumsy friends have never heard. I don't recall when it all started (maybe it was the time I had a concussion when I tried to do a bike trick). What I know is that I would be suprised if I go by a day without some sort of accidents. Luckily I am by no means lack of athletic reflex so I only broken a bone once when I was chasing my dad down the stairs (blacked out, and woke up with a turtle shell on my back - I broke my shoulder). Most of my accidents are minor, but the cause of them are...let's say, I really want to find out why myself.

I often think I can write a whole book of clumsy accidents. My friends agree. Actually my friends have quite some good laughs watching and hearing my stunts. I thought you might have some good laugh too.

Let's start by quoting what my boyfriend said to me when I curiously insisted to tour his renovation, "I think you better not come to my place when it's at this condition. There are tools and stuff lying everywhere. I think you will not survive through the doorway"

Hmmm... I can't disagree.
