Clutzy Moments

Today I was walking (trying to anyway) and my hand swung back and then into the corner of a very hard wall, well at least my (front of) finger did (happened to be the middle) and I thought I broke it because I couldn't move it at first, now it is just Black and Blue and swollen.....So I was just looking at it and thinking of how interesting it would be to hear of everyone's clutzy moments, now don't be shy because I have a ton and will share more

Today I got a pedicure and was noticing a nasty red scar/bruise on my knee... from November. I tripped and fell off a curb and landed under my bf's truck and couldn't get up. Classy as is my usual way - haha. Badly sprained ankle and scraped/bruised my knee. Tore my new jeans. I was sober.

lol.....a drunken moment for me was a party at my neighbors last summer and beer pong madness combined with water being dumped on people so I jumped up and ran towards my friend jumping or attempting to into her arms and she did try to catch me she fell back I fell foward next thing I know I had people screaming my name and saying Oh no someone call 911 and then I opened my eyes fully...needless to say I had smashed my head on a big tree root or rock and black out for a few minutes, apparently my eyes were fluttering and they rolled back

I was chipping ice this winter and I raised the ice chipper up and slammed it down really hard...into my toe. The nail still hasn't grown back but I paint a fake nail on for my sandals, lol.

Just last week (or possibly the week before - I have a bad memory) I hit my head on a pole that was holding up a sign *everyone* was looking at me before it happened and I was so embarassed

Most recently would have been in Playa last November. On the giant sand bags in front of Playacar. They are great fun to play around on. (one) in particular, is slicker than snot. I however did not notice this as I walked onto it, drinks in hand. I started to slide... And remained upright but stranded right in the middle. By now everyone on the beach, and my wife and daughter sitting on another sand whale were watching. I took (one small step) and in the next instant my feet were above my head in the air. I came down flat on my back and smacked my head. I could hear the collective crowd on the beach behind gasp! Then laugh. Nothing funnier than watching someone get a concuncusion! I LUCKILY did not have one but I stayed WAY away from the sand whales the rest of the day.

I don't even know where the cups went! I think they landed on Cozumel.

My whole life I've been careening from one klutzy incident to another.

I went to a going away happy hour for an executive at United Health Group. I had never got along with this person very well but they were a big client of mine at Arthur Andersen so I attended. It was just a couple others, the exec, and me at first - we were expecting another 30 people or so (go figure that I was one of the first at the bar). I ordered a pint of beer and had it sitting in front of - I then was telling a story and gestured with my hands, only to spill the entire pint of beer all over the exec's pants, mostly in the crotch. I frantically helped them dry off the best they could and then went and sat by myself at the other end of the long table we had reserved.

Dizzy, you kill me with your "balls ahead attitude." For klutzy? I can't keep count.
