Klutz Attacks

[Élistariel]

*Not your most embarrasing moments, there is another thread for that. This is for the "gracefulness" in us. I once had a webpage devoted to the "graceful" things I have done. I'll post them as a reply to this thread. I even earned the sarcatic nickname Grace. Anyone else 'graceful'. (clumsy)

[Élistariel]

1."Tarzan": When I was little, around 5, I tried to be Tarzan, and jump from the really cushy coush to the coffee table. I missed and skinned the heck out of my shins.

2."Skates": Someone was absent in Drama class, and I volunteered to take her place. Her part required rollerskates. Unfortunately for me they were 2 sizes too darn small, and I'm not the best skater. Also, the stage was made of uneven planks. During the stage practice, I fell on my butt 3 times, also the girl was literally half my size, she was tiny, and this guy was supposed to pick her up. Uh, that wasn't happening, even though he tried. (poor guy). Oh, and it was recorded, and we had to watch it the next day. Didn't help that I didn't know half the girl's lines, so they were all 'dubbed' by the teacher from off camera. :crazy:

3. "The Classic" : I was at my grandparents beachhouse waiting for someone to get there. Well there are sliding glass doors there. I heard them drive up, and was going to go outside to greet them, or so I thought. I walked right smack into the sliding glass door. Hey, at least I didn't run into it.

Last night, I was walking with some friends and I was stepping off the curb.. it was really dark so I couldn't see and I'm like the biggest klutz to begin with. My friend warned me that there was a front end of the boat like right in front of me or something. Like I said it was too dark to see, I thought I had stepped over it. Apparently I didn't cause not a second later I stepped on it with on foot which made me loose my balance and tripped on it with the other foot. Thankfully my friend was still right beside me so he could catch me:D I thought he was gonna die laughing though. :rolleyes:

[Flaire-FireStar]

Well.....Between falling UP stairs & almost tripping down the stairs at school, tripping over my pant legs, mats, and just about everything else on the floor..... Hmmm...getting my foot stuck between our front door, getting my coat stuck in the car door... I think that's pretty graceful of me. :rotfl:

[MammaStar]

Let's see, I've walked into a parking meter. STONE COLD SOBER MIND YOU!!

Last summer, I think there is a thread somewhere about it, I TRIPPED going down my best friend's porch steps messed up my ankle, shin & knee pretty bad.

My mother calls me "Charming & Graceful"

That pretty much sums it up about me. :)

[Rubi Waters]

I'm called the bull in my family (bull in a china shop). I trip over my own feet. if anything is near me I'll either trip over it or run into it. Put it this way I can't walk more than 4 feet without something happening. :bigredgri

Ah! my missing long-lost twin! :D my mom and dad call me "bull in a china shop" too lol. I trip, flail, skip, hop, wobble, and usually manage to catch my balence again - but I look like an idiot doing so! About the only time I seem to be graceful is when I'm angry or I'm drunk. -_- figures. The rest of the time, I'm a Klutz.

4. "The Niiice": It was the first day of our 8th grade beach trip. I was just walking along the broken-up sidewalk in my flipflops, and I just fell. I skinned my knees, elbows, hands. I had this nasty green, stuff that kept peeling off of me, and they burned. I had a scar on my elbow for a while too. Still creeped out by the green crud. *yick*
5. "Slam" : I was still half asleep, and instead of opening my bedroom door, genius me slams it in my own face. Ouch.
6. "So Much for the Door" : I forget how it started, but it ended up with my friend chasing me down the hall, and I ran full speed into the hall door and knocked out the plexiglass. What happened was I fell down, and the plexiglass hit me in the head.

[Gwion]

I majored in Theater Arts

[Thistle]

Yeah, I've earned the nickname Grace. I fell upstairs once. Another time, I fell downstairs. Missed the first step, and somersalted all the way down. Got a concussion and hurt my back that time. I've managed to kick myself in the shin (don't ask me how), and I'm always tripping over my own feet. Usually, I catch my balance after flailing around. Slammed my thumb in the car door one time, too. Ow-ie! Guess I have to own my essential klutz-ness. :bigredgri

[Old Witch]

I've never been attacked by a Klutz...............:eek:

[Laiste]

I for sure am a major klutz!! When I was a child I used to spin around pretending I was a ballerina and would almost always end up on my bum!! LOL Nowadays I tend to still end up on my but (last time it happened I ended up on my face) I do these awsome slides down hallways and such..wish someone would catch one on video so I can submit it to Funiest home videos and get that million dollar prize!!:eyebrow:

[Élistariel]

sliding across floors is fun. I can't do that here, I live in an apartment. I do that during the winter at my grandparents house. Thick socks rule. I'd start out in the hall, and slide all the way from the kitchen to the dining room and slam into the heater or computer table. I didn't like that heater too much.
Also, when I lived in Florida, our hall had carpeting, and my cousin and I would run, then slam down on our knees and slide across the carpet. Why we never got rugburn is beyond me. :confused:

I can top this. When I was about 6 years old I was spending the night at the girls house my mom usually babysat. The girl was three years older than me, and thought it would be royally fun to scare the living daylights out of me. I doubt she figured she would actually, literally, accomplish this goal.

We were out in the back yard at her swing set, which was probably about 100 feet from the back door, and up a slight incline. They lived in a not so build up neighborhood, so behind the fence of their yard was just open space until reaching a line of trees about 200 yards away. She decided to tell me that at twilight, a pack of wolves would come out of the trees and chase whomever was still outside, so it was really important to get in the house before this happened. Twilight came and she started taunting me about the wolves. At the height of her story she was screaming that she could see them coming out of the trees and we needed to run as fast as we could to get into the house in time.

So, I ran like there was no tomorrow. Since she didn't stop with one scream about the wolves, I was also looking over my shoulder (obviously too young to equate fact I wasn't seeing any wolves with fabrication of story) while I made this frantic dash to the house. I didn't run into the sliding glass door, mind you. I missed that completely. What I ran into at full speed was the side of the house, and knocked myself out cold!!! Her parents had quite an interesting time attempting to explain to my parents how this exactly happened.

[Saphra]

I'm the biggest clutz, I can trip over a crack that isn't even there, of course, after swinging my arms to regain balance, I casually act like nothing happened..... :)
I was walking up the stairs from my friends apartment, and somehow thought there was another stair, took the step and ended up flat on my face..... Another time, I was running down the stairs, hit the bottom, and had to much equilibrium built up, and ended up flat on my face again (this time, in the middle of a really busy hall when I was still in high school)
I run into walls, trip over my own feet, and have even hit my self in the head with a pool que (ended up with a concusion from that one!!!) My mom dubbed me Grace.... as in Grace, Poise, and Confidence......

[Jeleia]

Don't get me started ....

[Jeleia]

Grade 9....

In a new High school....

I just got new high heel shoes for X-mas.....

I'm very short, so naturally I was excited about gaining another inch or so....

Anyways it was right before french and my girlfriend and Iwere walking to class, we passed a bunch of older guys who were gathered around a locker, thats when I tripped over my own feet and fell. I don't know where my hands were, but they as hell didn't catch me when I went down. I landed flat on the floor.


And then there was the time I feel down a crowded staircase...but thats another story :)

[Élistariel]

7. "Pool Deck" : My grandparents were building a pool deck. Well I had on my flops. Pop (grandpa) asked me to go get something. Of course, instead of being smart, and going under the deck to get it. We hadn't laid down the boards you walk on. So I decided I would balance-beam walk on one of the planks, that was on its side, eh I didn't even make it halfway, didn't sit for a while either. The real funny part is that my cousin was there, and he laughed at me, then the next day or two later, he fell off the deck.
8. "Wet Socks" : This one was PURE genius. I was still in grade school, maybe 7-9. And I got this great idea to balance beam walk the poarch railing. Oh yeah, while wearing my thick socks, after it had rained. I ended up in an azalea bush.
9. "Ice Capades" : My personal favorite. I was outside in the front yard waiting for my cousin to pick me up for school (not 16 then), and I had this HUGE urge to just, run. So I did, I ran up the little cement covered hill thingy that leads to two storage buildings. It didnt' dawn on me that the huge shiny thing was ice, and I ran right on it. Both legs shot out from under me (right first), and I fell flat on my butt and slid, literally 5 feet. (3-6). Then I tried to get up and fell down again. I was laughing to hard to make a decent effort by then. I scooted to the only thing in site, and aluminum trash can. I had to hug it to get up, then I had to baby step off the ice. Needless to say my cousin thought I was nuts when he finally arrived. My grandmother saw too, but she only saw me laughing at myself, and thought I had gone insane.

[Storm]

Red in face just thinking about this.

7th grade. I was late for class. I ran up the stairs and almost up the first flight before the middle landing I tripped. Didn't fall but kept tripping up the stairs. I landed on the landing still tripping..this kid rounds the corner almost bumps into me and I am STILL tripping trying to catch my balance while keeping hold of my books and he goes"woo, are you okay?" but then I crashed into the wall but still didn't fall and tripped foreward..he just freaked out and ran away...well as I tripped forward I finally completely lost my balance and went crashing down into the next flight of stairs up. It was like trip up stairs trip trip trip landing trip trip wall trip trip trip fall into next stairs. So I tripped about 7-10 times before I actually gave up and fell down. I couldn't go on. I had to sit down and laugh and cry all by myself for a few minutes before I could get up and walk into class.

Then when I was 16, in my bikini, in the middle of a park full of 4th of July partiers, was struting my stuff and running along thinking I was all that and fell into a ditch. I told my sister to go get a blanket and cover me up.

[Old Witch]

I don't mean to laugh, but..........:T

[Sowelu]

This reminds me of something that happened long ago (I laugh as I type this)
Have you ever done something embarrassing, and even though no one was around to witness it, you still feel VERY embarrassed???
I did....
My family was living in Yucaipa California at the time, and my room was un-attatched from the house about 12 steps away from the back door/porch.
I was excited about something, can't remember what...but I was hopping jumping and skipping from my room to the house back door.....
well....
when I got to the covered back porch I hopped just a little too high and hit a wooden beam above my head....HARD....and landed flat on my back. I laid there for a second or two....got up...and sort of scurried into the house, knowing no one saw, but feeling like the whole neighborhood was watching....LOL

[Phoenix Blue]

You never know when someone is watching, though. I remember I once saw my mom sneeze her dentures right out of her mouth. She didn't think at the time that anyone had witnessed the accident. . . :p

[Élistariel]

10. "Bad Kitty" I was coming in the door to my grandparents' house. My cat ALWAYS tries to run out the door every chance he gets, so I always have to stick out a foot to hold him back. Well this time my foot caught a little too much kitty and I tripped over him and hit my head on the coat rack. (not the pole type, the half-dresser kind)
11. "Stairs" My grandmother has this weird habit of using the bottom part of the upstairs staircase as a storage space. Well this one time I was trying to get back down, and couldn't. I wasn't smart enough at the time to just bend down and move the stuff. I couldn't step around the stuff. Anyhow, I decided to just climb over the railing. I was only a few steps from the bottom. I got over, but I also pulled the railing apart. Those spikety things from the part you hold onto. I don't know the words for them.
12. "3 Bookbags" this one was another drama incident. My friend an I were playing tag in the classroom, before the teacher got in. Well, I was running between a row of chairs, and tripped over 3 bookbags all at once, and fell flat on my face. Better yet, the teacher had came in and saw the whole thing.

[Sequoia]

ohh, I just pulled off a most talented one! I stubbed my toe and heel at the same time: on my way to get up from the computer desk, taking a step, I kicked my heel with my toe. Hard. And tripped, did a little dance, and stumbled into the bathroom. -_-; graceful. . . graceful. . .

[qidrogreevat]

Heh, this brings back baaaaaad memories.

1. I once walked into a pole I was pretending to walk into. I was acting 'funny' (at least, I thought I was acting funny) and I walked up to a pole in the middle of a crowded walkway and pretended to walk into it, for the benefit of my friends. of course, there were two wet patches on either side of the pole, so I literally zoomed into it, legs apart, breaking some very valuable bits (I'm a guy).

2. I was sitting in a crowded classroom talking with a friend. He said something dumb, and I literally shouted 'Di*khead!', about 2 seconds after the entire classroom had fallen entirely silent. The reason, was because the principal had just entered the room.

3. I was on a bike, and I was acting cool in front of a girl. I somehow managed to stop the bike entirely, rip my toenail off, and slide forward until I landed on the metal bar, you know, the one you DON'T want to land on. The girl couldn't stop laughing.

Just a few of the many, many embarassing things I have done.

[Rose Sunny Rionach]

Me and my best freind went to a skating rink.. The place was crowded. We had been doing pretty good for our first time. But, one time we were skating really close talking about this hott guy that was in front of us. Well, some little kid (about 9) came up behind us and pushed us. We slid into one another and were slipping and slidding all over eachother. Shes about to fall down and shes planning on dragging me down with her and I'm doing everything I can to support both of us. And then I try dragging her down. Neither one of us falls down but the guy is about to fall over laughing. After we get situated the little kid comes up to us and just grins and says loud enough for everyone to hear "I Love it when girls do that!" We just stood there and gawked.

Then another time (my second time) I went alone. I was having a very bad weekend and being alone didn't help. So I start skating kinda fast and doing twirls. I love spinning. Well, while I'm going fast I end up hitting a major rut (the roller thingy that makes the ice all smooth hadn't been on for a while) and I did a 360 and BAAM I fall chin first. Busted up my chin pretty bad. Can still feel where I messed it up.

[Élistariel]

13. "BREAKS!!!" This was before I could drive, and I was at Celebration Station for my cousin's bday. Well he decided we should go on the go-carts. I agreed, even though the only thing I had ever driven at the time was a lawn mower. But I did know the basics, gas, breaks, steering. You could imagine my joy when half way through the course, I discovered my breaks didn't work. I pushed one pedal, went faster, pused the other, went even faster. JOY! To make it even better I somehow managed to go the wrong way once, and then there were 2 carts stuck together, like a v-shape at their noses, and I sorta, uh, 'helped' them get unstuck. Yes much whistle-blowing was heard. And when it came time to park them in a line, the best I could do was take my feet off the pedals and hope I didn't give the person in front of me whiplash. Needless to say, I haven't been in a go-cart since.
14. "Ring* Ring* Wheee!" I was gettingmy jewelry for school, and my phone rang. I have to answer it before the third ring or the machine picks up and I have this horrid echo. Well I got up to run to the phone, and ended up stepping on my chairmat, in socks. I ended up with a sore butt and a message.
15. "Chimes" My grandparents have those huge doorchimes, the kind with like 5 metal rod thingys that bang together for a clock in another room. People are constantly running into them because they hang on a wall in a hall. (stupid rhyme not intended). Well I did all my relatives ones better. I just tripped, over nothing, and in the process of trying to reach for something and regain my balance, I yanked out 3 chimes and ripped off the box that held them up. Then while laughing my rear end off, had to ask my grandfather to help me put them back up before my grandmother saw. I could get them back in, I was laughing so hard.

[Amethyst Rose]

I am the worst klutz. I don't think a day goes by without my hurting myself.
For example, today (keep in mind I've only been awake for 3 hours), I have already managed to wack my elbow on the corner of the counter, and wack my shin on the corner of the coffee table.
Classic "Heather's", as we call them, include my jumping off of a swing in mid flight (you know, like kids do), and breaking my leg in two places..... walking into a room and catcing my baby toe on the corner of the wall, and breaking it, kicking a chair and breaking another toe, attempt to spank my dog, but he moves, and I hit the floor, dislocating my finger
I haven't done anything really stupid funny though, like running into windows or the sides of buildings :) At least, none that I can remember.

[Dellit Tandannon]

my friend walked into a glass door head first and shattered it.

[Élistariel]

1. Once, when I was at the beach, I was maybe, around 8 or 9. My grandmother's boss came with us, and his kids too. I was friends with his daughter, who was maybe a year older than me. Well at one point her older brother started chasing her around the house for some reason. She makes a beeline for the sliding glass door, gets a few inches from it, then goes around the coffee table. Her brother, not so good, he slammed into the door, and literally bounced off of it with a *ba-dum*
2. My friend (diff) and I were going to go into my basement, where all my videos are. Short story even shorter: She was only a few steps away from me one minute, then the next, sprawled out at the bottom of the steps.Simple as that. I was like, "What the ____ just happened?" It was hard for me to call my grandmother for a little help, I was laughing so hard. Not that I'm a sadist, I'm not. I didn't find it funny at all that my friend was hurt, she only bruised her back. What was funny was the fact that she was there one second, the next...
3. My cat was having one of his wild fits, and missed the turn into the hall, and slammed into the wall. (crap that rhymed)
4. My cat was sitting in a paper bag, from Northern Reflections, I believe. We took 2 pics of him. Then about 2 minutes later, he was running through the house with one of the bag handles around his neck, and the blag flopping along behind him.

[Amemphis]

My episodes aren't quite as funny as my boyfriend from fourth grade. His name was Sean.
We had broken up earlier in the year, after two years of prepubesant(sp?) relationship. Our classeswere going to the beach for a field trip, and he was trying hard to be nonchalant an show off. After a day of tryng to flirt without me catching on, we were walking off the beach, him walking backwards to talk to me. Well he ended up triping over a beach chair, landing on a women in a bikini sunbathing, and losing his shorts in the process. *Giggle*
The second thing was funnier. Our two teachers were obsessed with volleyball and every afternoon we played for an hour as physical education. Since we were both really good they put us on opposite teams all the time. He was wearing mirrored sunglasses and assumed I couldn't tell he was staring across the court at me. Well, I was watching the ball, so I saw when the ball land smack on the top of his head, bouncing off and embarrassing the crap out of him. Bwahaha!

[Gryphlette]

Ok lets see.. the lstest thing I did, I droped a glass fuit cup on one of my friends' feet. And this past june I did somthing really gracefull.. Ok I 've been jumoing off swings for the past what ten years and I never hurt my self.. well the one day I had somthing big going on guess wht happens... yep I jumped off this swing, miss juged my landing by about a half an inch, and eneded up fracturing my ankle. nice huh (: I've also dropped atleast twenty glass bowls and platters in less than eight years. real nice huh.

[shnen]

on sunday I gave myself a black eye by cleaning the ice off my car.. it got stuck on the antenna and it whipped back and hit me in the middle corner of my eye, jsut where your nose it... it hurt bad, and was soo embarrassing...
