Bumping into things

Post Reply New Topic

one of my legs is a full inch longer than the other, same for one of my arms. when god had me on the production line, i was at the end so i was constructed out of all the irregular cast-off parts left-over, with a few missing.

When God gave out brains
i thought he said trains,
and i missed mine.

when God gave out looks,
i thought he said books,
and i didnt want any.

when God gave out Noses,
i thought he said roses,
and i asked for a big red one.

when God gave out legs.
i thought he said kegs,
and i ordered two fat ones

when God gave out ears,
i thought he said beers
and i ordered two long ones.

when God gave out chins
i thought he said gins,
and i ordered a double

when God gave out heads,
i thought he said beds,
and i asked for a soft one
Gee, am I a mess!!

I don't bump into things much any more. I'm definitely prone to it, and it used to happen a lot, but I've got a lot of control over my environment these days, and to some extend I've trained myself not to make sudden movements without looking around, so I start things rather slowly and deliberately, I keep gangways nice and clear, and I keep away from obstacle courses. I'm particularly aware of the risk of accidents when I'm talking with people. I've seen lots of people get caught in the same trap, they get into conversation and then all they can see is the person they're talking to. I dislike holding a conversation with somebody I'm walking alongside because I'm aware that I can't really do both effectively, so I drop the small talk and focus on my walking, which makes me feel like I'm coming over as shy and aloof, but the alternative is probably worse.

Ack...our household is a clumsy one. my daughter has gotten better about it...but for years, she was running into stuff/falling down/bumping into me lots of times every day. I had to ask finally that family members not send us anything breakable as gifts....because first of all, so much gets broken, and second of all, it it hugely upsetting when someone's gift is broken. Gadgets get broken to. Dropped, run into...etc. My daughter loves technology, but things are always breaking because it sometimes seems like everything she touches breaks.

I'm clumsy as well...but she definitely takes the cake...and probably drops it and then falls on top of it.

Add me to the clumsy club. I've sprained my ankles more often than you can imagine, once while sitting in a chair. I can't walk in a straight line. Fall down the stairs constantly (actually fell down my new stairs last night). Bumping into things happens every day. I've given up on running as I trip over my own feet.

My desk in my room: Hey bro, those are nice, undamaged shins... Me: *slams shins into desk at high speed* WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?

All the time. I also manage to stumble over my own feet. Mind you, my daughter is just as clumsy as I am and she's NT, so I don't know, maybe it's just something that runs in the family anyway.

On a related subject, I don't seem to know where my mouth is. I'm frequently dribbling food and drink on my clothes.

I do that sometimes too.

Another thing I didn't think to post yet is that I almost never drink out of a glass unless I'm at the kitchen table. I usually drink out of a water bottle with a cover. It's not just to keep dust and bugs out. I've had way too many glasses get spilled and sometimes broken.

This is why I don't want to do things like ride a bike or anything else that requires balance or coordination. It's pretty much guaranteed that I'll get hurt.

Once I turned my wrist to look at my watch and forgot I was holding a full glass.

I remember when I was younger walking around something on the floor and still tripping over it. I tend to knock myself on things a lot. The worse thing for it is in toilet cubicles as I always seem to knock the walls, the seat or other things sticking out. I walked into a car door the other week, very bad bruise and used to knock myself on tables.
It hadn't even occurred to me but came up in my assessment-and I quite often get bruises.

I had a nasty bloody fifth toe because I bumped it on a table leg once a couple of weeks ago. I wouldn't mind that, but it made my toe numb and painful. What's worse, any subsequent strikes with it and I would've sprained it worse as it happened to me. For the first time in ten years I limped horribly. I even had to walk with a cane but thankfully I could now run again without it. The fifth toe is still causing me a bit of pain, though.

I do that too. I seem to simply miss my mouth sometimes.

Almost all of the above, plus,
anyone here get the ApeRage and
cock back and punch what just hit you?

I slammed the table leg with a hammer
because it hit me, my gorilla growled
and busted the table leg.

I punched the door frame because it
hit me.

Lesser, a smaller hit will make me simply
knock something, if the door knob hits me
but not hard, I just reach over and knock it
or just cuss at it.

Any of these?

i keep getting food and drink down my airpipe instead of my foodpipe. COUGH!! !

Yes, I do, I have bruises all over me that I don't always remember the origin of.......
When I am pregnant, though, it gets funny. There is no way I can move around without knocking anything over, throwing glasses off tables with my belly, or knock chairs over with my enlarged hips. Makes me think: have to buy glasses, I'm down to 2 ....... so clumsy...

I always tell myself "I'm not clumsy!", but the reality is that I am. Haha. I just walked into the door frame earlier today with both of my parents watching. I frequently misjudge distances and run into things. It's funny, assuming I don't actually get hurt. Oh, and I definitely find bruises and small cuts and things that I have no recollection of. It can be very disconcerting at times.
