I seem incapable of walking through a doorway without misjudging the distance and consequently bruising my shoulder against one side of it. Anyone else do this?

That happens to me quite often. My mom does it more than me, though.

Walking to door frames and walls is something I have done much in My Life. Misjudging is something I have done much when coming to door frames and walls.

I do that alot. I always think that I've cleared the door enough, but then my arm accidentally hits the doorframe. I keep meaning to have my depth perception checked, but I usually forget.

Quite a bit, at least once a day.
Only at home though when I'm relaxed.

I do it all the time. I think I've cleared the door, or the pole, or whatever object happens to be around, but I always end up hitting my arm or my hip or something. I'm covered in bruises as a result. ._.;

I used to do this this all the time, now I knock into large objects when they move position without me noticing it.

I had an "it would only happen to me" moment years ago when I went to the doctor's office with my mother. Their was an entrance made entirely of glass with metal framing. Thinking it was an open door, I tried walking in on the left side only to find out (the hard way) it was a veeery clean window. :oops:

Hey, me too! Except I ran full speed ahead into an entire WALL of plate glass floor-to-ceiling windows because I didn't realize they were windows. Ouch. I haven't done that since. :)

I'm way too clumsy... WAY too clumsy.

I trip over stairs, bump into walls, doors, everything else, and trip OFTEN.

Errgh.

Yup...I do all the time. At my dads house Ive often walked straight into walls instead of the door I was heading for. I hit arms and side on counter and door frames. I trip going upstairs or when stepping onto a curb. At work I often bang the fry basket on the vent above it or dump them in the oil, tottaly missing the place we put them. I have 20-20 vision, but I have pretty bad depth perception. Im also a clutz...and like to bump into stuff a lot lol. Have had many many stubbed toes (ouch!). Surpised I dont get hurt more often lol
