Crash!

Bang!

Wallop!


Are you accident-prone? Tell us your best mishaps and cock-ups (not like that Miguel ).


In the last week, I have managed to:


~ stand on a drawing pin, barefoot I was putting the washing out in the garden then 'Aaaaaargh!'

~ bang my head in the shower I dropped my shower gel and had to bend down to pick it up. Except I forgot about the metal soap dish on the wall and ended up scraping my head on it. Until yesterday, I had a line going down the middle of my head; it looked like I'd had a lobotomy.


Tell us, tell us!

No-one's ever had an accident???








Forget it!

aw noones talking to you honey

Im not really myself *touch wood* but one of my friends, Carly, is very accident prone In the 2 years Ive known her, shes:

pierced her foot while climbing over iron railings
broken her nose when she fell
broken her fingers punching a wall angry at someone
fractured her collarbone getting knocked over by a car

All while drunk

and Im sure Im forgetting some too! Shes great though, she just gets back up again. Nutter!

The accident I'm best remembered for by friends is when I was stepping to one side to let some woman with a double-buggy pass by and then slipped in some dog shit,
fell forward and nutted one of her kids in the forehead.
Still makes me laugh even now.

I neither make mistakes nor accidents. Everything is deliberate with me

Even when I "slip" off the side of the pool fully-clothed, I was in fact bored and looking to entertain those around me.

Thank you.

I think the one that's highlighted is the best... Did the person who made her angry see it?? That's calssic.

I'm not very accident-prone - I think - but I've been looking out for a piano or anvil to fall on me the last week.

Yeah it was her flatmate, he was there at the time! With the force she hit that wall with though, hes just glad it wasnt him! He was being a right little git

The child I nutted actually seemed okay, if a little stunned. It was the other child that started bawling.
Their Mum or childminder or whoever she was just laughed hysterically.

susannah said:

Send her my way when I need to duff someone up. (j/k)

Cloudbuster said:

Even if you'd scripted that, I'm sure it wouldn't have worked out the way it did...

The kid should have nutted you back.

Not long ago at work I dropped one of those huge cooler bottles of water.

This annoying intern told me it was empty and asked if I would change it. I was in the middle of something, so I told her yes, in just a few minutes. So she sits down a few feet away and stares at me.



So, I go to change it, and I had put lotion on my hands a few minutes prior, in addition to being in a hurry to get it done. So, yeah, I got it up to about chest high, and the mutherfucker slips out of my hands. Bottom breaks clean off, and the thing EXPLODES. My hair was dripping, my shirt was completely soaked, and the breakroom was totally flooded.

And naturally, I couldn't stop laughing. Totally awesome.

I know you don't mean that!




I know someone who actually got a disciplinary for sending that picture via email. What's the problem?

When I had to explain to my housemates why I'd been wailing like a banshee in the shower, it was difficult trying to say that line without sounding like I'd been involved in some prison rape or something.

Would've loved to have seen that. Pity the intern didn't slip in it.

Something similar - sort of - happened to me last year. I went to Brighton Pride with a load of mates and, before we left my mate's house, she was ADAMANT that - once we'd left - no-one was going back. Even if they were bursting for the loo or whatever, no-one was going back into her house. (There were a few of us staying at her's and I think she was a bit worried about someone losing her key). Fair enough. (I thought "If I have to go back, I'll sweet talk her into letting me" No chance).

We get down to where everything was going on and decide to have something to eat. Yum yum - I could do with a hotdog. So I waited in line, got my hot dog, sat down to eat it and the hot dog itself jumped out and covered my t-shirt and jeans in mustard/onion.

One of my mates goes to wash it off with a bottle of water - thinking it would clear it up - and the bloody top came off! I was drenched! So I'm standing there, covered in relish, onions and water. Very .

Normally, I would've gone back to my mate's house but, by this point, I thought "F... it!" and just carried on with the day. It was a true 'serenity now' moment.

No wonder I didn't pull.
