I mean I was just drinking my drink out of a can, but the hole was way round the other side and not near my mouth at all, so when I tipped it back to take a drink, the whole thing just emptied down my front.

Now, some ppl will get embarrased and run to clean it up before anyone notices.

I am the type to yeah get embarrased maybe, but show ppl, and point out how clumsy I am, laugh and THEN go and clean it up.. just to save embarrasment ppl pointing it out to me, without me openly making out I know it has happened?

Are you a hider or a show-er off-er?

I always like to tell people because I think it's hilarious for some reason.

People usually can't help but notice when I do something clumsy

...And sometimes actually have to point it out to me

...Like the time I walked round town in a new pair of pants with the price proudly displayed on a large sticker on my arse









Also forgot to mention my lousy spelling edit...edit

I would, that's if I ever did anything stupid, which I don't.

thats the 2nd time the can has spilled.. its like a fucking ladies wet tee shirt comp over here.. but without the audience, judges, cameras and pervs..

I totally point it out to people and laugh. I mean, damn, that's life. Gotta laugh.

I go slow, so I don't do stoopid or clumsy stuff.

So that means there is a chance you do (clumsy things) slowly?

Hell ya I point it out and laugh loudly... I love when odd things happen even if its to me....

And often I'll come post a thread about it if it's a really good one. Like the time my dog pulled me down the bus stairs in front of the cute guy I was talking to. Or the time I dropped one of those huge cooler bottles of water and work and it exploded all over the kitchen (and ME) and dripped through the floor and into the parking garage. . . that was good. Pretty sure those things both got threads.

Its the best way!

Maybe when I was younger at school, I would be mortified, esp if anyone saw me and stuff.. but I think those were the uncomfortable times, when we all felt uncomfortable with ourselves growing up and stuff, so we would point out anyones mistakes to make ourselves look bigger

I learned at an early age there is nothing to gain from this, neither to ridicule one to gain respect, so I became somewhat of a clown in the classroom, so I could shun my embarrasments, yet also gain ppls respects.. either from making ppl aware that yes, accidents happen and it ok - dont cry - but alos to put a smile on friends faces when even the bad things may happen to you. and as they knoweingly knew I was intelligent and carried alot of repect, they gave me that respect back

It makes a person.. it colours them in the brightest most beautiful colours.


Hell I have heard great funny stories and damned embarrasing ones..

but they make that person REAL.. so we can identify with them without feeling embarrased about our mishaps.

I almost always tell my manfriend. Someone has to get some enjoyment out of the fucktard things I do. And it makes me feel better if we can both get a good chuckle out of it.

I prefer the video over the pic.

I always tell people when I do something really stupid. Making fun of myself is the best.

My life is an open book.

I used to try and hide it but now I don't anymore. It's much more fun laughing about it.

I love to say it, and have fun of myself. With others that know me well, it's even better, and with people I don't know, it's the better way for them to know me. And for me to know them : some don't only see the nutshell...

LOL I've found from past experience that it is far less embarrasing and whole lot more funnier when you show everyone your mishap ...at work i tend to drop product accidently when i'm cleaning, causing a hazardous bodyoil spill on the white tiling on the floor!! One of the girlz at Elizabeth Arden right near me even told a customer that i was a clutz i'm like yes I am...i won't deny it. Lil'miss butter fingerz- that is me!! People will assume i'm far more graceful till all of a sudden i trip over or drop something or make a mess of myself with food or drink when i eat something like rice it kinda goes everywhere...i like to warn people that i have eating mannerisms of a 4 year old at timez- nothing much has changed Fun timez though

Bodyoil?

kidelrich said:

Yup! Body Firming Solution to be exact!

I post it on the org!

No, ususally the crash or thud is loud enough for someone to see immediately what just befell me.

Hell yeah !!! Why not??

I call all of my friends and tell them because it's funny.

I tell people, but usually because I have to! It's not cool to make a big deal out of it once people have noticed it, you just look like youre taking yourself far too seriously.

When I was over in Belfast I had breakfast with colleagues and walked all the wat to the office before someone pointed out I had my t shirt on inside out

They took my picture so I couldnt help but laugh it off and tell everyone!

JDINTERACTIVE said:

I gotta admit, I do that too.

"Dude, you're never gonna guess what I just did!"

hahah

I encourage all kinds of hilarity at my expense.

Absolutely, I never take myself that seriously to not tell plus it's usually so funny I have to tell somebody.
