Share a story about an emabarrassing fall you've had! Or just an embarrassingly clumsy moment you've had.

I trip over stuff all the time, but I rarely ever hit the ground, at least.

In the Spring, I went to a movie with my sister. I was going up the stairs to where we were going to sit, caught my toe, and went tumbling up the stairs. My sister didn't even pause, yelled, "You all right?" over her shoulder, and kept going. Luckily, there weren't many people in the theater. I definitely got a good laugh at myself.

I almost fell over a few times in rehearsal today. I was just wobbly and clumsy this morning for some reason. The kids don't laugh at me too much, at least. They know I'm challenged like that.

I don't have any good falling-over stories, but I ran into a glass door when I was 10 and bruised my nose pretty good. The guy that I sorta liked saw it - luckily, he didn't laugh - and I was mortified.

One time at Key Club convention, I was talking on a cell phone and walked right into a metal bar in front of a bus full of kids. I just kept talking and walking, so no one said anything since I played it off so well. Oi.

At work a few years ago, I was sitting at my desk in my rolly chair. The printer was behind me, so I rolled back to get my papers off the printer. Well, when I rolled back, I rolled off the plastic thingy on the floor. So when I tried to roll back to my desk the wheels caught the edge of the plastic and I feel on the floor. Luckily, I had my own office at the time so nobody saw me. But the chair broke Sad

In high school, we had marching band practice in the parking lot every morning. One morning my senior year we were rehearsing. Well I was at a point where I had to march kind of backwards, and the drum major blew his whistle and everyone stopped, except me because I didn't hear the whistle. I stepped on the person behind me and fell on the concrete in front of our 100+ band, sheesh it was embarrassing.

In the spring, DH and I were getting ready to go mountain biking. I was walking my bike to the back of the truck, tripped over a crack in the driveway and completely fell down.

Geez, I wish I were more graceful!

My Senior year I was at an award ceremony. It was for the Lone Star academic award. It wasn't really all that awesome since my whole class got the award also. Anyways....we had to go up on the stage to take a picture. Of course I was the first one walking down the stairs. While I walking down the superintendent was trying to shake my hand. I turned to try to shake his hand and then I tripped and fell down the stairs (actually skidded down since I was trying to keep my legs closed because I was wearing a dress).

It was probably the most embarassing thing ever to happen to me. The Assitant Superintendent told me that if I were to handle life with as grace I as handled that then I would go far. I know she was trying to be really nice but it sure didn't help my pride very much. What's worse was my parents were trying to find someone who possibly videotaped it so they could watch it over and over again.

A few months back I was at a seminar. I was wearing new sandals (heels) and a cute little dress. I found it difficult to carry my notes, books, and purse and was wobbly. As I walk down the (empty) hallway I trip and scream very loudly. I look around in relief that no one sees and continue on. I walk into conference room and lecturer stops, looks at me and smiles. Once I sit down a classmate leans over and says, "Are you okay? We all heard you scream." I am so embarrassed I can only nod.

When I was a student at UCO I was going down the stairs in front of the bookstore in the University Center. I had just started down the second flight with a to go cup from lunch in one hand and somehow my feet went out from under me (It was wintertime and there was salt/sand on the steps from everyone's shoes.) and I literally ROLLED head over feet down the entire flight of stairs. A poor woman had just started up them and I almost knocked her over.

They heard all of the noise in the bursar's office and came out to make sure I was OK. They insisted they call an ambulance. I wouldn't let them take me to the hospital because nothing was really hurt. I was just pretty bruised and REALLY embarrassed. I didn't have a car and lived in the family/graduate apartments, so the campus police officer who came insisted on driving me home. I stayed at home for about 20 minutes since I'd already missed half of the class I was going to, then walked to my next class.

Ok- in college, I went to a bonfire with about 20 friends. Of course, everyone was drinking and, as we were in the middle of the woods, you had to pee outside. My girlfriend and I wondered off a ways to go to the bathroom.

You know how when you pee outside (how redneck am I for just making that statement?) you kind of have to squat down and use one hand to make sure you don't pee on your clothes and then put the other down behind you on the ground to kind of stabilize yourself?

Well what I didn't know was that we had actually wondered off to the edge of this really big hill. So, I got my pants down and out of the way and leaned back on the other hand into absolutely nothing. I went tumbling down the hill with my pants around my ankles. My girlfriend said she could hear me yelling her name and it just getting quieter and quieter as I rolled farther and farther away.

I'm not exaggerating to say that I landed at least 75 feet below where I began. With one shoe on.

Of course, my drunkard friends all thought this was hilareous (and it is, really, since I wasn't hurt), so they all got flashlights out of their cars and mounted a search party for the missing sandle. We never found it, but the loss of shoe was definitely worth the fun of the evening.

This summer I was in NYC for work stuff. I was with my husband and the person directly below me and her husband. Keeping in mind, the person below me was all about acting appropriate because she was "with her boss" but I totally do not have class and did not care. So, we all went to this martini bar and her husband and I ordered these crazy martinis. Keeping in mind, I may be a drunk, but I am also a lightweight and had already had two glasses of wine and four beers. To say that I ended up completely intoxicated from this martini is an understatement. Anyway, we were walking back to our hotel and I wanted to peer into the window of this store and BAM - I guess the glass was much closer to my face than I thought and I totally hit my face SO HARD. In fact - and I sh!t you not - my nose STILL hurts. After that, the girl I went with loosened up a bit and whenever she felt like her husband was getting too wild he would say "Um, your boss just broke her nose on an obvious window, she is so drunk. Get over it."

And to finish my drunken story, it hurt SO BAD when I hit my nose that I decided I needed another drink to get over the pain. Keeping mind, it was already midnight. Five hours and $400 later, I crawled into bed. And spent the rest of the next day running in and out of my meetings throwing up.

Who says Oklahoma girls can't party?

Well, just now I answered the door to let the apartment manager in, and I flung out my hand in a jolly, wildly overcompensating "COME ON IN!" sort of way, and stuffed my hand into the cactus we have sitting next to the front door.

Okay, so now I have another one. Luckily, no one saw me. And also, it seems that several people had similar experiences last night at the concert. I blame the auditorium ghost.

I was coming down the stairs on the side of the stage (out of sight from the audience) in the dark to see if people were still coming in or not, because we wanted to start the show. The combination of old, slick steps, slick-bottomed flats, and my poor vision in the dark led to me sliding down what I thought was the last step (2 more left) and going "thud thud thud" down the steps. However, I simply landed in a sitting position. I somehow managed to lean back as my feet went forward so I just sat down lol.

A parents said she fell in front of people Poor thing. She's one of my favorites so I was sure to let her know that I had fallen, too. I student fell on the same steps I did!

this made me seriously laugh out loud! I can just picture that in my mine. Glad you were okay though Smile
