  • Cause of Injury - lack of adhesive ducks

    So I fell in the shower tonight. It pretty much totally sucked. The good news is I'm not paralyzed nor did I break anything. I have a feeling I'm going to be very sore and cranky tomorrow though. I landed on my right hip right on the edge of the tub. I'm really, really glad I didn't get hurt any worse. That could've totally fucked up my back. I'm still not very happy though. Hopefully I won't be too sore to walk. I really don't want to use up my sick time for this.

    At least you don't have a tattoo on your left buttock that says "soup" in Chinese.

          I was laughing before I even clicked on the thread.

          I fell in the shower shortly after I moved into my last apartment. We had one of those suction cup mats on the floor and it got bunched up and I was trying to straighten it. Luckily my knee hit the side of the tub before my head hit the wall or it might have been worse. As it was, I had a mild concussion and a colorful bruise on my knee. I was actually fine that day; it wasn't until the next day I really felt the head injury and ended up going home from work early, and staying home the following day. My supervisor made me call my parents and he talked to my dad because he didn't want to let me drive.

          A few months later we had to get our tub replaced because of a leak, and the new tub had a non-slip surface so we didn't need any adhesive ducks.

            I have adhesive squares, but I've never adhesive-... adhese- ... affixed them to the tub.

              I use a rubber mat ever since I fell in the shower once. I was ok but it scared the crap out of me, because I live alone. I'm not sure the cats would wait until I was dead before they started to eat me

                I did the splits exiting a hotel tub once. It was tough to sit for a while, never mind the lack of noctournal activites.

                      I have every season on DVD, and I've gotten at least three coworkers hooked on the show. Some were already fans. Once, Needy and I were leaving for lunch, singing Soft Kitty on our way to the back, and a random customer started singing along with us!

                          Hope you don't hurt too much! After one too many falls in the tub, even with bath mats, I bought a Gator Grip bathmat. I love it and in 5 years not a single slip, and its easy to clean.

                              Can't help myself. TBBT is the ONLY show in the history of Television that on a good day can carry the jock strap of Arrested Development.

                              Note - NO show is as good as Arrested Development (I cannot WAIT for May 4th, I will be listening to The Final Countdown nonstop for a week before that), but TBBT is easily in the argument for #2.
