The Killer Rug of Despair

[BeeMused]

I have also been known to trip while going up stairs. That's always fun.

Tripping upstairs runs in our family. My mom did that, only to grab the thighs of the man walking upstairs infront of her. My dad teased her about it for ages.
I managed to break my kneecap while tripping upstairs, just as I was on my way to buy new knee pads for inline skating. Gave the guys at the ER a good laugh.

I once tripped so bad that I tore one of my toenails completely off. Yeah there was a 'grate' there, the same one I have went over 50 million times without problems before, and about that many times over after...without problem.

Wanna know two great ways to impress your girlfriend and her parents?

1. On your way with her to meet her parents, do a 360 in your car on an icy street.

2. After having arrived at her parents, step out of your car, walk up the driveway--and slip and fall right on your ass and watch your shoe fly off your foot and bap right into her parents' car.

I took some good-natured ribbing about "are you sure you didn't have anything to drink at the restaurant?" I blamed it on wearing birkenstocks on an icy surface.

The following is brought to you by the guy who ran into a tree. Not on a bike or a skateboard, mind you. He ran. Into the tree. Explains a lot doesn't it? He got a severely bruised knee, a fractured thumb and a concussion from that one.

Hey, I've done something similar! When I was a kiddo, I was playing with a neighbor's dog. I was running across the street and for some reason looked back to see if the dog was still there, and when I turned back around....




I face-planted into a parked car Got a bob lip out of the deal, too.

I almost had a good digger last Saturday...we'd gotten a few inches of sugar snow (which we all know turns into glare ice after it's been driven/walked on enough) and I was walking up the sidewalk into the spa, and I almost went flying.

I fall down the stairs so often, it's not even funny anymore.

The last really good time, though, I had just bought a new pair of Vera Wang high heels and my bf and I went to the movies, and I always want to sit in the back, the way back.

After the movie, we were walking down the stairs.....not three steps down, and off I went.

Mr.Zel actually did pull a likely stunt the night I met him - he went towards my table but happened to slip on a puddle of beer and do what I normally call a "banana pogo" on the way.

He did compose himself and commented curtly: "Well, I kinda do that every time I *really* want to impress a girl"

We're still together 14 years later, so there must be something to it
