Do you constantly fall down the stairs, trip over your own feet or spill a ridiculous amount of things in a given day? If you answered yes to any of the above this article is for you. Coordinated people do not fully understand the daily struggle we clumsy people go through on a daily basis. Not everyone can be as talented in the art of falling as the clumsy community. Here are a few things that we, the uncoordinated members of society, can identify with.
1. The combination of hardwood floors and socks are your Mount Everest
You can barely walk on the carpet, let alone wood. Add freshly mopped floors to the mix and you’ve got a deadly combo. Why does the world have to be so cruel? You’re just trying to keep your feet warm and get to the kitchen fridge but no you can’t do that without cracking your head open, we’re fine though, really.
2. You find bruises all over yourself and you have no idea how you got them
People are constantly asking if you’re okay or how you got so many bruises, but the truth is you have no idea. This is because you bump into so many things in a day that you stop realizing when and where you hurt yourself.
3. You trip so often that people you are close to stop acknowledging the fact that you almost eat it every two seconds
Your friends and family are so used to you falling that they don’t think it’s a big deal anymore. You trip and do idiotic things so often it has stopped registering in their brain and just becomes a part of your personality, and overall existence.
4. You find evidence of your past meals all over yourself
No matter what you eat it always makes it’s way onto your clothing. You can’t go one meal with a clean outfit. No matter how hard you try, or how many napkins you use, you just can’t seem to stay food free.
5. White is your worst nightmare
For the above reason, you dread wearing white. Food, dirt, drinks, they are all a danger to you and your clean, beautifully crisp white top, pants or dresses. If you must wear white remember to bring a tide to go stick, and a change of clothes. You know you’re going to spill on yourself or fall in the mud at some point while wearing your white outfit, it’s inevitable. Wearing white is your version of living on the edge.
6. People think you are drunker than you actually are
You constantly get disapproving looks when you stumble at the party or spill a little bit of your drink. It’s not because you are so intoxicated that you have lost all control of your body. No, it’s the fact that you had no control to begin with. You are completely challenged in the coordination department and alcohol doesn’t help. Those judgmental party goers can save their snide comments and whispers for the girl who is currently throwing up on the beer pong table.
7. Nothing seems to embarrass you anymore because you have had way more embarrassing moments than you can count
That flight of stairs in school, yeah you’ve gone down them. The cute boy you were talking to, yes you’ve spilled your drink on him. You have truly done it all, and have the scars to prove it. At times your life may be more difficult but, you are a member of the clumsy community and you’re not afraid to show it. Being an uncoordinated human makes you who you are, and you’re proud of that.
