We all have that friend who just can't seem to get it together. They always seem to somehow have everything happen to them, no matter where you go. Unfortunately...I am SO that friend. Here are some fears that us clumsy people have in common:
1. Gravity
It. Is. Terrifying. It brings us down more quickly than an 8 a.m. does our GPA. One second, we are briskly walking with our squad..and the next we are lying on the cold, hard ground. Tragic.
2. Stairs
Up or down, moving or stationary it doesn't matter. They are all a threat. When you're clumsy, you lose all balance and sense of direction; and can usually perform the art of falling UP the stairs. Pretty talented.
3. White Clothing
No. no. nope. na-uh. clumsy people never never, never buy stark white ANYTHING..especially clothes. The first time we wear it, it's done for. It will have a stain from food, a pen, or literally anything else because messes are attracted to people like us. You stable people just don't understand and you can wear these super cute white clothes...and we are jealous.
4. Sports
"Do you play any sports?"...HAHAHAHA have you seen my hand-eye coordination? I couldn't kick myself if I had to, much less a ball. Gym was a hard time period for people like me, simply because we got injured...a lot. We usually love games, we are just really bad at them.
(P.S: So sorry to all of my teams that lost in dodgeball, soccer, basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball, etc..over the years)
5. Corners of seriously anything
If it's not padded, or in a safe zone, we have probably stubbed our toes on it. RIP to my pinkie toe..it's been through too much for one lifetime.
6. Anything that seems harmless to you, is a danger to us
It's so true.
7. Having to hold fragile items
You know like dishes, babies, small animals...drop-able stuff like that.
8. Cups without Lids
They are cause for disaster and should not exist. They only lead to trouble.
AND FINALLY,
9. Pretty much anything that isn't an open, empty space
If it's got stuff, we've got no control. Clumsy people can turn any situation into a dangerous one, and while we may not be the safest friend that you have, we're probably the most entertaining.
