Accident-prone

[Twincam16]

Is anyone else generally accident-prone on here at all? I don't know why, but I seem to walk straight into silly mistakes (and walls, windows, staircases etc) without noticing, with alarming regularity. Falling off pavements without warning seems to be my party piece, but today, I excelled myself.

Just in the kitchen, putting a chicken on a roasting dish, I had no idea how powerful the magnet on the little digital egg timer was, as it must've shot across the worktop out of my line of sight and attached itself to the bottom of the dish like a limpet mine.

As a result, tonight I had Coq au Plastique et Electronique. Tasted a bit...rubbery. And the kitchen now smells like a tyre yard.

Anyone else find themselves walking into little accidents that literally no-one else could have?

When I was between the age of 14 and 20 Y.O. I broke 6 bones (4 all at one time) and had to be sown up twice. Luckily I have grown out of those kinds of accidents!

Not good to be accident prone in my line of business.

I can just envisage that comedy show where the DIY man keeps cutting off his fingers and stuff.

Got a mate who seems totally unable to drive - yet he rarely has accidents involving other drivers (thank god!)

He is now 24 and since he passed his test at 17 he has written off 16 cars!!! - his insurance on a 2.0 cavalier at 21 was £3000 TPF&T!!!!!
