Well that was graceful.
I just tipped over in my desk chair. I leaned too far back and over I went. And I swear I am not even drunk. Ouch.

8. Yes I was watching diving at the time
I am nowhere near as graceful as they are.

3. LOL. I once tripped over the open file cabinet at my desk
and I was heading towards slamming my head on the couch armrest, I was pretty sure that no one downstairs would hear my cries for help.

5. I once did a faceplant from a stool
At a wedding. :blush:

I hooked my heels over the rail on the stool, leaned forward to get my drink and went face-first into the dance floor. :rofl:

Someone somewhere must have a photo.

6. i walked into a glass partition while at a wedding
At UC Davis' alumni center, they have these big panes of glass scattered about ostensible as art. they had these *little* stickers on them, which i did see (about 10 mm before impact) :eyes:

sounded like a bell when i hit.

7. I did the same thing at a school
in front of maybe 30 kids that thought it was pretty entertaining.
