Category: Let's talk
There's heaps of posts on this site about how difficult and how much of an inconvenience it can be to be a VI person at times, but what about the funny stuff? All the little mishaps that we always giggle about in private, but wouldn't ever tell anyone. How's about the stairs that just jump up... or down for that matter. in front of you. done that, twice actually, and swimming pools have a habbit of showing up where you least expect them.
Sitting in someone's lap? Yes, When traveling to sydney to meet friends for the elecia keys concert. I have a sneaking suspician that secretly people love their personal space beeing invaded by strangers. Why else would 3 people let me sit on them with out saying anything? And all in the same train carage too! trust me guys, that's not the best way to find a seat. I wouldn't recommend it.
. Putting things in your mouth the wrong way round. I've done this with a cigarette. Ok I was pretty drunk, but the up side is it put me off for life.
Talking to people who aren't there. Uh huh, did you get all that MR brick wall?
Mistaking inanimate objects for people. I'm very polite, Not everyone apolagises to Clothing Maniquins and teligraph poles when they walk into them... no, just me.
Answering questions not meant for you. Yes, numerous times.
Jumping out of your skin when all the nice quiet person who frightened the hell out of you wants to know is if you'd like a cup of coffee. And my personal clasic, atatching yourself to the wrong wing. I did this in high school. New girl and all.
We were going from science to the Home Economic department. 2 classes, so aproximatly 60 14 year olds scrabbling for school bags book packs, and in my case, my friend Sandra's arm. Well I found an arm at least. Wasn't till I arived at the Home Ec department and Casper said goodbye and thanked me for letting him walk me to class, that I realised that Sandra was walking behind us. Oh yes, she thought it was very amusing, and So did Casper thankfully. To this day I can't remember what I had been rattling on about all the way to class, probably a good thing, cause at least if it was incriminating I will never know. I might add here that casper was one of the most well liked guys in our year, and I was, well, one of the kids who stayed in the background lets say. adn while that sort of thing means absolutely nothing to me now, at the time it was highly embarrasing. That's enough from me though. Lucky for me none of you will be at my 21st to bring all this up during the speeches. I want to hear yours now, I've shared enough.
hmmm. one time in choir i was late, and they were doing massages for a warm up, and i thought they were turned one way cuz they were turning around like they werent posed to, so i stepped in front of a girl when i thought i was behind her, and i almost touched her boobs and i was like o my god im soo sorry!!! and then there was a time ive almost sat on my friend laurens lap (she sits next to me)... and there is the many times where i sat and missed the chair... and sometimes my blindy friend becky and i will just barely touch canes, sometimes we'll run smack into each other... when i was younger when id play outside id run into trees, poles, ditches, people, etc... sometimes, this isnt really a blindy thing but i just lose my balance on the stairs, like my cane wasnt in the way and neither were my shoelaces... but for some odd reason sometimes i just go splat. lollol. and then just yesterday i got outa the car for church and i was like yall i have keys i can unlock the door! and i started runnin up to the porch. dunno why and how i fell; i didn trip on nothin. anyway my guitar, being in a soft case, wasnt completely protected and now has a little nick on the side but thankfully my dad and i both think its the finish, after a long, elaborate examination. dang, i cant believe i just told you all that!...
hmmm. i have many time talk to my friend or relative who was beside me. by right there was a stranger. and....when i went to shopping, i wanted to ask the sales girl for something, when i finish asking the question, i only realise that was not a human. it is a something else. its a shall, who have the same colour with the sales girl's uniform.
In Italy,I've fallen in a swimming pool I'd been navigating around since aged 9, my Italian family thought this was hilarious and jumped in to keep me company afterwards my Nephew Giancarlo repeatedly warned me
"watch the watetr Sandro I help you si............................................................
I've also gone head first over a tyre while showing off to land in a very muddy puddle......urrghh
chatted up a very nice female, while a bit pissed,only to discover she was an off duty detective looking for a pain in the arse, who wouldn't take no for an answer,luckily she saw the funny side....eventually....
.........Strolled in to Failte perfectly capable of finding the bar and nonchalantly walked out the door again, with my pint,you should have heard them..grin.
.........but the best screw up ever was the day I crashed my car into a wall!..the same wall I'd been avoiding for more than 20 feckin years..needless to say I was far from amused what with whiplash and my family killing themselves laughing.
Well I said excuse me to a fence post once. I was at one of the camps I use to go to, and I was being led somewhere, and I bumped in to something, and just assumed it was a person, and said, excuse me, and the friend leading me said, you just excused yourself to mister fence post, oops. Then there was the time a friend of mine and I were going to a christmas party, and her husband was taking both of us. At the time, we lived next door to my grandmother, and she had a huge dog, part boxer, part German shepherd, and my hand touched something furry, and I jumped back and almost screamed, it's the dog! I was scared of that dog. My friend got a big laugh out of it, and I did too, when I realized I had onlytouched her fur coat and mistook it for the dog.
wonderwoman
oh gosh, i've had several. i once apologised to a cardboard cut out of david beckham once. i was drunk, well, i had a hang over and went shopping with my sister. she went off to get something and i walked forward, crash! "oh dear, i'm ever so sorry, i didn't mean too, i'm a blink, can't see where i'm going" and my sister said "kay, you realise what you've just done, you've said sorry to a cut out of david beckham!!!!!!" that was so funny. there was another incodent on my 18th, when i bumped into a lamp post and said sorry. the david moment was definitely the funniest, i must say.
Wow I've had lots of them too, but here's one for you. My family used to have a german shepherd. We had her ever since I was little, and she was getting pretty old at this time. Well, I was sitting on the living room floor doing something (I can't remember what), and I reached behind me and felt her tail. So, I said, "Katy, move you're in my way." I got no response from her, and I panicked. lol So, I decided I didn't want to be the one who found her dead so I left the room. Well, about an hour later, the phone rang, and when, I went to answer it, I tripped over the dog at the end of the hallway. Well, needless to say I was thrilled to find her alive., but I was more than a little embarrassed when upon investigation, I discovered that what I had thought was the dog's tail was actually the dust mop. *smile*
oh that dust mop one is funny.
I've also come a right cropper while demonstrating well showing off a new set of crampons to my climber pals, so I set off across a slab of ice, feeling quietly confident.But when I went to change direction my front points, became tangled up with the strap on my gaiters, and I went flying on my arse for about 30 feet down a steep slope! When the initial embarrassment had worn off I quite enjoyed skiting around like an uncoordinated eejit.grin
