funny accidents

[mitfy]

consider this a thread to just laugh at yourself a bit

do you ever have an accident of some kind that ends up being funny or lightening the mood?


first post, an experience of mine that happened today;
all day today i was feeling pretty down. there have been lots of things on my mind lately, and one of them was that i needed to be doing a lot of work in photography so i wouldn't fall behind. well today i was in the darkroom, printing one thing after another and trying to get as many photos out of the class period as i could. now i don't know if all darkrooms are like this, but in ours our drawers have two layers - the regular drawer and then another sliding piece that goes on top that you pull back to get into the drawer, made so there's an extra layer between the room and the light-sensitive material. well i'd pulled out a slip of paper to do a test strip with and i closed the sliding piece of the drawer RIGHT onto my fingers. i dont know how i managed to do it but i somehow sent it flying right onto my first three fingers, hitting my middle finger the hardest. it hurt like H*CK and i didn't yell out or anything so no one noticed (thankfully), so i tried to shake it off. thing is.. it.. didn't shake off. i put my fingers in the rinse bath to try and soothe them, but the water was weirdly warmer than usual, so it hardly helped. i dried off my hand and though i was in immense pain i spent ~20 seconds doing my test strip, tossed it into the developer, and sent myself out that rotating door to look at my finger. turns out i was bleeding. i somehow managed to send the drawer flying towards my fingers at such speed that it broke the skin on my finger and was actively bleeding. i rinsed it off and got a paper towel and asked for a band aid (to which the teacher was like 'that hurts! poor baby!' and put it on my finger for me) and i went back to the darkroom to put my paper in the stop. anyways it hurt really badly, but afterwards i actually found it pretty amusing. it even made me feel better and bring my mood up a bit after being sad all morning.

you mean like, sports bloopers or something? my first time snow skiing on an intermediate run, I got going pretty fast and didnt handle a mogul well and went flying into the air with my ski's coming off in mid-air. then as i tumbled down the slope my skis went gliding past me. unfortunately this course was directly by some condos and some family in their minivan were all laughing and took pictures of my mishap...

Yesterday I had tripped over the bottom of my pants fabric a little. It was funny!

I've flung ice cream at myself and across the room while trying to scoop it out with a regular spoon like 3 times this week and it always cracks me up

One time I was washing paint off of a brush after class and I somehow managed to cut myself on the silver part that holds the brush bristles. I ran my finger over the brush afterwards to check for sharp edges or something sticking out, but I couldn't find anything. I still have no idea how it happened.

My most recent klutz moment was last year in French iirc.
So I sat in the back corner of the class right next to this metal cabinet. The class was super quiet since we were busy writing a paragraph or something in French. I dropped my pen, but when I went to pick it up I tumbled out of my chair and rolled into the metal cabinet. Of course EVERYONE heard it and turned around to look at me. I was so confused at what happened, and when I tried to stand back up to go back to my seat I fell back into the cabinet a second time. I hit the cabinet hard enough that I dented it, and I got to see that dent the rest of the year to remind me of that.
I graduated high school last year too so idk if the teacher kept the cabinet or bought a new one, but something tells me she kept it. So now there's a student looking at that dent wondering how it got there. This is my 1 lasting imprint on that school. I'm proud of myself.
