Directions in Which Your Body Should Not Rotate

[rubah]

When I was younger, I was prone to falling out of chairs. Backwards. I have kept up this habit to my present day.

The dining room chairs were excusable, they were very light made out of vinyl and metal poles. The band room chairs also, being plastic with a low back.

The recliner in the den proved a little more embarassing, being made for the purpose of reclining back a long distance, and being so much bigger.

I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty positive I've fallen out of at least one of the chairs in my dorm room; if not, I'm confident I will do so at some point in the future tbs.

Also, this one was pretty amazing at the time; I was at my grandparent's house on my bike (I don't know why I had it there), trying to go up a little steep hill. Except my forward momentum did not counteract my acceleration due to gravity, and my head painfully hit asphalt. I was not previously aware that you could flip backwards on a bike, but I sure was wrong.

On one hand, I hope that my flipping days are done, fast approaching the age of fragility and arthritis as I am, but the other hand maintains that it's kinda fun, the excitement of 'holy crap no more balance' and 'lol what a dumdum', so I am undecided on that.

C) Mock and belittle you
D) All of the above are legit Topics

One time I did a -360. Take that Ruby Pencil!

It's cause you're a tall freak of nature. Shorties like me have a better center of gravity because we're proportioned like decent people ought to tbe.

Ouch Shiny that must of hurt

yeah but tallies like me are proportioned like AMAZON GODDESSES ought to be.

crackahon, they're all legit apparently, but I'd like to hear about falling backwards out of chairs especially, if anyone has done that.

going back to paragraph one, I noticed today how really really short a lot of girls are at my campus. I've never really felt ostracized for my height, but they're so TINY. like bugs I could squash.

[NeoCracker]

Well, since C is legit, hahahaha, you're a clumsy dufus! :P

But I do things that are more stupid then clumsy. Like walking headfirst into a water drip in front of an old class room.

I was staring directly at it, telling myself I was going to avoid it. Yet I just kept walking straight.

I recently fell off the University Union... that is the building i can get food at or get information and whatnot.

I also fell out of about 20 different chairs durring my 8th grade year.

I have a similar problem with chairs, but it largely depends on the type of chair rather than the entirety of all chairs.

It is common for me to trip while walking over my own feet because of their size.

Because of the size of my shoes, too, I tend to trip over some obvious things because my shoes will connect with it and cause me lose balance temporarily. Fortunately, I am agile enough to avoid falling over completely, but it still makes you look bad when you stumble!

I don't know how boys manage school room desks. It's bad enough for me.

[Vermachtnis]

I fallen out of chairs. The best was when I was laughing at someone who did something stupid, but not as stupid as falling backwards out of my chair.

[Faded Tears]

I fall outside every single winter. Some winters just once, others a few.
I've fallen on the steps, in snow banks, on the sidewalk and parking lots. In addition, I've been stuck in the snow twice (up to my knee).

My left knee has a load of scars.

My balance sucks and I've come to live with that. (I have no idea if this qualified as being on topic)

[Strawberry_Mew]

My Balance has gotten better with ice..I use to sux now kinda okay..haven't fallen...yet

[Araciel]

I can't think of a single occasion that clumsiness has made me tumble at all, though I did have a traumatizing incident involving blackouts, falling, and glass.
