You have more bruises than you can count, your family is constantly concerned for your well-being and you’ve never walked a sidewalk you haven’t managed to trip on at some point or another. This is your life, and has been for as long as you can remember.

You were that kid in gym class back in the day who caught basketball rebounds with her face — which just got you a lovely get-out-of-gym card for life. Your life is a constant struggle with gravity, and it’s a battle you will always, without fail, lose.

You have grown to embrace your clumsy tendencies, but unfortunately not everyone around you has the patience for the BS you have grown so accustomed to.

So it’s time to shed a little light on your clumsiness to all those people who think you have some sort of control over your center of gravity.

What’s it like to live a life where you are constantly tripping over your own two feet?

1. People think you are in somewhat of an abusive relationship

The truth is you are, but it’s with yourself.


2. You aren’t even fazed when you trip on the sidewalk

This happens to you every single time you step outside. It’s become more a staple in your daily routine than a hiccup in your day.


3. You haven’t been allowed to eat in anyone’s car since you were 12

4. You have punched yourself in the face… today

Just add that bruise to the list.


5. Your friends never let you borrow their clothes

f-u-all

You have ruined far too many items ever to have those privileges again.

You have yet to eat something that hasn’t ended up smeared across your blouse.


7. No one ever lets you use the steak knife

Because whenever you do, you end up in the emergency room.

You can never walk through a doorway without banging your elbows on the frame.

There’s a ton of things your roommates would never judge you for, your clumsiness is not one of them.

You know those little devices the waiter uses to scrap bread crumbs off the table? The invention was actually inspired by you.


13. You have literally gotten into fights your with your SO because of the amount of things you knock over

Don’t you think if we could prevent this, we would?

You should just give up all together because this happens every single time.


18. You get breathalyzed for wearing heels when you’re sober

Everyone on the street thinks you’re hopelessly intoxicated regardless of the fact that you are actually dead sober. But shocker, you can’t manage to walk in high heels if your life depended on it.

You have absolutely no center of gravity.

Why we can't have nice things

No one has ever tried throwing you anything because whenever you do, it ends up broken on the floor.


31. While most girls would love to go ice skating with their boyfriends, you couldn’t be paid to do that

How do strippers do it?!
