"I did almost the same thing, except I was crossing the road to catch said bus. I was looking right all clear, checked left, nothing coming. I keep looking left as there's a turning too where other cars sometimes rip round. Keep looking left, keep looking left. The bus has stopped... I ran right into the side of it  "
Oh i do hope you weren't injured |

Back when I was about 16 large flared trousers were all the rage.
I was meeting a lad at the bowling alley (as you do) My mum had given me a lift there, she told me to go check my "friend" was there before she drove off. I went, he was, trotted back to the car to tell her it was cool to go home.
Whilst running back to the bowling alley from the car park, gazing into his eyes as we got closer and closer, my left foot caught in the flare of my right trouser leg.
Splat. |

I was on a date with my first ever serious boyfriend, he was chatting away to me and i tripped over a kerbstone and ended up sprawled at his feet. Mortified! Took a week for my cheeks to cool down from the embarressment!
With my last boyfriend (and before we'd had children) we were having a drink in the house. I went upstairs to use the loo, came back down and sort of jogged through the door (don't ask) but tripped over the carpet thingy and landed on the floor, ankle in agony. I couldn't move so slept on sofa. The following morning went to A&E and i'd broken my ankle!!
I also tripped over a garden rake once in my nans back garden and broke my arm!!
I blame being tall, big feet and it's a long way down! |

I was in Ibiza with my sister n pals when I was 16. My sister was in the pool talking to this guy. She goes under the water and comes up with her hair in braids thinking she was the bees knees and there was a big snotter on her top lip. He said you've got a bogey on your nose and she said aye very funny. She turned round to me and I said you actually have. Every time we met them out he would hand her get a tissue to wind her up. They are still married and he tells the story now and again at parties lol x |

I was walking along the street reading a newspaper one morning when I noticed suddenly that the newspaper was coming towards me. Before I could react the newspaper got so close that I walked into it...and the lamppost that was on the outside of it.
The lads walking along the street in the opposite direction had a good laugh. To be fair, it was pretty funny - I even saw the funny side then and there. |

So glad you told that story!

Many years ago whilst doing my paper-round, I was riding my bike into an absolute blizzard. My head was down to keep the stinging wind from my eyes when I road straight into the back of a parked Transit Van

I met a girl for dinner and romantically took her for a walk on the pier to watch the sun set. Unfortunately a pelican thought this was the perfect setting to void it's bowels. Directly above her. The part she did not take well is that whilst she was totally drenched, not a drop landed on me.
And no. I didn't get lucky. |

Mrs M woke up in hospital when she was a child after knocking herself unconscious.
She was running down a dark alleyway taking a shortcut through to her house, she was running that fast that she didn’t see that a post had snapped off and was across the passageway so ran head first into it.
Spent 3 days in hospital with a suspected fractured skull  |

I was ice skating once, well moving about on ice, can't really skate and it was quite busy. I was skating behind a guy as he caught the front of his skate and fell flat on his face! Now for some reason, that I will never understand, instead of going around him, I decided to jump over him. I tried, I really did but i just went up into the air then landed flat on the guys back. All I could see was his arms and legs flattened out to the sides of him as he let out this winded growl
Poor guy had to be lifted to the side to get his breath back |

I'm the clumsiest klutz I know, off the top of my head, there's probably more ... first ever office job when I was 17, turned to stand up, somehow caught my foot in the lowest drawer of my desk which was open, fell over spectacularly pulling the big computer monitor with me which totally smashed (back in the day when they were a relatively expensive commodity). Oh, and same job, to compound my embarrassment went away with colleagues for the weekend ... wore a pale yellow swimsuit which went completely see through in the pool ...
Around the same time went splat on an icy zebra crossing in central London in front of waiting traffic. Actually stunned myself a bit and couldn't stand up so humiliatingly *crawled* slowly to the pavement on my hands and knees. No one helped me 
Had one of those temporary metal traffic signs, like you get by roadworks, get swept up by the wind during the 1987 'hurricane' which then crashed on top of me ... guess that was kind of my fault for struggling into work in such weather. Got very cut and bruised all down my left side.
Family bike ride on a Devon holiday, I fell off my bike, down an embankment into a load of blackberry bushes. Couldn't get back up to the cycle path so once they'd all stopped laughing my teen son climbed down and pulled me up. I was squeezing thorns out of my hands and legs for a week |

Not so much an accident but I was on a date with a young woman who I'd met who had just moved to the area for uni, anyway, took her to a bar she had wanted to go to and while we were chatting and flirting over a table for two my nose suddenly exploded with blood. I'd never had a nose bleed in my life before this point. And yes, Sod's law would mean I was wearing a white shirt, wasn't allowed in anywhere else that evening because of it and had to drop said lady with her friends before sulking off into the night never to see her again |
