(5,657 posts)I took out my trusty beater with ONE paddle and proceeded to mix it up IN the jar. Well, the oil splashed over the top and down the sides and I lost my grip on the jar but the beater kept beating. I had peanut butter in my hair, all over the stove, on the kitchen window, and various and assorted other places. Was like a Lucy Show. I began cleaning it up when my husband walked in and said "What the hell happened?". I told him it was looking pretty good now and he should've seen it 5 minutes ago. We still laugh about it. And I am not even left-handed.

(22,154 posts)A couple days ago, I bent over to pick something up off the floor, then banged the hell out of my head on the dresser, standing back up. I've also slammed a drawer closed on my own finger--same dresser. Its possessed!

(82,849 posts)But I just seem to hit maximum klutz, like, every time. Someone else can knock a vase off a table, and it will hit just right on an area carpet and no problem. I do it, and the vase shatters into a gazillion pieces, cuts three people (including one in the next room) with the shards, and was a priceless family heirloom that came over with Grandma Nonna on the boat from Poland.

(21,611 posts)a good sale on a jumbo sized box of Cheerios. It was too much to fit into another container, so I put the whole box into my cupboard. It was too tall to stand upright, so I put it on its side.
I am short, so when I reached up to pull the box down after it had been opened once, it tilted so that the flap popped open. Cheerios rained down on me and rolled across the floor, while the cat chased after them.
By the time I righted the box, almost half of it had spilled out. Cheerios all over the counter, cupboard shelf, and on and between other items on the shelf. I swept the floor first. Then cleaned up the counter and shelf. Should have saved the floor for last because I had to sweep it again after cleaning off the shelf and counter.
Later, when I opened the fridge door, I saw Cheerios on the floor that had been hiding under the door. So I pulled out the fridge from the wall and found several more that had rolled under the fridge, which is on the opposite side of the kitchen from the cupboard.
So much for my money saving jumbo box of cereal, since I lost over 1/3 of the box to the trash bin.
But at least the cat enjoyed my clumsiness.
