Why Do Things Go Wrong Unexpectedly?

[wolram]

I just started this thread so that some others can enlighten us as to why things go wrong,
like today i twisted my ankle by just standing up, but that is just an example what do you have that just goes wrong with no apparent reason?

 

[Evo]

I twisted my knee by getting up out of the chair, but it's the knee I put the glass through.

Do you have a right side or left side preference for injury, mine is mainly right side.

Mine is right side, usually, but I broke my left arm 4 times.

I can't help you. Things don't go wrong for me. Just this morning I bent down to put on my sandals and my pencil fell from my shirt pocket. I reached out my hand to catch it before it hit the floor and my little finger caught on my pant's pocket. That bent my finger in a particular way and pain shot up my arm so I straightened up in a reflex action and lost my balance as my knee jerked in a knee-jerk reaction to all this. Now I fell to the floor and as luck would have it, the pencil was resting on my other sandal a pointing up just enough to catch me on the palm of my hand as I landed. My foot shot out and knocked over the coat rack that came crashing down on me and knocked me out. I woke up in the hospital when a cute nurse was washing me down. What's wrong with that?

True but why? What is clumsy.

It has renewed my faith in the medical profession. First she started at the top and washed down as far as possible. Then she started at the feet and washed up as far as possible. Then she handed me the washcloth and I washed possible.

I have a why question. Why can I never find a matching pair of socks?

I gave up that situation some time ago, i buy a 12 pack of all black socks so i can all ways find a pair.

I always buy the same socks in packs of 6. All of my socks match.

i think most of the time, it's a lack of neuromuscular vigilance.

 

[Adyssa]

I have a problem with attempting to cut corners and take shortcuts through solid objects and hitting my knees, hips, toes, etc... I'm just in a too much of a damn rush to change the record / get a drink / whatever!

 

[rhody]

Evo,

I think Wolram created this thread just for you, and your endless list of injuries.

Rhody...

Slow down or you will burn out.

Burn [it] down or you will slow out.

 

[simpatico]

[Jimmy Snyder]

Burn [it] down or you will slow out.

Burn up or you will fast in.

It's better to burn out than to fade away? :)

Problem is, some body parts burn out, while others fade away.

 

[Adyssa]

Haha, that is true! :(

I have a day off today, and I'm going to practise moving slowly and doing one thing at a time. ^^

Odd socks don't exist. For every non equal pair of socks you go out wearing, you have a pair just like them at home.

 

[Evo]

I fell down last night and injured my tail bone and have a huge swollen area on my left leg just below the hip joint. It looks broken, but I'm not getting that searing pain you get from a break. I need more cushions in order to sit.

If you'd take my advice, Evo, you would break your ex's bones instead of your own.

 

[Hepth]

I once reached for a pen at my desk and herniated a disc in my back, I was 22 :(

Bad posture is probably the why...

Oh noes ! Put some ice on it!

 

[drizzle]

My right eye feels like it's been pulled into my skull, I have this headache all day long, and seems like it won't go. I believe it's because some water went deep inside through my nose last night... Haha! This sounds so Evo!

Hey there Evo, hope you get well soon. :)

I have a why question. Why can I never find a matching pair of socks?

My daughter refused to wear matching socks when she was a teenager and a young adult.

I remember one of the first warm days of spring. I had gone shopping on the way home from work and changed into shorts and sandals before unloading the groceries. First thing I do going out the door is ram my toe into the corner of the screen door, opening up a bleeding gash. It was almost like I put on sandals for the sole purpose of being able to hurt my toe.

I remember another first warm day of spring where we took the kids to the park for a picnic. Before we could even finish unloading the food from the car, one of boys had accidentally kicked the other one in the nose, giving them a bloody nose. While I was dealing with that, one of the daughters started screaming. I ran over to her and found out she broke her arm falling off of the monkey bars. We drove all the way to the park, just so the kids could spend five minutes injuring themselves, so we could spend the rest of the day in the emergency room.

Fitting to a why thread.
