So about 2 o'clock last night I had finally had enough of the people downstairs blasting the stereo and I really wasn't in the mood to go down and ask them to turn it down so I tried the age old method of stomping on the floor.
Only I could injure myself stomping on the damn floor. As soon as I did it I felt something pull at the back of my knee. Now my foot is swollen and I can't straighten my leg out.
I think it's a good thing I never wanted to be a dancer. I would have taken a header of the stage and impailed myself on a music stand.

That's almost as bad as the time I tripped over a pillow and severly sprained my ankle. I was on crutches for almost a month.

Sorry you hurt yourself but ya know they make broom handles for that or bats better yet a bowling ball works great.
I lived below a lady with kids years ago and she kept them up all night and they would bounce a basket ball on the floor. I am talking 3 to 5 year olds at 3 AM bouncing that damn ball everynight. Needless to say after about a week of that I went up one morning at 3 am and gave her a piece of my mind and told her to put her kids to bed like normal folks did. Yep I was a real peeved neighbor and really didn't care what she thought. Worked for about 2 days and back to no sleep again. But alas it took getting her evicted to stop the racket. What a mess.
Feel for ya.

Mark said I'm the only person he knows of that has, not once but twice, managed to get both feet tangled up in a coat hanger and fall......we have concrete floors. It would've been pretty funny, OK it IS funny, if it hadn't hurt so much.
Sorry about your pain fenix, but I think that trumps you in the coordination department.

I've never tripped over a coat hanger but I have fallen up and down stairs. I'd say it's heriditary because my mother is a major klutz too but she has an excuse... she has foot drop.
I'm just klutzy.

Amazingly, I don't fall often, but strangely when I do fall and pick myself up, I smack the nearest person to me, like it was their fault!

Bebo, that's like the time I ran into a friend at a hardware store and when I called his name he turned and fell, knocking over a large display of toolboxes. When he got up he yelled at me, LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO and amazingly everyone in the store looked at me with disgust. I was standing there saying, hey what the hell did I do. I left my friend there to explain that one on his own.

I slipped and fell flat onto my back, on a wet, newly mopped floor at a McDonalds restaurant one time and I guess out of embarassment I jumped up right away but as I did I realised that I should have stayed down. People saw me slip and fall and I realised that at the very least I coulda gotten my Happy Meal for free.

LOL funny stories. My wife fell or should I say propelled like the Exorcist vomit out of the shop door one day. How she flew out that door we can't figure out. She missed the landing which is a good 4 feet out from the door and landed in the very thick grass on her hands and knees. But the funniest part was she jumped up looked all around to see if anyone saw her, as if they would , the shop is behind our home and there is nothing all around us out back but pasture, grass and varmints. She was quick to her feet and after first looking around realized she had hurt her wrist and both knees had grass stains that took days to get out of her skin. She also snuck back up to door of the shop and peeked in to see if anyone was in there that could have thrown her out the door. Just plain weird, she was totally air born. I was up by the house and saw her come flying out head first. It is funny now but she sure was upset over it. She thought we had ghost and still does.
