Coordination: I DONT HAZ IT

[trinityvixen]

Yesterday, I was wearing flip flops and, as I made my way out of the lab, I breezed by a guy with a dolly. My unbuttoned sweater flapped out and got caught on one of the dolly's handles. It jerked me backwards (wow, strong sweater material) and because I was in flip flops on tile, my legs went skidding out from underneath me. I twisted to catch myself because my legs were going one way and my upper body another (stupid sweater!). I think I wrenched something in my left knee as a result. Le SIGH.

The best part is where I did all this while trying to scoot between two guys lingering in the doorway. Nothing makes a humiliatiing whoopsie better than doing it with an audience!

Wow. Ouch - through your description, I saw the whole thing happening in my head in slow motion :-P

Usually, when I get items of clothing caught on things, I notice before I get so far away I create a knock-me-over lever arm. This particular sweater was so stretchy, I got too far away with too much force, and boom! I'm almost on my ass. (Because I turned, I actually ended up more on my hands and thigh.) The damnedest thing is that that stupid sweater was still caught when I got up again. It took, like, effort to detach it. Stupid sweater!
