I just went for the biggest sixer...

Buying lunch is hazardous... I was running up the steps from my local eatery and managed to hook the tip of my left shoe under the step and CRASH down I go.... both hands stretched out... wallet, work pass/keys, can of pepsi max and my sandwich go completely flying! I think I even whacked the top of my chest on the steps!

I simply turned around sat on my butt and started looking for the blood!!!

I hit the ground hard as!! No blood, no busted bones that I can see... all I got was a scratch on my Alpha - thank god I didnt have my Panerai yet was all I could think

What a clutz eh??????

Thank goodness you are OK. The bruising will probably start tomorrow.

Ouch... sometimes, after such events, all you can do is sit there a second, shake your head and laugh. Oh yeah, and check to see who else saw it () Hope you're all OK and, oh yeah, your watch too.

Talk about embarrassment.............I was in an hotel last week, when I came down for breakfast, not only was my vest sticking out of the back of my trousers but my flies were open as well. Had to do a quick adjustment when I sat down.

Glad to hear you are OK amanda. Sounds rather painful and not fun at all!
Lucky you were wearing your alpha, otherwise you would've sustained some nasty scratches as your used boths hands to shield your PAM

Trim the tips off of those pointy shoes.

If 'those' hit the ground it mightn't have been so bad, but the connect point was a lot higher and therefore alot more painful.

Since I went for my sixer... I've aggravated an old shoulder injury! So now my body hurts as much as my ego does

Just goes to show, you should not keep your pants on the stairs.

Glad you are OK as well.
