Imagine this: it is my first shift at my new job as a busser at a restaurant. I am carrying a tray of seven water glasses filled to the brim. I trip over my own foot. All hell breaks loose.

A day in the life of a clumsy person is anything but boring. At least once a day I hurt myself in some way, shape or form. Usually, these injuries make for a great story and end up making whoever is watching laugh out loud. Despite the injuries, though, there are still a lot of things every clumsy person can relate to.

1. Those mysterious bruises everywhere on your body.

I wake up almost every day to a new bruise on my leg or my arm and even in random places like my foot. Usually, clumsy people have absolutely no recollection of how they got these bruises because they ran into too many tables that day to remember which one gave them the bruise.

2. Apologizing to inanimate objects.

Being clumsy means you usually bump into things. A lot. Sometimes it’s people but most of the time you’re just running into everyday household objects. For some reason, I always find myself apologizing to these things as if they’re offended by my clumsiness.

3. There are endless videos of you looking like an idiot.

Your loving, caring, wonderful friends are usually kind enough to take videos and Snapchats of you in full-on clumsy mode. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of my friends have albums dedicated to all of my clumsy moments.

4. High heels? I don’t think so.

Walking in heels is probably one of the scariest things if you’re clumsy. If I know a special event is coming up and I’ll be wearing heels, I’ll start giving myself pep talks days in advance.

5. Your life seems to be one long infomercial (before they advertise the product).

You know, the one where the woman goes to open the cabinet and flood of plastic containers comes pouring out. Or when someone goes to take a sip of their drink and somehow it gets all over their brand new white shirt? That’s not fake, people. That is my life.

6. “Don’t run with scissors” was and is strictly enforced.

All kids are taught to not run with scissors. However, most 18-year-old girls don’t usually have to keep telling themselves that same rule as an adult.

7. Stairs are terrifying.

Walking up them, walking down them, even just standing there looking at them…all dangerous activities. Most people don't believe that falling up the stairs is an actual thing. I'm here to confirm that, yes, it is.

8. This GIF is an accurate depiction of you and your friends at a party:

Don't deny it. You know it's true.

9. At the end of the day, though, you own that shit.

No one does clumsy better than you.
