Ok, so if you really want to know my deepest, darkest secret...
Yesterday I walked into a bench and aquired a purplely pink bruise and dent on my knee.

A couple days ago I put my burger down on the table out in the living room because I had to get something from my mom and then I went back in my room and I couldn't find my burger. So I went out in the living room and I still couldn't find it. Guess where it was? Right underneith my nose....

List of things I ran into yesterday (that I remember):
My desk
My bed
The couch
My door
The living room doorway
The bathroom door

Well, yesterday I fell off my bed and hit my elbow off the base of the bed and cracked my head off the corner of my bedside cabinet.
And in Florida, I walked into a window in the Motown Cafe.

I have a tendancy to walk into walls. Maybe my feet just don't know what they're doing, but they tend to steer me in the wrong direction. Frequently I attempt to go through a doorway, and I end up hitting the edge hard with my shoulder.
And then there was the time I was listening to angry Linkin Park music, and I sort of.. threw myself against the wall, and ended up with a huge bruise on the top of my arm.

Uhm...Who hasn't walked into doors/walls/glass/people?
Once in Spain, there were strange bollards in the road, they were like upside U's, but alot wider, and I managed to trip over one. I was looking in a shop window while walking foreward, and I went straight over the thing. It was embarrasing.
Another time I was attempting to leave a shop, and well, I thought it was an exit, and it wasn't, so I went smacking into glass.
Once I was walking in school, I turned around and went foreward without looking, but there was some boy who was like 6'2". I walked into him and because he was walking foreward too, I like, bounced back off him & landed on the floor.
But, do NOT run in mirror mazes, especially while turning "corners" in the maze. I did atleast ten times, ending up with bruises to my face.

Almost every day in school I trip over one of those little things on the floor that stop the door opening too much. One of these days I'm gonna fall flat on my face. =P

I've never walked into a glass door/window.
Once, I was shopping, and It was right around closing time. They went ahead and locked the door to keep more people from coming in, while the customers still there finished up. So I finished, and I didn't know the door was locked, I went up to it and pushed, but it didn't budge.
The saleslady came up and said "Don't hurt yourself!" and unlocked it so I could leave XD
The Far Side, anyone?

Ah, I don't think I've seen that one before...but I like it. =P
I haven't run into glass doors/windows, but I've run into screen doors, 'cause I'll leave 'em open while I run inside quick, and someone decides to close it, then I go to run back outside... (And yes, sometimes run in a literal sense...shocking for me, I know.)

Hey, where did you find that picture? Because in the same database are 2 philosophy lectures. They were acctually pretty interesting. And I remembered when I ran into my sofa and actually flipped over and landed on the sofa. Well, half on the sofa, half falling off.

I love Farside! That one is classic too! I really miss having new Farside comics, now I can only read old ones.

My sister used to have a T-shirt with that comic on it, this thread made me remember it, so I just whipped up an image search and found it.
It's made me think though. A lot of doors do say either "Push" or "Pull". But for the most part you can sort of tell by looking at the door whether you should pull or push, based on the hardware. If you're to push, there's usually a flat area for you to do so, whereas, if you're to pull, there's a handle to pull on.
Unless you go to the new movie theatre in my city. You have to pull the doors, but you can't tell by looking at them (and there's no sign or sticker telling you so). The handle is built into the decorative design of the door, so you don't see it at first. The decorative design also has a flat area, which makes you think you're supposed to push.
I've got myself trained to pull the door, but it's fun to watch people go up and push the door, and then pull it. Keeps me entertained when I'm waiting to buy tickets.
