I know how you feel. These sort of things happen to me all the time. I'm not clumsy, but I am cursed with what I call "multiple fückups". This is where one very minor accident causes something else to screw up which causes something else to screw up which then causes a major problem.

One (real) example:

I was very carefully carrying a plate of spaghetti and a glass of wine. The wind (created by my movement as I walked past) blew a paper off my desk. I carefully put down my wine and spaghetti on the desk, but when I picked up the paper I bumped the desk slightly and caused a little wine to spill. I moved the wine glass to clean up the little spill, but the slight movement from cleaning caused the roll of paper towels (used to clean up spill) to topple over into the spaghetti. I quickly picked up the plate of spaghetti which then bumped the wine glass. My attempt to stop the wine glass from falling then caused the spaghetti to slide off the plate. Then, when cleaning up the whole mess, I cut my hand on the broken wine glass.

(painfully true story... and no I had not been drinking before the "multiple fückup")

Muwahaahah!

I'm sorry about your misfortunes but that was a hilarious story :lol: :roflmao:

And you coined a new phrase for a chain reaction of bad luck (MultipleF'ups) MFU. :lol:

Yours was probably an 8 on the MFU scale :roflmao:
