I have heard recently from one of my friends about a funny accident he just had backing up into his garage. I won’t go into specifics but let’s just say he had a bit of a surprise when he found that the opening system of the garage door malfunctioned and without realizing i he backed up straight into the door. This reminded me about the series of funny accidents that have happened to me around the house in recent years. Of course everybody who tells a story like this ends with the phrase you should have been there, and it doesn’t help that you can’t see me flailing my arms around in an effort to explain the situation further, but I am sure you can relate to some of these stories and you may even find some of them funny. Also I urge you to post your own mishaps around the house in the comment section below. Now let’s get down to it and let me tell you some of the funniest accidents that happened to me in my own home:
1. Diehard trout. I had just returned from fishing for about two hours. I had a pretty good catch and I was planning to make a perfect fish dinner. So I proceeded to take the scales off of the biggest fish I had caught. Of course what I didn’t count on was the fact that the fish was still alive. This had never happened to me before because by now it was supposed to be dead. Needless to say the fish slipped out of my hands, jumped of the cutting board landing on the table making a complete mess of anything there and giving my wife a great scare in the process. Looking back of course we booth realize that it was just one of those funny accidents we could always get a laugh out of at a party.
2. Banana peel slide. I’m sure that this is one of those funny accidents that everybody has heard of, or has seen in cartoons, but I never thought it would ever happen to me. I’m sure you can guess what happens when a full grown adult meets a banana that has fallen on the floor trying to get outside the house in a hurry so I’ll spare you the details. The only thing I feel the need to say is: who knew hardwood floors were so unforgiving for your back?
3. The nut cracker. This is one of those funny accidents if you were the person watching the other person get hurt, so let’s just say my wife had a laugh while I was not so happy. I was opening some walnuts while watching TV, using a hammer on a chopping board. Needless to say, my pinky somehow managed to find its way right between the hammer and the chopping board when I was focused on the fact that my team had just scored. Let’s just call it a matter of the wrong place at the wrong time, for my pinky, which has subsequently recovered from the traumatic experience.
4. Whipped cream fiasco. I bet this has happened to everybody who ever tried to use a much too small bowl to whip some cream with a blender. Let’s just say that, two seconds after I had turned the blender on, it seemed like the kitchen had just witnessed a snow blizzard.
5. Kitty surprise. I love my cat, but sometimes it just drives me crazy. One of those times was when I came home tired like never before from work and crashed on my couch. It took me a while to realize that the cushion was somewhat moist and had a funny smell to it. When I realized what had actually happened, I could swear I heard my cat snickering in the background.
6. Mild shock. Trying to fix the reception on my TV didn’t prove to be one of my smartest ideas to date. Of course plugging it out wouldn’t have a good idea either but maybe I could have been more careful as to not get electrocuted, mildly of course, nothing serious.
7. Too hot to handle. Everybody has done this. Taking something hot out of the oven and finding you have no place to put it, and while you struggle to think of a place you realize that the oven glove you were using becomes pretty inefficient after a while.
I hope you had fun reading the misfortunes of others. I’m kidding, but I hope this article has managed to spark some interest for the subject and maybe I will see some of your funny accidents around the house in the comments section. Don’t be shy; everybody went through something like this at one point or another.
