A postman who fell into a manhole while gawping at a pretty girl is among the entrants in a new Everyday Hall of Shame, a poll showed today.
The boyfriend who fell off a drainpipe, shattering his arm and embedding a nail in his skull as he desperately tried to circumvent his girlfriend's lock-out, joins the sewage-soaked postie in Britons' top five clumsy confessions.
And in a poll to discover the stupidest accidents people have had, Tesco found a DIY enthusiast who bit through the insulating tape and copper wires with the TV still on and a dozy worker who was left with a broken nose after walking into a newly-cleaned glass wall.
The survey of 1,434 people found sheer clumsiness was the main cause of the accidents (40%), closely followed by lack of concentration (34%).
Just over one in 10 (11%) admitted their accidents happened while under the influence, but over half (56%) of people are so haunted by their most embarrassing accident they still think about it.
So confess peeps wots the most embarrasing thing or stupid thing u've done -
Mine includes sitting on a needle and sitting on a fork, the latter causing me to need a tetanus jab!
My brother told me a cracker as well about him pal's mum jumping off the bus into a manhole - he said she just jumped off and then disappeared! lol :56:

Two years ago in the hight of summer i was going commando as it was scorching and was out on the * on a saturday night, the night was going well until i went to the toilet,i was chatting to one of my mates and not paying attention to the task in hand and when i pulled my zip up (yes you have guessed it) i got myself caught. I looked down in horror and there was blood everywhere.That was bad enough but when i finaly got to the hospital the nurse that was taking care of me was my mums best freind,and the fact that she said dont worry David i've seen it before when i changed your nappies as a kid did not help one little bit.Take my advice always focus on the matter in hand.

I once spend far too much time pulling on a push only door. I just couldn't grasp why the door wasn't opening. When I finally did, it was simply easier to hang my head and walk away in shame. was only about 5 seconds, but felt like an hour.:31:
-
Yeah Thomps I hate when that happens - the door's got a huge PUSH sign on it and ur pulling like mad lol :87:

local furniture store had hired a new "worker" and one of the first tasks he had was to arrange a display of water beds in the show room. He laid them all out neatly(about 10 of em) and then proceeded to put price labels on them using an electric stapler. When prospective customers would sit on the beds to try them out littlefountains of water sprayed out from undeneath the price tags. I don't think he works in that store any longer.

Just read this one:
A guy who killed a prostitute cut up her body, put it in a suitcase and dumpred it in a canal – they caught him coz the suitcase had his brother's name and address on it! - what an idiot!!! Not that he should be doing that of course anyway. -

This is a great thread! Many laughs so far, and a big cringe for Big D.
Here's mine: I was working in the pharmacy and I was talking to this good-looking young man about books, school, life.... Anyway, he came in the pharmacy a few weeks later, and when I saw him I said, "Where do I know you from?" Duuuuhhh! I turned so red. :52: -
