Clumsiness/Spatial failure

Post Reply New Topic

With bumping into people I do that a lot. I alomost always seem to find a way to accidently hit a girls butt with my hand unintentionally as I'm walking by... simply because of my height versus the average females. I just walk away making sure not to act as if I noticed it happening, or had any intention of it, even though I find it extremely difficult to do, just because I don't want people to think its intentional. I find that hard just because I know it wasn't intentional, and I worry that someone might think it is... I once bumped into someone and made him drop a cup of boiling water on me, thankfully the clothes I was wearing absorbed most of the heat.

How long have you been at mcdonalds for?

I have found that at my job (in a deli, I serve people and clean things and fill the case up), asides from very minor injuries such as clipping the sides of benches and containers on the ground, and pricking myself on the prawns, I have achieved the decent sort of injuries on each area only once. Ie only burnt myself on the racks from the chicken oven once, only cut myself with a knife deep enough it bled for an hour once, only made a 3cm cut on my hand due to a tin lid once etc. It seems after I learn by experience not to do certain things, I am always more careful. I can't help but walk into things though, and hit my head on things.
Oh and I've only emptied half of a rubbish bag on myself once

However, despite improving in my opinion other people have picked up that I am pretty much the sole user of the bandaids, its more of a 'what have you done now' thing rather than an 'omg r u hurt???!?'

I was at mcdonalds for 2.5 years, I left because of school, and now I workd at tim hortens, which, if you don't know is a Canadian coffee shop. Thnkfully there is not a whole there to hurt myself with.

Spatial neediness topic

I am even to unco-ordinated to work at Tim's. Too slow/clumsy/spatially challenged. I have to be in one place and focus on one thing. Not easy to find a job like that, expecially at my age!!

I once wanted to be a surgeon, however, if I was, hospital death rates would go through the roof from my clumsiness cutting important parts of people and leading to horribly botched surguries.

I had a couple of short term part time jobs and a couple of longer part tiem jobs like those mentioned in this thread when i was younger. what was evident is I used to carve out my own rigid routine and way of doing the job - very fast and systematised - which took in absolutely NO consideration of the other people i worked with. I was like a robotic lunatic now that i think back. only once did i get fired. The rest of the time they thought i was an incredible worker because i couldn;t stand talking to others too much and just wanted to burn through the shifts. my co-workers of course thought i was a flip with tics and too dangerous for my own good. (banging into thigns, clumsiness, bruises, burns ----all the stuff ana-banana mentions.)
