AWESOME!

As a tall person I must say — YES! VERY AWESOME! :D
February 24, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Amen! :D

Do you know how many times this happens to me??? Being as tall as I am I have a lot of situations where a good healthy bump will temporarily ruin my day, but a good dodge will brighten it for just as long, if not longer. It’s the psychological middle finger to shower curtain holders and low exit signs. I always give a nice grin just to say “I just bested you, universe. You can’t stop me now.”
:D
Aweshome.

Car trunk is the worst… mine doesn’t stay up so i either have to hold it up or get in and out REALLY quickly

Curse my shortness, but I don’t often experience this. Oh well.
February 24, 2010 at 10:07 am
No, we just experience the flip side: being doubly disappointed when we actually DO bump our heads on something, because we’re not used to it.
But…being able to reach things that are normally unreachable? AWESOME!

Last night while doing laundry I bumped my head on the open upper cabinet…and yes, it would have been AWESOME to not have done that. :) Great post!

On the flip side, one of the worst things is renting a car you’re not used to and bumping your head on the trunk door every time! thanks goodness for hats, or my head would have been so bruised.
February 24, 2010 at 3:02 pm
That is awesome, unfortunately I usually am the one saying, “Dammit! I really need to remember that!”
February 24, 2010 at 5:39 pm
I like when it grazes your scalp just ever so gently. It’s about as good as finding a couple bucks on the ground.
February 25, 2010 at 12:23 am
Yes!! It’s the same surprise as hitting your head on something minus the pain! :D
Feels good.
Awesome.

My childhood home has a china cabinet that overhangs the kitchen counter. We all have divots in the crown of our heads from its dreaded corner.
And when you see someone’s head snap up from their sandwich preparations…suck in your breath waiting for the crash…but then…whoosh. Only a ruffle in the hair. Sigh of relief all around, because we’ve all been there, brother! Yep, this one is pretty awesome!
February 26, 2010 at 12:26 pm
The open car trunk was always a danger for me :)

Having lost the hairs on the top of my head, I would have to say that I find myself bumping my head quite often. I don’t have that little cushion of hair on top that gives you a split-second warning before you do bump your head…OUCH!

How about “seeing someone ELSE hit their head on what you always hit your head on”
(:
nothing better then knowing your not alone.

My older brother is 6-foot-6 and besides it being hard to find clothes that fit or beds that are long enough, he definitely had a clumsy streak once he reached 6-foot. One night after dinner, Mom yelled for him to come downstairs right away. As he came running, he smacked his head on the overhang at the top of the stairs and blacked out, tumbling down the stairs. Now we have caution tape sealed to the overhang, and he hasn’t hit it since!
