I have reciently come to the realization that when I walk I "cut corners". My wife put up a small moose deceraton that hangs on the wall, and I have run into it almost every time i've gone by. It protudes less than an inch so I must always "brush" that part of the wall. I've noticed since that I naturally cut the corners every where I go. Anyone else notice this? This also explains the neumerous "stubbed" toes I always get from chair legs etc.

I've been brushing corners and banging my shoulder on door frames for as long as I can remember.

I'm with druid on this one.

I developed tendonotis in my right elbow. Man, just brushing it against the wall was tough. Now I carry a weapon to worry about! :rolleyes:

I have been bashing elbows, and shoulders for as long as I can remember as well. Try it with tendonitis of the outer elbow! It's gone now, but man let me tell you, OW. :eek: Ray.

haha...

Yes, I'm like this as well.. I find myself every morning walking out the front door and jumping over the bush in front of my house....

Why walk around it when I can save myself 1 millisecond. :D

Yup - been doing that as long as I can remember. Seems like the older I get, the more it happens :) Also, have you noticed, that if you get something like a paper cut, everything you touch seems to tag on that cut? A few years ago, I broke my leg just above the ankle (both bones - sheared them almost straight across) - they had to insert some steel plates to hold the bones together so they would mend. Anyway, it took 70 stitches to sew everything up. It amazes me how often I bump something on the stitch scar (it's still a bit sensitive to this day) :eek:
