Annoyances/Confusions: Ask anybody who has known me for any substantial length of time and they will tell you that I fall down the stairs at least twice every day. This can be attributed to the fact that my stairs are very steep and relatively small, so when I take a normal step down them, it covers about 2 and a half steps, meaning that my foot will catch the edge of a stair and I will slide or fall down the remaining steps. This happens when going up, as well, which is even more aggravating. A few days ago, I slid down the stairs which drove my knee into the wall, and caused my head to crack against the bannister. This happens a lot. As in daily. 

     It isn't just falling down the stairs, though. I have proven myself to be unparalleled in my ability to trip over, drop, bang my head/shin/elbow on, or break absolutely anything I come across and otherwise clumsily inconvenience myself. I don't know if I'm just astoundingly uncoordinated or if some higher power has it out for me, but it is incredibly frustrating.
