FabSwingers.com forum: Dropping things

By (user no longer on site) OP

I've been putting it down to getting old but I seem to be finding more difficulties with using everyday stuff like tv control, opening bottles and jars and don't get me started on child proof washing tabs boxes!

Anyone else have something they struggle to open or use? Or find they can't pick it up without a palava?

My wife, 39, always does this when it's her womanly week, can't help it, things get dropped, she bumps into things. It's kinda funny and sweet and she's always done it.

You women with your hormones are both delightful and a little wierd!

My phone, the amount of times I go to pick it up and end up lobbing it half way across the room.

Not so much dropping things, more like losing things and being a fecking idiot.

I couldn't find my phone the other day, so I was looking for it under the bed......whilst using the torch on my phone to try and find it

I was the same kept dropping things and couldn't hold things so I went to the docs and found out I had carpal tunnel syndrome I'm having physiotherapy and if that doesn't work it's been operation but they won't do both wrist at the same time

Every now and then, usually after a few long days work wise, fatigue sets in days earlier than it used to...generally I can catch a bar of soap in the shower though. X

Trying to open those plastic encased packets they use for toothbrushes is a real hazard.

Terrible eye sight and menopause turned me into the biggest clutz going. If I can drop, spill or knock something over I will do so

I feel your pain brother. The other week I was staring at the coffee table wondering why the hell there was a bottle of milk on it. It was too long before realisation dawned. I retrieved my cup of coffee from the fridge and put the milk back.
