when your entrusted with a three tier high tray of cupcakes and instructed to walk to the house next door, having made it all the way to the next house they all slide off as you break concentration for a minute to ring the doorbell!
or missing your mouth with a cup of tea, thats a personal favourite!

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
You know you're dyspraxic when you thought of a bunch of examples for this post, then spent 5 mins trying to remember them...
Aha! You know you're dyspraxic when you look at your rota at work to see you're in early the next day, only to turn up at the normal time anyway and get told off.
When you are asked to go to the shop to buy something after work, but you only buy what you want.
When your mum entrusts you with her PIN, but when you get to the cash machine you've forgot it. Worse, you forgot to bring your phone to enable you to phone her to ask again, resulting in you going home and going for a second time.
When you forget to do your timesheet 4 weeks in a row...
When you leave the house without your bus pass... twice.
And finally, when you scuff your new shoes two days after you had them because you keep kicking things accidentally... -rage-

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
Mmm bump on my head today as I had a drink last night an misjudged the head room getting intio a car I've got into loads of times...
Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
When u have an irrational fear of doors...theyre just soo complicated to walk through unhurt. Then theres being picked last in team sports. forgetting what u went upstairs to get then go back down only to remember (that process can be repeated many times in my case b4 i write the thing down)
Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
When you spend X amount of time reading 14 pages of "You know you're dyspraxic when..." makes you giggle and the laptop slides off your lap...
And not just that... manages to land on your foot on the corner and stab you in the toe...
Which is still hurting from when you were trying to leave the bedroom this morning and opened the door onto your foot...
*Face palm*
Oh and when you face palm... you poke yourself in the eye!

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
Ouch! I feel for you. Hope ur allright. I have one of these days at least once a week. Like bashing my knee lasrt week off the door, and then yesterday, clasically bashing my knee...in exact same place, i might add..off the side of the bed. It was still recovering from the time before!
Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
It's like our bodies can't be bothered to recover so they just get re-bruised!!
My new one... When I'm at work I'm on a team of around 14, When I go get drinks its sometimes up to 7 drinks to bring back (Which as our trays only have 6 holes for cups includes some serious balancing issues...)... went up, 7 hot drinks, and we have this fiddly cartridge machine thing, didn't write it down so I sped in and grabbed all the cartridges before I had a chance to forget which ones, put them neatly next to each cup and did the same adding milk and sugar...
Got complimented for being hyper organised with the fancy system to get all the drinks done... stack everything on the tray AND balance a last one on the spare place... carry it back to my section (entire other side of the office) Not trip or walk into someone on the blind corner.... deliver every drink to each person, get every one right, don't spill anything... go back to my desk sit down...
Go to drink my drink...
Only to realise I still have the same empty cup that I had had when I got up and asked people if they want drinks...
Oh and is frustration managed to accidentally kick the lever on my chair that makes it shoot down and bash my elbows on my desk...
Tomorrow I bring in a bottle!
(… I hope)

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
This thread has certainly brighten the start of a very long writing dissertation day!
OK, for me I know I'm dyspraxic when I've not tied my shoe laces right the third time. I've buttoned up my shirt with the wrong button meaning I have one or even two left at the end! I trip up the stairs. I misjudge the distance when on a driving lesson and ave to break really hard; making my instructor head-butt the windscreen. Being too heavy handed with things so I make so much noise, even though I try hard to be quiet. Having to ask someone to repeat themselves over and again because that kid's crying is driving me nuts. Having no idea which way is left or right, to such an extent that I have bright coloured post-its in the card with 'L' and 'R' on them, which were actually wrong way round first of all!

Re: You know you're dyspraxic when
This topic so made me smile but also so made me realised am not alone.Ok- You know you're dyspraxic when...
You so pleased coz have made cake- taken hours to make, pop it in the oven, leave the kitchen for only a minute, then come back and the cake still on the side. The white plastic weighing scales are happily burning though!!!
You go to the theatre in the centre of Glasgow, go to put your parking ticket in the machine only to realise you have put your library card in there instead. The machine is now jammed up and the queue is getting bigger.When you talk into the intercom to explain to the nightwatchman, he is most unhappy.
On your first ever temp job, in a packaging factory-you have to pack five packets of custard into a box. The packets are coming down the conveyor belt at you and it all gets too quick and you realise you have jammed the line up.The alarm sounds and everyone is sent for a break and is pleased.You are told that it's first day nerves-don't do it again.You get back and what happens!?!.This time, everyone groans!You are not invited for another day's work there the next day!!
