At Grazia HQ, there are a lot of clumsy people. We all had stories to share about being a bit of a klutz, so we compiled a list for all the clumsy girls out there to unite in our inability to hold things without dropping them, walking without tripping up, and keeping an iPhone for more than two weeks.

-
You could fall at any moment over your own feet

You're not allowed bottled beer because it will fizz over
-
A trip to the gym is like bring on Ninja Warrior - every time you visit, you find yourself in mild peril

25.. You've poked yourself in the eye with your mascara at least once.
