Ha! They just won't ADMIT to it!! There's nobody that perfect . . . unless they don't do anything!
After having read all the current replies to this post, I want you to know what a pleasure it is to be among human beings who drop pins, burn themselves on their irons, step on fallen needles, try to catch falling rotary cuters and/or irons. Have some of you also burned a pan of cookies or baked a cake that fell? So many women I know have never, never experienced any of the things mentioned. Being around them is soooo intimidating! froggyintexas

1) If a pin falls in your lap, do not try to "catch" it by slamming your thighs together.
2) Using a hot iron on the wrinkles on your fingers will not make you look any younger.
3) If a needle falls on the carpeted floor, get a flashlight instead of just "feeling around for it".
Time to quit for the day!

Oh I love it, been there, done that to all things listed, and then some!! The 'don't try catching a pin by slamming thighs together' is sooooooo painful to remember..
Good laugh to go to bed on - night all..thanks

Sure wish I would have known the "dangers" of the clover iron when I got mine. Ouch - twice. I see now they have guards on the necks.

Those are excellent tips, especially the one about needles. I once stepped on a needle that had fallen onto the scatter rug beside my bed (my sewing machine was also in my bedroom) when I was getting into bed. I had to call my DH to pull it out as I did a really good job on it. I wish my sewing area had something other than carpeting, however, the entire apt. is carpeted, so that won't work. I will sometimes empty my magnetic pin cushion and run it around on the rug to pick up some of the wayward pins and needles.
