Murphy's Law: Foot Clause

Have you ever tried to put your arm our and line your hand up with a bin, so that when you drop the piece of rubbish you have in your hand it falls straight into the bin? It can be tricky. Sometimes you need to put your head above your hand and close one eye so you can line it up. But even then you can get it wrong. And if there's a cross-wind you don't stand a chance.

Dropping things into something the size of a bin can be difficult. Then why is it, then whenever you drop anything at work IT LANDS ON YOUR FOOT!

There must be some hidden law of physics that means if you're doing any lifting you will manage to drop items, without even aiming, onto something so much smaller than a bin, but it always gets you.

I say this because we were moving computers around today and I got the corner of one right on the left foot. Thankfully it's my least favourite foot, but still.

I need some safety toe boots like the ones at www.workbootsusa.com. With those things you'd be dropping things on your foot all the time and you'd never feel it.
