Well I'm tall enough to do it...I clocked my head on a cigarette display sign(you know the over the counter ones) hard enough to cut the side of my head under the hair...I have now joined the ranks of the chronic(meaning repeated)head injury sufferer since moving to Korea. No day or week is complete without doing the duck, the bow, the stoop, and the ow. In addition I took down one of the signs at home plus with my head.

So you knock a sign down.

What do you do pick it up or leave it there so they can figure it out?

Last term our school installed plasma TVs that hang from the ceiling at the front of the classroom. The bottom is usually somewhere between 5' and 5' 10". I've quickly learned the hard way to watch myself when I stoop down and rise up again around them.

I lived in Japan for 3 years. I'm 183cm tall. The doorways in Japanese houses are 180cm high. I lost count of the number of times I banged my head against the door frame while going to take a whiz in the middle of the night...

-Its easier to remember ALWAYS duck vs in Korea SOMETIMES duck.

I always open cabinet doors (above my sink, in my bathroom) only to duck down to open the cabinets by your knees. On the way up, I always catch my head on the corners of the cabinet doors that were left open.

ouch.
