I almost had a Jackie moment yesterday. The washing machine stopped working in the middle of a cycle, and I had visions of it starting up while I was agitating it, trying to start it up again, causing me to fall headfirst into the machine. Then somehow there was a kink in the drainage hose, and the water pressure buildup caused it to start spraying EVERYWHERE from around the gap between it and the faucet...then right around the time I thought I was going to have to pull all the wet, soapy clothes out and drain the machine using a bucket, it started up again.
Then Tyler says "Do I know how to work washing machines?" Later, when they're sitting in mounds of bubbles, "No." That's what I was reminded of.
But there's also a scene when the superhero loses his powers, and he immediately becomes hypersensitive to pain, and the scene is like a string of Jackie moments, until her gets his powers back. The first thing he does is drop a mug because it's too hot. When he meets his wife at her work, he has plasters all over his face.
As for real Jackie moments...a few years ago I used to drop bowls all the time. Cereal bowls, spaghetti bowls, bowls of ravioli...the Coco Pops were the worst. And a few days ago, I knocked over a jar of this scented stuff in the bathroom, and it started to have a strange effect on the sink's surface. When I was thirteen, I was almost as klutzy as Jackie, definitely.
