I don’t know where I got it from, because it doesn’t happen with my siblings at all.
I will:
* walk through a doorway and brush my shoulder against the doorframe (I am only 5' 1.5" / 1.55m, and small in build);
* pick up a vessel to drink from and miss my mouth, pouring the contents down my front;
* open eye-level wall cabinets straight into my own face;
* shut a door with one hand while the other hand is still on the door frame;
and
* open doors into my own knees.
And all this while sober!
My Japanese friend, Satoshi Kitamura (now a famous children's book illustrator), has even given me a nickname in Japanese — o-chyo-ko-chyo-i, which means “The Clumsy One”.
