When you fall over in public

Featured Replies

Do you:

 

a) Pretend it didnt hurt at all- In a measly attempt to cover your embarassment you simply stand up, put your head down and walk on as if nothings happened. Perhaps whistling.

 

b) Pretend it hurt a little bit- To acknowledge the pain but not over dramatically, to gain a morsel of sympathy, in order to only hear mild sniggering as opposed to wails of laughter and schoolgirls pointing (Traumatising).

 

c) Pretend it hurt a lot- Thats a classic, to gain lots of sympathy, but it usually leads to subdued sniggering and then a more prolonged wail of laughter and schoolgirls pointing.

 

d) Be honest- Best way to show you really dont give a shit about all the people who saw you fall on your ass. When you do.

 

e) Pretend youve died- Mild sniggering followed by gasps. This takes quite a bit of commitment and possibly an afternoon of laying face down in the middle of the street.

 

f) Die.

Option d)!

 

If anyone chooses f) I laff at their body's defense system.

I am humbled.

 

*meanders off in tears*

Why isnt there an option to laugh too?

 

I tripped on some prick's bag on the train the other morning, in a full carriage on my way out, and I had a good laugh at myself... nobody else did

 

The reason I laughed at myself was because the night b4 I had gone to coldplay, so I was like, stuff that, nothing is going to get me down today!!!

if i'm alone i definitely get up as fast as i can and pretend nothing ever happened.

If i'm with my friends i laugh (because it IS funny)

 

The thing is, i never fall over haha

I voted "Be honest." Because I honestly don't care what people think about my clumsiness.

 

xD

A.

 

I actually done that rather recently. I was walking along, Minding my own business, when this prick called "Ice", lay on the ground and made me fall over!

Luckily, I stopped myself doing a full fall over by outstreching my arms and thinking of scotland.

I then leaped up like a panther, walked into college, limping ever so slightly...but changing that limp into some sort of amazingly cool walk.

I later noticed I'd ripped my jeans and my leg was bleeding.

After that, I was a big jessie and turned into option C a bit.

Where's 'profusely apologize'? I blurt out 'sorry' by default, even if it means I'm apologizing to a chair...

:lol: I'm kinda like that aswell.

 

"Oh shit you alright?

 

"I'm a desk. Of course I'm fine!.....How am I talking?"

 

Ooooooooooh!.

I roll on the floor, and then laugh and then get up

But seriously I try to be honest, if it hurts I will limp for a while, but as most of the time it's because of me being a space cadet, and not looking where I'm walking it's my own fault.

... b.

 

well i don't use to fall over often... last time i can remember was last year, coming back from the supermarket to the students hall, so it was not easy to avoid it, but luckily i "danced" balancing properly so i didn't even fall over. :P

 

so i choose b, it certainly hurt or can hurt a bit, dependig how you fall over.

I laugh a lot, and falling down doesn't really ever hurt, so...

 

WAIT, WAIT, EDIT!

 

I fell over a rolling pit instrument cart thing today in the band room and hurt myself. One of the drummers threw my miniature brush underneath it. :disappointed:

I always try to go for the casual approach. If I can I'll spring back to my feet with flair and walk off energetically...but if I fall all the way down, I pause for a second, smile to myself and look up at whoever's nearby with a bemused "so what?" expression and stand up slowly and steadily. If my leg hurts I just keep from looking the least bit dismayed and keep from limping until I get out of the room.

 

That's my gameplan anyway :P

Actually I always end up laughing at myself

 

A lot

A lot

I put pretend to die, but that was a lie. Usually if I've cut myself I sit on the floor clutching my knee and simultaneously laughing and trying do do these deep pain-removing breaths, which never work. Then I laugh it off (and/or get a Band-Aid.)

I get up, look around, and pretend like nothing happened... until I'm out of earshot of whoever saw me fall; and then I scream in agony, usually. :lol:

I giggle nervously and say "well that was embarrassing" and then I later berate myself as I walk away and people are looking at me funny.

I usually end up having a gigglefit at myself even if it hurt because it looks so silly in my mind's eye. Why isn't laughing an option?

 

And.... you're posting again...

B

 

unless it REALLY fucking hurts. otherwise, i usually try and minimize how much it actually hurts.
