Some good falling down stories...

dreababyluxe

I came across this article on gawker.com and thought it might be a humorous, and entertaining, thread to start here. Do you have any good stories?

I love gawker but that thread is only meh at best. People's Falling Down stories are like their First Love stories - interesting to them, of passing interest to friends and family and, frankly, tl;dr for the rest of us.

I once fell on top of a hot guy I fancied in a nightclub in Galway. I was very drunk. He didn't marry me.

Now, OP, tell us yours...

When my auntie was getting married, she got a friend to make the wedding cake to save money. Day of the wedding, my dad and uncle went to pick up the cake in her apartment. Uncle falls down stairs and gets covered in cake.
Luckily she saw the funny side to it....:)

I actually got a good laugh out of most people's responses in the comments to that gawker thread but maybe I'm just sadistic and gain enjoyment from other people's pain and embarrassment! Or maybe I just have a sense of humour...

I'm trying to think of some of my funny falling moments worth of posting, but the only one that springs to mind at the moment is something that, luckily for me, noone witnessed and so probably isn't that funny. On my first day at work as a footwear manager is a fashion shop I managed to tumble down 3 flights of dodgy rotten stairs from the stock room and lived to tell the tale (not that I did tell it, I was so embarrassed it being my first day that when the other staff asked what the noise was I said I dropped a few boxes of shoes down the stairs). The pain was agonising but I hid it quite well, bruises, cuts and all.

Yes I am one of those people who have a habit of doing so when drunk or sober without any intention though. Wham, trip my foot on a step and fall down a few steps of stairs. Not very nice if hanging onto a banister for dear life! I'v poor balance sometimes and can just trip myself up even when just standing!:o

I've done both, fallen while going up the stairs and have fallen while going down the stairs. I often think I have two left feet then again If I go up and down a stairs in a hurry I am likely to trip. A plain ground one step wouldn't matter could still trip.

I swear, I attacked the floor!!!

I fell down there just over 6 weeks ago. Broke my ankle in two places, had to have metal put in.

Funny?

one time i was walking through debenhams in cork city when i tripped over my own two feet, down i fell, and on the way in an attempt to stop myself falling i ended up grabbing a rail of clothing nearby, that fell with me, the staff were too busy laughing to help and an old woman barely able to walk was standing over me asking if i was alright....my most embarrassing fall to date!

It depends on the situation. If you fell over a panda that was dry-humping your sister while she tried to smear it in marmalade then yes, that's funny.

Was staying in a friends one night and he took two sleeping tablets before going to bed...he literally took them at the bottom of the stairs and got about halfway up the stairs before falling over the banister onto the floor, where he spent the night.

No, it was while having a knife fight with a ninja dwarf.

Not funny at all.... but one word....

Calcium maaainnnn :pac:

Seriously - don't go eating cheese at night-time but dollop loads of mustard on it to bring out the flavours of cheese, broad daylight will suffice otherwise you'll get nightmares (perhaps falling down the stairs...).

cheese is my dairy need, not millk - milk not good for anyone either... meh
