While walking... and you suddenly fell... What do you do?... email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life4 weeks ago

Well, this happened yesterday... while walking along the sidewalk... i tripped/fell... and i must say it was very embarassing... but to ssave myself from more embarassment... i stood up looked straighted ahead... and started walking again... i did not look around if people saw what happened... or if someone was laughing... and i am glad i did that... as if nothing happened...

So... something like this happens to you... what do you do?... do you cover your face?... or look around and smile?... do you cry?... or just pretend nothing happened...

haha i remember my friend's girlfriend.. they were both walking on the sidewalk.. then suddenly she disappeared then we saw her sitting with his butt on the ground haha... well we just laughed and got away...

If i fell like that i would stand slowly and say CAN YOU DO THAT!? wahehehe

I am quite the clutz... and this was not the first time that i tripped... and i when i am with friends... i would say that too... but since i was alone during that time... and i know a lot of people saw me... i chose to just pretend nothing happened...

Thanks for the response...

That's very unlucky aaawwww It's ok don't worry and don't think of it too much.. those people who have seen you probably forgot it by now=)

Someone actually said in a very soft voice... be careful... but i did not dare look at the person... for fear that he might be smirking...

Hello aseretdd,

This embarrassing experience happened to me about 15 years ago. I was 'catwalking' and out of sudden I flipped and fell down. My heels stuck in between the pavement and there was a crowd as it was nearby a bus stop. I stood up immediately and 'cat walked' again! I think my face was red that time but to save from the embarrassment, I just pretended that nothing happened and nobody saw anything!


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Wow... you really did it with a lot of grace... and i would have done the very same thing... i don't usually wear high heels... so i think i would trip often if ever i do...

I’ve got used to this by now…my ankles have a mind of their own and I really have lost count of times I have tripped and fell on the road. Its become a habit with me really so now I look down at the road while walking. It’s a very bad posture I know but better than a broken ankle LOL
So used to tripping as I am, I don’t feel embarrassed any more (I used to), I just get up, rubbed the sore part, wait for sometime and then start walking again. I behave as if nothing happened and tripping is as normal as walking.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

I had bad falls of my own... and one was i was pregnant with my daughter... i had to go to the doctor and had an ultrasound to be sure that she is fine inside my womb... no matter what shoe or sandal i use... i am bound to trip... guess we are both clutzy...

Thanks for the response...

I once slipped on a watermelon peel with my hands and legs in the air while walking on the pavement. At the moment what I can see is only the sky. My face turned red.
It was so embarrassing I thought it would be enough to make a cat laugh.
Then I stood up quickly and RAN!!!!
I said nothing. I must run away from the embarrassing place as soon as possible.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Oh my... running made it more embarassing (in my own opinion)... i would have laughed if i saw you do that... but then... situations like that tend to make us not think twice about our actions...

no matter how much it hurts, the first thing i do is stand up on my feet and pretend as though nothing has happened! wahaah!.:)

It is my way of avoiding embarassment. wahah!


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Pretending that nothing happened is like the best thing we can do in such a situation... but there are people who can get away from embarassing situations like that...

Thanks for the response... welcome to mylot and i hope you enjoy every minute of your stay here...

Hi asertedd,

I hope you are alright. happy

If I am in your place I will walk just like nothing happened but my mind may be worrying, anybody noticed or what they are thinking. We don’t bother if any hurting there but the embarrassment is the main thing and can’t be avoided. I may narrate the incident to somebody after reaching home or office I think then I will get some relieflol


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

It was really nothing serious... i experienced a lot worst in the past... but i must admit that most of the time... we don't worry about the pain it caused... but more on the embarassment of knowing that a lot of people saw the incident...

Thanks for the response...

I had a bad and very embarrassing experienced of being tripped in a sidewalk along the main road in our area. I was wearing my high heeled pointed shoes, rushing to get a cab when suddenly i fell down. My pointed heels got into the hole cover's handle. When i looked up, people were staring at me and a jogger asked me what happened and if i am ok. I laughed and laughed and laughed and they all laughed at me too. The jogger helped me get back my feet. I was so dirty then that i went home to change clothes. It was a great one funny -embarrassing moment of my life. I never ever wear the point high heeled shoes.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

I don't remember a time i wore point high heels... i don't think i would be able to manage them... but it is great that you laughed... since that lessened the embarassment and awkwardness... it was nice of the jogger to help you out...

Thanks for the response...


myLot reputation of 97/100. msfrancisco9369 (1620)   ranked 3,922 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Really funny-- the mere thought of the scene always make me laugh. Every time there's a gathering and sharing is focused on most unforgetable and embarrassing moments? you know what is my piece... it is a blockbuster story with action of course that made it more funny.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Well, it is nice that you were able to put that embarrassing experience to good use...


myLot reputation of 97/100. msfrancisco9369 (1620)   ranked 3,922 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

yes, it will alaways be. a funny moment worth sharing. at least i am making my friends happy everytime i share this story of mine.

Oh - thank you for reminding me of a very funny and enjoyable time with my mother. We lived in northern Montana and it was winter. Ice seemed to be every where and it was slick. We were down town to do some shopping. We got out of the car and all of the sudden I couldn't see Mom. I walking around the car and she was under the car.
She yelled at me "I'll have the hose connected in a minute" and whispered "I fell and then slid under here so no one would know. I will be out when I can move. It was funny.


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

That sounds very funny... your mother must have a great sense of humor to do that... you could even send that incident to reader's digest... i guess snow can do a lot of damage... and even create funny moments to remember...

You get up, as normal, and keep that head up high, and walk!

or if you're an american,you sue. lol
i wish i were kidding..i'm not.somebody sued my city and won over a "dangerous sidewalk".

me,i'd most likely laugh over it.
life goes on happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. aseretdd (6841)   ranked 116 out of 37,922 in life  4 weeks ago

Well... even if i want to sue... no lawyer would ever take my case... and if by miracle someone did... the judge would only laugh at my case... since most sidewalks in my country are dangerous... so i would just be called stupid for not being careful...
