Embarrassing, Accident and Health: Sorry

Sorry

Today, I tripped while walking down a large flight of stairs. As I fell forward, I instinctively reached out and grabbed onto one of the guys walking up. I ended up taking him and two other people down with me, earning myself a great many disgusted glares as I dusted myself off. FML

Today, I was late to a lecture when I tripped up the stairs. With a few hundred people already staring and laughing at me, I started to curtsy to my "adoring fans" but instead fell backwards down the massive flight of stairs. FML

Today, I fell down a flight of stairs. The guy behind me was kind enough to ask if I was okay. He then called his friends over so they could laugh at me. FML

Today, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML

Today, I tripped and fell going up the stairs, not once, but twice at work as I was leading customers through our building. I actually got bruises. FML

Today, I was walking down the street, when I saw a guy in front of me trip and fall forwards, and I quickly jumped forward to steady him. Apparently he thought he was being mugged, and threw his head backwards into my face, leaving my nose a bloody mess. FML

Today, with a single misstep, I managed to send myself and several others tumbling down a stairwell at work. An ambulance ended up having to be called for one lady. FML

Today, I was at the gym and I tripped on the treadmill. Not only did I fall off the machine, I also managed to knock over two other people's water bottles and send them flying across the room. FML

Today, I got expelled from school. I was walking down a flight of stairs when I tripped and bumped into a kid ahead of me by mistake. He fell forward and took half a dozen people down with him. The staff think I did it on purpose, and there's talk of charges being pressed. FML

Today, I tried to "trip" and fall into this guy I've had a crush on. I missed and fell on my face. He stepped over me and kept walking. FML

Today, at work, I tripped and fell face-first into a food display. As I picked myself up, totally humiliated, I tripped again and fell right back into it, earning a bunch of pitying looks from nearby customers. FML

A pile of twigs breaks less easily than a single twig on its own. Great reflexes OP.

Well, I'm sorry nobody even asked if you or any of the other people were alright. People are rude, and it's not your fault you tripped. Shit happens, y'know?

Don't feel bad, OP. I did that, too. Only when I reached out to stop from falling, I grabbed a tall blonde's huge fake rack. She had to go in and have one replaced. Ended up costing me a good chunk of change. She did let me keep the one they took out as a memento, though.

OP is taking a trip and bringing everyone along with him. What a guy.

Reflexes aren't exactly something you have control over. That being said, I'd still be pissed off if that happened to me.

I wouldn't be if I didn't get hurt, I might have even thought it a little bit funny. Life happens.

So, no one wants to take the fall for you?

And this is why I have a phobia of stairs. Hope you're ok OP. This isn't your fault although their annoyance is also understandable. At least no one got seriously hurt.
