Embarrassing, Awkward and Students: You tried, yay!

You tried, yay!

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 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 heading to class with all of my books and papers in my arms. To prevent tripping and falling down the stairs, I decided to take the elevator. On my way there, I slipped and fell because my books were blocking the wet floor sign. 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

Making an entrance

Today, I was late for class. I have extreme social anxiety, so I quietly slipped into the huge, packed auditorium, trying to be as quiet as possible. When I was almost to my seat, I accidentally kicked a teacher's coffee down the steps. The entire class looked at me and some clapped. FML

Today, I tripped on the way back from collecting a prize in front of 600 students and their parents. I got more applause than I did when collecting the prize. FML

Today, I was running late to class and slipped down a staircase. Not only did nobody help me, but when I got up I noticed an old man staring at my ass. FML

I'm not okay

Today, I went to a coffee shop. As I headed over to stand in line, I tripped over my own feet. I got back up, then tripped up yet again. Everyone was staring, and I was so mortified that I went to leave. I then struggled with the door under their glares before realising it opened the other way. FML

Today, I realized that I can still do the splits. Why? Because I fell down an entire flight of stairs, everyone in the hall saw me land and applauded. Someone even shouted "and she sticks the landing." 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

Today, I had to present a powerpoint in front of my class. When I was finished, no one clapped. On my way back to my seat, I slipped on a pencil and fell straight on my face. That's when everyone clapped. FML

OP- Ah, yes, that curtsy would have been something to see! Just leap up, broken leg, pelvis, bleeding from multiple wounds, whatever, take another bow and say "I meant to do that!!"- You'll be flooded with applause and your day will take a turn for the better that no trip to the hospital and no time in traction can take away from you!!!

How about don't be late and don't be a smart ass! ...and learn to fall with style.

How does one fall with "style?"

23- With a properly groomed wig, skimpy black dress, and the aroma of Chanel No. 5, that's how!

Trying to make a joke out of an embarrassing situation counts as "being a smart ass" now? o_O

You can only fall with style if you yell "To infinity, and beyond" first.

The first time you didn't deserve it. The second time you did, don't be a smart ass.

OP was just trying to be a good sport and laugh at herself. Hell, id probably be too embarrassed to even look at the people after that.

Tell me how she deserved it.

I don't get why you think she deserved it either. Making light of an embarrassing situation does not make you a smart ass, but rather it shows that OP has a sense of humor.
