...I laugh.

You can't analyze it. It's just funny. Even if they get hurt, I still laugh while I am helping them.

I'm just twisted. But, come on, it's funny.

    People falling down is almost always funny.




    Just waiting for that one serious sally to come in here and tell me how heartless I am...

    they say laughter is the best medicine. So do you think it helps them when you laugh because they fell and got hurt??? haha you would laugh at me all the time I trip over my own feet at least five times a day

    It is probably no help at all to them. Depends I guess.

    I tripped on the sidewalk after my run last night. Lost my balance, but didn't fall. Of course, it was when the ONLY car I saw all night drove by. I laughed at myself...

    If it makes you feel any better my now 7 year old once tripped on a wire holding a yard decoration down while we were out Trick or Treating. He was almost 2 at the time and he did a major face plant in the person's yard. He wasn't hurt, but I nearly peed myself laughing as I helped him up. It was just funny to watch him. :ohwell:

    I am the same. I can't help it.

    It's a reaction that I can't control.

    Tripped on my way downstairs a couple of years ago. Had a double Jack Daniels OTR in my hand. Didn't spill a drop. I've got skills.

    I usually walk into walls, or garbage cans, not so much into tripping.

    Me too!! There was the funniest episode of Rob Dyrdek Ridiculousness the other night and the segment was called "Ghost Hole" where people just randomly trip over nothing visible. I about peed my pants laughing!!

    OK, you want a fall story, here you go...
    My Aunt and my Sister-In-Law's mother were in a car together and got hit head on. They both died. The viewings were held on the same night about 2 blocks from each other. My husband and I wanted to show support to my S-I-L, so we left my aunt's viewing to walk down to her mom's viewing. Right in front of the funeral home (in the grass), I tripped and did a face plant. Did I mention this is on the busiest street in town? Me and my family got a big laugh out of that and it did relieve some tension.

    Yep.
    I've fallen up the stairs...many times.
    My son fell over once while sitting down....we still don't know how he managed that but it makes me laugh every time I think of it.

    Haha reminds me of my friend's wedding. I was coming out of one of those fancy trailer type porta johns (outdoor farm wedding), and I complety missed the step and fell face forward into the ground, I had a beer in my had, jumped back up to about 50 silent staring faces, yelled out "I didn't spill a drop of beer" and everyone laughted and clapped.

    Oh my I can't tell you how many times I have to catch myself from fallen. I fell outside one day while jogging and I couldn't do nothing but laugh, but first I had to look around to make sure no one was around. Thank god it was 7 am on a Saturday....lol

    Thank goodness! I thought I was the only evil person that actually laughs out loud when people trip. I mean, come on. It is funny!

    My sister was just telling me she actually saw a guy slip on a banana peel the other day LOL. Good thing I didn't see that one.

    I am also a klutz and trip all the time, and I don't mind if anyone laughs when I do!! :laugh:

    I think its just natural to laugh. If someone laughs at me i don't trip. One time I was walking with this superfine girl and fell on my hiney. She laughed until she cried!

    I laugh too. Actually, I laugh whenever someone hurts themselves, including myself. I cry first, then laugh after.

    Unless it's an emo, then I don't laugh. I find band-aids.

    This is why I still watch re-runs of the **** Van *kitten* Show....sometimes he trips on the ottoman, sometimes he doesn't....

    I haven't tripped in a while but I did fall over on my bike yesterday while trying to take a picture of the sky (there was a storm brewing.) I laughed at myself and peddled on. Elderly people falling? There is NOTHING funny about that.

    ...I'm one of those über-empathetic people who feels everyone's pain... so I have trouble even watching "America's Funniest Videos"... I can't stop cringing!

    I'm just like my mom...

    I didn't trip today, but I did go over on my ankle. Thankfully nobody saw me. But I now have a cast from my knee to my toes, 'cause I've managed to fracture my meta- whatzit.
    And yes I did laugh, I'm such a clutz.:laugh:

    3 weeks ago at the airport, i saw a large lady running to catch her flight from down the corridor.
    As soon as she got about 5 meters away SLAP faceplant on the ground, so close to me i burst out laughing and people around me looked at me disgusted!

    i thought it was hilarious!
