Do you
A) laugh
B) check if they're alright then laugh if not injured
or
C) Don't laugh at all

I fall under B. Saw some guy fall up the stairs at my local shopping centre, I thought 'uh oh, poor guy' then saw him smiling, and that was my cue to laugh.

    Yeah this would be my first reaction too. I was playing racquetball with a good friend of mine when he just SLAMMED into the front wall...I bursted into laughter (he would've done the same) but I also went to his aid to see if he was alright. He got up laughing and asking me how funny that looked.

    I laugh, then feel bad and make sure they are ok, then laugh again if they are. I know, I'm immature. I admit it.

    A

    A couple of days ago my little brother tripped over a chair and went face first into a door. It was the funniest thing I had seen in awhile, but he seems to disagree.

    My usual reaction is D: Laugh, then check to see if they're OK.

    The only things funnier than falling down are someone getting hit in the balls, or getting hit in the face with some kind of ball...balls are funny :lol:

    Defo "B" Unless I'm stopped at a stop sign and I see some guy trying to act cool and jump over a a knee-high fence next to an icy sidewalk. In that situation, I definitely laugh my ass off as he picks himself up off the ground and covertly looks around to see if he was observed ;):lol::lol::lol:

    I only help them up if they're in the same tax bracket as me. If they're poorer, they're obviously just being lazy and need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps. But if they're like me, they're deserving of compassion and assistance.

    All depends on who falls over. Is it someone I know? Someone old?

    If it's someone I know and I know they are ok I laugh, someone old, don't do or say anything (maybe chuckle). Someone I don't know at all and they are ok maybe laugh behind their back ;) :P

    This is not someone falling over but still.....
    I saw someone showing off in thier car late one night, speeding around in an empty carpark and then they did a 180 into a large kerb and got stuck.
    I laughed so much, and yelled out " Woohoo" and clapped and gave a whistle...
    and then the ambulance arrived and it took them 30 mins to get the person in the back of the car stable....
    :? :oops:

    I've done that :? :oops: Very, very painful on the shins. They were bruised for months and I had little dents in them for a couple of years following :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

    On the plus side, the two freshly carved pumpkins that I had been holding survived unscathed :clap::clap::clap: :thumbup:

    Many moons ago, when I was at school, I walked into a traffic light control box outside my school at one of Brisbanes busiest intersections...... In front of peak afternoon traffic. :oops: :oops:

    :lol::lol::lol:I walked into the tail-end of a parked car in a parking lot. I was reading a book and not paying attention :? :oops:

    EDIT: I am a real klutz. I am always finding strange bruises on my body and trying to figure out how I got them :roll:

    First, I kick the stoopid clutz while he's down, then I laugh as I tell him what a waste of skin he is
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    If it's a person I don't like, then I laugh. If I do like them, usually B.

    no it's not really funny but it is kinda.
    no i don't bust out in laughter.
    sometimes though it is god damn funny.

    i try to help when i can.
    if that means pretending i didn't see them because they're embarrassed then that's fine too.
    i don't really care one way or the other.

    i know i've busted my fat ass many times and certain asshole friends think it's fuckin comedy time.
    last year i'm carrying a 50 pound bag of trout food into the hatchery when i slip on some ice and down i go.
    my buddy (dicksuck) thought it was a fuckin riot. i was spread eagle on the garage floor, half of me on the ground and the other half of me all twisted up on a pile of 4x4's...it kinda hurt like a bitch actually...

    If it were me watching, I would seriously be laughing my ass off, cause I just have tact like that...

    But, I say its payback. I tend to be a major clutz!! I fell on the dance floor at my sisters wedding, bouncing my face off of the concrete, and I think everyone just laughed. And then I went outside and tripped on some wood and broke my foot and fell on my face... and again, everyone just laughed. I then walked over and sat on a bench and I tipped it over and my cigarette went in my hair. Again! The fuckers just laugh.
    So, yes. Payback!

    Yes I can confirm it was UP the stairs. It was one of the ones where he tripped up a bit, thought he could recover, then fall. It was good

    We must be decendant from the same gumby gene pool!! :lol: I have given up on the bruises, they are always there........but I do put myself in for these things sometimes.......like when I brought my first dirtbike and realised I was shortsighted and didn't have the $$$ to go and buy glasses or contacts...now that made for some funny stacks!!!!
