I know IWBU but I just couldnt help it

[bogeyface]

I defy anyone not to say "Oh how awful" and then snigger anyway when being told that the road safety day at school has been cancelled because the woman that runs it was hit by a car.

She isnt seriously hurt but needs a couple of weeks off, and the teacher told the kids as a way of illustrating how even the safest people can have accidents.

I am a bad bad person.

Assuming she'll get fired as well?

I'm going straight to hell.

Red Laurie, yellow lorry!

Me and Ds have laughed for a good 3 mins. That's great in a bad way or should it be bad in a great way? Either way it's funny.

DH didn't even bother with the 'oh how awful' he just giggled

Thank you, that's made a rotten day so much better

My Dad worked with a bloke who knocked the works accident book off the light switch where it had been precariously balanced for 30 years - when he bent down to pick it up, he hit his head on the light switch causing a nasty cut (first time the accident book had been used, and it got named in the "cause of accident")

Ahahaha! That's hilariously ironic! Poor woman though, hope she makes a speedy recovery

Oh dear - hope she's OK

Where I worked, years ago, the company invested in a shredder - it was in the very early days of shredders and nobody had even seen one, let alone used one, so the office manager had to give us all a brief training session on how it worked and the 'dos & don'ts' (IIRC they didn't really have any safety features in those days). As he bent over the machine to demonstrate, the end of his tie got caught in it - everybody was too busy falling about laughing as he got pulled closer and closer, fortunately some quick witted type grabbed a pair of scissors and snipped off his tie

If she's off for two weeks, it's not just a minor incident.

YABU.

Laughing at all these tales!! I am so naughty!!

I know someone who works for highways who fell in a pothole whilst crossing the road.
Oh the irony!!

"I know someone called Laurie who was hit by a lorry"

Actual tears.

omg, i just spat my tea out laughing,

I feel very virtuous because I didn't smirk until reading that she wasn't badly hurt.

can I join the convoy to hell
