Embarrassing - I fell over on my run yesterday (I am not terribly well do-ordinated). Was next to a park and there was a family right next to where I fell loading up their car who totally ignored me and someone else a bit further down the road. Was quite surprised no-one checked I was ok - I got up and carried on.

Dh reckons they just didn't say anything coz they realised I was embarressed.

I'm always scooping people and shopping off pavements. You just do, don't you?

Unless it's London. I feel at Chiswick Park station on the wet floor and gashed my knee open. Nobody stopped or helped.

Yet when I did a spectacular dive and roll with my toddler in Tesco when she pelted for the door about six people insisted on checking I was ok while I insisted I was fine. That was Wales though where everybody talks to you. I'm half Welsh :)

Are you okay now OP?

I once slipped on some ice off the curb into oncoming traffic- a guy waiting for a bus right in front of me didn't even bat an eyelid. Some people are just shit.

YANBU - I work in a restaurant which has two floors. I was going up to the top floor (empty handed luckily!!) misjudged the top step and landed flat on my face in the restaurant. To my surprise nobody looked up to see if I was ok or even acknowledged that I was sprawled across the restaurant floor!!!

Me personally, I'd always stop and see if somebody was ok after they'd fallen, it's just human instinct?
