When I find it highly amusing when other people fall over?

[flutterbee]

It just makes me LOL, I can't help it.

pmsl

You'd have loved seeing the woman that I saw the other day.
She'd got her skirt caught in her knickers and was totally oblivious.

I was rofl for hours after
I am cruel at times but we need a laugh.

I actually LOL when I read that.

Can you imagine how much I am looking forward to the snow tomorrow, it should be a laugh a minute.

no unreasonable at all my DS's fav programe is you've been framed his fav bits always involve people falling over or getting wet, i do dread him seeing a little old lady fall over cos i know he will laugh so much and probably ask her to do it again

my dh goes mad cause i cant help it i just laugh
fell myself on sunday brused one side of me and needed stiches in my knee and i was laughing and crying at myself

i think its a nervious thing

pmsl at snow
I might stand on my doorstep tomorrow and watch the fun.

already laughing at the thought

its just basic slapstick...and very funny..will always be funny just so long as its not you!
love it!!!!

LOL what I really love is when they try desperately not to fall over, and either run forward a bit and land head first or legs and arms get thrown around and they just end up on their backsides. LMAO!!

My DH thinks I'm mean but I just can't help it, I totally expect people to laugh at me when I fall over and break into the football chant "she fell over. She fell over"

Not unreasonable at all

Nah it's fine...I went AOT taking DS to school yesterday and I found it funny.

It was nice that someone pulled up to check I was OK tho

depends.

I think it's funny if someone has been pratting about and they come a cropper. Show-offs who get their comeuppance is always amusing! (unless they are seriously injured, then although I may still think it's their own fault, I wouldn't be giggling while the paramedics are working!)

I don't think it's funny if it's a small child. I do not understand how someone can laugh at those you've been framed things when it is a little one being hurt or scared or upset.

Nor do I find it funny if someone is just going about their business and has an accident.

You'd have laughed like a drain at me last Friday then, flutterbee. I bet the workmen who picked me up and stopped dd's hysterical crying thought it was hilarious as well.

Shame about the cracked rib and bruised legs, and the fact that I still can't walk without pain but hey, at least it brightened someone else's day.

I'm always falling over. Two weeks ago I fell onto someones head on the Train [embarrassed]

I was too busy playing on my phone when the train turned a corner and I fell over onto the guy that was sitting on the floor.

Even worse, I couldn't get up. So my ladie bits were on his head!!! I asked is your head alright lol

Lady passenger had to help me up.

Of course I laugh at people falling over but not a week goes by when I don't fall over something

What I find very funny is when someone puts a heel on a dog turd and skids

Ha ha

About 10 years ago my son and I actually saw a woman slip over on a banana skin - it still makes us laugh now.

I may be growing up as the last time I saw someone fall, I actually checked if she was ok. She was sprawled out face down on ice, and I felt her pain & embarrassment.
However, some years ago I had just emptied my suitcase and went to step over it, caught a foot on the inside straps and landed face down like a starfish in the middle of my lounge
DD was the only witness fortunately, but still talks about it.

YABU I had a friend like this. You don't need someone laughing at you when you already feel incredibly foolish.

See I only laugh when it is kids because they are almost always doing something silly and will be just fine (usually).

I wouldn't laugh at an adult though because usually they are NOT being silly and are more liable to be hurt.

I can't help but laugh too but the funniest thing I've seen is when FIL walked into a patio door on holiday with a cup of coffee in his hand - then he did it again a couple days later, this time with a pint of lager. I had to go off into the bedroom to laugh cos no one else seemed amused but I just couldn't help it (grin)

I laugh whether it's an adult or a child. I just cannot help it. I also laugh at myself even if I'm alone. I have fallen over and then been loudly laughing for a few minutes afterwards.

I don't always laugh if my son falls over but I would say that I do find it funny unless it looks as though he'll be really hurt. I try not to outwardly laugh at him because he doesn't like it.

I dont get it, but I had a freind who used to LOVE it.

When people with disabilities fall over, do you laugh harder? Does it move up the scale from hilarious to side-splitting? And if they injure themselves in the process, does that make your day?

Nope - don't get it at all.
Can't bear to watch 'You've been framed' type programmes either.

I'm too busy feeling the other person's pain and humiliation to laugh.
