I got the idea of this thread after reading Jess' "clumsies" thread.

Are you one of those people who can't contain your laughter when you see someone slip, trip and fall? Like on slippery roads on winter days or the like? Do you find it funny? Hilarious? Do you feel somewhat bad about finding it funny (even though you really can't help it)?

I'm usually one of those ppl: if I see someone slip and fall (esp during the winter on icy, slippery roads) or someone trips and rolls down a flight of stairs or falls off a bicycle (or tips over to the ground with the bicycle cause the road was too slippery) I burst out laughing. I try not to be rude about it, so I usually try my best to contain it or just look away, but it rarely ever works (though I do walk up to whomever fell to ask if he/she is okay).

I can't help but find it hilarious even when it happens to me, and I laugh to my heart's content in spite of the pain I might be in.
I've always been this way, and I don't really know why. I guess people look so funny when they slip, trip, fall, walk into things etc. And what I find immensely hilarious is when the roads are slippery and someone slips and flaps their arms in circular motions until they fall on their butt.

So, does this ever happen to you? Do you find it funny/hilarious when someone slips/trips/falls etc? To the extent of you laughing out loud?

Be honest! :chuckle:
