Mr. Wrong said:A buddy of mine totally trashed himself two summers ago at the beach. Headfirst dive into an empty pool at a rental house. Total maniac.
So yeah, this guy... seems so calm, humble, and chill on the surface. 😁

Happened to a guy I know, too. He was standing on the steps outside a Starbucks when some jerk shoved him from behind; he went headfirst down the stairs with his hands in his pockets. Now he’s got a massive scar right between his eyebrows.
The all-time Hall of Fame for falls:
1. The absolute most legendary and embarrassing: I was in a packed college cafeteria, stepped on a stray french fry, and just wiped out—flailing my arms everywhere (holding a plate of pizza, mind you) and sliding several feet across the floor. 🤣 My boyfriend tried to catch me, obviously failed, and laughed so hard I could barely get up off the ground. Needless to say, I bolted out of that dining hall at light speed. 😳
2. When I was drunker than a sailor, I fell into a concrete hole about a foot deep near my high school—right by the apple tree—because I thought it was only like 10cm deep and tried to sit down. 😵 That same guy from the first story thought I was dead and nearly had a heart attack, until he heard me dying of laughter somewhere down in the dark. 😬 My knees were absolutely shredded and bloody, but luckily, that was it.
3. Walking to the dining hall with my boyfriend (the same one. Looking back, I have my doubts. He really used to sweep me off my feet 😍 )—we were running late, he yanked my arm to hurry up, I tripped over the base of a bollard, took flight, and while he tried to steady me, I realized my head was heading straight for a metal post. I threw myself sideways mid-air, knocked him into me, and absolutely demolished my knee.
4. We went to a punk show at a local fire station, got off at the wrong stop, and a whole crowd of us ended up tumbling down this massive ditch no one saw coming, umbrellas and all. My friend was actually super proud of herself because she managed to pull a full somersault—something you couldn't even do in gym class 😬—but then she died when she tripped over me (she didn't see me sitting on the ground 🙄 ) and landed right on my umbrella. 😢
5. On a middle school field trip in the woods, a friend and I burst out of a thicket onto the trail, lost our footing, and slid down the slope on our stomachs for a few feet. She was gripping my ankles the whole way. 🤣
