i'm such a retard. you guys will get a kick out of this.

so in despite of the hellish week, this brightened my day yesterday (even though it's at my own expense).

1. the virgin megastore corp offices are across the street from where i work, so i had to go there to drop off something for one of my directors. i'm in a bit of a hurry because i had so much work to do, so as i'm crossing wilshire blvd, i trip. and fall flat on my face. now, you have to realize that the intersection of where my work is located is quite busy, so there were cars honking and hollering at me. and this guy who was crossing the street asked me if i was okay. i just looked at him and said, "dude, i just ate shit on wilshire blvd. in front of everyone, does it look like i'm okay?!" and scurry across the street because i'm dying of embarassment.

now i have bruises all over from falling. i swear i was sober.

2. EVEN BETTER.... i had to drop off some more stuff in storage during my lunch break. i was in a hurry because yesterday was really busy at work... and as i'm trying to leave work around 6, i couldn't find my keys. so i was like wtf, and i walk to my car. then i realized i locked my keys in the car. okay fine, i'll just call triple a. BUT I LEFT THE CAR RUNNING. so i had one of the parking attendants help me pry my window open a bit so i could unlock the car.

now granted i have shit luck with my damn car, but this tops it all because it's not like it got stolen, broken into or anything... i just pulled a dumbass move and locked my keys in the car while the car was still running. wow.

i'm dying of embarassment, i can't believe the situations i get myself into sometimes... go ahead, laugh, i sure as hell need it. HAHA!

Watching someone trip and fall is the funniest shit in the world.

A friend of mine and I once watched the security tape of this woman tripping—not on the curb, but the ramped/low incline part of the curb—in front of a store. Rewind, slo-mo, pause, play, rewind.

This is so true. I remember something similar back home; just cruising around and I see this lady take a header and just spill. I just could not stop laughing. I swear when I'm in the pissiest mood all I need is someone to land on their ass to boost my spirits.

One New Years Eve I saw a 'rather stout' woman slip on the icy pavement, go flying into the air and land on her back with her floaty dress over her head and her big fat pantyhoed legs floundering in the vertical.

The fact that I was drunk meant I didn't hold back on the guffawing.

How can you lock your self out of a car that is still running? Surely you need to take the keys out the ignition to lock the door?

that's what i'm saying. if i was at the stoplight and saw what happened to me to someone else, i would've died of laughter. that's why i was so embarassed.

sometimes when you're having a bad week though, stupid shit needs to happen to make you lighten up.

i have a '95 civic, so i can lock the door by pushing the lock button down while pulling the handle. and it doesn't beep if i still have the keys in. don't ask me why i didn't notice... i've been completely scatterbrained this whole week so that's probably why.

I laugh when I fall too.

THAT'S DRIDICULOUS!!!

You're such a dork. And that's why we loves ya!

Someone really needs a day off.

I did that at college...in front of a dorm, while picking up my fiancee like 2 years ago. It was so bad, middle of the day, I was blocking traffic, and it was by the dining hall, so everyone was pissy, and laughing. Sometimes you just have to smile though.

My mom had a Ford Ranger truck 5 or 6 years back, and locked her keys in it at the grocery store. I came out with a coat hanger, got the back window open, and was small enough to climb in through it.

I just find it more amusing that you left the car running and locked the door and walked away.

How the???

So, the car was still running when you returned, or was it out of gas?

Last week at the pub after finishing up w/ UB the DJ, it's 2 a.m. and I've got all my stuff packed up and have one of the guys I know help back me down the stage, which is about 6-7 inches off the ground.

I didn't realize this guy'd been drinking since 9 and when he backs down the back wheels of my wheelchair, I've got a reclined center of gravity, he didn't grab my handles to keep me upright and I go spilling over backward and land smack on the back of my head on a tile floor.

He and another guy got me upright and I was a little woozy for a sec, but was more embarassed over the whole thing. Imagine me, on my back like a turtle with my feet straight up in the air.

Classic.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here & say if Wilshire isn't the busiest street in LA it has to be 2nd or 3rd.

The car keys reminds of a time my dad & I went to a Kings game at the Forum. Right as I was getting out of the passenger seat I realised he left the car on & the keys in the ignition, but he had already gotten out & locked his door. I saved his lucky ass. So I started driving after that & one time before the 105 opened sometimes we took to 405 to Manchester. Well this time I got off on Manchester but 1 key thing, I never transfered to the 405 from the 110. So we got off in Watts not Inglewood. Didn't even realise our mistake till we hit the bottom of the ramp. I think after that we took Pairie the whole way up till the 105 opened. We get into our hockey talks before games.

my sentiments exactly... funny thing was, i thought i heard an engine running and i just shrugged my shoulders and continued to walk away. luckily i park in a garage structure with strict security at work, otherwise i would've been fucked!

and the gas wasn't empty. bless hondas for good gas mileage.

I've locked my keys in my car before while it was running. I was listening to Stern before work, and I was trying to listen as long as possible so I opened my door and started getting out. And like an idiot I started to shut the door. As it was closing I realized and I was like, "NOoooo!"



So fucking funny.

that was hilarious

um, hey cp, what the hell is that(avatar)?

It's even better when I imagine it's the similar-looking gal from the printer that royally fucked up my job today. I've probably watched this 20 times today.

the noises she makes are just great.

a photo of me peeling my skin glue off of my incision from my appendectomy.

that's the best.

i trip all the time when i'm delivering mail but don't fall all that much, unless it's going up some stairs. this one time i was walking across someone's lawn and right at the edge of the lawn where the lawn meets the sidewalk the landscapers had cut the grass so it left a bit of a ledge. i stepped on it wrong and stumbled for like 20 feet before i actually fell down. it was pretty hilarious.

:lol:

Thanks for the laugh, pumachick. Sharing these stories should bring some happy karma your way.

Only thing that would have made the trip story better is if the guy who asked if you were okay was a really nice top executive from Virgin who offered to make your day better by giving you some free CD's. :)

Have you ever notice that when someone trips, they always turn around and give the sidewalk a dirty look, like it jumped up and tripped them on purpose? :lol:

BLB

CP: That avatar is gross!
