  • Lizzie - I'm sorry that happened to you I would have stopped, given you a towel and a handi-wipe (ALWAYS PREPARED), and driven you to work.
  • I know people can't help it, but I do think it is not nice to laugh when someone falls.

    When I see someone fall, I make sure they're ok and assist them getting up if someone hasn't beat me to it yet.
  • thanks mandalinn- you're like me. everyone at work makes fun of me- but whenever they need tum, immodium, excedrin, a bandaid, whatever - guess who they're calling?! that's right.. ME!

    i can kinda look back on it and laugh. sorta. not really. yeah...

    that said- depending on who is falling... if it's someone i know i may be inclined to laugh at them first, then ask if they're okay second. but i'm a jerk.
    in a real emergency i'd like to think i'd be helpful, but i have yet to be faced with it.
  • I had a couple with their child literally step over me in Atlanta. Way to set an example!
    A guy up ahead of me doubled back and checked on me though.
