Hi Guys - Another question. as the title says. With me
I would tend to analyse and think why did I fall,
Did I walk into a slippery patch,
Is it because I walked too fast
Should I change how I walk

Just giving you an idea of my thought processes, I am heavily into probabilities and analysing why things happen. Sometimes though things happen because they were meant to....
 
I'm afraid I would just say something rude and then wonder how on earth I was going to get up on my own, cos I can't any more.:(

That goes for me, too.
 
I'm the same as Kate. Last time I did fall over after the rude words I couldn't get up until the OH helped me.

You're lucky - my OH just says "what the ... are you doing down there? Get up for heaven's sake everyone is looking!
 
Firstly swear
Secondly check for damage to my skin & tights
Thirdly look for an defect that caused me to go on my arse

Then curse some more.

Yup I'm a classy bird
 
What Tina said. Only most likely a worser one than that! Then inspect myself.

Let's face it, usual reason I fall is I trip up cos I wasn't looking where I was going.
 
I'm in the KateR school and would really struggle if I fell. The air would be blue around me and any sailors blushing.
 
Tee hee hee - I other words I can over analyse....It's nice to see the different responses
 
Start of with a F**** word, then get so bloody depressed as the claims direct calls would start bothering me.:D
 
When i fell off someones ladders the other week the air was realy blue cos it knacked proper !! 😱
 
I tripped on a pavement a couple of weeks ago and made a rather ungraceful landing on the ground,I didn't say very much as I was more embarrassed than anything else but I was grateful that I had heeded my late mothers advice to 'Always wear clean knickers in case you fall down!'
