Last night, I was a big jerk at school.
I was walking down the hall, and a girl FELL out of the bathroom. I burst out laughing, before I could restrain myself. I asked her if she was okay, and told her that it seemed like something I would do, to try to alleviate her embarrassment. She looked mortified. I felt so bad for laughing, but it looked ridiculous- she almost took out the bathroom door- and I couldn't help myself.


I need to sit in the "mean" box.
:P

1. So reassuring to discover you are not the only goof ball, isn't it?
:hi:

4. Yes. I fell going UP the stairs at school, last month.
And of course, people were looking.

8. But, you see, you are the right kind of goof ball
Falling up the stairs is goofy, but safe. Falling down the stairs is for morans. :D

2. I have those, "excuse me I am trying not to smile" moments all the time.
But sometimes I can not help myself. I laugh out loud like the squirrel in "Over The Hedge" and then have to ask, "was that out loud?" But I find humor in the strangest places.

5. If I'm in a room with other people, and only one person is laughing,
that person is usually me.
:P

7. Yep, and everyone else is staring at with that...
"How could you" look. But you can see some of them want to laugh too.

3. If you didn't laugh at that you'd be a humorless drone
Laughing in those circumstances is required (I think it's in the Constitution, actually). The only way you could be a jerk in that situation is if you'd photographed her with your camera phone and circulated the picture around campus...
