Why do people have to laugh when I slip on the ice?

Post Reply New Topic

I admit I'd probably laugh as long as nobody's hurt, and offer some assistance in getting back up.

Admittedly it is eye-catching when someone slips over, and sometimes you can't help but laugh, but laughing loud on purpose for the person to hear I thought would be considered ''socially inappropriate'' and ''unempathetic'', just like everything else is. Like I said before, social rules are so complex, so I would have thought laughing at accidents would have to depend on the context, but apparently it doesn't when it comes to slipping over. Or - when it comes to me slipping over.

I guess I'm the funniest person in the world.

''Oh look at that stupid ugly girl over there, she just slipped over on a bit of ice, that's so funny, my sides are about to split into two because of a daft twat falling over on some ice, I haven't seen anything funnier, let's all humiliate that dozy twat until she disappears round the corner, because we haven't got anything better to do than stand here laughing at that ret*d girl who doesn't look or act ret*d but gives off a stupid vibe that says she is more ret*d than a typical ret*d person....''

Stupid people of Essex. Be nice if someone actually told me about vibes and auras before I grew up so that I could get prepared.

Yes, OSB - there are "weather warnings" of 10cm snow. Can you believe that? Everything turns into chaos transportwise, it's ridiculous.

Can you believe "The Only Way is Essex" actually has a Xmas song? How irritating!! !

get some of these:

they are brilliant.

Are you sure its everyone Joe90? Perhaps a few stupid dumb people did it, and because they made you feel so bad, you now dont trust anyone. You are on guard, so then its harder to see that there are nice people who wouldn't laugh, rather they'd be concerned?

Jesus - where are all you Londoners coming from all of a sudden?!

Generally men don't laugh at me (unless they're in their early 20s and with their girlfriend - sometimes young couples tend to judge everybody around them when they're together). They would ask if I'm all right. Women tend to give me the humiliating look as if to say, ''daft twat!'' and make me feel as though I've just broken a social rule. Teenage boys would point and laugh hysterically, intending to make me look even more stupider than I need be. Teenage girls would snigger or giggle loudly. Old ladies would ask if I'm all right because they know the feeling of slipping over. Not sure about old men.

A combonation of being glad it isn't happening to them and becuase they are phycopaths or at least have the traits of one.

People are dicks. That is why.

Try getting up and taking a bow; it'll stop them in their tracks. Plus, if you can laugh at yourself, it ruins all their fun of laughing at you.
