I am now keeping a running tally of how many times I fall in public and make a total fool out of myself. For example I had to meet with somebody the other night at 8:30, so I took a short nap before and of course overslept. So I got up in a daze still half asleep and was running down the 3 flights of stairs in my apartment building and right when I got to the outer door my foot got caught on something and I literally went flying out the doors right onto my face. It kinda knocked me out for a minute because i flew over 3 steps and it was a long way down to the ground, it was probably one of the roughest falls in my life. To make it worse standing not 10 feet away were about 5 or 6 young Korean girls who were all staring at me with their mouths wide open. I just got up and casually walked away and acted like "what you've never seen an American flying through the doors of an apartment building like superman!"
Another time I was just getting on a bus I put my money in the slot and bent over to get my change and the bus driver looked at me a smirked and hit the gas really hard (okay maybe he didn't smirk at me but I like to think he did) I didn't even have a chance to get my change, the bus lurched forward so hard that it knocked me to my knees and I went sliding a couple feet. Not many people on the bus but it was still really embarrassing, I pulled myself up and just sat down in a seat and put my head down.
Those are just two of the better stories the rest are me tripping on a sidewalk and then me pretending that I was going to run anyways.
