Why is it my bad falls always happen in public...

1) A month ago there were a group of us that had gone back to friends after a night on the lash. I offered to pop outside to open the security gate to let around 20 more stragglers in. I saw the four steps leading down to the courtyard, but missed the step out the front door. Arse over tit down the steps ripping a hole in my trousers and gashing my left shin in the process. As you do, you pick yourself up quick smart and tell everyone you're fine...even though your leg hurts like fcuk.

2) Queuing for the automated ticket machine some years ago at an Underground Station. Got to the front of the queue, purchased my ticket and turned round to head off and catch my tube. There was a little kid, no more than 3 years old almost stood on my heels. With no room for manoeuvre and trying not to tread or fall on the tot, I toppled over to one side much to the hilarity of everyone else queuing. Never touched the kid, but they burst out crying. The mother with no word of apology to me, just bent down to console her child.
