This is a question Real-life slapstick

Fact: When someone walks into a lamp-post it makes a very satisfying and hugely hilarious "Ding!" noise. However, it is not quite so funny when the post is in the middle of town and you are the victim. Tell us about hilarious prat-falls.

Thanks to Bob Todd for the suggestion

London
On the train to London for the first time, i had a proud moment of being northern, no doubt the ladies would fall for my Lancastrian dialect when i reached my destination...

I got off the train, breathed in the heavy air of the train station and saw the exit... Yes, here i would strut my stuff and impress the locals, i would even develop a semi-swagger to prove that i'm not arsed at the fact that i'm completely alone in the big city.

I walked out onto the street and promptly tripped over the curb as i was texting my mate that i 'had arrived'.. In some sort of mad flail i dove headlong to catch my phone, whilst my legs continued in a kind of half-run, i even caught the phone but spastically juggled it away onto the road causing it to smash and send my battery skidding off into the traffic.

I finally landed after three paces, knuckles first in a sprawl of six foot four inches of lanky limbs and scraggly hair. Right next to three pretty girls.

I vaguely remembering shotuing 'IM FINE!' and then had to dodge traffic to recover the shards of phone, much to the amusement of the girls.

I got a laugh out of them, so it kind of worked out for me... even if it was at my own expense...
