Running and skidding on laminate flooring in my socks.
I'm 30 years old and it is still as much fun as it was as a child.

oh yes!
I recently brought a house and made sure it had laminate wood floors thoughtout just so I could do this!

Its also funny to watch my cat running on it.

Try it when on a wii
It adds a whole new dimension when you are on the bowling game - just don't skid too far and put your arm through the telly.

It is fun...
But your mum won't appreciate it when you run to the door to answer it and instead of opening it, punch your arm straight through the glass as you've forgotten how to stop.

trust me, I know...

Try it
In smooth-soled (or otherwise slippy) shoes going round Tesco with friends/relatives. Their embarassment makes it all the funnier!

T'is also fantastic taking a Trolley around said shop and running/skidding!

this is tenuously linked
to why I wear crocs in the house. My house has no carpets. I once stepped out of the shower to answer the front door. My wet/bare feet slipped out from under me and I fell the whole way down my steep wooden stairs, hitting every single one of them with my back. I ended up in a messy heap at the bottom with a towel barely protecting my modesty while my visitor peered through the letterbox venturing an "er, are you okay?".

Be safe, kids!

I do exactly the same.
Your post is a pleasure to read, as Im still a humble 26 years old, so now I know ive many years of sliding left in me yet!!

If you Mr Sheen it just before
you can double your distances.

Even better
is when you get caught doing it.

At work.

In your Mr Men socks.

By your boss.
