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

Walking home in the dark
When I was doing my A-levels I had a job as a potwash, this involved a lot of walking home in the dark. I was nearly home and just walking down the main road that led to the housing estate I lived on. This main road was also responsible for transporting water to various housing estates. Water pipes that seemed to posess the structural integrity of a wet paper bag. As such, it was not uncommon for there to be roadworks, as they applied the water-board's equivalent of elastoplast to the shitty pipes.

Anyhow, so there I was, just coming up to one of the temporary traffic lights, just as they change and a car has to stop. This driver was clearly an inconsiderate one, by virtue of the fact he couldn't be arsed to switch his lights to dipped-beam. I'm unimpressed by this, so I'm leering at where I think the driver should be (too dazzled by the aformentioned headlights), leering and walking, until my expression of discontent is interrupted by me falling over the 'temporary traffic lights' sign. At which point the lights changed and the driver fucked off.
