Do you laugh when people fall over?

Question

I know it's terrible but i can't help it. I don't laugh because they might've hurt themselves, it just looks funny.

Answer 1

Do you push them?

Answer 2

lol. i cannot help but laugh when i see someone fall, trip, walk into something etc.  

Answer 3

I'll only laugh if they did it on purpose or if I know that they're perfectly fine.  If they do a funny dance while tripping and end up in a pile of feathers, that would be something to laugh about.  Just don't laugh if they might have hurt themself or if it is a person who gets agry over little things.

its automatic for most people to laugh, i wet myself when i see people trip or fall

Answer 11

No I don't

Answer 12

Yes it is wrong to laugh at them. But it's hilarious. I try to hold in my laughter. Sometimes I laugh at myself when I fall.

Answer 13

I crack up! Anyone remember the Route-master Bus, when you could jump off while it was moving? lf so, how many people have you seen fly off and kiss the concrete? l`m laughing just thinking about it !

Answer 14

Depends.

Answer 15

Hmm... no i dont. maybe sometimes



They were probably a bit careless or are either wearing hard shoes to walk on but if they laugh about it then its ok. Sometimes people get embarassed and its better to pretend you dont notice so that they don't feel as bad

it depends where you are. When i tripped over in the Middle east, tunisia they really cared and didn't laugh. In britain its slightly different. They laugh but you just have to accept that and walk on.

Answer 16

I dont see what's funny , I guess it's just that sick British humour again, laughing & making fun of others that are different to you or at other peoples misfortune. Personally I cant stand people like that.

No I dont have a chip, Im just fed up with that kind of nonsense. It's all over the telly...look laugh at the stupid eastern european he cant speak English properly. Look that fat woman fell over at the bus stop. Look at that new kid he looks funny. What is wrong with you people? Maybe some people have seen terrible things, that why they dont laugh at things like bears falling out of trees, because they hate seeing people & animals suffer & actually care about other creatures. So the next time you see someone fall over help them up, dust them off & send them on their way in disbelief that actually there are a few good people out there. Oh & take care!!

Answer 17

Sometimes... if you can see that they haven't really hurt themselves. Once, when i was at school this girl fell down like one step and i thought it was funny and all, but then next day she came back with a cast on...i felt so bad lol. I try not to laugh , haha, unless its my brother!

Answer 18

As with most of the other answers, people will say it's mean to laugh at things like that. It is, however, human nature to laugh at the discomfort of others. You might note that every joke that has ever been originated is based on the discomfort of someone or something. Perhaps it's someone who doesn't understand something and gets laughed at, or maybe it's the clown who falls over his own feet. No matter what it is you're laughing at, it comes at the discomfort of someone else.

Answer 19

yes it makes me fall to...... well fall over laughing

Answer 20

it depends on the person and the circumstances

Answer 21

Only if its down a flight of stairs :D

Answer 22

Of course you laugh......out loud and hysterically......it's the law. It's also obligatory to point.  

Answer 23

I do.  Even more so if it's a friend.

But when I'm done laughing I help them back up.

Answer 24

No, I do not laugh.  Actually, I will help the person and make sure he/she is alright.  

Answer 25

Not normally, but I have to admit I nearly busted a gut when my husband fell at the bowling alley a few months ago. I'm a klutz and very well known for taking spills at the worst possible moment. He laughs at me and teases me about it a LOT (for 27 years!), so I didn't feel too bad about laughing at him as he was trying to get up off that well oiled bowling lane.

Answer 26

well, uh yea but not if it's someone close to me

Answer 27

I only do when the person is drunk or a person who ought to know better. Not at elderly or persons with disabilities.

I had a cousin with a disability and mum was a carer at a school as well. Some people are really nice and cheerful in spite of horrid challenges and deserve respect.

Answer 28

yes! and i love it when ppl. look around and act as if nothing happened.  also, it's hillarious when the clumsy person tries to find an excuse that is mimed out for others to see as to why they tripped

Answer 29

Yes!

YBF! Is a great programme.

Answer 30

I laugh when I fall over.  

Answer 31

God forgive me, but yes, I laugh when people fall. It's the WAY they fall that's funny. Old people don't count.
