Falling II

For those who remember my "falling up" the escalator incident. Here's a sequel for you. Today I fell flat on my face on, you'll never guess, a FLAT FLOOR. It was near my workplace again. Surrounded by many people again. Was rushing to work again. But I think this incident has taken 1st place for most embarrassing moment. I blame the new flooring that was just installed recently. Super smooth floor tiles, newly waxed. And it was raining today. I think the caretaker had just mopped the floor too. I figured that when I saw the mop in her hand as she was asking me if I was alright. But I was already fleeing the scene by then. Looking back, I should've been more careful, knowing that I was wearing my slippery shoes. I felt myself slipping, losing balance, and the next thing I knew, I was down on the floor, splat. I once again had my hands full, juggling an umbrella and 2 bags. So I had nothing to break my fall with. Result: floor burn on my knee (was wearing a skirt). At least someone asked me if I was alright this time. Lastly, just for the record, I'm not that clutzy, I've never really fallen before in HK before these two highly embarrassing moments occurred. Weird.

Everybody I told my story to found it pretty amusing. So I hope my utterly embarrassing moment has cheered you up and put a smile on your face. It'll have made it all worth it.
