Excuse me Librans. Was wondering how you reacted when you see someone bite the dust in public?

I mean. tripping on/off a curb, wet tile wipe outs, face plant from an overturned carpet corner, ensnared foot under a root, painful ass/tailbone slam after a loss of footing on ice,etc.

I do, nearly every time. How could you resist? I've noticed a good number of other onlookers who are either unamused or even offended by my laughing. Don't get me wrong. I make sure the person didn't break their neck or split their noggin open... other than that I figure they'll get over it.

The other night, I saw this girl at a bar whose high heels slid weird on the floor. She fell. Grabbed on to her boyfriend on the way down. She dragged them both face first into a hot pizza on the table next to them. Totally pwned. I laughed so hard, my chest started to heart from gasping for air and I had to run to the bathroom so I wouldn't piss my pants.

If it looked like an extremely painful fall I might wince before I laugh, but I always laugh. People do give me odd looks sometimes for laughing but I give weird looks back... "How can you not be laughing at that?"

I have no idea why they put the video to this song but whatever. I don't think car crashes are funny (usually) but the rest of these clips aren't bad.

more! more! more!

Ok, so it isn't as funny on video but some of those are good.

Yeah I laugh too as long as someone isnt seriously hurt it can be hysterical, I also laugh if it were me that slips or should publically do something unless it hurts too much, I tend to break out into laughter straight after thinking what a dufus, did anyone see that—

I've also got the giggles in serious matters where I should be crying but through the tears I cant control giggling!

The girl on the swing clip was on Tosh.O a while back. The Breakdown clip ... those are always good for a laugh and it's usually from someone falling or doing something dumb. Good stuff.

I dated a Libra a few years ago who laughed at a lady for rolling backwards into a cafe table while trying to get a motorized wheel chair up a ramp! I was in shock.

On the internet: I can laugh for days at people getting hurt.
In real life: I'm the first to help out........then I'll laugh when I tell someone about it.

These always made me laugh

I just saw this question. I love those too. I have seen some of the Japanese pranks on TV before. It is amazing that the people just laugh when it happens to them. I like Japanese gameshows too, they are hilarious.

Not only do I laugh, I point it out to make sure everyone else see's how fucking hilarious it is.

LOL. Maybe it's a Pennsylvanian thing, but that's what my natural instinct drives me to do too. 🙂
