Otherwise, you’ll trip on the laces and fall flat on your face. People will laugh. Probably not the reaction you’re aiming for.
Well, people falling down is funny. Wrong, maybe, but that only makes it funnier. When we’re not supposed to laugh, that’s when we do. People look, they frown in disapproval, making us laugh harder and louder. Sure, we look like insensitive clods standing there snorting and hooting, but we can’t stop.
As for the klutz on the floor? Well, tough break, buster, but thanks. That was hysterical. What else can you do, really?
Hey, try blaming your shoes. These shoes. They’re limited edition Doc Martens, the result of a collaboration with the Cartoon Network. They’re supposed to be funny — Adventure Time was the inspiration. I’ve never seen the show, but I’m a big fan of the shoes.
I’d like a pair for my next face plant; I’ll tell myself you’re laughing at my shoes. Which is likely, since I’d look ridiculous in them.

As someone who’s been blessed with clownishly large feet, I’m always kind of amused when people with normal sized tootsies go to great lengths to have their feet look like mine.

I’ve wondered why, too. Think it’s because big shoes make everything else look small? Puffy coats create a similar illusion.

I think I’d be laughing at how much you paid for the Docs more than the fall. Novelty stuff is fun to have and wear but I need a lower price point for it.
Those steps down are the worse.

They are. This time, fortunately, there was door handle. I clung to it for dear life.
Paying that much for shoes, novelty or not, is crazy. Even if I had it, I’d hate spending it on shoes.

Payback is so unpleasant.
