In winter the streets are always slippery. How do you react as if someone slips and falls? Although I try but can never stop myself to laugh

I never laugh when someone slips or falls. It might be funny when it happens in a slapstick comedy, but I don't find that sort of stuff funny when it happens in real life. I just feel bad for the person for any sort of embarrassment or even pain that they might feel. If I'm not too far away from the person, I would ask if they are all right.

Unfortunately, the people always too far away to help her. Had I done but most! But me puke to these people who laugh out loud there. (you try to resist) but laugh when then artificially! Most students who happen to be cool ... well, what can you do? If it is someone from my friends, I laugh just as loud as I! (of course fun and she knows it

I'm shocked because you never know what is going on. Since I myself can still walk on crutches and not stoop down / may I ask the victim whether he himself is back on its feet, if everything is okay and in an emergency I have my cell phone. Or I ask one of the Teenys (here near a school) is that the times can not lend a hand. To laugh ... sorry, I find poor! If you are in need of help themselves and is only increased since then laughed about it, or will you yourself can not move but - then laughter is just pathetic! Source (s): That's me this winter, unfortunately, already been taken and everyone just laughed and rose above me - without asking whether we needed help!

I feel sympathy but I cant control my laugh. I even laughed when classmate slipped in mud and his pant is full of dirt and he abused me very much and tell that it will happen to you.

For me it depends on the situation. If its an old man or lady then I will try and go help them but if its a guy tying to act cool then I'll stand there and laugh. For example, I went to this mall and it was previously raining so it was wet outside. They had an area that was sort of under constuction, the floor was done but the roof was only half done. So the floor was tiled and it was very slippery, due to the rain, but was dry where the roof had already been built. Everybody was walking on the dry tiles to avoid slipping but out of nowwhere a guy comes running from behind everyone and starts 'skating' on the slippery tiles. But while doing so he slipped and nobody went to help him but instead majority of the people started laughing at him and mocking him. Long story short, he came, he slipped, we laughed, he became embarrassed, he walked away and everybody's day continued.
