I once had a group drive by in a van, and harass me and my friends as they passed, then, maybe 30 minutes later, come around again, slow down as they were driving past, open the sliding door, and started throwing fish at us. Like whole dead fish.

I went dirt bike riding with my dad and my brother. My brother hadn't ridden in a while, so dad started to go over the basics with him. He had other ideas however.
"I know what I'm doing", my brother complained, interrupting the explanation. He then proceeded to start the bike, rev the handle all the way, and dump the clutch. He popped a wheelie and got maybe five feet before he fell over. Funniest thing I've ever seen.
I was leaning against the side of my bike while talking with someone. It rolled away and did a full 360 circle while I fell, and somehow I ended up in exactly the same position as before. And I was just like Uuuuh okay?
Another one that I saw was while ice skating. These two tiny girls were skating hand in hand. One of them fell on her ass, and they both laughed, then the other fell, and they laughed even harder, and they kept falling as they were trying to pull each other up. I hope they're still friends :)
I fell down concrete steps and rolled into it and came back on my feet relatively unscathed. That reminds me also about a car accident I was in. Was in the left lane of a multi lane highway and a guy made a left lane change into my rear bumper (really closer to my center but I noticed and tried to speed up and honky but still got clipped). My cars back slipped left such that my care pointed forward. Another car slammed into my right side front flipping me onto the left side of the car and pointing me forward again but my momentum mainly stayed going to the right hand ditch which I eventually got to and then my vehicle flipped back upright do to the ditch decline. I was injured but again relative to what just happened and Im throwing this in but just to be clear it was a really aweful experience for not just me but many other people and other people got seriously injured. I just lucked the fuck out.

I wasn't paying attention walking along the sidewalk and tripped over a step. I tried to pull my other foot forward to catch myself, and that foot got hung up on the step too.
I ended up doing a forward roll and landed on my feet.
I had been taking karate classes with my kids, but I didn't know I actually learned anything.
A while later I saw they had put large concrete planters next to the step, so I don't think I was the only one to trip.
yeah I had taken judo as a ked so I went into a forward rolling fall. Its one of my things I tell someone asking for an opinion on a martial art to take. Im like you may never get into a fight and most people I assume don't want to. But we all fall and thats pretty usefull.
Yeah, that concrete step is the only time I've ever been attacked in the street, and I survived!
I feel like I become the subject of physical comedy semi-regularly, actually. I'm a very clumsy person.
Every moment, Existence is some cruel joke.
Most recently: My white cat was drinking water and my orange cat decided it wanted to attack it, my white cat screams as usual which triggers my dog to go nuts and wants to play as well which causes both cats to run. My white cat runs through the kitchen and jumps on the bench knocking over some containers we had drying out, the containers falling freaks my dog out so he starts barking at nothing in particular, meanwhile my orange cat runs down the hall and goes to turn and go up the stairs but slips (vinyl flooring) and slides into the wall making a loud thud.
This all happened in a space of like 20 seconds, while my family and I are sitting in the middle of it all eating dinner - absolutely perplexed at what just went down.
