Yesterday! At a concert. A LOT

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 3 points 2 hours ago

Visiting a buddy's crossfit gym. He's since left that gym so I imagine I'll never jump again.

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 hours ago

April. Broke my foot. Sucks, man.

[–] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 5 hours ago

I went to year 1194 and saw some Turkish guys arguing about some grey men. Later Time Interference and Time Travel Society (TITTS) seized my travel card.

Last time I went down the stairs at my apartment complex. Accidentally started going down on the wrong foot and wouldn't land on the correct foot when I got off the stairs, so I jumped the last couple. Long story short, in my case it's an autism thing more than any actual issue, so that is why I jumped.

[–] Monster96@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

To get out of someone's way in a store today. Not really a jump, more like a hop.

[–] Kraiden@kbin.earth 15 points 9 hours ago

Right now because I read this. And then I realised that I jumped a few days ago because my partner and I were talking about our floorboards, and by pure chance I jumped in the same place and it triggered that memory. But I wouldn't have remembered it if I hadn't read this and jumped now.

Literally this afternoon I jumped as high as I could to see if I could touch the ceiling. I could not.

[–] MurrayL@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

check out Mr Big Shot over here with the high ceilings

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 hours ago

The ceilings are normal. He's actually Mr Small Shot

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Physical leap, startled, or time travel?

maybe half an hour ago, when i jumped into bed. before that, i jumped up or over a few ledges on my walk home from work. wild to me that anyone is citing a timeframe longer than a day to be honest,

[–] tymon@lemm.ee 4 points 9 hours ago

Almost every day. Whether I'm skipping a step, avoiding a puddle, panic-flailing away from a sudden pile of dog shit, or trying to grab something from a too-high shelf in my small apartment, living in Brooklyn means you're idiot-floating more often than not

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Does bounding up the stairs count? I definitely get air and I do it almost every time I go up stairs. I average about 20 flights of stairs a day.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago (1 children)

Your thighs must be hella toned.

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 1 points 33 minutes ago

The do be. I am a cyclist and biked thousands of miles a year until recently.

[–] Thavron@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 hours ago

Last Thursday I jumped up onto a ledge at the office to take better pictures of the vaulted ceiling. We're renting out the space so my boss asked me to take pictures.

[–] deadcatbounce@reddthat.com 5 points 10 hours ago

Car wouldn't start.

[–] shaping@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Literally a couple hours ago because my coworker asked the same question.

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 7 hours ago

Plot twist: op is your coworker

[–] Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu 1 points 7 hours ago

With my bike does it count? If so, yesterday multiple times to avoid speed bumps on the road.

[–] Heikki@lemm.ee 5 points 10 hours ago

This afternoon, while walking through a parking lot with my toddler. We had to avoid the cracks.

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The cat suddenly parked itself on the stairs. Some day, she'll cause serious harm. Until then, pet, pet you cute assassin.

Our cat has been trying to kill us for 21 years. He wasn't feeling well recently, but after a vet visit and meds, I knew he was feeling better as soon as he darted across my path and I almost tripped.

I don't quite remember, but sort of like... 8 hours ago while traveling go work in a company bus.

The driver was going quite fast and didn't notice a speed bump. Shortly, he became a pilot.

Ah fuck it, lets simplify it. 5 seconds ago. There you go.

About fifteen minutes ago.

The third and fourth stairs leading to my second floor are rotted out and I’m too lazy to replace them so it’s a couple times a day.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I jumped to miss a puddle.

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Me too! An icy/snowy puddle

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

My sister asked if I'm tall enough to touch the ceiling. My hand was wet and I left 3 fingerprints up there.

[–] Today@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Can you jump and touch your head to the doorway? My kids used to challenge each other to that.

[–] NorthWestWind@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Probably? Idk I'm not home now can't test it

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

January, i friend was out of town for two months and the battery of his car was dead, fortunately I had my cables in the trunk of my car

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 3 points 11 hours ago

Today. I exercised

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

I go bouldering and do a lot of dynos, so I regularly jump. Last time was special though it was yesterday when I was at amateur wrestling for the first time as the Shrieking Spud

[–] Today@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

About a week ago. At work. To try to get a kid to jump.

[–] saigot@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 hours ago

I almost always skip the last 3 steps of my stairs on the way down.

Maybe 30 minutes ago, I was watching a very tense video.

A few days ago, to grab a glass off a shelf

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

I did a little skipping out today. It's a signal to my dog that we get moving along.

[–] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 hours ago

Summer last year, getting into a private/walled off area I wanted to explore. (That was a ~2m drop onto some stairs so getting out was much harder than getting in haha)

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Probably a few days ago. Sometimes I just be leaping and bounding. Jumping even, in my home.
