I just watched a twenty-something girl almost eat shit. It was very entertaining.
She was standing on a tile walkway here at the airport, leaning up against a glass case on the wall. Her little sister was tugging at her hand, and she gave a really hard tug, and the girl (who was wearing flip-flops) slipped on the tile, and her back slid down the glass, but then at the last second she caught herself with her other hand on the railing.
It would have been really funny if she’d fallen on her ass, but I guess it’s better not to wish that kind of thing on other people. Especially strangers. It’s okay to wish it on friends, I suppose.
