1385540 2014-10-03 04:30:00 Hi All.

You will all have seen TV title The Mentalist, I am the Exhibitionist.
So we are in New World, me leaning on the trolley & Maryann picking stuff. Suddenly there is a loud crash. PJ has mixed up his feet &lays flat on his back on the floor, along with a display rack. Wondering what the hell he is doing down there. People rush over & pick me up. Staff sort out the display unit.

Very embarrassing.

Today my body is telling me not to do any more close up floor inspections. PJ:blush:

1385541 2014-10-03 04:34:00 I think some **** pushed you, the same some **** who puts back broken tools, leaves the grease gun empty in a workshop. Some **** sure gets around even to supermarkets PJ. prefect (6291)

1385543 2014-10-03 05:34:00 If it makes you feel better I've fainted in the fruit 'n' vege section in Countdown. Luckily I was standing next to a box display of apples and sort of slumped against that, so I wasn't face down on the floor. I had donated blood only an hour earlier. I came to only to find several Countdown staff standing in a semi-circle staring at me as if I were an alien. No one offered any help/first-aid.

I couldn't go back to that supermarket for at least 6 weeks after that. :blush:

PJ, at least there was no harm done to you (except to the pride :p)

1385545 2014-10-03 06:24:00 I can think of safer ways to enlighten a boring shopping trip - Take care. wainuitech (129)
1385546 2014-10-03 18:22:00 Ah well, creates some excitement for the other shoppers.

I once took an item from an end of aisle display and how it was stacked I don't know, but the lot came down.
Stuff all over the place, filthy looks from the supermarket staff......

1385547 2014-10-03 18:57:00 I have a habit of breaking chairs because of the way I sit and because I'm a big guy. Last time I went over backwards and landed very inelegantly on the floor in the middle of my workplace office.
My colleagues still get a good laugh out of it whenever it comes up.

1385548 2014-10-03 23:50:00 ... there is a loud crash. PJ has mixed up his feet &lays flat on his back on the floor,

I did that recently. Walking across some long grass and got both feet caught in one of those metal hoops that fasten wheel trims.

Everyone's done it: walking along the footpath, step on a flax leaf, trip up the other foot. EXCEPT those metal hoops are totally unforgiving

(It was when I busted the LCD on my camera which was in my pocket)
