Now's my chance, ONTD! Since the breaking queen has stepped down, I can take the crown! I'll try to remember you all when I'm tiktok famous!!

The design of this setup (as in, architecturally) does make a situation like this seem inevitable.

[theoryofwar]

are you doubting my break dancing skills?! I even managed to knock my own crocs off with how great they are!!

the architecture was probably a man tbh

[setsuna16]

No. I am not. I think such skills would have gotten more points than Raygun did at the Olympics.

But I also think that, eventually, someone, for certain, was going to eat shit without grace and poise.

[theoryofwar]

That person would probably be me! I had a mental image of my tripping on nothing, hot coffee falling on me, and me knocking all of my teeth out.

Wait is this actually you

[theoryofwar]

No, it’s not! Just something that would happen to me!

I actually had almost this same situation happen to me. When I bought my house there was an abruptly steep grassy slope from the back door to the garage and it was such a slipping hazard so I got in touch with a landscaper about installing stairs. And the day he came for the consultation was like a weird snow/sunny day so the top layer on the snow was just frozen ice from where it had melted and refrozen.

When I walked out to meet him I started to slip so I just curled into a ball and slid down the slope towards him like “hi so this is why I need stairs!”

He brought that up every time we spoke after that day 😭

[therearewords]

Not even a twist and shout, theoryofwar? Disappointed.

[theoryofwar]

That's a complicated move! I'm working my way up to it!
