Laugh, help or walk away?

[Dimentio]

Simple really, if a friend or family member did something embarrassing or whatever, which do you do?
Some examples, typically if someone chokes around me, I laugh like crazy, if someone walks into a door, I laugh, if someone falls down a hill i laugh, if someone falls down the stairs, I laugh while asking if they're okay, if someone cuts themselves by accident i ask if they're okay, if they fall over just while walking in the middle of the town centre, I would walk away and then laugh!
I just want to know if everyone is as sadistic as me, worse, have any funny stories to tell, or whatever XD

lol I guess it just depends. if the person was in serious pain or something I would obviously help. many times I would laugh. if it was a sad type of embarrassment I probably would just walk away

I usually laugh at the situation befote realizing how serious it is.

My mother laughs at everything and it usually just enrages me, family I help. Friends I laugh as I'm scooping them off the ground. I'm not really one to walk away unless they make a huge scene.

It depends on the severity, what happened, etc. Like one time my friend accidentally threw a water bottle at someone, and I laughed my ass off. But if people got injured I would at least make sure they're okay.

I'm not the one to try to make really embarrassing situations more awkward than need be, and I know when I'm embarrassed, the last thing I need people doing is changing their attitude into "hero of the world" mode. So unless they obviously need serious help or ask for me to help them, I try to move on like nothing ever happened.

It depends, but probably I will just ignore if that's the case.

I usually just help. It depends.

This is why I never got or understood America's Funniest Home videos. How is somebody injuring themselves funny? Yet what classifies when someone gets hurt funny or not funny?

I mean to be honest, if it was someone who constantly goofs off or who always makes me laugh friend/family member, if they do something to hurt themselves I might laugh or chuckle to myself and not do anything.

But if it is someone who usually isn't like that, I try to comfort them and try to make them feel less anxious mentally and physically.

Good topic to bring up and it made me think a little bit. Yea. :(

Laugh then help. Everytime.

Im mostly the helping person, but I can see the funny part in many accidents

Well it depends on how serious it is. For small things i think it's ok to laugh. Like when i accidentally cut myself on a rubber stopper (yes, i know. wth.) my sister couldn't stop laughing:P

Yesterday my dad fell down the full flight of stairs. It hurt me because i couldnt stop laughing long enough to breathe. But thats just because i hate him. Too bad he only broke an arm :/
Anyone else, if theres a chance they got seriously hurt, id make sure theyre ok, then laugh.
