This is always particularly awkward when you're out in a busy street by yourself and you've completely missed your footing or walked into a lamp post because, Tinder. You've found it funny and people are bound to have noticed you doing it so the big question is: do you laugh at yourself? If you laugh you'll look absolutely bonkers but if you put your head down and run away then you look ridiculously awkward. At least when you're with other people then you can laugh about it together and when you start crying from the shock and the embarrassment they can rush you away into the nearest Greggs for a pasty.
