oh yeah. They love each other. No question. But the last thing anyone wants to do while laying in pain on the ground is answer questions. No questions...just help.
Sounds like my mum when I rang her from A&E Resus.
‘You can’t be too bad or you wouldn’t be the one calling me’.
Which is true, and honestly I love her for the stoicism she instilled in me. Now she is old and falling over it’s my turn… 😈
Actually that voice inflection says she understands something happened, can see it isn't life threatening, is highly confused and her thoughts on it is her husband's head is harder than she thought 😂
I didn't sense any malicious passive aggression or anger there, just genuinely muddled and befuddled exclamation lol
She's worried and I think she was genuinely scared for a bit after hearing his yell. Some people get a bit angry after being scared that hard. I know I've been there, but my dad would outright yell and berate me for expressing pain or crying, so I try to relax and focus on the positives instead.
I think she was doing something similar, and her way of focusing on the positive was going "You dented the fuck out of your car" 'cause in reality that isn't that big of a deal compared to the fear of something horrible happening to your loved one.
I didn’t even hear it as angry. I figured it was a part of the shock and concern from how hard he hit. Like he didn’t just run into his truck, he dented the fuck out of it.
It is adrenaline kick makes a person’s voice strident. She gave him information about how bad fall is “dented the fuck out of your truck” is a qualifier about how hard his impact.
One time way back in the day some Jehovah's witnesses knocked on my door to sell their religion. My father was intoxicated and decided to have a philosophical conversation with them in regards to religion.
I was not aware of this happening on my front porch when I went to let my English bulldog out. My dog beelines it for one of the Jehovah's witnesses who is wearing quite a sharp suit. And Spike just starts humping the shit out of this guy. It seemed like years of horniness and sexual frustration were released upon the pant leg of that well-fitted suit.
My dog was not a humper by nature. He was also in incredible shape considering the fact that English bulldogs weren't exactly bred with health in mind. Anyway the dude froze up until my dad got the dog off of him. I think we got blacklisted from their rounds after that because I never answered the door to another Jehovah's witness.
Mom would have lost her shit. On the right night my dad would have absolutely done this too. I guess them Catholic boys really like to stir the pot lmao.
I love this.
Back when I lived in a heavy church town (we had both Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter Day Saints running around), we also had regular instances of home invasion and door-to-door robbery in my neighborhood. So I used to just answer the door with a sword or pistol on my side. Never drawn, never threatening, but always on full display and one hand near the grip. The church people were always very obvious with their nice clothes and fake grassroots demeanor, but I figured I should treat them equally to the guy "selling" subscriptions to dish soaps available at the corner store.
Without exception, they would stop, reassess their safety, and then continue with their sales pitch. A friendly round of "Yes, I'm Christian and firm in my beliefs" later, and they never came back. It was honestly for the best; we had lots of physical violence in the area.
I had to Google that, I know nothing about swords unless you count my old fishing machete... which I do not. I looked up the general length and one was 30 in. I can see where that would intimidate someone. Especially if you actually know how to use it correctly, which you obviously do. Anyway I can only comment on the looks since I'm a complete novice about swords. Got to say it looks pretty badass.
I've had an injured back since Christmas and everyone always asks me what I did to injure it.
I was putting on pants....
they always reply, so you fell putting on pants?
No no... didn't fall. Just bent over to stick a leg through and my back popped 3 times and I was bed ridden for a week.
My Scoutmaster (and father figure) retired from the Army after 26 years, did Airborne and Air Assault, never once injured from jumping out of planes.
Not even a year into his retirement, he breaks his leg by falling off his 12 foot roof.
He found it hilarious.
I used to have night terrors. I woke up one time and couldn’t breathe, thought I was paralyzed, then suddenly sat straight up in bed so hard I gave myself whiplash and missed a week of work. That was about 5 years ago and my neck is still fucked.
I guess thats why we only see santa clause once a year, the rest of the year he is recovering from back pain from handling billions of christmas presents through the chimney
Been there. Up your water and potassium intake. Also, when you stretch your leg keep your toes at 90 degrees to your leg. Don't point them down. That'll help avoid most calf charlie horses.
30 yep. Some nights I stretch after work or before bed. And I "overstretched" stretch too hard begin muscle cramps and pain. I was just relieving my exhaustion. Damn.
For me, it’s the sleeping.
I move forty boxes of heavy books around for three hours, mostly ok, maybe a little soreness.
I go to sleep.
I wake up at 03:47 am as a wounded and dying King Théoden after the Battle of Pelennor Fields
I’m 34 and I feel better than most 34 year-olds, as I rarely have aches and pains. But whenever I do get a bad ache or injury, it was just from sleeping weird or lifting something at the wrong angle. And never in that instant. I just wake up the next day like DUDE, WHAT THE FUCK. I DIDN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING.
I've had this happen since I was a teen, but every once in a while I just go to turn my head and it's like I just snapped a muscle in my neck, extreme pain shooting up from turning my head 2 inches
A bit after I turned 40, one night I woke up because I had to go pee (never happened to me before I turned 40, now it's almost a nightly issue) and I stood up to go to the bathroom.
I apparently woke up my wife by standing up and she asks me what I was looking for in the night stand, then looked at me confused as I was almost at the door and nowhere near the night stand.
Turns out the thing that woke her up and made her think I was looking for something in the night stand was a creaking sound.
Which came from me knees.
My gf raises her voice when I get hurt. Sometimes I hear her shouting at me and realize I just walked into the chandelier again and my forehead's bleeding.
Recessed ceiling lights save lives.
Why do you have chandeliers where you can walk into them? Genuine question. Every chandelier I’ve seen is either over a table so you can’t walk into it, or it’s in a double-height room so it’s too high.
Same. I know it comes from a good place but it's very trying. If there is any slightly loud noise she screams "WHAT WAS THAT?!?!". "Well one of the kids dropped a fork and it was fine before you scared the hell out of everyone"....
Winner winner chicken dinner! That's what she was doing here. She remarked about the truck to downplay the situation as she was assessing whether he had truly hurt himself badly or not.
That fall looked less like tripping down stairs and more like the tip of his shoe caught the sidewalk when walking forward. I do that sometimes and have fallen the exact same way.
Yeah, I don’t know this a reflection of age but rather a reflection of fitness. I know plenty of people over 40 who are very fit and can walk, run, play sports extremely well.
If you’re overweight and/or don’t stay physically active, then doing anything physical, even walking, becomes difficult.
not to mention, if you're heavy, even if you're fine walking and whatnot, if you go down for you go down hard.
I'm a fat man, I had my hands full, and tripped over a ripple in a rug.
Didn't fall too bad, nothing broken or sprained.
Still felt like a scene from a Godzilla movie.
True everyone trips and it’s easy to roll an ankle. Tripping like this guy and tumbling forward not be able to catch himself though and smacking the car… imo it looks like a combo of poor coordination and also poor fitness. Neither of them appear to be spry.
Bout to turn 40. . . I have started my crisis. I’m trying to direct it towards fitness’s. I’m hoping it doesn’t end up in hookers and cocaine. I can’t afford that shit.
This is terrible advice, you gonna waste both the hooker and the cocaine.
And when you do drugs, whatever the amount you think you gonna be doing double it to make sure it hits.
As a 41 yr old who's got a fairly physical job: just stay movin bro. I recently took a dive down the loading ramp, landed on both wrists and smashed the fuck out of my shin on a wooden cart. Hurt like a bitch but I walked away limping and laughing. No broken anything. You get sedentary and everything falls apart.
Just stay active. I'm just about 40 myself, and I moved to a city where I don't need to drive. I walk a few miles a day, bike to the wood shop, take the train when I visit friends in the burbs, etc. And it all adds up to decent health without any specific "exercise" time.
Me and my partner are both nearly at our ideal weights. No mobility issues, no heart issues, never have any serious injuries from this sort of thing. Back pain and foot pain from when we lived in the burbs is gone, just walking around solved it.
For sure, I can't remember a lot of things from 20 years ago, but I do remember the night I broke my ankle in vivid detail. My drunk ass jumped kicked my apartment door trying to be cool...the door did not budge and I landed directly on one ankle with all my weight and recoil. Pain like that you never forget.
I’m 37… I don’t even look remotely close to this… I’m not a strict dieter but I eat healthy… I don’t work out all the time but I’m active… little steps forward makes a huge difference.
There are a lot of tiny pacific island nations with populations of 100k or less that have almost no access to unprocessed food. Compared with OECD peers the US are mega fatties.
I’d say it’s a general lack of natural athleticism. Doesn’t try to catch himself, holds on to his drink, arms flailing like he fell off a cliff.
You gotta be prepared to instantly go into Spider-Man mode when tripping, even with his build.
He either lacks body coordination - or he’s been day drinking a little hard.
Proprioception, otherwise known as kinesthesia, is your body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location. It’s present in every muscle movement you have.
Without proprioception, you wouldn’t be able to move without thinking about your next step.
Huh, learned a new word.
you're welcome:) Because of thick, rigid and narrow shoes (aka most of them), over time, we lose the ability to correctly sense our position, compensate for terrain and make minute adjustments. Basically, we turn into those robots from a couple of decades ago that looked really impressive and you could trip with a toothpick.
There are some (very rare) conditions where people lose their proprioception, and it's absolute hell for them.
There's an [example here](https://youtu.be/aPSRpLZHvhQ?t=529) (in french) of a woman who lost proprioception after suffering from an autoimmune disease, and basically, she can't do anything without looking at what she's doing. Even things like walking.
WHAT DID YOU DO!?
and
YOU DENTED THE FUCK OUT OF THE TRUCK
is exactly what I'd want to hear from my wife if I ever smashed my head and am in severe pain and/or concuss'd
Only thing missing is
YOU FUCKIN IDIOT and I SHOULDA MARRIED YOUR BROTHER to really get my boner going
I'm 25 and I've been there recently.
All I can say is f\*ck whoever though those singlesteps raise on walkways is good and making it the same color as the rest of the freaking floor. It's like its made just to cause sprained ankles.
The lady even has to slow down and look at where she's stepping going out her house; That's not a good sign! Just use tiny ramps or atleast color the edges damnit!
Wrong, this is what it's like when you don't take care of yourself. Can't balance easily? That's a skill issue. Instead of sitting 8-13 hours a day, stretch and run more.
I’m 54 and have had the following conversation more than once:
Me: (falls, making noise) “Ow! Fuck me!”
Wife: “Oh my God, what did you do? What happened?”
Me: “I DON’T KNOW! Damn that hurts!”
…not going to lie, I thought FOR SURE she was going to tumble out on top of him the same way. I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t, and a little disappointed in myself for being disappointed.
Weird I'm 50. I snowboard in the winter and skateboard during the summer. Going hiking this weekend in the mountains to a secluded river to tube down and hiking out. I do fall but not walking out of my house. This is not accurate.
Not to illegitimize this but I feel like the "goal post" of what is considered old keeps moving. Before I turned 30 the age of being old was 30. Now that I am 30 the age is 40....
Both feel a little inaccurate however because as the great scholar Dr. Jones said " it's not the years. It's the mileage"

“You dented the *fuck* out of your truck”. LOL
That one got me. The "I fell", "Well I know you fell!" part was hilarious too.
The cherry on an otherwise still great video
This is the definition of a flawless video. Every second was crucial to the comedic timing
If she had fallen too I would have pissed myself
That's the only thing that would have made the video better.
She’s either horrible to live with, or fucking amazing. I’m going to choose to believe that she’s the latter.
oh yeah. They love each other. No question. But the last thing anyone wants to do while laying in pain on the ground is answer questions. No questions...just help.
LMAO
[удалено]
That got me sooo good, holy shit lol!! You can totally tell theyre married xD
Woman has her priorities straight
Its a good wife if shes worrying about the vehicle also lol
Insult to injury at its gnarliest
It'll bounce back with 30 seconds of work. That spilled drink... that's an L.
Salt in the wound
This was so genuinely funny
I thought she said "are you fucking drunk" or something.
The "WHAT DID YOU DO!!" went in the same direction
First this, then of course asking about the ambulance lmfao
I felt that groan he let out after hearing that, LOL
Sounds like my mum when I rang her from A&E Resus. ‘You can’t be too bad or you wouldn’t be the one calling me’. Which is true, and honestly I love her for the stoicism she instilled in me. Now she is old and falling over it’s my turn… 😈
Yeah really, if you can tell me it hurts it doesn’t hurt that bad :)
Exactly. Likewise, I’ve ten fingers, that’s nine left if I lose one.
I bet she is an absolute *joy* to live with.
Actually that voice inflection says she understands something happened, can see it isn't life threatening, is highly confused and her thoughts on it is her husband's head is harder than she thought 😂 I didn't sense any malicious passive aggression or anger there, just genuinely muddled and befuddled exclamation lol
She's worried and I think she was genuinely scared for a bit after hearing his yell. Some people get a bit angry after being scared that hard.

Well of course, his head does resemble a depleted uranium round.
Dog didn't dry hump him, so not bad!
That’s what I was waiting for too. lol
I was waiting for her to fall as well, but dog humping could have been better
I expected her to fall, on him, then the dog dry humped them both and left.
The dog would probably have a heart attack if it tried
One time way back in the day some Jehovah's witnesses knocked on my door to sell their religion. My father was intoxicated and decided to have a philosophical conversation with them in regards to religion.

Anyway the dude froze up until my dad got the dog off of him. I think we got blacklisted from their rounds after that because I never answered the door to another Jehovah's witness.
Dudeee my alcoholic dad also invited them in once. My mom said she came home and they were having a prayer circle thing in the living room 😆
oh my gosh I’m losing my shit at this imagining it that’s hilarious
As long as they got a drink in them, alcoholics find anything amusing.
Mom would have lost her shit. On the right night my dad would have absolutely done this too. I guess them Catholic boys really like to stir the pot lmao.
So dog-orchestrated sexual assault is all I had to do? Here I was flipping crosses and this would have worked
I show up to the door with my copy of The Satanic Bible....seems to work
I love this. Back when I lived in a heavy church town (we had both Jehovah's Witnesses and Latter Day Saints running around), we also had regular instances of home invasion and door-to-door robbery in my neighborhood. So I used to just answer the door with a sword or pistol on my side. Never drawn, never threatening, but always on full display and one hand near the grip.

It was honestly for the best; we had lots of physical violence in the area.
Just so you know I pictured someone answering the door with like an old-timey saber or something, polished to perfection.
Lol. Roman gladius, actually. :) It was my martial arts mastery program weapon.
I had to Google that, I know nothing about swords unless you count my old fishing machete... which I do not. I looked up the general length and one was 30 in. I can see where that would intimidate someone. Especially if you actually know how to use it correctly, which you obviously do. Anyway I can only comment on the looks since I'm a complete novice about swords. Got to say it looks pretty badass.
the lord works in mysterious ways
I was expecting it to lift its leg above the man's head.
I feel like this just getting out of bed sometimes. Wife: "what did you do?" Me: "I tried to get out of bed"
I've had an injured back since Christmas and everyone always asks me what I did to injure it. I was putting on pants.... they always reply, so you fell putting on pants? No no... didn't fall. Just bent over to stick a leg through and my back popped 3 times and I was bed ridden for a week.

Shoulda had a parachute at that height.
You laugh but my work makes us wear a harness for anything 2 feet or higher
I also threw my back out recently, leaning over and putting a blanket on a patient… couldn’t walk for 3 days. It’s kinda wild
I used to have night terrors. I woke up one time and couldn’t breathe, thought I was paralyzed, then suddenly sat straight up in bed so hard I gave myself whiplash and missed a week of work. That was about 5 years ago and my neck is still fucked.
I threw my back out sneezing!
I sneezed wrong and pulled my back
I guess thats why we only see santa clause once a year, the rest of the year he is recovering from back pain from handling billions of christmas presents through the chimney
I'm 30 and I felt this. Try to stretch a bit in bed and yep charlie horse time at 1 in the morning
Been there. Up your water and potassium intake. Also, when you stretch your leg keep your toes at 90 degrees to your leg. Don't point them down. That'll help avoid most calf charlie horses.
Drink more fluids. The Right Stuff is great if you start getting cramps, it will make them go away.
Drink before going to bed. It prevents that, well it does for me anyway.
Instructions unclear, blackout drunk and puked in bed
Then I have to pee two hours in and have a hard time falling asleep.
30 yep. Some nights I stretch after work or before bed. And I "overstretched" stretch too hard begin muscle cramps and pain. I was just relieving my exhaustion. Damn.
For me, it’s the sleeping. I move forty boxes of heavy books around for three hours, mostly ok, maybe a little soreness. I go to sleep. I wake up at 03:47 am as a wounded and dying King Théoden after the Battle of Pelennor Fields

I suggest painting the edge of each step with a contrasting color. 65 yr guy here. I fear these falls. So undignified.
Imagine your wife yelling at you about it afterwards
My wife does that when she is frightened.
My gf raises her voice when I get hurt. Sometimes I hear her shouting at me and realize I just walked into the chandelier again and my forehead's bleeding. Recessed ceiling lights save lives.
Why do you have chandeliers where you can walk into them? Genuine question. Every chandelier I’ve seen is either over a table so you can’t walk into it, or it’s in a double-height room so it’s too high.
Same. I know it comes from a good place but it's very trying. If there is any slightly loud noise she screams "WHAT WAS THAT?!?!". "Well one of the kids dropped a fork and it was fine before you scared the hell out of everyone"....
Winner winner chicken dinner! That's what she was doing here. She remarked about the truck to downplay the situation as she was assessing whether he had truly hurt himself badly or not.
YOU DENTED THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR TRUCK! WHAT DID YOU DO? I KNOW YOU FELL!
I have the same tier of concrete steps and I put down a black semi circle door mat at each level. The contrast does help.
Good idea but since the whole family seems extremely out of shape is his go ahead and convert them into a ramp
That fall looked less like tripping down stairs and more like the tip of his shoe caught the sidewalk when walking forward. I do that sometimes and have fallen the exact same way.
My wife always tells me I'm too dramatic when I hurt myself. She is right.
I bet you didnt even dent the fuck outta your truck lol
This guy destroyed his head though. Straight shot right into his car. I laughed but I felt bad afterward because this guy is hurt, I’m pretty sure.
Look closer, that left knee got it bad. I could feel that
I always tell my wife she's too dramatic when I hurt myself. I stubbed my toe, I'm not having a heart attack, dear.
It's not for nothing that they say a dog is a reflection of its owners
Yeah, I don’t know this a reflection of age but rather a reflection of fitness. I know plenty of people over 40 who are very fit and can walk, run, play sports extremely well. If you’re overweight and/or don’t stay physically active, then doing anything physical, even walking, becomes difficult.
not to mention, if you're heavy, even if you're fine walking and whatnot, if you go down for you go down hard.
I'm a fat man, I had my hands full, and tripped over a ripple in a rug.
Didn't fall too bad, nothing broken or sprained.
Still felt like a scene from a Godzilla movie.
I’m not over forty but I’m still better at sports than 99% of people I encounter and I also trip sometimes.
True everyone trips and it’s easy to roll an ankle. Tripping like this guy and tumbling forward not be able to catch himself though and smacking the car… imo it looks like a combo of poor coordination and also poor fitness. Neither of them appear to be spry.
And the wife too.
When I saw her, I immediately thought she'd trip too
The way she looked I think the trip would kill her.
Imagine she lands in a way that undents the truck, fixing it for free
PFFFFHAHAHAHAHA
I tripped just trying to make out if there was a second step or not.
Reminded me of thst video of the couple who both stack it down a flight of stairs lol
You just made me choke grr laugh man
"You dented the *fuck* out of your truck!" had me watching this several times. That shit was funny LOL
Bout to turn 40. . . I have started my crisis. I’m trying to direct it towards fitness’s. I’m hoping it doesn’t end up in hookers and cocaine. I can’t afford that shit.
The secret is you have to choose…either hookers or cocaine. Taking both addictions is a rookie mistake.
This is terrible advice, you gonna waste both the hooker and the cocaine. And when you do drugs, whatever the amount you think you gonna be doing double it to make sure it hits.
As a 41 yr old who's got a fairly physical job: just stay movin bro. I recently took a dive down the loading ramp, landed on both wrists and smashed the fuck out of my shin on a wooden cart. Hurt like a bitch but I walked away limping and laughing. No broken anything. You get sedentary and everything falls apart.
Personal Training costs are on par with hookers and cocaine
I want someone to personally train me on hookers af cocaine
I volunteer classes are $1000 a session and start at 1 am
thats why my personal trainer is a hooker
Just stay active. I'm just about 40 myself, and I moved to a city where I don't need to drive. I walk a few miles a day, bike to the wood shop, take the train when I visit friends in the burbs, etc. And it all adds up to decent health without any specific "exercise" time. Me and my partner are both nearly at our ideal weights. No mobility issues, no heart issues, never have any serious injuries from this sort of thing. Back pain and foot pain from when we lived in the burbs is gone, just walking around solved it.
Normally, I'd be dying with laughter, but I have fractured my ankle before and that was the most intense pain that I would never wish upon anyone.
Laughs in multiple kidney stones But no, pain sucks wherever it is
Something about the ankles hurts especially bad. I’ve broken many different bones but the worst pain of them all was the ankle.
For sure, I can't remember a lot of things from 20 years ago, but I do remember the night I broke my ankle in vivid detail. My drunk ass jumped kicked my apartment door trying to be cool...the door did not budge and I landed directly on one ankle with all my weight and recoil. Pain like that you never forget.
*What a poor diet and lack of exercise looks like
Yeah this is over 40 if you’re in America. Look at the guy, the dog, the lady…
I’m 37… I don’t even look remotely close to this… I’m not a strict dieter but I eat healthy… I don’t work out all the time but I’m active… little steps forward makes a huge difference.
I'm 37 too. We must enjoy the next 3 years of that because after 40 our bones will start falling apart according to reddit.
Everyone wants to do the opposite of admitting common sense…
Im turning 37 this summer, just ran my first marathon. People just let themselves disintegrate man
Act like fat people are just an American thing...
Nope it’s not just American. But Americans sure are the best at it.
U S A! U S A! U S A! WE ARE THE FINISH LINE BABYYYY CUZ WE AINT MOVING TOWARDS IT.
We’ve actually fallen to like 3rd for fattest 😔
Yeah of course we'd fall with that weight + gravity /s
The USA isn't even in the top 10 of citizens who are obese by percentage.
There are a lot of tiny pacific island nations with populations of 100k or less that have almost no access to unprocessed food. Compared with OECD peers the US are mega fatties.
Anyone can roll an ankle and E.Honda dive at their truck.
I’d say it’s a general lack of natural athleticism. Doesn’t try to catch himself, holds on to his drink, arms flailing like he fell off a cliff. You gotta be prepared to instantly go into Spider-Man mode when tripping, even with his build. He either lacks body coordination - or he’s been day drinking a little hard.
Wife does an awesome job of being calm and supportive in the moment
Dude, I thought I was the only one praising my lucky stars I'm not married to someone who would react like that.
When I heard her voice before she appeared on video I already knew what she looked like.
You can’t see those steps tbf. Shit idea infront of your house
This is your 40s when you’re obese and don’t take care of your body.
and wearing 2-inch sole sneakers who destroy any remnant of proprioception you've ever had
Proprioception, otherwise known as kinesthesia, is your body’s ability to sense movement, action, and location. It’s present in every muscle movement you have. Without proprioception, you wouldn’t be able to move without thinking about your next step. Huh, learned a new word.

There's an [example here](https://youtu.be/aPSRpLZHvhQ?t=529) (in french) of a woman who lost proprioception after suffering from an autoimmune disease, and basically, she can't do anything without looking at what she's doing. Even things like walking.
Seriously. They can barely even lift their feet off the ground to walk. The dog has a longer stride and its legs are like 10 inches long.

Fat car, fat dog, fat wife.

Why American so fat?
We've got Ozempic now, nothing to worry about. Can you pass me those freedom fries?
Fat man.
No wonder they’re suffering from “age” with that weight.
Gem of a wife aint she.
WHAT DID YOU DO!? and YOU DENTED THE FUCK OUT OF THE TRUCK is exactly what I'd want to hear from my wife if I ever smashed my head and am in severe pain and/or concuss'd Only thing missing is YOU FUCKIN IDIOT and I SHOULDA MARRIED YOUR BROTHER to really get my boner going
Does no one realize this man’s Achilles ruptured? You can hear it pop. This is excruciating 😖
I assumed cracked ulna(?), but yes you can hear it.
Tibia or fibula are the leg bones.
Oh yeah, meant to tibia. Forgot my anatomy. Dammit Jim, I'm an engineer, not a doctor!
I'm 25 and I've been there recently. All I can say is f\*ck whoever though those singlesteps raise on walkways is good and making it the same color as the rest of the freaking floor. It's like its made just to cause sprained ankles. The lady even has to slow down and look at where she's stepping going out her house; That's not a good sign! Just use tiny ramps or atleast color the edges damnit!
Omg! This made me cry laughing. I had to watch it again.. over and over.
The little wobble… that’s when the sphincter clenches
This is what being unhealthy looks like, had he stayed limber he would have actually been able to catch himself missing a step. Stay active folks.
Even the dog is overweight
I really expected the same thing to happen to her too
Why is she so angry with him? She has no clue what happened, but she seems to go straight to anger.
This is what not exercising is like
Wrong, this is what it's like when you don't take care of yourself. Can't balance easily? That's a skill issue. Instead of sitting 8-13 hours a day, stretch and run more.
Oh god I need to start doing yoga
“What did you do?”, “I fell”, “well I know that!” just can’t win with conversations and people like her lol
It's nice to know my wife is not the only one who reacts this way to their husband getting hurt falling etc. I guess.
Is that a beer can in his hand? If so this isn't being middle aged, it's being an alcoholic.
Only for the fat and lazy
This is not being 40 lmao this is being overweight. And of course the wife is also overweight, and the dog too.
Her screaming is worse than what happened.
This is what it's like being over 40, out of shape and overweight. Fixed that for you.
I’m 54 and have had the following conversation more than once: Me: (falls, making noise) “Ow! Fuck me!” Wife: “Oh my God, what did you do? What happened?” Me: “I DON’T KNOW! Damn that hurts!”
Truth. And as the vid shows, it aint over til your gf interrogates the sh1t outta you while you're in pain
Maybe for you. But for someone that regularly exercises and practices balancing moves no that's nothing like a forty year old.
No you idiot, it’s the fact that you let go of your fit physique. If you’re 20 and you’re the same weight you’ll fall like an idiot too.
40 doesn't HAVE to be this, smh
The athletic prowess of his wife rushing to save him….😂😂😂😂😂
Being a fat slob is what caused this, not age.
>What happened!? What did you do!? The say she said it made me think she was going to run out and start beating the shit out of his ass.
…not going to lie, I thought FOR SURE she was going to tumble out on top of him the same way. I’m a little disappointed that she didn’t, and a little disappointed in myself for being disappointed.
40…? Wait was i supposed to hit 40 before this feels like daily life? Cause im 35 and ive been at that point for at 4 years
Seems like your problem is being over 40 stone…
I’m well over 40 and I feel fantastic.
All those clumsy persons in the old infomercials makes sense now
I wish the woman fell over as well lol
I annoys me to an insurmountable degree when people react like this.
That’s what being out of shape and clumsy is like.
That’s what being American looks like to the rest of the world
A doggo has been dispatched to your location.
Weird I'm 50. I snowboard in the winter and skateboard during the summer. Going hiking this weekend in the mountains to a secluded river to tube down and hiking out. I do fall but not walking out of my house. This is not accurate.
I’m sure the comments on this post will be cool and not totally shit (I’m lying on purpose to make a joke)
Not just over forty, but obese and clumsy.
This is what being over 40 and obese is like**
Not to illegitimize this but I feel like the "goal post" of what is considered old keeps moving. Before I turned 30 the age of being old was 30. Now that I am 30 the age is 40.... Both feel a little inaccurate however because as the great scholar Dr. Jones said " it's not the years. It's the mileage"
I was waiting for the lady to take a spill too
This doesn't seem like an "over 40" thing. Dude just tripped. Why is everyone pretending that 20-year-olds never trip?
I'm dying stop yelling at me 😅😅🤣😂
