Do as I say…

Today, I was stage-managing a school show. Some kids were goofing off backstage, so I yelled at them that they could hurt themselves. While walking back to my chair, I tripped over my own feet and fell 5 feet off the stage, shattering my cheekbone. FML

ouch.... I agree with the others that have commented, stage managing is a bit difficult ( I was stage manager for all my high school musicals/plays), you always have to be the level headed one and tell everyone to stop screwing around. Even though you hurt yourself, you still did a good job in getting those fools to stop screwing around! :)

Hey, on the bright side you proved to them that it can be dangerous.

Ow!! She was telling kids to be careful so they didn't hurt themselves...how is that bad? That has to hurt! FYL

At least the bright side is you inadvertently taught them by example.

I'm stage manager for our school musical and last week I told them all if they didn't stop running around that the audience would here them and the director would be mad and then later I tipped over a set piece on accident making a huge bang. I feel ya
