Today, I slipped and fell while shopping at a local grocery store. I slipped and fell in the same store last week. FML
DanielleinDC tells us more.

To add context: You enter through a street-level foyer of sorts, and you can take an elevator or the stairs to get to the shopping area. So the first time, I slipped on some water at the top of those stairs. The second time, I was walking through the produce section and slipped on a grape on the floor. I gotta say, I'm a bit surprised and pleased to finally have one published. And, no, I wasn't hurt; I was just a bit shaken up. In fact, when I slipped and fell the second time, I thought, not again! And one reason I keep going is it's a five-minute walk from my apartment.

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I’m sure you could get your grocery shopping trips sponsored by a local personal injury lawyer.

What was the reason for you slipping? Bad shoes? A wet spot? Both? If it was a wet spot, did they have a caution sign up? If not and the floor was wet, you could sue.

Good, it can only mean they keep the floor nice and clean.

Sounds like the store has been sitting you up for a fall.

If the floors were wet and they didn't have a caution sign, you could probably sue them

I've only ever seen someone fall over on a wet patch once. That was when she was wearing 6 inch heels, was so drunk so couldn't walk in a straight line, was running around the shop, and tried to go around a corner. The water she slipped on was the one wet patch left after the floor has been mopped. There was a sign up at the entrance. Sometimes the person who fell really is to blame, people need to take some responsibility and realise the world isn't a safe place and if you don't take take any precautions and act like an idiot you will get hurt.
