Today, I discovered that the odd creaking noise I hear when I walk down the stairs is actually a crack that had been getting larger over the years. I found out when I fell through and plummeted to the stairs below. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML
Today, I was walking next to this building that was getting renovated, and read a sign that said "Watch out for falling debris at all times." While I was watching out for debris, I fell down a staircase. FML
Today, my mum and I were moving the last of my stuff into my new flat when I heard some creaking. The sound was coming from the bathroom, so I went to check it out. As I stepped through the door, the floor collapsed and the bathtub and I fell right through. FML
Today, I was woken at 4 a.m. by the sounds of someone crashing down the stairs. I scrambled out, still half-asleep, to find out that nobody was in an agonized heap at the bottom. The walls are so thin in my house that I could hear the neighbour falling down HIS stairs. FML
Today, I discovered the crunching noise your foot will make if you accidentally drop a cement block on it. FML
Today, I was walking through my kitchen when I discovered a weak spot in the floor. Tomorrow, I'm going to have to fix the giant hole caused when I put my foot through it. FML
Today, I was walking up some stairs, and I told the guy in front of me to be careful, as the handrail was loose and well-worn. I then put my hand on it, and promptly fell backwards down the stairs with a piece of handrail still in my hand. FML
Today, I fell down the stairs while reading the 'mind your step' sign. FML
Today, I heard what sounded like an explosion from the basement of my house. Turns out my foundation cracked. FML
Today, I found out I sleepwalk. How you might ask? By awakening the moment just before I fell from the stairs. I was better off sleeping. FML

The other 28% is from looking at someone the wrong way. Get it staring at someone on accident and getting beat up? Just me? Okay...

I got it but at the same time I know why your name is hufflepuff...le Might've made more sense if you said, "stairing at someone"

I don't get it. Was the crack ON the stairs or above them?
