Laughable Moments: Stretching

Today I went for a coffee. I ordered just fine and then went around the counter to stand patiently for my drink. There were lots of stools that you could sit on and drink your coffee at the counter. I had a cramp in my leg - so I thought I'd use the base of the stool to very nonchalantly prop my leg up and stretch a bit. The stool wasn't bolted down. It got shaky. It got REAL shaky. I paniced. My foot got stuck. People began to stare. Just as I was about to go down, you could hear me screech a bit and then oh so not gracefully pull my foot free and catch the stool with both hands. Normally with this level of embarasment I would simly walk away and act like I never ordered anything, but I decided to pull through it and I simply took a few steps back from the counter and stood with my back against the wall, trying to hold back the laughter myself.
