Back when I thought I was athletic (high school), my friends and I were walking to the convenience store across the street from the high school. There were some guys smoothing out newly poured concrete in the store parking lot (actually the driveway). I don't remember whose bright idea it was, but somehow I had been challenged to jump and clear one of the newly smoothed panels (about a 7-8 foot jump graded uphill). Anyway, I get a running start, plant my foot just inches from the front edge of the panel and leap, easily clearing the panel by a foot...........only to land in the next panel ankle deep, which had just been smoothed prior to the one I had just jumped over. They were at a slightly different grade from each other and the sunlight had made it look like an older section of concrete. There were 7 hispanic gentlemen with various handheld tools glaring at me while I am trying to pull out my foot without losing my shoe. I thought i was gonna get a beatdown. A very embarrassing brainfart.

God, to just be a bystander watching you running and then just sinking into the concrete or one of the workers thinking "WTF does that guy think he is doing?" as you start running would be classic. not sure there is a smooth way to exit the scene after that.

thanks for the story.
