How to embarrass yourself in three easy steps

...and one very hard one.

(1)Join queue for train
(2)Go to get onto train
(3)Miss train step completely. Fall down gap between train and platform. Hang by your arms from the train door, unable to gain a foothold to climb back up. Listen to everyone laughing...


Some kind soul on the platform eventually took pity on me and helped me back up, and, aside from a skinned knee, it was only my pride that was hurt.
