So a little background before I retell today's FU. Last week I was staying over at a friend's and during the middle of the night I kicked the metal bed frame in my sleep, hurting my foot quite badly above the ankle and making it fairly painful to walk normally even a week later. 

Fast forward to today when I'm in college, ~~walking~~ limping along the corridor as per usual when I see a disabled person coming the opposite way who also has a pronounced limp. For some reason my first thought decided that the person may see me limping towards them and misinterpret it as mocking their disability so I quickly decided to act casual, walk completely normally and ignore the sharp pain in my foot. 

So there I am appearing to walk completely normally for a 22 year old when I come to the set of three stairs that lowers the corridor and immediately put my injured foot down the first step. Evidently this action was too much for my foot as the pain suddenly quadruples and causes my ankle to buckle, I lose balance and pretty much flop down the remaining two stairs, landing fairly awkwardly a few feet in front of the disabled oncomer. He came to my aid, asking if I was okay but with a fairly amused smile to which I sheepishly replied that I was fine, thanked him and limped onwards, surmising that I had an excuse to limp without having to worry about potentially insulting him.

Tried to ignore leg pain in order to walk normally, but instead managed to make my ankle buckle
