Almost every day. Whether I’m skipping a step, avoiding a puddle, panic-flailing away from a sudden pile of dog shit, or trying to grab something from a too-high shelf in my small apartment, living in Brooklyn means you’re idiot-floating more often than not
Last Thursday I jumped up onto a ledge at the office to take better pictures of the vaulted ceiling. We’re renting out the space so my boss asked me to take pictures.
Right now because I read this. And then I realised that I jumped a few days ago because my partner and I were talking about our floorboards, and by pure chance I jumped in the same place and it triggered that memory. But I wouldn’t have remembered it if I hadn’t read this and jumped now.
Car wouldn’t start.
About a week ago. At work. To try to get a kid to jump.
The cat suddenly parked itself on the stairs. Some day, she’ll cause serious harm. Until then, pet, pet you cute assassin.
Our cat has been trying to kill us for 21 years. He wasn’t feeling well recently, but after a vet visit and meds, I knew he was feeling better as soon as he darted across my path and I almost tripped.
Literally this afternoon I jumped as high as I could to see if I could touch the ceiling. I could not.
Literally a couple hours ago because my coworker asked the same question.
I jumped to miss a puddle.
Me too! An icy/snowy puddle
My sister asked if I’m tall enough to touch the ceiling. My hand was wet and I left 3 fingerprints up there.
Can you jump and touch your head to the doorway? My kids used to challenge each other to that.
Probably? Idk I’m not home now can’t test it
Does bounding up the stairs count? I definitely get air and I do it almost every time I go up stairs. I average about 20 flights of stairs a day.
I almost always skip the last 3 steps of my stairs on the way down.
This afternoon, while walking through a parking lot with my toddler. We had to avoid the cracks.
I don’t quite remember, but sort of like… 8 hours ago while traveling go work in a company bus.
The driver was going quite fast and didn’t notice a speed bump. Shortly, he became a pilot.
Ah fuck it, lets simplify it. 5 seconds ago. There you go.
Physical leap, startled, or time travel?
