Ok thanks for your replies. Here's my story...

I visited an Indian temple and there was a service going on when I arrived so it was really crowded. You have to sit on the floor there and I'm not good with sitting cross-legged but that's the only way you're allowed to sit.

At a point many of us went into a smaller part of the temple where they continued the service. It was packed in this smaller room and we sat for a long time. I was sitting cross legged but holding up my knees. I felt my left leg fall asleep. I tried my best to find a better position but it was too crowded.

At a point during the service you have to stand up to pay your respects. I stood but only made it up less than half way! I stumbled and started to fall backwards into the crowd of people behind me! I'm a tall guy so I felt badly for the people behind me that must have seen this towering guy falling backwards towards them!

They didn't manage to stop my fall so I ended up on the floor. Some guys helped me up but my leg wouldn't cooperate. I could hardly stand and now we had to walk too lol! I was so embarrassed.

Now my elbows are sore but my pride is hurt more lol.
