HA! About a year ago I was pushing a shopping cart through ACE hardware. I put too much weight on it and it shot out from under me like someone pinched a watermelon seed.

I stumbled 3 or 4 steps trying to get my feet under me and went headfirst into a huge display! It hurt a little and I didnt jump right up. The embarrassment was much more painful.

A couple employees and a couple customers ran up to see if I was okay. The employee asked me a couple times if he should call an ambulance. I assured him that I was fine and got to my feet.

Somehow they got my name and phone number. Debit card? THE NEXT DAY THEIR ATTORNEY CALLED ME WANTING TO DISCUSS MY SLIP AND FALL! I told them that I had no intention to sue anybody and to let it go.

They called me again about a week later and then dropped the issue.

That's why walkers have hand brakes.

Were you riding on the back of the shopping cart? Because that would make the most sense.

High school. My friend was driving. I was in the passenger seat. He went out of control. All I thought as we were going towards a telephone pole was, "I really should have put on my seatbelt" (that really went through my dim skull at the time). After crashing into the pole, the car went airborne and hit a traffic light pole. The car skidded halfway into the major intersection.

Within minutes, before any other emergency services, some jew pulls up and gives my friend his business card. My friend turns to me and says, "I thought ambulance chasers were just a joke." Haha.

This does lend credibility to the claims you're a fellow boomer.
