Laughing my head off here... when we were kids... we were playing football in the street and the old guy across from us was getting pissed off... he came out shouting at us in his dressing gown and slippers... the ball rolled towards him and he went to hoof it and his slipper come flying off , went on his roof then slipped down and got caught in the gutter... one of the best moments of my life!!!!!
"Get over it" 😂😂😂
