Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Sorry for any errors I’m on mobile.

For background, I live downtown in a crowded popular US city known for tourists.

So this just happened 20 minutes ago. We were walking from my apartment to go get some coffee on the most popular street in my city and as we’re walking and talking she suddenly falls to the ground. 

I look back at what could’ve possibly knocked her over and of all things it’s a banana peel. I couldn’t help but immediately crack up because that’s so cartoony and I’ve never ever heard of someone actually slipping on a banana peel! Apparently I yelled out “OMG YOU JUST SLIPPED ON A BANANA!” And of course right after I asked if she was ok and she was fine and had no injuries. 

But, she immediately dug her head into my chest and started crying even when I asked if she was ok. She told me I embarrassed her in front of all these people on the street. I didn’t mean to yell out like that and laugh it was just my first reaction to that. And I think if it happened to me then I could brush it off and see the humor in it.

We ended up walking back to my apartment and we didn’t get coffee. She grabbed her stuff and left and said that I didn’t care about her mental health because I didn’t see how that was so traumatic for her and embarrassing.

I really don’t know if I’m the asshole and I did apologize for laughing.

So Reddit, AITA?
