Man this is like my biggest fear. Imagine you slip and fall in the water in front of all those people, and they all laugh at you and then you have to climb back up and go to work soaking wet, and everyone at work knows you fell in because why else would you be soaking wet,
Yeah I don't think people would all laugh, they would help you get back on the chairs as they fear being cold from wet clothes themselves. Those are likely people of all ages.
Look at that line. Imagine if you were unfortunate enough to be commuting in the opposite direction. No temp construction semaphore to save you from the one way traffic to work.
