Mate of mine was at a party...
Standing on a balcony type thing (it was a terrace house in need of a renovation so there was a patio of sorts at the back, looking over the garden) when he saw the rather fetching actor Arkie Whitely* standing below, looking up at him.
He smiled, she smiled. He nodded and raised his glass, she smiled back. He thought "brilliant! I can take her a drink and she'll no doubt sleep with me!" so he picked up a bottle of wine and walked... straight off the edge of the balcony.
The roughly two metre drop into the garden left him in hospital with a broken leg and even worse, the report from others there that she'd not been looking at him in the first place and hadn't even seen him fall.
* Sadly she died a few years back, but remember the hot blonde in Mad Max 2 who ends up with The Sky Captain at the end? That's her.
