Short answer: You can slip, slide and fall.
Detailed answer: Friction is a resisting force that exists between any two surfaces in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.
It's a lot easier to walk on concrete than it is to walk on ice, right? That's because ice has much less friction than concrete. In other words, ice is much smoother than concrete, so it has less resistance, causing your feet to slide. If there is no friction then most common tasks such as walking on the road, supporting a ladder with a wall, writing on a board or paper, sliding a table, lighting a match etc. would become difficult.
Therefore, friction is one of the important forces that are needed for a smooth life
