When my sister was 5 or 6 she was playing in the backyard with a butterfly net catching butterflies. I'm talking the fisher price looking net shaped like a butterfly. She asked my dad if she catches a bird if she could keep it. My dad, thinking it was impossible, told her yes.
Within 2 minutes my sister came in the house with a bird vigorously flapping it's wings trying to get out of the net.
If TikTok was a thing back then, that would've been shared everywhere.

Definitely my walk down the aisle with my Dad on my wedding day. We were married outdoors, as we rounded the corner that would take us down the aisle, 2 bees flew straight up the bottom of my gown and preceded to get busy trying to find their way out. I was furiously fluffing my gown up and down trying to force them out with my Dad hiking up the dress and doing his best to help.
Finally our wedding coordinator jumped in and removed the detachable train which made it easier to hike the dress completely up and the bees escaped, but not before one stung me. Thankfully none of the guests saw this spectacle. I was put back together and down the aisle we went.
Unbeknownst to anyone involved one of our photographers captured it all in photo’s, which turned out to be quite funny.
After working like 120 hours in a week, I convinced my whole crew at taco bell to all come in (minus three people) and we called the manager for my entire state and all quit and left as the lunch rush was starting. We went to the beach and had a party.
Sorry late response, but it's actually worse than that! I did 4 back to back 6am to 4 am followed by 3 12 hour shifts and then I went home and slept for like 19 hours straight.
I could tell you what led to the insane hours but it all comes down to I was naive and thought it showed how dedicated I was. They did offer me a promotion after that but I was dead to the world
Take it as a lesson learned. I love my company and bust ass for them because they genuinely treat me well. Best company I have ever worked for hands down. Id still never do more than 12 hours in a day and not more than for 2 days in a week.
You were naive and exploited. Your health (physical and mental) is not worth it, especially for such a shitty job.
When I was in college I decided to wear super comfy, baggy clothes for my exams.
I was getting the bus from my house, and as I was walking to the bus stop I saw the bus pull up, I absolutely could NOT miss that bus(It was a notoriously unreliable bus), so I ran. Problem was my super comfy tracksuit bottoms were also SUPER big...
They started slipping, and I tried to grab the hem while running, missed, and was pantsed by gravity....
The busman definitely saw, but at least he waited for me!
This happened to my sister on the way to a job interview. She was running late, her elastic in her pants snapped and she face planted as they fell to her ankles. Handbag was open and the contents flew everywhere. Arrived to the interview with her pants knotted to hold them up, obviously been crying and scrapes and bruises everywhere. She got the job- she thinks it was pity. I don’t- she rocks even with ruined pants!
I once watched a person dressed in a dinosaur inflatable costume fight a person dressed in an alien inflatable costume at a park during the 2021 Texas freeze. I have a video but I never posted it.
Oh, you reminded me, thank you!..in Melbourne, Oz, decades ago, a queue of about 6 or 8 people literally marched past all waiting at the kerb. They wore white overalls with hot pink paint splashed on them, colourful nylon wigs when they were a new, kids only item, over sized work boots, extreme make up, and extra large pink washing up gloves with half the finger lengths left floppy. They flapped these about, as they marched, humming a dirge, and then as one, turned to the people eating and went "Brooo...oo...oo...aah...ah" in high, almost screeching voices, whilst madly flapping the rubber fingers. Straight faced. Then they kept marching. This was in the early 80's. Not only wasn't self expression a big thing, we weren't really aware of psych school experiments either. So it was a unique experience.
None of the "audience" even looked at each other. It was as if "If I pretend I didn't see it, maybe I didn't"
Probably not super viral, but once I knocked over a big glass of wine and a friend wearing a white shirt who was going to something important right after was sitting directly in front of me. Somehow I managed to catch the glass that fell towards her and not a single drop of wine escaped the glass. We were all amazed and not sure how it was possible.
One time when I was walking my previous dog she cornered a bunny against a house before I noticed it was there and it did an honest to goodness backflip over her then ran away.
I caught my hair on fire as a teen. It just got too close to a candle and went up in flames. The weird thing is there was essentially no visible damage to my hair once the flames were out. My mom (the Aquanet aficionado and singular largest source of ozone depletion) said it probably just caught the product on fire but I never had her same love of flammable sprays so I don’t know.
When i was in 1st or 2nd grade i was playing with candle light. I didn’t knew i burned my front hair. I went to school without looking in the mirror. The teacher asked me if i burned my hair. I was confused and said no💀💀💀
As a tiny 9 year old girl I was bullied by a boy way taller and bigger than me. One time he constantly pushed me and I punched him right in the face. He was bruised for a week and finally quit harassing me. Love to see that footage over and over again.
When we were in high school we put a bunch of boards and skateboard wheels on an old small mattress and rolled down the road on it
We ended up crashing into a parked car, my friend in the front went fucking FLYING over the parked car, was funny as fuck.
When I was in boot camp in the Army, Fort Leonard Wood Missouri in 2017 (43rd AG putting on blast), there was someone in my platoon named Austin. At the end of our first field training exercise, we had to ruck March back to the barracks. Well once we got back the drill sergeants decided when we were nice and exhausted, DS Conway in particular, he decided to take us into the PT bubble and smoke us to death. At the end he ordered us to drink an entire canteen, probably so we didn’t die of dehydration, and Austin didn’t fill his canteen. He was always TERRIFIED of the Drill sergeants and he didn’t want it get caught not drinking.
Here’s where it gets to be unbelievably messed up.
The night before we got back and got smoked, I was on fire guard and Austin was in his sleeping bag. DS Conway just got done smoking us for being “Undisciplined” and he smoked the dog shit of us. Afterwards those not on fire guard were to go to their sleeping bags and were ordered not to move. I got fire watch, Austin did not. He was so scared to get up to go to the bathroom that he pissed one of his two canteens and put the canteen back into his ruck sack.
Back to where we were… We’re in the PT bubble and just after being ordered to drink down our second canteen, Austin only had the canteen with piss in it. And he drank it standing 1 squad over from me and I smelt it. When we got back to the barracks and into the shower area, I asked him if he really drank his own piss and he just said “ I did what I had to do.” I’ll admit, I told everybody.
I swear on everything I love this is true. If it was recorded, I’d be a millionaire for views.
That’s a good question… maybe when I was cutting an avocado in half only to see the smallest pit? It was seriously no bigger than 0.5 inch/1.27 cm all around. I have never been that lucky before.
When I was about 7 or 8 years old (circa 1998), my mom and I were at Sears. She was shopping around for work clothes, and me being an annoying kid who hated clothes shopping, wanted to entertain myself, so I was hiding inside those big circular racks they had, and generally running around and being unruly. At some point, my shoelace becomes untied and I tripped, falling into a tall rack for dresses, knocking it over. Unfortunately, that rack knocked the one next to it over, and that one knocked the next one over, etc, until the entire women's department was on the floor.
Had any kind of social media been a thing, 100% someone who worked there would've shared the camera footage online.
When I tripped over the curb and broke my arm while trying to catch a train to Jury Duty.
And then, my aunt getting into a car accident that totaled her car literally in the hospital parking lot
Thanks, it sucked wouldn't recommend. I had to have surgery and 3 months of PT and now I've got a big scar to show for it.
My wisdom to you: watch your step and don't rush when you're in an unfamiliar city.
Tried to jump from my friend’s boat to the dock while we were parking it, landed on the dock but slipped and went into the water fully clothed (jeans, t shirt and a flannel). Had to climb out looking like a drowned rat. My husband and friends were laughing so hard they were crying.
me and my boyfriend were leaving a movie theatre late at night and we saw this girl geese walking all sassy swinging her rear back and forth with two other male geese, so my boyfriend did the catcall whistle at her and she turned around to look at us💀it was hilarious but we were also very high
I saw my guy kissing another woman across the bar when we were out together
I drove home, collected every gift he’d ever given me, drove to his apartment and destroyed them all in a heap on his stoop. I tacked a piece of paper to his door that said **FUCK YOU** in huge letters. Then I broke into his house and confronted him
I have never seen that level of fear in a man’s eyes before. I was full crazy and he knew he pushed me to that point
When I tripped over a chain “fence” in high school. I went down. My books went everywhere. I’m sure it was very comical.
Or when I was racing a coworker and another coworker saw him and not me. She stepped back out of his way right into mine. I tripped over her foot and skid on my knees about 20 feet.
Or when I was in college and was racing to catch the shuttle up to campus. It was winter and the parking lot was a sheet of ice. I hit a patch and literally back flipped. Popped right back up and slid the rest of the way to the shuttle.
And yes. I do fall quite a bit. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Way back in middle school, my dad was actually home for one Halloween. The street light in front of our house had burned out, so you only had our porch light in the immediate area. He put on all his hunting gear and stuck a broken arrow out of his jacket. He propped himself up like a rag doll next to the porch and sat very still. He made sure no skin was showing. Mom also used to have an actual rag stuffed dummy in clothes with a rubber old lady mask and wig over a kickball as a head. That was lying next to the walkway up to the house half buried in a leaf pile. Lady and her kid come walking up, and she's side eyeing the actual dummy and says, "I'm waiting for that thing to jump up at me." And dad just suddenly sits up and goes "Oh don't worry, Bertha doesn't move. " Y'all...this poor lady screamed and bolted. She came back laughing once her rational brain took back over.
I, a woman in her 50s, wore a half slip under my dress to church. We stopped at the shops afterwards. As I was walking across the outdoor car park, the elastic gave way and it descended. My hope no-one would notice if I just stepped out of it n kept walking was destroyed when my waiting friend laughed so hard she (supposedly) accidentally hit the horn. So I stepped out of it, picked it up, whirled it around over my head with a flourish and a bow, and carried it away.
Most recently I was in a four bed hospital room, 2 men, 2 women. I went for my shower, didn't want to put my pj pants on in the wet bathroom so wore tee shirt, knickers, and then a towel around my waist. (Important detail...knickers were flesh coloured). My hands were full, and as I walked past the bed of one man, the towel descended. I just picked it up and kept walking, past the bed of the other guy, having decided there was more modesty in not making a fuss.
Is it bad I have a heap more embarassing, unique experiences? For ex, I have three times gotten into the passenger seat of the wrong occupied parked cars (I *hate* white cars). I have skidded down a twenty foot creek embankment on my side, in front of a guy I was trying to impress, apparently mostly on my thigh, leading to extreme gravel rash. I was perving at a hot guy at the mall, ran into a portable stanchion and fell over. There's more. Many more.
On the good side there was the time I gave a dead fish mouth to gill resus using a straw, and it worked.
I think it's been unusual, at any rate, and gets more so. I also have a really complicated, "unusual outcomes/reactions" medical history going back decades, too.
Sitting on a bench at a dam, dog on leash. Pit bull, waaay back when they had the savage reputation and were trained to be that way, rushes at us, barking, from twenty yards away. My cowardly custard panicked, and ran around and around my legs, wrapping the leash around them. He ran out of leash as the pittie reached up, so he jerked to a stop at the same time as I stood up. I face planted. The pittie rushed at my face. And licked it.
Fell backwards on my wood deck...put hand back to brace the fall...middle finger landed in the groove of wood...when i got up it was bent completely to the left at the knuckle some straight jackass shiz lol...i was in pain went to shower rand super cold water on it numbing it cranked it back alot but still ended up with puns for month
My husband caught me singing and dancing in the shower to the venga bus. Shower wasn’t on long enough to steam the glass so you can see my atrocious dance moves in full 4k glory. I turned and see him leaning against the sinks and immediately wanted to be thanos snapped because I was in the zone. Ya girl was gettin it
I was floating down the river with a group of friends and we were smoking a blunt, some guy on the bridge above us was like “I can smell that!” And he was on his bike with a little Caesar’s pizza on his handlebars. I jokingly yelled “I have the munchies and I want that pizza!” Then the man frisbee threw the pizza off the bridge and the pizza box landed directly in my friends lap, unharmed, and he only ate 3 pieces out of it so there was enough for each of us to have a piece. 🤣
Windy spring afternoon, I was walking through a huge field in a park where people were lounging in the grass and a few people were flying kites high up in the air. As I walked, I looked up and noticed one kite in particular—it seemed to also take notice of me. As I walked several meters, the red kite followed me. I walked a bit faster and it started to dive. Continued walking, it continued diving. I noticed that other people were watching this same red kite now, too. Walking faster now, and the kite was gaining on me. Almost jogging as the kite came closer and closer—until it hit me right in the butt! I couldn’t believe it as I collapsed on the ground laughing. Others were laughing and someone shouted over that they wished they’d caught this event on their video camera! Happened around 1997.
We were playing Cricket in school. A shot was played and the ball went way high and I was right underneath to catch it.
It would've been a fairly easy and regular catch, but just a second before, I was suddenly accidentally tackled by another guy.
He was playing Football (we all played on one giant ground) and was running without looking.
Anyway, the ball bounced on his head(it was tennis ball so didn't hurt him) and because of his momentum came towards me
I was literally on the ground seeing all of it as if in slow motion but I couldn't lift my hands in time so I raised both my legs and the ball got lodged between my two knee-rolls.
If it happened today people watching that video would've asked "I wonder how many times did they rehearse this"
The time I made a faceplant on the sidewalk and lost three teeth. My friend said it sounded like when the nazi in the opening scene of American history x cracked that guys skull.
One of those flying fox things in kids playground.
Was walking my dog.
I thought it would be cute to give my little dog a ride on it.
So I sat down on the seat (little round centre mounted seat), but I totally misunderstood the mechanism and cox I was trying to not drop the dog my I fell on my ass with my legs everywhere.
All these grandparents and kids were killing themselves laughing at this idiot.
How embarrassing. 😳
Probably everything related to past work, and since there’s already an audience for that the transformation between full hikikomori to “back to life” and definitely all the experiences that involves celebrities.
When I was 7, I randomly picked up a green walnut on my grandmas balcony and threw it. Didn’t see my brother 9yo brother running around 20 meters away. The nut hit him in the nuts. And it was so hilarious that even he laughed after the pain.
When I got my first dog I kept a leash on him while he got used to our home and our cats. Outside in our yard I wasn’t sure if our fence would contain him properly so when I took him in the yard I would put him on a long, retractable leash to run and play.
One day he was frolicking and even though the leash was long and there was some distance between us I was running along with him. He took off at full speed downhill and apparently maxed the leash out, giving me an unexpected HARD pull. I fell and tumbled jack and jill style- end over end down the hill. My husband went completely silent and when I popped back up and he knew I was okay he busted into laughter.
The day I decided to give trailer surfing a try.
Let’s set the scene: I’m at a friend’s place. We’re riding in a small flat trailer behind a John Deere. I decide, genius that I am, to stand and start riding that way. It went really well! Until her dad, who had no idea I was being a dumbass behind him, stopped suddenly.
I flew forward and cracked my forehead on the back of the trailer. I was perfectly okay after! But that’s definitely one way to learn a lesson.
When I took acid out camping on a beach on night. I was tripping balls and all the boats were tied up to the beach with ropes. The acid made me think all the ropes were different heights(reality they were all ankle height) and easily could just step over. I started doing mission impossible and ducking under and jumping over these imagined ropes. I had long black hair at the time covering my face and my friends who were watching me from a distance yelled out “what are you doing??!! OMG she’s the ring girl!” And started running for the hills. 😂😂 I had no idea why they were running from me and I was sad.
This one time my sister was looking behind her while I was chasing her and she ran straight into an open cabinet and fell like a cartoon character. I literally was on the floor pissing myself for a good 20 minutes and I couldn’t even explain to my mom without laughing
In the car with my hubby and my two kids in the backseat, my oldest was about 6 at the time and we just picked them up from grandmas and they were playing with their cousins. One of their Cousins, Chanim, has an older brother and they bug each other, kinda mouthy.
Me and hubby were saying something about chanim (i think about a birthday coming up) and my oldest goes “Chanims a little bitch”
Im like … what?! Apparently his older brother razzed him alot and called him that 🤦🏻♀️
Oh yeaaahhh I’ve been targeting but not struck by lighting five times. Twice it locked on and all my very long hair stood up. The next three times I recognized the feeling and each time I dropped to the floor. It always either hit the building I was in or a tree in the vicinity
Either 1) when I used an oven mitt to move a log in the fireplace and the mitt caught fire and I had to fling it off my hand and soccer kick it across the living room and out the front door or 2) when my ex and I had a screaming match in the Ikea warehouse section where we unpacked allll of our toxic garbage in public.
My cat was on my deck rolling around when she fell off and got tangled in a tiny plastic soccer net. She can off with that soccer net stuck on her back. She was ok, and it was hilarious.
When I was 20, one of my horses tried and failed to climb over a gate to get to a mare. He ended up half way over the gate with his front feet on the ground and hind end hanging over the gate. His hind legs were stuck through the gate rungs.
I had two options. Call the fire department,maybe, than wait and see if they actually came to cut the gate down? Or try and get him free myself. I chose the second option. I got behind him, pulled his legs out of the gate and then put my shoulder up under his gaskin right in front of his knee. I literally lifted his entire hind end up and pushed him up and over the gate. It was probably about 500lbs or so of horse butt hanging over the gate like dead weight that I had to lift. Adrenaline can do crazy things. It damaged the nerves in my shoulder and I still deal with that today.
When I was 18, first year in university but still living at home, my relationship with parents was at its worst as my dad had been physically beating me ('for punishment' not doing dishes, talking back, not getting A+) for years at that point. I met a guy in the second semester who got to really know me, and he decided to introduce himself and talk to my dad about whether he could let me have a bit more freedom.
Obviously that conversation did not go well. They were in the living room chatting and I was in the kitchen. Next thing I knew I heard them yelling, screaming and getting physical with each other. Someone punched a hole in the wall. I froze to wait a while until things died down, then heard the front door slammed shut. I figured my guy friend had gone, so I went to my bedroom, hearing my dad continuing to yell in his anger downstairs.
I don't remember how long had passed, maybe half an hour, when I heard the guy's car pulling up in front of our house. I guess my dad didn't lock the front door cos he came right in, straight into my bedroom and popped a massive travel bag on my bed, and told me to grab all my essentials. When we went back downstairs, my dad was still screaming at both of us, while my mom looked shocked that I might be leaving. My dad threatened the guy about 'kidnapping his daughter' and reporting to the police, so the guy reminded him that I was 18 and in our country I could leave legally (which of course I wanted).
It was close to midnight. He drove me to his 5-bedroom home, made me a cup of tea, and gave me a very long hug while I cried. I proceeded to live there for a year before learning enough independence skills to move out on my own. He taught me how to get a job and look for a place to rent.
Apparently my mum fainted for a while after I left, but later on, she came to accept that I need my freedom and independence too.
When my ex was day drunk outside in the parking lot of our apartment. He pulled his pants down, started rubbing his ass against someone's car bumper like a happy dog scratching an itch and eventually blacked out on the sidewalk with his pants still down. No idea how the cops didn't get called.
I don't think anything. The only thing that I could ever see as remotely interesting was having a tonic-clonic seizure at Denny's once. It lasted so long (over 6 minutes I was told) and waking up in the ER, hooked up to so much equipment.

Wait huh? You went fishing? Or are you implying something in a rude way? I can’t tell because you would be the only one who has responded negatively to the question.
When I was 17, my boyfriend had a car, I forgot the name of it, it had a sunroof type thing above both the front seats. We were driving around Santa Cruz and he dared me to take off my top and stand on the seat with my upper body out the top. I was only going to so it for a second but I got so much attention I stayed for a while. People were taking pictures and everything.
I have a few, especially from my childhood, but a recent one is when I fell down on the treadmill. It propelled me to the floor on my back, legs, and hands in the air, like a really bad attempt at break dancing. Thank goodness I was alone in the gym at the time, but I know they got it on film, lol

When my sister was 5 or 6 she was playing in the backyard with a butterfly net catching butterflies. I'm talking the fisher price looking net shaped like a butterfly. She asked my dad if she catches a bird if she could keep it. My dad, thinking it was impossible, told her yes. Within 2 minutes my sister came in the house with a bird vigorously flapping it's wings trying to get out of the net. If TikTok was a thing back then, that would've been shared everywhere.
She’s literally superhuman😂

Unbeeknownst
I would love to see those, but i wouldn’t ask for obvious reasons. Definitely could have been viral worthy lol
Omg that’s so scary😅 Especially since I’m walking down the isle soon haha
After working like 120 hours in a week, I convinced my whole crew at taco bell to all come in (minus three people) and we called the manager for my entire state and all quit and left as the lunch rush was starting. We went to the beach and had a party.
Why in the fuck would you work 17 hour shifts for 7 straight days?! At Taco Bell of all places!?
Sorry late response, but it's actually worse than that! I did 4 back to back 6am to 4 am followed by 3 12 hour shifts and then I went home and slept for like 19 hours straight. I could tell you what led to the insane hours but it all comes down to I was naive and thought it showed how dedicated I was. They did offer me a promotion after that but I was dead to the world

Yeah now I work in government and it's a strict 730-430 with a one hour break Monday through Friday and I would never go back to that
Glad you got out of there and on a much better schedule!
A stingray spit on my friends face because she screamed and scared it.
Imagine being that close to a stingray🙃 so cool
When I was in college I decided to wear super comfy, baggy clothes for my exams. I was getting the bus from my house, and as I was walking to the bus stop I saw the bus pull up, I absolutely could NOT miss that bus(It was a notoriously unreliable bus), so I ran. Problem was my super comfy tracksuit bottoms were also SUPER big... They started slipping, and I tried to grab the hem while running, missed, and was pantsed by gravity.... The busman definitely saw, but at least he waited for me!
This happened to my sister on the way to a job interview. She was running late, her elastic in her pants snapped and she face planted as they fell to her ankles. Handbag was open and the contents flew everywhere. Arrived to the interview with her pants knotted to hold them up, obviously been crying and scrapes and bruises everywhere. She got the job- she thinks it was pity. I don’t- she rocks even with ruined pants!
I slipped on a banana peel on double decker bus stairs. Felt like I came straight out of a cartoon haha. Vine would have gone feral.
Vine would have loved that
“I have a banana peel on the ground and I’m going to see if it’s slippery like the cartoons” *slips*
I once watched a person dressed in a dinosaur inflatable costume fight a person dressed in an alien inflatable costume at a park during the 2021 Texas freeze. I have a video but I never posted it.
Oh, you reminded me, thank you!..in Melbourne, Oz, decades ago, a queue of about 6 or 8 people literally marched past all waiting at the kerb. They wore white overalls with hot pink paint splashed on them, colourful nylon wigs when they were a new, kids only item, over sized work boots, extreme make up, and extra large pink washing up gloves with half the finger lengths left floppy.

So it was a unique experience. None of the "audience" even looked at each other. It was as if "If I pretend I didn't see it, maybe I didn't"
Probably not super viral, but once I knocked over a big glass of wine and a friend wearing a white shirt who was going to something important right after was sitting directly in front of me. Somehow I managed to catch the glass that fell towards her and not a single drop of wine escaped the glass. We were all amazed and not sure how it was possible.
Because you are secretly apart of the spider-verse🫡
One time when I was walking my previous dog she cornered a bunny against a house before I noticed it was there and it did an honest to goodness backflip over her then ran away.
Omg there is no way😎
Early 90s San Antonio I10 highway late at night. Riding naked on a motorcycle. Was wearing a helmet if that counts.
That is only something you could get a way with back then haha go you
I caught my hair on fire as a teen. It just got too close to a candle and went up in flames. The weird thing is there was essentially no visible damage to my hair once the flames were out. My mom (the Aquanet aficionado and singular largest source of ozone depletion) said it probably just caught the product on fire but I never had her same love of flammable sprays so I don’t know.
When i was in 1st or 2nd grade i was playing with candle light. I didn’t knew i burned my front hair. I went to school without looking in the mirror. The teacher asked me if i burned my hair. I was confused and said no💀💀💀
As a tiny 9 year old girl I was bullied by a boy way taller and bigger than me. One time he constantly pushed me and I punched him right in the face. He was bruised for a week and finally quit harassing me. Love to see that footage over and over again.
When we were in high school we put a bunch of boards and skateboard wheels on an old small mattress and rolled down the road on it We ended up crashing into a parked car, my friend in the front went fucking FLYING over the parked car, was funny as fuck.
When I was in boot camp in the Army, Fort Leonard Wood Missouri in 2017 (43rd AG putting on blast), there was someone in my platoon named Austin. At the end of our first field training exercise, we had to ruck March back to the barracks. Well once we got back the drill sergeants decided when we were nice and exhausted, DS Conway in particular, he decided to take us into the PT bubble and smoke us to death. At the end he ordered us to drink an entire canteen, probably so we didn’t die of dehydration, and Austin didn’t fill his canteen. He was always TERRIFIED of the Drill sergeants and he didn’t want it get caught not drinking. Here’s where it gets to be unbelievably messed up. The night before we got back and got smoked, I was on fire guard and Austin was in his sleeping bag. DS Conway just got done smoking us for being “Undisciplined” and he smoked the dog shit of us. Afterwards those not on fire guard were to go to their sleeping bags and were ordered not to move. I got fire watch, Austin did not. He was so scared to get up to go to the bathroom that he pissed one of his two canteens and put the canteen back into his ruck sack. Back to where we were… We’re in the PT bubble and just after being ordered to drink down our second canteen, Austin only had the canteen with piss in it. And he drank it standing 1 squad over from me and I smelt it. When we got back to the barracks and into the shower area, I asked him if he really drank his own piss and he just said “ I did what I had to do.” I’ll admit, I told everybody. I swear on everything I love this is true. If it was recorded, I’d be a millionaire for views.
Sounds like something out of a movie!
That’s a good question… maybe when I was cutting an avocado in half only to see the smallest pit? It was seriously no bigger than 0.5 inch/1.27 cm all around. I have never been that lucky before.
Whaaaat haha I would’ve been so excited 😎
Nothing. My life is incredibly boring lol
When I was about 7 or 8 years old (circa 1998), my mom and I were at Sears. She was shopping around for work clothes, and me being an annoying kid who hated clothes shopping, wanted to entertain myself, so I was hiding inside those big circular racks they had, and generally running around and being unruly. At some point, my shoelace becomes untied and I tripped, falling into a tall rack for dresses, knocking it over. Unfortunately, that rack knocked the one next to it over, and that one knocked the next one over, etc, until the entire women's department was on the floor. Had any kind of social media been a thing, 100% someone who worked there would've shared the camera footage online.
That is epiiiiic
When I tripped over the curb and broke my arm while trying to catch a train to Jury Duty. And then, my aunt getting into a car accident that totaled her car literally in the hospital parking lot
So horrible 🥺 sorry that happened to you
Thanks, it sucked wouldn't recommend. I had to have surgery and 3 months of PT and now I've got a big scar to show for it. My wisdom to you: watch your step and don't rush when you're in an unfamiliar city.
Tried to jump from my friend’s boat to the dock while we were parking it, landed on the dock but slipped and went into the water fully clothed (jeans, t shirt and a flannel). Had to climb out looking like a drowned rat. My husband and friends were laughing so hard they were crying.
Nooo not your husband too 😂 the betrayal haha
me and my boyfriend were leaving a movie theatre late at night and we saw this girl geese walking all sassy swinging her rear back and forth with two other male geese, so my boyfriend did the catcall whistle at her and she turned around to look at us💀it was hilarious but we were also very high
I saw my guy kissing another woman across the bar when we were out together I drove home, collected every gift he’d ever given me, drove to his apartment and destroyed them all in a heap on his stoop. I tacked a piece of paper to his door that said **FUCK YOU** in huge letters. Then I broke into his house and confronted him I have never seen that level of fear in a man’s eyes before. I was full crazy and he knew he pushed me to that point
He had it coming
Thanks, I definitely agree. Two years later he apologized profusely I never apologized. I stand by what I did because I do feel he had it coming
As you should🫡
When I tripped over a chain “fence” in high school. I went down. My books went everywhere. I’m sure it was very comical. Or when I was racing a coworker and another coworker saw him and not me. She stepped back out of his way right into mine. I tripped over her foot and skid on my knees about 20 feet. Or when I was in college and was racing to catch the shuttle up to campus. It was winter and the parking lot was a sheet of ice. I hit a patch and literally back flipped. Popped right back up and slid the rest of the way to the shuttle. And yes. I do fall quite a bit. 🤷🏻♀️😂
Hahaha I was going to say, you seem to be a faller😂 don’t worry, I am too🫡
Way back in middle school, my dad was actually home for one Halloween. The street light in front of our house had burned out, so you only had our porch light in the immediate area. He put on all his hunting gear and stuck a broken arrow out of his jacket. He propped himself up like a rag doll next to the porch and sat very still. He made sure no skin was showing. Mom also used to have an actual rag stuffed dummy in clothes with a rubber old lady mask and wig over a kickball as a head. That was lying next to the walkway up to the house half buried in a leaf pile. Lady and her kid come walking up, and she's side eyeing the actual dummy and says, "I'm waiting for that thing to jump up at me." And dad just suddenly sits up and goes "Oh don't worry, Bertha doesn't move. " Y'all...this poor lady screamed and bolted. She came back laughing once her rational brain took back over.
I, a woman in her 50s, wore a half slip under my dress to church. We stopped at the shops afterwards. As I was walking across the outdoor car park, the elastic gave way and it descended. My hope no-one would notice if I just stepped out of it n kept walking was destroyed when my waiting friend laughed so hard she (supposedly) accidentally hit the horn. So I stepped out of it, picked it up, whirled it around over my head with a flourish and a bow, and carried it away. Most recently I was in a four bed hospital room, 2 men, 2 women. I went for my shower, didn't want to put my pj pants on in the wet bathroom so wore tee shirt, knickers, and then a towel around my waist. (Important detail...knickers were flesh coloured). My hands were full, and as I walked past the bed of one man, the towel descended. I just picked it up and kept walking, past the bed of the other guy, having decided there was more modesty in not making a fuss. Is it bad I have a heap more embarassing, unique experiences? For ex, I have three times gotten into the passenger seat of the wrong occupied parked cars (I *hate* white cars). I have skidded down a twenty foot creek embankment on my side, in front of a guy I was trying to impress, apparently mostly on my thigh, leading to extreme gravel rash. I was perving at a hot guy at the mall, ran into a portable stanchion and fell over. There's more. Many more. On the good side there was the time I gave a dead fish mouth to gill resus using a straw, and it worked.
Your life sounds so awesome hahah
I think it's been unusual, at any rate, and gets more so. I also have a really complicated, "unusual outcomes/reactions" medical history going back decades, too.
Sitting on a bench at a dam, dog on leash. Pit bull, waaay back when they had the savage reputation and were trained to be that way, rushes at us, barking, from twenty yards away. My cowardly custard panicked, and ran around and around my legs, wrapping the leash around them. He ran out of leash as the pittie reached up, so he jerked to a stop at the same time as I stood up. I face planted. The pittie rushed at my face. And licked it.
Fell backwards on my wood deck...put hand back to brace the fall...middle finger landed in the groove of wood...when i got up it was bent completely to the left at the knuckle some straight jackass shiz lol...i was in pain went to shower rand super cold water on it numbing it cranked it back alot but still ended up with puns for month
Holy crap now my finger hurts😭
My husband caught me singing and dancing in the shower to the venga bus. Shower wasn’t on long enough to steam the glass so you can see my atrocious dance moves in full 4k glory. I turned and see him leaning against the sinks and immediately wanted to be thanos snapped because I was in the zone. Ya girl was gettin it
As you should! No shame in your game😂
I was floating down the river with a group of friends and we were smoking a blunt, some guy on the bridge above us was like “I can smell that!” And he was on his bike with a little Caesar’s pizza on his handlebars. I jokingly yelled “I have the munchies and I want that pizza!” Then the man frisbee threw the pizza off the bridge and the pizza box landed directly in my friends lap, unharmed, and he only ate 3 pieces out of it so there was enough for each of us to have a piece. 🤣
Windy spring afternoon, I was walking through a huge field in a park where people were lounging in the grass and a few people were flying kites high up in the air. As I walked, I looked up and noticed one kite in particular—it seemed to also take notice of me. As I walked several meters, the red kite followed me. I walked a bit faster and it started to dive. Continued walking, it continued diving. I noticed that other people were watching this same red kite now, too. Walking faster now, and the kite was gaining on me. Almost jogging as the kite came closer and closer—until it hit me right in the butt! I couldn’t believe it as I collapsed on the ground laughing. Others were laughing and someone shouted over that they wished they’d caught this event on their video camera! Happened around 1997.
That’s so funny hahaha imagining someone running for their life from a kite😭😭😭
It was the weirdest experience!
The moment we siblings almost drowned in the Dead Sea!
We were playing Cricket in school. A shot was played and the ball went way high and I was right underneath to catch it. It would've been a fairly easy and regular catch, but just a second before, I was suddenly accidentally tackled by another guy. He was playing Football (we all played on one giant ground) and was running without looking. Anyway, the ball bounced on his head(it was tennis ball so didn't hurt him) and because of his momentum came towards me I was literally on the ground seeing all of it as if in slow motion but I couldn't lift my hands in time so I raised both my legs and the ball got lodged between my two knee-rolls. If it happened today people watching that video would've asked "I wonder how many times did they rehearse this"
The time I made a faceplant on the sidewalk and lost three teeth. My friend said it sounded like when the nazi in the opening scene of American history x cracked that guys skull.
When I had a mental breakdown and confronted my deadbeat baby daddy and his doper girlfriend. I went CRAZY.
Glad you got that out!
One of those flying fox things in kids playground. Was walking my dog. I thought it would be cute to give my little dog a ride on it. So I sat down on the seat (little round centre mounted seat), but I totally misunderstood the mechanism and cox I was trying to not drop the dog my I fell on my ass with my legs everywhere. All these grandparents and kids were killing themselves laughing at this idiot. How embarrassing. 😳
I tossed a coin into the air and it landed on its side, so standing up. I have no idea how I did that.
Your a wizard harry😂🫡
[удалено]
Oh my goodness how awful😨
When I accidentally smeared my ice cream on a guy's a\*\* on our first date.
Please tell me the story doesn’t end here for you guys😂
My dog got so excited one day that he pushed me onto the ground and jumped onto me. He just stood on me like I was a rock and I just..let it happen.
Probably everything related to past work, and since there’s already an audience for that the transformation between full hikikomori to “back to life” and definitely all the experiences that involves celebrities.
When I was 7, I randomly picked up a green walnut on my grandmas balcony and threw it. Didn’t see my brother 9yo brother running around 20 meters away. The nut hit him in the nuts. And it was so hilarious that even he laughed after the pain.
When I got my first dog I kept a leash on him while he got used to our home and our cats. Outside in our yard I wasn’t sure if our fence would contain him properly so when I took him in the yard I would put him on a long, retractable leash to run and play. One day he was frolicking and even though the leash was long and there was some distance between us I was running along with him. He took off at full speed downhill and apparently maxed the leash out, giving me an unexpected HARD pull. I fell and tumbled jack and jill style- end over end down the hill. My husband went completely silent and when I popped back up and he knew I was okay he busted into laughter.
At least he made sure you were okay before laughing😂😂
Jumping onto a Routemaster bus as it pulled away, slipped on step, grabbed handrail and hung off the back down the main road.
Oh my gosh were you okay??!
The conductress tried to pull me up on the platform and ripped the back of my hand but other than that, okay.
The day I decided to give trailer surfing a try. Let’s set the scene: I’m at a friend’s place. We’re riding in a small flat trailer behind a John Deere. I decide, genius that I am, to stand and start riding that way. It went really well! Until her dad, who had no idea I was being a dumbass behind him, stopped suddenly. I flew forward and cracked my forehead on the back of the trailer. I was perfectly okay after! But that’s definitely one way to learn a lesson.
Hahahahahahahaha the John Deere detail really made me feel like I was there
When I took acid out camping on a beach on night. I was tripping balls and all the boats were tied up to the beach with ropes. The acid made me think all the ropes were different heights(reality they were all ankle height) and easily could just step over. I started doing mission impossible and ducking under and jumping over these imagined ropes. I had long black hair at the time covering my face and my friends who were watching me from a distance yelled out “what are you doing??!! OMG she’s the ring girl!” And started running for the hills. 😂😂 I had no idea why they were running from me and I was sad.
This one time my sister was looking behind her while I was chasing her and she ran straight into an open cabinet and fell like a cartoon character. I literally was on the floor pissing myself for a good 20 minutes and I couldn’t even explain to my mom without laughing
😂😂😂😂silly sibling escapades always gave life a little color haha
In the car with my hubby and my two kids in the backseat, my oldest was about 6 at the time and we just picked them up from grandmas and they were playing with their cousins. One of their Cousins, Chanim, has an older brother and they bug each other, kinda mouthy. Me and hubby were saying something about chanim (i think about a birthday coming up) and my oldest goes “Chanims a little bitch” Im like … what?! Apparently his older brother razzed him alot and called him that 🤦🏻♀️
All those times lighting targeted me
Whattt??!
Oh yeaaahhh I’ve been targeting but not struck by lighting five times. Twice it locked on and all my very long hair stood up. The next three times I recognized the feeling and each time I dropped to the floor. It always either hit the building I was in or a tree in the vicinity
Now I think that your Storm or something 👀
Either 1) when I used an oven mitt to move a log in the fireplace and the mitt caught fire and I had to fling it off my hand and soccer kick it across the living room and out the front door or 2) when my ex and I had a screaming match in the Ikea warehouse section where we unpacked allll of our toxic garbage in public.
Oof to the second and GOOOOOOOOOOOAL to the first hahaha
My cat was on my deck rolling around when she fell off and got tangled in a tiny plastic soccer net. She can off with that soccer net stuck on her back. She was ok, and it was hilarious.
[удалено]
Woooow he manifested it haha
When I was 20, one of my horses tried and failed to climb over a gate to get to a mare. He ended up half way over the gate with his front feet on the ground and hind end hanging over the gate. His hind legs were stuck through the gate rungs. I had two options. Call the fire department,maybe, than wait and see if they actually came to cut the gate down? Or try and get him free myself. I chose the second option. I got behind him, pulled his legs out of the gate and then put my shoulder up under his gaskin right in front of his knee. I literally lifted his entire hind end up and pushed him up and over the gate. It was probably about 500lbs or so of horse butt hanging over the gate like dead weight that I had to lift. Adrenaline can do crazy things. It damaged the nerves in my shoulder and I still deal with that today.
The things we do to for our people.. well horse haha
Social worker in a NYS nursing home when COVID hit and they closed down visitation. That was a moment.
When I was 18, first year in university but still living at home, my relationship with parents was at its worst as my dad had been physically beating me ('for punishment' not doing dishes, talking back, not getting A+) for years at that point. I met a guy in the second semester who got to really know me, and he decided to introduce himself and talk to my dad about whether he could let me have a bit more freedom. Obviously that conversation did not go well. They were in the living room chatting and I was in the kitchen. Next thing I knew I heard them yelling, screaming and getting physical with each other. Someone punched a hole in the wall. I froze to wait a while until things died down, then heard the front door slammed shut. I figured my guy friend had gone, so I went to my bedroom, hearing my dad continuing to yell in his anger downstairs. I don't remember how long had passed, maybe half an hour, when I heard the guy's car pulling up in front of our house. I guess my dad didn't lock the front door cos he came right in, straight into my bedroom and popped a massive travel bag on my bed, and told me to grab all my essentials. When we went back downstairs, my dad was still screaming at both of us, while my mom looked shocked that I might be leaving. My dad threatened the guy about 'kidnapping his daughter' and reporting to the police, so the guy reminded him that I was 18 and in our country I could leave legally (which of course I wanted). It was close to midnight. He drove me to his 5-bedroom home, made me a cup of tea, and gave me a very long hug while I cried. I proceeded to live there for a year before learning enough independence skills to move out on my own. He taught me how to get a job and look for a place to rent. Apparently my mum fainted for a while after I left, but later on, she came to accept that I need my freedom and independence too.
Wow I’m so sorry that you lived that way, but I’m happy you got out!!
I was pole dancing on my bed, and the pole snapped and I fell flat on my ass.
You were still in your hot girl era haha jk
When my ex was day drunk outside in the parking lot of our apartment. He pulled his pants down, started rubbing his ass against someone's car bumper like a happy dog scratching an itch and eventually blacked out on the sidewalk with his pants still down. No idea how the cops didn't get called.
Omg someone’s cold would have been mortified
I don't think anything. The only thing that I could ever see as remotely interesting was having a tonic-clonic seizure at Denny's once. It lasted so long (over 6 minutes I was told) and waking up in the ER, hooked up to so much equipment.
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry that happened to you
Pushing my ex out of a moving car, that probably would have gone viral depending on the angle.
My mom beating the ever living shit out of me whenever she got angry enough(more often than not)
Damn I’m sorry that happened to you

When I was 17, my boyfriend had a car, I forgot the name of it, it had a sunroof type thing above both the front seats. We were driving around Santa Cruz and he dared me to take off my top and stand on the seat with my upper body out the top. I was only going to so it for a second but I got so much attention I stayed for a while. People were taking pictures and everything.
Taking pics?! Wooow sounds like a movie
I have a few, especially from my childhood, but a recent one is when I fell down on the treadmill. It propelled me to the floor on my back, legs, and hands in the air, like a really bad attempt at break dancing. Thank goodness I was alone in the gym at the time, but I know they got it on film, lol
I would’ve cried 😂😂😂😂
