[QUOTE=tommofandan;24048846]When my dog died, I sat there bawling my eyes out, holding him. :smith:[/QUOTE] what the fuck you held a corpse for a long period of time? wash your fucking hands

Hurricane charlie back about a month before Katrina. I lived in Orlando. We had all the windows boarded up and could not see daylight. When we opened the door to get pizza, the only hot food we had a for days, I almost shat my self that it was day time. My dog did not care either way and still looked out the window.

When I was 12 my neighbors wanted to get back at my mom for breaking contact with her after they said some nasty things. So one day during the summer I was at home with my brother who was 9 and I was playing Halo on PC. I got a call from my mom and she sounded all upset. She told me that a police officer would be coming by the house. I was just like "what the fuck" and a few moments later I hear a knocking on the door. I refused to open it. He said he was a police officer and I ignored him. The second time he said it and knocked on the door and I opened it. He asked me for my date of birth and told me I was too young to be home alone (I was twelve years old; how is that too young?). The cop looked through the door into my house and then went outside and began talking on his radio. A few minutes later my mom arrived at the house with a few officers with her. I could see she was crying. I called my dad because I had no idea what else to do. I started crying while I was talking to him and he had no idea what was going on. My mom ran into the room and just held my brother and myself. We were all crying. As it turns out, my asshole neighbors reported that I was doing really irresponsible shit while I was home alone with my brother and that my mom was negligent, etc. Keep in mind all of this was bullshit. So the next week a DSS agent comes to my house to interview us all and she determines that there was no criminal negligence and that my neighbors were making shit up. The whole cop situation lasted maybe 15 minutes but I remember it felt like forever. tl;dr: My neighbors try to get me and my brother taken away from our parents and time felt like it was standing still.

That time I shoved a popsicle stick slightly too far up my ass and I couldn't get out and I cried myself to sleep then I forgot about it and in the morning my shit had lots of blood in it from all the splinters and i had to go to the doctor and it was embarassing and it turned out i had a hemarrhoid and it had burst and i had to have so much fucking surgery, bro.

When I woke up one school morning when I was 8 to know that my father died at a award ceremony.

The day I found fast threads. Also, I was hitting a glass table with a hammer when I was little and, WADYA KNOW, it breaks into little peices and it went slo mo and fell to the ground.

[QUOTE=jmanbag;24050271]I really should change that, shouldnt I.[/QUOTE] Yeah. You really, really should.

[QUOTE=Benf199105;24048769]I was stood out at the bottom of the avenue with my flatmates waiting for a takeaway when this red car came round the corner. I thought nothing of it until it sort of started swerving and the back wheels locked up. I just stood on the street where i was watching the car as it skidded towards me, and for like 10 seconds i just stood, and at the last second just moved onto the sidewalk and the car spun out over where i had been standing and up the avenue. I was just like frozen, rabbit in the headlights i guess.[/QUOTE] Reminds me of the time I was on the interstate riding in a car with some friends in the middle of the winter here in Illinois. Guy driving hit an ice patch and the car swerved into the opposite lane (no median/barrier for some reason) in front of an 18-wheeler. We were stuck on another ice patch spinning donuts in front of that 18-wheeler for what felt like an hour, then the tires hit a rough spot and the driver swerved back onto the right side of the road. Everybody in the car except for the driver just froze, like you said you did.

DSS came for one of my friends because of a similar situation back when I was a kid in Oklahoma. His was living with his dad, and both of them got along fine. Everything would have gone okay but the dad got really fucking pissed at the DSS agent and the kid was in tears. They ruled that the dad wasn't fit to be a parent and he got sent off to his mom. The dad lost visitation rights. [QUOTE=bobste;24049118]when i pulled that trigger[/QUOTE] Touché.

When I forgot to scout my base and got cannon rushed.

When I didn't see my laptop in the dark, trod on it. Thus breaking the screen.

When I saw 3 american jets (fighter planes of some sort) out my airplane window

Giving a loaded handgun to a 7 year old...umm yeah...

[QUOTE=Ezhik;24048897]I was walking on a sidewalk, back in the first grade, and I tripped. Then I just sat down. There was blood dripping from my forehead, but no pain. I wasn't crying or anything. Just sitting. I only got back to normal when someone actually noticed me and my injury.[/QUOTE] Holy crap. The same thing happened to me when I was in 3rd grade. I got hit by a ball and fall down, and I didn't feel any pain, but my forehead was bleeding a ton. It was so weird.

Was hunting with my Dad and Uncle, they let me take a shot at a deer, right as the arrow went to it's chest, it looked me in the eye, such a weird feeling. He tasted fucking great though.

[QUOTE=lawl;24050814]Giving a loaded handgun to a 7 year old...umm yeah...[/QUOTE] this would be funny if i was that aforementioned 7 year old

~3 days ago, Spanish class

First run in with the police. First kiss with my current girlfriend. First Fight. Fist time having sex. In no particular order.

Immediately before my first kiss. Not very depressing, breaks the mood. I know.

First run in with the police. (at prison now) First kiss with my current 'girlfriend' First jail fight First time getting raped. [editline]11:15[/editline] in that particular order

[QUOTE=lawl;24050814]Giving a loaded handgun to a 7 year old...umm yeah...[/QUOTE] Like I said, man; I'm from Oklahoma.

When I kissed a girl. In my dream.

when my mom called from the hospital in may, telling me dad was gone, those few seconds where i was reaching for the red button on the phone seemed endless... also fell off my bike a couple of years ago, badly cut myself in my left arm and right leg, the bike had the front wheel and the handlebars in the same direction (like at a store) i had a massive gash on my forehead, and i felt nothing, just walked home.. next day when i woke up, fuck that hurt

[QUOTE=lawl;24050814]Giving a loaded handgun to a 7 year old...umm yeah...[/QUOTE] What's wrong with that? You act like guns are a WMD and seven year olds are all bloodthirsty maniacs.

When I went on 4Chan for the first time. I was never the same again.

When I was young and my mom came home from the vet and said my cat had died, that cat had been with me since the say I was brought home from the hospital. :smith:

When i ran over an old lady with my bike. Oh wait...

When I was playing Club Baseball (high level) and while daydreaming in the mid field, an outfielder threw a ball to second base, and literally came within millimeters of my eyes. Looking back it still feels like time just slowed down to a crawl at the point it came into view. The coach said I had just cheated brain damage or death.
