When I took a huge shit but it was so large it wouldn't come out of my ass so I sat there for like 10 minutes trying to push it out but it felt like an hour

This.

When I nearly drowned because I thought I would float to the top like everyone else in the pool. :ohdear:
Kissing for the first time.
Just recently when I was in a movie theater and the guy in the row in front of me suddenly had a heart attack. Eventually everyone filed out of the movie theater when the paramedics showed up, I hope he's okay.
When I got caught hammering my meat.
When in third grade my mom told me she was getting a divorce right in my face, I then just sat there for a few seconds and ran to my room and slammed the door.
My mom was drunk one night and then my dad refused to drive her to the liquor store to get more vodka, then she asked me to and I refused. About 15 minutes later she decided to walk ~3 miles to the store herself. after about an hour it was starting to get dark out and it took me and my dad about 2 hours to find her. That 2 hours felt like 2 days.
When I fell down the stairs in my old house.
When I hit the floor, I stood up, but then couldn't do anything, at all for about three minutes.

No one was at home, no sounds were made or heard. Time was, for me, truely still.
Few times,
Most recent one was last year when for my final there were 5 possible essay questions, I knew 4 of them like the back of my hand and it was around 4 in the morning and I had to get up at 8 for the test so I decided to just call it quits. I walked into the class and the essay question was the one I didn't study. But I got an A any way because I knew more than I thought.
Of course I have more moments but they are too deep and personal :derp:
When my father died a couple months ago.
Back in eighth grade, I was correcting the teacher in science class about something or other. She silences me, saying something like "This isn't up for debate". I sit there brooding for a second, angry about being shut up.
Cue the girl across from me, who I've had a crush on for god knows how long: "Way to go."

When I was pretty young, maybe somewhere between 5 and 8, I can't recall my age too well from old memories, but anywho. My relatives from Hawaii were visiting and they have two sons that are about 10-12 years older then me, so they were probably in their mid-late teens at the time.
So me, my mom, dad, sister, and my relatives are out in Seattle walking around the boardwalks or whatever, looking for a place to eat lunch when one of my cousins picks me up and holds me over an opening in the boardwalk ( about a 40 foot drop down into the water ). He was doing this as sort of a joke but time pretty much froze for me because it looked like a fucking long ways down, I was pretty much shitting my pants.
When I first started working at 7-11 I had it stamped into my mind that I was supposed to ask people if they wanted matches with their cigarettes. Someone had come in and asked for Kodiak chewing tobacco, which hadn't happened before this person came in.
I handed him the pack and routinely asked him if he wanted matches. We had a staring contest for about 6 seconds before he just said "No." and walked away. My friend next to me started laughing.
Those 6 seconds felt like an eternity.
When my computer bluescreened the first time.
Anyone ever gone snow-mobiling here? I used to do it regularly, until I moved to the fucking south.
Anyway, I was snow-mobiling with a couple of my friend's out by a lodge they had found the previous week. We picked that lodge because a massive river ran along side it, perfect for idiots like us to gun the machines. so we did, prolly traveled 30 or so miles down the river before it hit 3PM or so and started getting dark. We stopped for a minute to piss and eat a few snacks, they were ready to go but I had to go piss before we left. I told them I would only be a second and that they should just go ahead. Anyone who lives in a tundra like Alaska knows that that was probably the dumbest idea I could have made.
Anyway, I finished up and got back on my machine, quickly realized it was now almost pitch black, hit my brights and gunned it faster than the way there. I was going about 110 mph when I hit the tree.
Yeah, A fucking tree.
I saw it at the last second and swerved (Swerving doesn't work so well on the ice going 110 mph) The front left skid hit the tree and the snowmobile stopped. I didn't. I flew through the windshield, snapping it off (They're made of plastic), got a good 10 seconds of air time before I hit the ground, bounced, rolled and slid, and smashed my back into another tree.I woke up in the hospital in Anchorage. Luckily my ELT in my pack went off when I hit the tree.
Turns out I broke 4 ribs, got a bad concussion, nearly snapped my spine, shattered most of my right arm, and got a compound fracture in my lower leg. The machine was totaled (Not like it mattered, I wasn't going to be using it for a long time anyway lol)
Tl;dr made dumb decisions in Alaskan wilderness, and I broke myself.
