I didn't learn how to tie my shoes until 9th grade, I thought I was alone

[QUOTE=Apache249;37263587]You should have just gotten out of bed and walked out of the room without saying anything.[/QUOTE] Oh god. I'll have to do that next time.

How the fuck do you not learn to tie shoes are you guy the people that wear velcro shoes well into high school I mean honestly it does not take that much effort to learn to tie shoes... especially if you're older

I used to wear skater shoes(is there a better term?) for a while. Just rammed those laces down deep into my shoe. Then I decided I like to run and had my baptism of fire then.

[QUOTE=kaine123;37207356]Oh man too many to count. I remember a girl with a hair loss problem asked me out to the 6th grade end of the year dance and seeing as she was actually pretty nice and one of my friends already. i said yes, but because so many of the people going were extremely cruel jackasses they pointed and laughed at Her and I until she ran out crying. I followed her out and even though she said it wasn't my fault I still felt guilty for not trying to protect her or something.[/QUOTE] What total asshats! Good on you for at least trying to show her a good time. Do you know where/how she is nowadays?

Seriously, it hardly matches the music at all. On topic: When you can do something awesome until you want to show it to someone. At this point, all skill in doing this thing is lost, and you make a fool out of yourself trying to do it. e.g. You: Hey man, I can dump 93 full bags of pop rocks into my mouth without spitting any out! Someone else: Sounds cool man, let me see You: alright here I go (proceed to violently expel 93 bags worth of pop rocks from your mouth all over the place) Of course, this isn't the most realistic example but you get the idea.

In 6th grade our counselor or something was doing a presentation on bullying and how it affects people. At this point, she knew me as the class clown or something, I got in trouble a few times I suppose, I don't really know the cause but she called me up in the front of the class, I guess it's because she knew me well. She then proceeded to shake me around by my hood because I was wearing a hoodie and pushed me around right in front of all my friends and classmates. I felt very ridiculed and went straight to my desk after she was done, put my hood on and hid my face on the table in shame. She then confirmed her point and went on. She didn't even apologize to me either, this was probably one of the bigger instances that led to the path of social anxiety.

honestly I didn't really get down tying shoes until I was in 12th grade in high school. I was always trying to tie it a complicated way but and I finally figured out how to do it the easy way. silly me

hahaha, tying shoelaces is not that hard. Next you guys will tell me that you don't know how to ride a bike

[QUOTE=supersnail11;37251938]how like seriously how[/QUOTE] I do not know the proper alphabet order in Russian (my mother tongue), yet I perfectly know the order in English.

I tied my first shoe at Disneyland. I was fucking proud. Don't know why Disneyland though... :v:

[QUOTE=Goodthief;37266827]hahaha, tying shoelaces is not that hard. Next you guys will tell me that you don't know how to ride a bike[/QUOTE]Hey now, My best friend didn't know how to ride a bike untill he was 13.

I never learned how to ride a bike

Onto the subject of not knowing things you should really know. I don't know my months in order, at least not for certain. I got kicked out of school several times (I was a horrible kid) and must've missed that lesson. I keep forgetting what order the last 4 after August go.

Once I walked into a mirror at foot locker because I thought it was a doorway. Also I fell asleep in class once and since the next 'class' was Lunch period, nobody felt it important to wake me up. I woke up halfway into the next class surrounded by people I didn't know. I just thought 'fuck it' and went back to sleep until the bell rang. And another time me and my friend were hanging out with this one girl, and when it came time for her to leave, I hugged her and accidentally said "good luck" instead of "good bye". [editline]16th August 2012[/editline] Oh yeah and once I was being questioned by a cop at like 1 in the morning, and I was nervous and suddenly forgot everything including my age and date of birth. That was embarrassing.

[QUOTE=Raygen;37255744]Back to about half-way through the 3rd year of high school (everybody uses different school systems, is confusing, I won't use grades) - I was about 14 or 15 years old and I still had German classes. So me and my best friend would always sit in the very front row, right opposite the teacher's desk. Our German teacher was kind of laid-back and relaxed, she never really punished you for doing things, she just made sarcastic retorts. But you still respected her because she was very nice. Anyways what me and my best friend would always do when she was away, or helping out one of the students behind us, or just not watching, was take the PC on her desk. Turn around the monitor, the keyboard and the mouse, and we would just be little children on that PC. Switching desktop icons around or typing things in the URL bar for everyone to see on the beamer when that was on. She had caught us in the act several times, but would just make us reverse our changes and that was it. It was only later on when she got sick of it and made more serious threats and we stopped doing it. Anyway, on her desktop were these two icons, both of them leading to internet browsers. One of them Internet Explorer, the other Mozilla Firefox. The general consensus amongst every student in school being that Mozilla Firefox is superior to Internet Explorer, I took the Internet Explorer icon and instead of having it point towards the actual browser, I pointed it to a short movie that I whipped up in Windows Movie Maker during that class. It was just 45 seconds of a plain blue background with scrolling text, with things like "haha, this isn't Internet Explorer" and "you should go and cry in the corner for using Internet Explorer" and more childish stuff like that. 45 seconds of comments on the stupidity of using IE when you have Firefox installed as well. Since then, I had never heard anything about it. People may have clicked it, I don't know. But they left it there. For 18 months that little icon just sat there on that desktop in a classroom on the first floor of my school. So, 18 months since I created it, I had long forgotten about it. I no longer messed with the computers, let alone desktop shortcuts, since many of the teachers were not as nice as that one German teacher. I was 16 at the end of the 4th year. The very end, like, the last hour before summer vacation, the last hour of our 4th year. Our French teacher, who was our mentor, wanted to show us something on the internet. And you all know where this is going now. She just HAD to click on the Internet Explorer icon that had sat there, unnoticed, for 18 months. In front of the entire class, on the beamer, this big blue screen popped up and this text started rolling across the screen. The teacher asking "what the hell is this", the students commenting "haha, some moron must have done this". I'll describe the colour of my cheeks at that time with RGB code: 255,0,0.[/QUOTE] Oh shit, this reminded me of a certain event in high school. Our biology-teacher was the most relaxed person I've ever known and me and my friend also used to do shit on her PC during recesses etc. We usually browsed the 1000-gifs thread for laughs using the projector to show for the rest of the class. As we were doing this one day, the recess was about to end. The PC decided to crash on a HUGE picture of one of those badger-badger-badger -badgers with a giant dick swinging around. It went like this "OHSHIT scroll past that, fuck, it froze" *Teacher slams the door shut* "Alright, time to start the second lesson" *Giant badger with a huge dick pointing upwards is on the wall* "WHAT THE FUCK GUYS?!?"

[QUOTE=ThatCrazyGmanV2;37267918]I never learned how to ride a bike[/QUOTE] it's ok, you're not alone

Another short one: I was in class having a conversation with a friend while ignoring what the teacher was saying, I can't remember what my friend said, but I remember saying "That's fucking awesome!" fairly loudly whilst the teacher was talking about concentration camps. since then I've been know as the guy who thinks genocide is funny :v:

Wish someone would make a pair of good-looking velcro shoes.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;37271306]good-looking velcro shoes.[/QUOTE] good one

I got a sweet pair of velcro shoes though. They look pretty classy and have 3 strips instead of a regular 2.

[QUOTE=Goodthief;37266827]hahaha, tying shoelaces is not that hard. Next you guys will tell me that you don't know how to ride a bike[/QUOTE] I didn't learn how to ride a bike until my freshman year of high school. No joke. The gym teachers had a "pick-your-activity" week, and I picked mountain biking, apparently having misread it as using the stationary bikes like we did in middle school. It wasn't until too late that I realized, [I]holy fuck[/I], we're gonna be riding [I]real bikes.[/I] The situation ended up not being so embarrasing after all, though, because I managed to teach myself how to ride within the first class and I felt like a badass.

[QUOTE=simsfreak63;37263376]That's when you say "weeel I guess I don't need THEESE then...", put them back, then look at her seductively.[/QUOTE] believe me i tried she only laughed more did get her number tho, we're good friends now (have slept with her couple o times)

One time in kindergarten the teacher announced it was "home time". I stood up from my chair and said "yes!" excitedly. Apparently when I stood up my chair flipped over and when I went to sit down again I fell backwards, hit my head on it and started crying.
