tell me a story

edited April 2019 in Social Entropy++
hey se++, one of the main reasons i remember joining this site was for the personal stories some people would tell sometimes (one that sticks out is some dude who had just finished jerkin off and then his dad busted in (i think he had to wipe with his blanket in a rush) and hopped under the same jizzy blanket, much to the dudes horror)

can you tell me a story? it can be funny, educational, sad, gross, etc but i only ask that the story you tell be true

here’s one for me:

a few months after i got married i still had to get my groomsmen their gifts. one of my friends had just gotten back in touch with his dad and they were gonna go up in the mountains somewhere and go camping. so i thought i’d get him a little wood cutting axe

so i go to home depot and i get that little ax but i notice there’s a sticker on it that i don’t want there when i give it to him, so i start picking at it and walk over to the trash can to throw it away. but it’s taking a bit longer than i thought, so i spend a decent amount of time picking at the side of this ax trying to get this sticker off

while i’m doing this a kid and his dad walk by and the kid says “dad stranger danger!” and i look at them and then look down at this ax i’m creepily picking at by this trash can

and the kids dad is like that’s right, stranger danger! and then he comes over to me and says “we just watched the john walsh documentary and i taught him about the importance of staying away from strangers” and i said we’ll thats a good lesson to teach

and then i kept picking at the sticker instead of leaving like anyone else would have

i’m glad i didn’t get forcefully removed by security

the end! now it’s your turn!

    Now, this is a story all about how
    My life got flipped-turned upside down
    And I'd like to take a minute
    Just sit right there
    I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel Air
    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
    And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
    When a couple of guys who were up to no good
    Started making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

    one time in high school i was pooping in the library bathroom which was unisex, and had a key

    well, i guess there 2 keys because while i was in there some girl unlocked the door, but instead of walking right in and recognizing her terrible mistake, she was engaged in a conversation with someone out of frame

    this conversation continued, with the door ajar, for at least 2 minutes, with people just walking by her in the hallway, clear view of what was going on within

    for some reason, I did not interrupt any of this

    she finally turned to me and I went "hey" in probably the coolest way anyone could under the circumstances

    she said nothing, made only the slightest expression of surprise, and closed the door

    You should have explained to the child that he is far more likely to be kidnapped or murdered by his own father than some stranger.

    What's the dad gonna do, start arguing with a man holding an axe?

    Total power move.

    One time I was driving through Atlanta at about 2am.

    I'm drinking those little hugs (basically pure sugar water) because it's keeping me awake.

    Inevitably I have to pee but I'm still in Atlanta and I want to get out of the city before I stop.

    However, my bladder disagrees. I need to pee immediately.

    So I exit at the next exit thinking I'll find a gas station...nope.

    I'm surrounded by gigantic million dollar homes.

    It doesn't matter though, I have to piss.

    So that why I pissed in the yard of a gigantic million dollar home in Atlanta at 2am.

    I played trombone in marching band in high school and one time I fucked up a kid's mouth REAL BAD cuz he wasn't where he was supposed to be and instead was directly behind and to the left of me when we were ready to do an about face.

    And it was BAD. Multiple dentist visits, due to the first one failing to notice that there were some shards of his teeth that had been embedded into his lip.

    I was with some friends on our way to Blockbuster Video to rent some movies.

    I kept farting in the car and then I got that feeling...I needed to poop... right now.

    I managed to hold it until we got to Blockbuster but then on my way in it happened...

    I went to the counter and got the key for the bathroom and went inside.

    Fortunately my boxers caught all of it so I rinsed them out and buried them in the trash and went around the rest of the day without underwear.

    But nobody ever knew.

    Recently, too, a bunch of friends got together and I learned how to play a few new games including Hail Hydra. It's this board game that's put together kind of like Doppelganger with hidden hydra agents that try to sabotage the Shield team as they work to try and defeat the villains.

    Four games, four motherfucking games in a row, I was dead certain this one guy was Hydra. He would just continue to act in the shadiest manner possible. I called him out multiple times, lying about the cards he was playing, one time I was able to PROVE it with Daredevil's ability that lets me look at a card someone's played before they're all collected. "I got him, I got this motherfucker dead to rights" I thought.

    Nope! NOT ONCE was he actually Hydra. Even the last game, when we actually were about to win if this asshole had just used his hero power, which everyone was yelling at him to do (Including the actual Hydra people because they kinda wanted to see Shield win for once!) and he just wouldn't. He was their MVP without ever being on their team.

    The last time I was at PAX-South, I drank skim milk in the outdoor hot-tub that was full of dead leaves.

    While leaving it I ran into some strangers I had briefly interacted with the previous year, and they invited me to drink a bottle of bourbon with them. So I returned to my room, cleaned up, and went back down to drink with some friendly strangers.

    During our conversation I learn that they are the close friends of the guy who has repeatedly come in 2nd-place in the PAX-South Omegathon. After a few years of always be a bridesmaid though, he won. A few minutes go by and that Omegathon champion actually joins us and sit down. I congratulate him on his victory.

    I then notice that he reminds me of someone. I can't quite place it though... A few more minutes go by and it comes to me.

    "Hey, has anyone told you that you look just like the American version of Goku from Dragonball Evolution?"
    "what?"
    "It's just your hair. You have American Goku's hair."

    He becomes incredibly frustrated, gets up, and leaves.

    While leaving his friends shout, "Goodbye Goku!!!! See you in the morning, Son-Goku!"

    I think I may have ruined his years-in-the-making victory in one comment.

    One time I was stuck in central Prague railway station at 1am

    It was busier than you'd think, given the time, but most of the people were drunk skinheads and I was 17 and timid so I just sat on my suitcase and avoided eye contact. After I'd been there half a hour or so a nondescript middle aged dude sat down on a bench near me. He was humming "In the summertime". I remember the song very clearly.
    Over the next few minutes he slowly slid closer and closer to me until he was within arms reach. Then he leant forward and proffered a card. I didn't know what to do, so I took it. He winked, and said "If you want work - call!" and then left. So I looked at the card. It was for a Czech massage and escort service. I wondered how to feel about that for a while, then settled on 'oddly flattered'.

    Then I took a 18 hour train journey and didn't go to the toilet even once. This has been a story about my capacious bladder.

    Your forum handle has somehow worked it's way into a highly prominent position on my phone's dictionary in the last couple weeks. Several very common words, such as 'again' occasionally get replaced by it, or at least in the top row of suggestions. I have to be constantly vigilant lest I drop a complete non sequitur in a text conversation.

    And that is my story about @Doobh

    I've never been punched. But my mother did hit me in the face with a golf club a couple of times.

    When I was around ten, we vacationed at a beach town that had a mini-golf course that we frequented quite a lot. There was one hole that was basically skeeball, but my mom kept pushing the ball up the ramp rather than hitting it, always leading to the same max-stroke penalty. Finally one time I convinced her to just go for it, I excitedly lined up behind her to see what would happen and *crack* she caught me flush in the nose on the back swing.

    A year later... same course, same hole, same conversation, this time I very cleverly walked around to the other side of her. She reared back, smacked the ball and *crack* caught me flush in the nose on the follow-through.

    Now I have sleep apnea because one of my nostrils get blocked when I lay down, but not always the same nostril, and I can't help but wonder if maybe those two incidents have something to do with it?
