One time I. . .

My ex and I used to go fishing a lot in one of those molded two-man boats with a trolling motor.
One day we were fishing at the lake here in town.
We never had much luck in large lakes.
We headed towards the shallows to try it there before we gave up.
There was a fish-finder attached to the bottom of the boat.
It had mud and gunk on it and my ex asked me to clean it off.
I leaned over and reached down grabbing mud off of it and over I went.
Head first, chair and all into the water.
I stood up, it was up to my thighs.
The first thing I noticed was this man and kid standing on the bank laughing.
I had to laugh, standing there with red mud all over me.
After a couple more mishaps in that boat I nagged enough for the ex to buy a regular boat.
Then I lost interest in fishing. Lol4 -
This one time in grade 9 I stuffed my bra with TP and it fell out on me in front of my entire class. If only there was an epidemic at that time to blame my hoarding of TP I would of at least had a reasonable excuse for my behaviour.10

Halfway through the recovery I heard a loud crash. I noticed the poor guy had probably fainted, must have fallen against the shelves which held the organ jars and some of them had broken. The formalin and tissue was on the floor and on him. The smell was intense and gave me an immediate severe headache. The guy had also busted his lip in the fall.
Unfortunately, I was sterile and had no backup sterile gloves so I could not abandon my procedure to help him. I had to finish my job and harvest the eyes. Luckily, a few minutes later another security guard came in having heard the loud noise to help him up.
I asked him what happened, because I thought he was used to this kind of thing.... he said something along the lines of “something about the eyes creeped me out”. Never again would I allow others to observe a tissue recovery with me. I had a bad headache for a week after that. Formalin is an apparent neurotoxin.
That’s so funny 😂😂😂

You win!
My little tale of the shoulder pad that somehow detached while I was out all dressed up fancy and migrated down to my cleavage area so it appeared to be a wandering boob enhancing pad (and yes, I am the sort of female who would need them) pales in comparison.
I like your story 😋2 -
One time in NY, my friend and I rented a little boat to paddle out onto the little lake or pond they have in Central Park. We somehow rowed over a rock and got stuck in the middle. We almost lost our oars too. Luckily, another boat came along and dislodged us.3

One time I sang in a talent show. My brother made me this dope *kitten* box. I was in maybe 2nd grade. It was really something. 🤣 It was my debut and also final performance.

One time I hit a handicap pole in a Target parking lot. And *kitten* my car right up. Not the body at all, but the wheel and the frame. And I was without it for 5 1/2 weeks. And it was only a few months ago. Stupid pole.4

One time I hung out with some internet friends and one thought they were a vampire and the other a werewolf. (I realize this is basically twilight but it was pure coincidence) I could not get them to break character and they'd argue you about it but I'm used to hanging out with insane people so we got drunk anyway. I somehow got talked into letting the vampire cut me with a Bobby pin and he drank my blood. He acted like he couldn't stop and the wolf guy slapped my arm out of his hands. As weird as those guys were I still hung out with them a few times and I think that makes me a weirdo too. 😕🤷🏻♀️😎👽🧛♂️🐺4

This one time at band camp... oh wait 😆5

One time I decided to go to a twenty one pilots concert alone. I flew to Baltimore to see them. Waited in line from 6 or 7 am until the show that evening (well we didn’t have to stay in line actually, we got wrist bands). It was amazing and I want to see them again.(I actually saw them the next week in Minneapolis too with my 3 oldest sons). And one of the coolest things, a college age girl found me on Reddit and asked if I wanted to wait in line with her so I did. And that made it even funner. I was like 5 rows from the stage. 😍

One time I forgot how to pronounce the word "the". It was the strangest thing.
I was reading something and then I put my phone down and asked myself "wait how do I say that word?
C'mon I know the word "the", man!
I see it, its familiar, and I can spell it out, but I just could not sound it out to save my mom's life in that particular moment.
"The"
Craziest feeling ever. Had me googling dementia in my 30s.

The nuns didn’t like me.

És Brazileira? 😉
Falas Português? 💛
Nope, I’m from Oklahoma.
Dad’s job had us living there in the 70s.
Nao mais, I did, picked it up really quickly but I’ve forgotten all but a few words. 😔3 -
My cadaver patient was down in the morgue... I had to finish my job and harvest the eyes.
I almost fainted reading this. < Respect... hat tip to your fortitude >
I come from a completely medical family, from varying drs to nurses to techs & am the only squeamish one who can't even watch someone change a bandage without feeling weak. I can't tell you how many times at gatherings, that I'd p/u my plate & dizzy with knees weak, stumble away from the table as my relatives talked about patients with gangrene, oozing, amputations, autopsies & many assorted ailments, while eating... nothing phased them.
Several times, I explored going to school for something medical/dental & even shadowed people for a few hrs in hospitals... just couldn't handle it... too bad, cuz they all enjoyed their careers, most moved upwards into other areas of the med profession & they all make good livings.
To the thread, one time I...
... was swimming regularly at my local health club. After a few months, I noticed that everyone began staring at me as I walked by... everyone. Not only did they stare, they stared with mouths agape.
I was 20 & my ego inflated to the point that I was thinking I must look supermodel, Olympic-sensational after my whole 3-mos of swimming. I began slowly strutting from the locker room to the pool, even walking to the far end of the pool so treat for all, they could see me in all my fit glory as I sauntered passed, flipping my hair, posing & melting in their adulation. What a joy it must have been for them.
One night, as I was washing out my bathing suit, while wearing glasses (I've always been blind as a doorknob), I realized why everyone was staring. The entire backside of my bathing suit was thread bare... completely see through. Completely.
Turns out, if you get into the pool & drag your behind on the cement rather than lift & gently place yourself into the water, well, I guarantee that in 3-mos time, you're suit, too, will look like nude pantyhose & you, too, can be a moon over Miami.
I was 2 things... angry that no one ever said anything... really, did they think it was purposeful?
And, second, after the humiliating realization that I'd been mooning the entire locker room & pool area for at least 1-wk, I had to switch days/times I would swim, so no one would ever see me again. I considered buying a Groucho fake nose & glasses & black wig, but realized, no one would recognize my face, only my... well, you know.
It was a great "get over yourself" learning experience, early on in life. Since then, ego in tact.

When we were living in Brasil I
snuck out the car and drove around town for an hour or so then hit the curb hard, wheel folded under, axle was toast, practically in front of our house.
Limped against the curb in front of the house, bad side in. Lol
My parents saw it anyway! 😱2 -
One time I was photographed during a field performance and was apparently confused in a major way. 😂🙈
