I've got a story similar to that, since the last fight I was in was back in 8th grade of High School. I'm generally one of the nicest and least temperamental people you're likely to meet, but on this particular day I was having an incredibly poo poo day and I was only 2 periods in. I'm in Gym class, generally trying to mind my own business and this kid walks up to me and tries to start more poo poo.

He ends up knocking the ball I was half-assed playing with out of my hands, and it just broke something inside of me. I'm a pretty poo poo fighter in all honesty, but I threw an elbow, got punched, then returned it. I guess he saw something in my eyes because he got a scared look on his face, turned tail and ran.

The WTC moment was when I stomped on the ground, gave a berserker yell of "DEATH" (...I was in a rage and uncreative, but it got the point across I guess), and chased him down which I normally couldn't do. He falls down, I raise my foot to stomp on him....and regain my composure, put my foot back on the ground and offer my hand to help him back up.

High school being what it is, I still got a lot of "You lost the fight" kind of poo poo, but heard from a friend of mine that the outburst ended up scaring one of the seniors because he didn't expect something like that out of me.

Not a single fight in almost 10 years though. vv

Ugh how do you make a tragic drowning seem so mundane and stupid?

edit: found something juicy, with bonus casual racism.

Hmm, I saw this on another website but with an extra paragraph:

As we were towards the final stages of decent the emotions were starting to boil, it wasn't enough that I had wedged my way into a family's extremely private matter and had been gassing about it to everyone. I needed to do more so I adjusted the flaps, spoilers and trim. I pulled the gear up and could hear the passengers gasping as I pulled up rapidly. It took some pretty nifty captaining but I used the chemtrail button to write a message in the sky for the fallen soldier, it read: [Dead Soldiers Name] RIP. God bless the aggressive military actions of the United States. I'm a vet you know. Then during an invert manoeuvre I opened the cargo bay doors and the soldiers remains and several pieces of luggage fell out create the silotette of an eagle I'm the sky. Those passengers didn't mind the inconvenience one bit because dying while getting paid to kill is pretty heroic.

From my facebook. a friend of a friend:

Here's a story…
Yesterday I went to a music festival in Williamstown. It was awesome fun! On the train ride there, I noticed a lady with bandages all over her face, wearing dark glasses. I thought to myself "Sheesh…looks like she's had a bad run".
I then saw her again entering the festival a little way behind us.
I thought to myself "She's coming to the festival…what a goddamn trooper. I like her fringed jacket".
A little later again I saw her talking to my friend and I thought "Cool! She's getting into it". I kept seeing her everywhere.
I then started to really look at her, her brown boots, her black dress, her pink lipstick and small tufts of her pink hair poking through the bandages. She seemed SO familiar.
She noticed me staring at her from a few metres away and she stared right back.
I kept staring…she kept staring…
Then she removed her sunglasses and smiled. It was my goddamn amazing friend returned from months overseas!!! She had followed us to the festival, in disguise, to surprise us!! I still can't believe she did it. What a frickin' hilarious tricker.
The end.

"Abcde" is a name for a pet given by a small child that has no concept of naming. FWIW, it's a pretty cute name.

I have a pit bull, myself, but this all just seems like a bit much. One story is questionable yet semi-believable, but two makes it go into STDH territory for me.

I have one from an actual person I know, though I strongly suspect this is poo poo That Did Happen. To set the scene, he is - no lie - overseas teaching in Mongolia.

Also someone else in the Fark thread called him out on the STDH and he posted more additional blathering than I feel like quoting.

I read the entire saga, including his account of the litigation proceedings, and as a lawyer I have to say it all sounds pretty accurate. People with no knowledge of law or procedure routinely outshine attorneys, judges dispose of cases at "preliminary hearings" without bothering to wait for a party to actually move for dismissal or judgment, "gotcha" moments happen all the time at the last minute, and cases get dismissed for "vindictiveness." Also, rules for admission of evidence don't exist.

Jesus Christ goons love talking about how smart they were as children. The vaccination thread in D&D also had a couple pages of a bunch of posters talking about how they were reading at a college level at the age of 4 or whatever.

One of my friends is doing his thesis on mobile phone sales online. He found several phones that were sold on eBay for thousands of dollars and were skewing his data analysis, so he messaged their sellers.

Backstory: Been going out with this beautiful girl for some months. We have been having good time under the sheets with waves crashing at both ends. But as with women, it takes them a bit longer than the guys. Also, I absolutely love to see the joy on a woman's face after an orgasm. So to increase my karma points I decided equip myself with skills. Read about female anatomy and saw some nice science videos. Decided to bring theory into practical use last night. Success!
