Childhood Fail Thread

[ALYKZANDYR]

have you gotten to the root of this since then?

Yes, several years ago. Now I'm far too busy working hard to achieve my goals to act like a child on the internet. I look at the stuff I used to say and write and It looks like its from a completely different person.

- When I was ~5 I turned my parent's stereo up as loud as it would go and took my batman big wheel to see how far I could hear it from... I think I got 4 houses away before someone actually turned it down.

- Around the same time, I was playing tag in preschool and tagged a kid who fell into a picnic table and split his lip/jaw open enough that you could see a few teeth through it. Nobody could get ahold of his parents, so we drove him to emerg. Never saw him again.

- I was running up and down the hall at home, tripped, and put my head through the glass pane in the door, but somehow was completely unhurt.

- The year before my grandfather passed from cancer, he bought me some front loading pedal tractor, like an early '90s version of this:

5-8 years later once the steering mechanism was completely worn out, pedals had snapped off and we didn't fit on it anymore, we decided it was a great idea to take it to the top of a big, long hill by our house and push each other down to see how fast we could go. I reached the 3/4 mark and got to the speed where I couldn't correct for changes in the sloppy steering, so I flipped it and badly skinned my leg from my calf up to my ass on the right side.

- When I was maybe ~12 I uninstalled a videogame from my parents' computer and somehow the uninstall process bricked the computer and lost everything.

- Age 13-14 I helped my other grandfather cut down trees on the edge of his field. I'd be in his 1/4 ton truck and he'd have a cable from the hitch up to the tree to try to pull it down into the field, vice the woods. This didn't exactly work, sometimes the tree fell the other way and launched the truck backwards with me in it.

If the tree came down the right way, he would limb it, and I'd drag it out to the road to cut it up further. One time, I had a single log attached and was ready to drag it out. I had a pretty decent path made, so I figured I could go a little quicker. I didn't notice my grandfather sitting on the tailgate, so as soon as I hit a bump, he launched off and I nearly ran him over with a near-2' diameter tree trunk.

don't feel bad, the first thread I ever made was me asking for help on taking my db surrounds off

Brother chased me with an automatic pen thing, fell and cracked my forehead open and needed like 5 stitches. They put on this hospital bed thing with this cover over me and I kicked through that shit and was screaming the whole time because claustrophobia lol

Jumping on a trampoline, leg lands between two of the springs, broken leg.

I was in our old old minivan, and you know how if you put money into a vending machine or something, and hit the button it comes back? Put all the coins into the CD slot, waiting for them to drop down near the shifter... never fell through.. cost my parents a new radio!

and like 2 days ago, I'm no longer a child but whatever. I am refreshing some RS wheels and it's really cold in my garage, so I would put the cans of paint in front of a space heater for a couple minutes. This time the can was in front of it for probs like 10 minutes. I wasn't even thinking about the pressure and everything. So I grabbed it and was like uh this is pretty hot. Shake it three times, on the third shake, I hear a huge boom and the can dissapears. I'm like wtf?! The can just exploded (maybe almost died?) Looking for the can, girlfriend comes down with my dad. Dad's like where is the can, I'm like I don't know. He's like what do you mean you don't know? I'm like it dissapeared.... Girlfriend looks up, the can went through the drywall ceiling. I don't think it would have killed me but my gawd.
