Funny Stories in your Life

[Pantheraman]

As much of a pain life can sometimes be, it also brings a bunch of situations for us to be in that create funny stories.

Here you can share some of your funny stories. I'll start with this one.


It was in April of my senior year of high school. Early in the morning when it was still chilly outside, because I live in Ohio so why wouldn't it be chilly outside at this time of the year. After I getting dressed, I went downstairs and made a peanut butter and Nutella sandwich. Probably not most people's first idea of breakfast, but it's pretty good. I'm there in the kitchen, eating this sandwich...I'm not paying any attention to any noises outside whatsoever.

After eating, I grabbed my stuff and went outside to wait for the bus. I was the kind of person who waited past 18 to get my drivers license out of nervousness, so I took the bus through my whole school career.

So I stand at the edge of the driveway and wait...and wait...and wait.

Then I noticed the sun was higher in the sky than normal. And that's when I began to realize I probably missed the bus. Instead of going back inside and having my dad call me off school like a normal person...

I walked.

I'm wearing a thick black coat with jean pants and cowboy boots as well. So naturally I begin to get hot as the sun gets higher in the sky. Not to mention my suspicions were confirmed when my bus driver drove right past me on my way to the school. When I finally got to the school and into first period, my teacher said "I knew something was missing this morning" and when I told them what happened and the distance I walked, I was met with laughter.

And it turned out later on that I apparently walked for about 50 minutes.

Needless to say, I was distracted by food.

I will say here one phenomenon I have experienced multiple times since there was nowhere else to put it.
I wouldn't describe it as predicting the future... as much as it is curious suggestions of what will occur in the future.
One peculiar example... at a Finnish train station I saw a sign on which I figured there was a poorly-drawn dog. I then joked that the sign was not only for dogs, but for any quadruped. A year later in Paris I saw someone with a guinea-pig on a train.

I recall when I was planning for my Germany trip I was thinking about the aquarium next to Berlin Zoo and was looking for information on the internet about it. I then found out there was two aquariums in Berlin; the one at the Zoo and the Aquadome. I joked to myself, 'of course there must be two solely to confuse me...' that year, the Aquadome ruptured. Perhaps if I planned it a year later I wouldn't have to find such confusion!

But perhaps the most uncanny example thus far. I was suddenly curious about centenarials, in regards to how many people lived to the age of 100 years, and various notable or famous people who died at the age of 100. It wasn't long after that when Henry Kissinger died... at age 100!

When I was around 4-5, I thought that reindeer would turn into giraffes when Winter was over.

Like how Aristotle thought that robins turned into redstarts?

In middle school, we were tasked with creating and performing short skits for I what recall was a Spanish class. This took place in a modular classroom and the skit required me to fall down at the end.

We perform the skit in front of the entire class and up comes the part where I fall down.

Instead of falling to my knees then laying down or something like that, I basically swung both my legs out from under me with enough momentum that I was parallel with the floor. The same floor that I then landed on with a reverberating BOOM that shook the entire modular classroom. The only other thing about this story I remember is that all the air in my body was knocked out by the impact and it took me a second to spring back up like nothing happened.
