When I was in Elementary School, I used to get teased a lot for embarassing things that always managed to happen to me. For example, accidentally wetting my pants when I wasn’t able to make it to the bathroom in time, and having people see (and ridicule me) for it, bring it up MONTHS after it happened…
…Well this teasing bothered me so much that I like to daydream I have the power to force something embarassing to happen to other people. At first I used to daydream about it happening to the specific people who teased me, but now it just spirals into daydreaming myself willing random people having bad stuff happen to them. Like this morning, I was watching some clique in the cafeteria talking, and one girl got up to go throw away the remainder of her meal. I imagined I had the power to make her loose bowel function, but not immediately mind you, first just a little bit, so she’d thing “Oh, I have to go to the bathroom!” and the .0001 second later everything in her lower GI tract would be shooting down her miniskirt.
I used to be given ‘dead legs’ on a regular basis. (a dead leg is when someon knees you in the side of the leg causing it to collapse) This lead to some furious daydreaming about beating the crap out of the bigger heavier stupider guys who do this, making damn sure the girl I fancied at the time saw me do this. I would be all Dirty Harry on him, not only physically dominating, but threatening him verbally with such power in my voice that he shit his pants.
BTW - one time I did act, I kicked culprit in the bollocks. Trouble is no-one was around to see, and he wasn’t the usuall culprit, he was the weaker sidekick of the usuall culprit.
I’m a firm believer in karma - what goes around comes around! I usually don’t seek revenge… although, revenge IS a dish best eaten cold.
Anyway, I’ve seen it happen time and time again throughout my life. Those that have caused me grief in some way, do seem to get a serve back at them further down the track. (my ex, in particular ). But I must admit, I did once daydream of literally gouging his face with a sharp knife until he resembled a plate of raw minced meat.
Well, some people think that, but see things differently. Of all the disgusting, gross, poisonous, and foul-smelling substances we regularly extcrete, feces is the lowest common denominator when it comes to gross-out/bodily function horror incidents. Are you saying you wouldn’t be mortified if your bowels suddenly emptied for no apparent reason in a very public setting?
Some people see having ‘no shame’ a bad thing. But in a way, I see it as perpetuating fears and paranoia many people have. A lot of people are absolutely petrified at the concept of them excreting something at an inopportune time- but who out there is willing to take a few deep breaths, and handle the situation calmly?
Lobsang, I too have gotten ‘dead legged’. I’ve also gotten ‘flat tired’ (a less painful but equally annoying action where someone deliberately steps on your heel as you are walking). People used to do all of this to me as I’d walk past them on the bus.
