Stuff that has happened to you that you are pretty sure that no one else has experienced.

Other than being 3/8" shorter than my other pinky, and only having one knuckle joint, it’s fine. :slight_smile:

I once got a speeding ticket in a Chevy Chevette.

I also as a teenage, turned across lanes in front of an oncoming police car, causing an accident, and then successfully talked my way out of a ticket.

Myself and my Chinese friend were buzzed by a military helicopter, while exploring a deserted beach on the east coast of Malaysia, many years ago now. They came down very low, through open the side door, all leaning out waving and catcalling.

Wish I’d had a camera at the ready, it was loud, and startling!

In India our hotel room was vandalized by monkeys, who broke in and made mayhem such that we thought we’d been robbed! But all they were after was the pit and skin of a mango we’d consumed earlier! Still, robbed by monkeys, that’s a good travel story right there!

I once spent the night in a whorehouse in Bangkok and didn’t get laid.

True story

I once logged into Disney.com, Nickelodeon.com, AND Pokemon.com in ONE sitting

…and DIDN’T ask my parent’s permission

At one time, the living members of my family included:

a shark-hunter
a well-respected psychologist/hypnotist with a faked degree from a German university
a cult member preparing to live in a bunker
a candidate for governor who lived in a tent on the beach in St. Thomas
a 72 year old divorcee with a 24 year old girlfriend; his previous five marriages all to 20-somethings, including an ex-nun
a tattoo artist who ran illegal pit bull fights
a former Queen of the Galveston Mardi Gras
an IRS chief who was in charge of Howard Hughes’ Texas estate tax returns
an ophidiophobic who chopped a coral snake into about 30 pieces with a hoe
a woman who gave birth to 9 lb. twins
a married stockbroker who quit to run a music festival which lost a lot of money, then fled the country with one of the singers

I’ve included cousins. At the time, the total pool was 17 family members. Any time someone would mention their “unusual family”, I’d bet mine against theirs and win.

And no, I’m not on the list. I’m one of the normal ones, relatively speaking of course. :smiley:

And that’s just one person.

:smiley:

To be fair, two people are listed twice for different aspects of their unusual lives.

My brother and I went to see “Tommy” when it first came out and basically got a private showing. We were the only people there.

I have had kidney stones and a kidney infection at the same time. The stone lodged in my ureter and would not pass, blocking the ureter so the infection couldn’t drain out and turned my kidney into what the doctor called a “stagnant pond.”

Good times.

Slight bump.

I bought a '93 Pontiac Sundance with low miles last week.

Today as I was driving my keyring hit the floor. Seems the key broke with the working part still in the ignition. It is the only key So I can’t lock the door

So my car is unlocked and can be started with no key.

When I was a young teen, my motor scooter was hit by a train.

I engaged in a drinking contest with a couple of Japanese businessmen in a bar in Japan. Tequila shots. I won.

I was named my name. Never have found anyone with the same one.
