Okay....This is a story that screwed me up really bad.

This is what my parents told me I cried after this, So brace yourself.

I was about 4 or 5 during the this time. My parent's still lived in Asia and owned a farm. One day, my parents met a women who thought I was cute and wanted to trade me for an Ox. They almost went through with it, that is what screwed me up. So now I have a Emotional scar cause of an Ox.....
I tried to sell my little brother for the princely sum of $500 when I was six.

See, this is why don't post my Problems online....*Goes to therapist*

See that comment clinches it. Although, I do think that an ox would be a fair trade for someone such as yourself. If your grammar was better... eh, I'd say an ox, and a chicken. Maybe, just maybe an ox, a chicken, and a bag of oranges.  :tongue:
 
Ohh bag of oranges! I still remember when I was about 9 I told a guy I would trade my little sister for a box of chocolates? I think she took my game boy away?
 
o_o;;;

Damn well, if it's true, zen, ... Good luck? ^^;;.

This isn't really a topic for sad failures--believe me, I have quite a number myself, but this is just for amusing failures, like ... Embarrassing, or physically painful but funny in a way that you can look back on it and laugh, not cry o_o

Nice story about the coffee, Atemu, lol.

I have one about a close friend of mine from highschool (again--I said, a lot of sh't went down then).

Remember when all of the U.S. was tripping balls about Columbine? Well this takes place shortly after that. I was in P.E. with my close friend David. The class was doing 4 laps around the football field in the baking heat.

David and I B.S.'ed about dark things all the time, and he happened to say something like, "god this class sucks so much, I wish this school would burn down." Totally in jest, and only to me.

A girl nearby heard, told the teacher. Teacher told the administration. Admins told the police. Police told the Feds. Apparently the girl said that David wanted to bomb the school.

The next several days he was mysteriously out of school, and a few classmates and I had been called into questioning about David, they asked weird questions like, "does David ever draw disturbing pictures?" or, "has David ever cried in class?". (I assume they were the Feds. They never actually said who they were exactly. The Dept. of Homeland Security wasn't around yet, I think.)

Eventually he came back to school and everyone thought he was the next unibomber, but he certainly never said anything like that in school again. Freaking enormous FAIL--not on my friend's part--on the taxpayers, for funding such an idiot administration and justice system. :P

That one was a little weaker, but I've said so many I'm running out of FAILs that aren't too adult for this forum o_o

Wait, what? How could a fail be too 'adult'? What, did you trip, and fall on some guy's- HOLD IT! I'm going to stop there. Sorry?  :huh:
 
I don't know if this lends credence to zenrdy's story, but last time I was down in Mexico on a missions trip, some guy on the street offered to buy my friend (attractive blond). He was offering some interesting sums of money, and another friend of mine was like, "Cinco Minutos?" and the guy was looking at me like I betrayed him or offended his family or something. I shrugged, and he walked away muttering something under his breath.

Now, this is on-topic, cuz I had a helping of FAIL.

Apparently he asked me if she was my wife or some such, but I, sucking at spanish, thought he meant girlfriend. (He said novia, but then asked me some gibberish like, "did you just get married?" so I guess he was asking if she was the bride) Anyway, as a result of my confusion, I said, (jokingly) Yes! I think I even threw in a "Por Supuesto!" for good measure. He then preceeded to ask me if I wanted to trade for her, and I again screwed up, thinking he was asking if we were headed to the store (that we were standing right in front of). So, in short, I told this man I was willing to trade my wife for something. He took me seriously. I had no idea what was going on.

(I was told later exactly what was said by another guy who was with us, who was one of our translators. He thought the whole thing was hilarious.)

I'm just glad I didn't accept any of his offers. That could have gotten awkward.

Also, nice stories @ Ygg & Ice. Especially Ice--damn, that had to hurt. Quite an emergency to be impaled through the thigh. Really anything involving gore & the thigh is the highest-level of alert to 9-1-1 dispatchers (my husband is one). A lot of people don't live through trauma involving that region, or they become grossly crippled somehow; you're lucky you were young.

Well yeah I have an odd star shaped scar (on both sides of my thigh) but apparently it was because I have such an intense workout routine that I'm ok (Go to gym 3 times a week, workout every day, train in martial arts and play rugby) otherwise I'd have probably had something go wrong but as it stands I'm in better shape than anyone I know.

So that story about me and my math teacher in the last year of high school isn't allowed then? It's a really good story....

I stabbed myself in the eye with a compass once. I was drawing on my pencil case with it and someone pushed me.

Except it must have cut a nerve because it didn't hurt at all it was just BLEEDING LIKE FUCK so wasn't at all concerned (I was about 6 at the time and didn't realize that bleeding = not good. Since it didn't hurt I didn't know anything was wrong.) So I just put my hand up and waited for the teacher to pay attention to me. I was the quiet one in a class of 38 so it took some time. Then when she finally noticed me she didn't actually HELP she ran out because she was scared of blood. Then the head came in and had me taken to hospital.

It turned out to be not that bad, fortunately, and it doesn't seem to have affected my vision at all, but I had to have this odd cottenwool stuff dipped in orange stuff on my eye for a few minutes every five hours or so for a while (which stung like hell and thus actually hurt more than the stabbing part)
 
I've had a recent one I think 4 days ago

Me and my friend we were at camp and was doing an obstacle course and well there was a ladder. We normally would have like belt straps in case we fall of it, but my friend asked me to have a race with him up the ladder, but he also told me let's do it without the belt straps on. And being the idiot I was I said "yeah!! let's do it" so we slowly took of the belts without the teacher looking. We then dashed up the ladder and when I was near the top I missed a step and fell forward and hit my head on the edge of the wall (The top of the wall basically) I then fell backwards and then I woke up 3 hours later in a hospital room...........I have a scar on my head now and for some reason on my shoulder aswell I think I might have scraped it on a sharp object as I fell. I had one major headache when I woke up though.

All I can say now is FAIL!!!
 
Someone at school (a year 7) asked if I was Chinese (even though I look the least Chinese possible), and I sarcastically said "sure...". My school probably can't even spell the word sarcasm, so for the past term I've been hearing other 6th formers saying to each other "Do you know Daniel, right, well did you know he's Chinese?"
 
zenrdy, for the love of god, stop making spammy, retarded comments unless you have something else you want to share that isn't made up.

On topic, last night I nearly got stabbed in the arm with a steak knife.  I was hunting through the strainer downstairs for a pot lid so I could boil some water for my ramen.  The landlady has a nasty habit of putting all her utensils sharp end up, and... yeah.  Thankfully the knife was pretty dull, otherwise it probably would have gone straight through my arm with how hard I hit it.  My arm hurt like a bitch for the rest of the night though.  @_@
