the couch that my parents had when i was very young (younger than 6) was poorly upholstered and had some staples or something that were not flush. i was sitting on the couch and swinging my legs and hitting one of them with my achilles and it hurt like a mf

My dad's red pickup truck burned up in the driveway.

I actually cried about it and had nightmares. It was fine, really, no one was hurt and the truck was old. It caught on fire because my dad was burning ditches and his gas tank had a tiny leak. He made it home fine, didn't get burned at all, but the truck burned quite a lot, it was quite charred and my young self was pretty freaked out.

getting so excited after hatching the Century Dragon in DragonVale that I forgot it was 4am and I woke up my Dad who was absolutely ticked and made me uninstall the game (probably for the best tbh)

Watching an apartment complex engulfed in flames from the balcony of our own apartment across the street/a block away (can't remember exactly how far away it was)

Bouncing a recently sharpened pencil up and down on my desk and suddenly getting stabbed by that pencil and the tip broke off in my hand under my skin (I never got it out)

My first time hacking an online game was GunZ online, where me and a friend used a packet editor to capture the death/revive packets, and alternate sending them super fast so the other player gets max exp, then switching off so I can do it to my account.

stapled my thumb through the thumbnail on the last day of school because I thought it was unset and I pushed up on the staple hole (attempt at Good Samaritan behavior) (it was a curved-back stapler)

[–] Broodyr@hexbear.net 7 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

daaaamn that reminds me, one of my earliest memories as a kid was somehow stapling the roof of my mouth. and I remember it being multiple staples, somehow. my dad heard me screaming and took them out lmao

Oh god, this happened to me too!

I had to pull it out myself because I was alone at the time and it was probably the beginning of my fear of pointy things

My absolute earliest memory is me looking up at some dinosaurs in a dark room with flashes of light and loud noises and being terrified, only to get to the end and find out it was an amusement park ride. I never found out which ride or amusement park it was.

The day I finally beat racing my friend to the best swing on the playground. He was typically always faster than me, including after that day.

I totally would have got to pet that cool looking crab if my cousin didn't push me off that rock we were climbing.
