I went to a party at a friend's house (I had never been to his house before, we were just friends from college) and a bunch of people are in his hot tub. It was dark out. I decided to get in, and assumed the deck his hot tub was sitting on continued on behind the hot tub. It did not, and there was a roughly 6 foot drop on the back side. I walk over to get in, step off the deck accidentally, do a complete front flip and land on my feet. They all yell "Are you ok?" and then I get back on the deck completely unscathed.

No one that wasn't there ever believes this story.

That's a crazy story. I whish you good fortune in the future too.

A girl sexually assaulted me in middle school.

[–] KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

It is absolutely insane that people believe any woman about any sexual assault, but a man being sexually assaulted? That’s not a real thing!

To be clear, I’m not saying “believe women” is incorrect. I’m saying that disregarding any male focused SA while believing all female focused is a very troubling double standard in my eyes.

"Alien sighting"

Was watching a plane go along the night sky, blinking away as they do. Then it stopped moving but kept blinking for about 5 seconds. Then shot straight down to the horizon leaving a little trail of light behind like a comet or something.

Some star wars hyperspace bollocks or something

Aircraft turned away from you while climbing away, making it appear stationary. Kick on some afterburners, and it'll take off like a bat out of hell in front of a 200' flame.

Back when I was in high school, a student a couple years before me bit off a bite of an apple and pretended that it was a grenade and threw it, but the apple hit an alarm bell, and then the fire alarm went off and the school had to be evacuated which resulting in them sending two firetrucks to clear the school. I don't know if it was a coordinated move where he would throw it and his friend manually set off the alarm, or if the apple hitting the alarm bell damaged the alarm somehow which triggered the fire alarm to go off.

I know, it doesn't sound believable to me either, but I'll never forget it because I saw it lol

Also I was sitting eating lunch with one of my friends in high school, and someone randomly walked by and threw a piece of bread at me. None of us even knew that person or ever saw them before, but we referred to that event as "drive by bread". There was also "drive by rat" but that's a story for another day lmao

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's already another day now. Tell us the "drive by rat" story.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Now that it's my birthday, I'll tell the "drive by rat" story. I was eating lunch with my friends (there's a pattern here) and we saw a giant rat run by while we were eating. A couple days later, we noticed a pest control vehicle while we were in class. There were always rumours that the school had rats, but that basically confirmed it for us.

There was also a student and his girlfriend who pushed another student through a glass window and I got to see them being taken away in handcuffs also during lunch.

I also made a time capsule with one of my friends during chemistry class because there was a broken desk where the wooden top of the desk would come off, so we wrote on some papers (I think we wrote something like "yeah yeah yeah GSL" etc because we were very into StarCraft at the time lol) and pushed them into the desk legs. I wonder if they are still there or if anyone found them lol

Apparently I have a lot of stories from when I was in high school. lol

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago

Thanks for keeping your promise! Wow, you saw a lot of stuff just by having lunch with your friends!

A few of my friends refuse to believe that a mutual friend who was my neighbour at uni was and is black and had family members visit from Jamaica. He was very white passing though.
