NFL Season 2020 Football • Page 1540

oh i'm still trying to think of mine because there's just too many. i may start a bracket thread for it

 

I was once sitting on my balcony in a cruddy Walmart chair. I was sitting with my ass on the edge and when I went to stand up, it caused the seat to come off the frame and I braced myself with my arms on the frame and the screw was still sticking out so it drove itself a couple inches into the underside of my forearm. It actually didn’t bleed much but was a pain in the ass to pull it off because the screw threads wouldn’t let my skin go.

 

Lmao I know! But like, when you’ve only got one left ya gotta be extra careful haha #TMI

 

I don't have that many irrational fears but in like 2010 my friend did shut my hand in a taxi door. Closed over four of my fingers. Everyone was surprised at how calm I reacted though, I just told him in a measured but firm voice to open the door. He was like, "What?", and I said "You closed my hand in the door, open the door" and he and my other friends and the cab driver freaked out and he opened the door and my hand was fine. It hurt but it wasn't horrible

 

I don't know if I have irrational fears but I have irrational regret or embarrassment for things in the past that are immaterial and no one else would remember but they are catalogued in my mind

 

I do this every single day

 

What the shit

 

same. 100% same haha. I am not a very fearful person so it’s very perplexing that I do get that fight or flight response when there are bees around. Even though I know if I stay calm and leave it alone most bees are docile.

I can at least fuckin stab or shoot a bear and have a fighting chance. You can’t fight a swarm of bees at all. And escaping is getting more difficult as killer bees and giant hornets from overseas breed with our bees and make them more aggressive.

I’ve heard stories that even going underwater doesn’t work anymore, cause they will wait for hours above the surface and sting you every time you come up for air. That shit is scary af to me haha.

 

i feel like this is a very common social anxiety tic

 

go underwater and swim 10 feet away, don’t pop back up right where you went under. At least, this is what I’m doing if that ever happens (hopefully I remember in the moment of pure absolute panic).

bees/wasps are my most irrational fear as well and I’ve never been stung. I remember learning as a kid that if you kill one they let out a scent that attracts other ones to come help or something. No idea if true or not but in elementary school, once friends and I learned this, we killed a bee and swear we were suddenly surrounded by a good two dozen and flipped out and ran for blocks and blocks to get away so in my mind it’s like “fuck, if I kill one they all will know and swarm me and be all pissed”

 

This is right up there with the Philly cop whose job as "Recruit Background Investigations Unit" was to screen people's social media turning out to be a QAnon nut

 

OW MOTHERFUCK

 

Y’all are fucking killing me lol. I can’t even stand it when I cut my toenails too short

 

I broke a toe skateboarding a year or so ago and the toenail split and looks weird now. Not gross weird, just a little off. I should probably get a pedicure

 

They are definitely no fun. Camp I used to work at had an old shower house where some truly gargantuan bees nests had formed, and it was getting dangerous. I got sent in with a can of that foaming bee killer, and it was after about 10 seconds that I realized I had not been given a full can, and it had run out, and I was about to break Usain Bolt's 100m dash record running away from that nightmare

 

Holy shiiiiit nope I am not Mr Tough Guy that’s gonna go get rid of the nest of bees. Y’all gon have to find somebody else cause this homie don’t play that shit LOL

I’ll scrub the kitchen floor or the toilets you can send the janitor to take care of the bees hahaha

 

jesus. It’s like flipping channels and it’s all horror movies

“feeling too warm” is you keeping your room so damn hot though . And I have literally never heard of you struggling to fall asleep hahah

 

it is true. Bees release pheromones when they die. Yet another reason not to fuck with them lol.

in just not a fan of something you can’t even threaten with death, because it’s a kamikaze, and will happily kill itself to hurt you for the hive

 

I had an ingrown toenail on my big toe when I was younger (partly because I played soccer) and boy let me tell you that was no fun

I couldn't even put a sheet over my foot without it hurting

 

Those hurt so bad

 

I wore a pair of shoes that were too small for like 5 days straight at work. My right big toe began to look bruised and eventually the nail got loose and wobbly. I had to google what the hell to do and my best option was to rip that baby off. Took like 8 months for a new toenail to fully grow back.

 

Checking all the NFL sources on twitter just in case a team and coach decided to fuck around and sign a contract at 1:30am on this fine Thursday. Rest easy, they haven't.

 

I keep rereading my own post as “Brees release pheromones” because NFL thread. Please help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.

 

yea the fact they can be so hellbent on getting u is always unsettling to me. a few months ago when i was out on a job 1 of my my crew stepped on a yellowjacket nest. luckily they didnt attack me at least and the other guys only got a couple stings each but even after driving the truck away for several miles some of them were still following us almost an hour later. i left a piece of equipment right on top of that nest, told my boss that shits staying there forever lmao

 

I've had ingrown toenails in both my big toes, and it was a fucking nightmare

I also dropped a box on my toe last year and lost my entire big toenail. It took the whole year to grow back. The chills I got when I noticed it was off. Woof.
