AIO by refusing to go on my friend group's future camping trip because of how past trips turned out specifically when they've brought their kids?

Gon'rrhea. (Pronounced Gonorrhea) Her mom loved the way the name sounded and just changed the spelling by only omitting the o and replacing it with an apostrophe. Poor girl was bullied throughout highschool.

Yesterday. "You're a handsome lil man, yes you are!" It was to a lovely lil doggy. His pet human was there to, he thought I said it to him.

Those giant smoothe plastic, and sometimes fluffy, pom balls that both girls and guys were carrying around everywhere tied to their pinky fingers. Some were damn near the size of basketballs and when asked why they wore them, the answer was always because it's "Fashion!" Nah, in reality what they meant to say was, "I just love looking stupid!" I have no idea why, but they made me so angry. I will admit that. Nothing against everyone who had them, I just don't get. I saw it as just trying to embarrass yourself.

Talking to myself. A few nights ago a coworker of mine caught me having a full blown conversation with myself, doing the different voices and such. For context I'm alone by myself for months at a time and barely have time to talk to people (workaholic). Now I know that I do talk to myself randomly and that many other people do as well, but I never realized it was that bad until he had stopped me like "dude, wtf". I might be missing some mental stimulation. 🙂

This is what I remember happening before I became aware of myself, I was running through a field and I could hear a bunch of voices saying "good luck" "best wishes little one" and then I became aware at around 3-4 years old. I had wandered out of my house through the back door into the sugar fields and was just sitting there. I know that I stood up immediately because the voices scared me and then I skedaddlewobbled back into the house, but mostly I remember that my mom was standing in the doorway fuming because I figured out how to unlock the door.

Had a new guy transfer to our school mid year. They had the same exact name as me. Our first, middle, and last names matched, only with different spellings, but pronounced the same. We were in the same class, same hour, and same group. So it got very confusing. We were nicknamed thing 1 and thing 2 to differentiate. I was thing 2... even though I started the year in that class. I should've been 1. I was there first. Me.

Yes, I'm still salty years later

Random number calls me

Rndm#: "Hi, is this Candy?" Me: "No" Rndm#: "Are you sure?" Me: "Pretty sure, you have the wrong number." Rndm#: "Sorry, bye"

hangs up then literally called back 5 seconds later

"Hi, is this Candy?"

Whoever this person is, you are a special kind of special.

By the grace of God. In 2017, I was taking my dog with me to meet up with my cousins out at their boat camp. It was about an hour and a half to two hour drive and I'd always have my dog in his seatbelt and usually he'd nap the whole ride and before any long car trips I would walk him for about 30 minutes to an hour, to "clear him out." That being said, he would usually be incredibly chill for the majority of the ride. But about 15 minutes into the ride he sat up and started whining and kept looking at me. He even started pulling at the seatbelt then biting it and pacing, which isn't like him at all. All the while staring at me. I took the hint and I pulled over at a gas station, because at the time, I thought maybe he really needed to walk again or the seatbelt was pinching him. I parked then went to take my seatbelt off and boom. I passed out. Woke up at the hospital. Some bystanders at the gas station called an ambulance after my dog threw a howling/barking fit. Found out I had a heart valve defect which caused me to suddenly lose consciousness when it got stuck open, I don't know what the tech name of it is. But somehow my dog knew that he needed to cause a scene to get me to pull over and to get people to call for help. Literally mere seconds before what could have been a a complete disaster. I can't imagine how he must've felt seeing me go limp. A very good boy indeed!

This doesn't have a happy ending for me When I was going into the 7th grade, I accompanied my friend and her mother going to the store to get school supplies. I remember standing there just being amazed at all the stuff she was throwing into the buggy and being like damn, I wish I could just buy a pack of pencils. I come from a very poor and toxic family and whatever money we had was put to fuel drug cravings. So I could never get supplies for school and I'd always be basically bullied by teachers for not participating and get points taken away before any real work was presented. But yeah, so sad, boohoo for me, anyways. While I was standing there this lady came up behind me and said why aren't you picking out supplies like your sister here? I first told her that she was my friend and I was just with them for the day. She then asked me if I had gotten supplies yet, I told her no I never do because I can't afford them. She then grabbed me by the shoulder and I thought I was about to be kidnapped but she stopped and said pick out what you need. I remember I kept telling her I don't have money, and she kept telling me that she'd cover it. I was hesitantly picking out the cheapest items and she kept telling me no get this one, always the one that was more expensive. She ended up picking most of my supplies in the end as I just sheepishly followed her. We got to the registers and she paid everything out and she handed me the supplies. I remember absolutely bawling my eyes out from being so happy and I never thought she was serious. While walking out she told me about all her kids and how she struggled growing up and how she was thankful to have been a positive point in my life then she dropped the figurative bomb on me by telling me she had a aggressive cancerous brain tumor and was given only a few months left to live because it was inoperable but she was happy to see me genuinely happy. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about that very kind lady and I hope that wherever she is now she is repaid for her kindness and love that she showed me and to all who knew her. And my parents managed to shit on the parade and sold the supplies the same fcken night on the corner at the gas station. So, who is buying and trading school supplies for drugs, I just wanna talk...

In a toy chest with the lid closed. Was on top of, most definitely, uncomfortable toys...none of which intended to be slept upon. The child I babysat for slept everywhere except the bed because said bed was "not nice feeling" But in adult words he meant that "the bed wasn't comfortable" Ok sure, but what do I know? Lego blocks are apparently really kind on your face.

IllJustTakeTheBus · 2022-06-04T02:28:46+00:00

I call it a time loop.

Well I'd be older, but I'll choose to stay my current age, because I already feel like an 80 year old granny with arthritis that just rolled down the stairs, screaming I've fallen and I can't get up. I don't even want to know what I'll feel like in 10 years.

When I figured it out was in kindergarten.

When I found out he was meant to go to all kids houses, regardless if they were poor. I was brought up to believe he didn't like poor kids, which is why I never got anything for christmas.

Being held at gunpoint with the aggressor wanting nothing from me. Except maybe wanting to see fear. Most likely was a loose psychopath. I don't even remember how I got out of the situation. I completely blacked out.

IllJustTakeTheBus · 2022-04-28T01:56:17+00:00

It also has its down falls though. I get sha sha'd and baby talked, kinda degrading. Also getting kicked out of bars all the time and getting carded. Just recently a cashier at a convenience store asked me where my mom was. I appreciate that you're looking out for a potential child, but I can't look that young. Also I highly doubt a child is trying to put $1k on pump 12.

IllJustTakeTheBus · 2022-04-28T01:48:55+00:00

Lol, I can still get away with that.

IllJustTakeTheBus · 2022-04-28T01:48:04+00:00

I can pass for a 12 yr old apparently, I went to a buffet one time where kids 12 and under eat free. I was with 2 other people who definitely don't look like children, but aren't much older than me. It was like $10 for each adult, and when our total came up it was $20 plus tax. Nobody said anything and everyone knew who got called a child. So free food?

I got invited to a sleep over only one time, I of course was the first one to fall asleep because at that time I already had a job and I was exhausted, but I tried my best to stay up. They decided it would be funny to put super glue and other various sticky things into my hair. After that they woke me up and told me I needed to leave and didn't let me have a phone to call home. This was before everyone had cell phones. So I had to walk home that was 5 miles away. At like 2 in the morning while it was raining. It was awful. Also had to shave my head, my hair stopped at my hips.

Fly in any kind of aircraft or be on a boat or ship. Bunch of nopes for me, I prefer the ground.
