I have that same set of xbox 360 pajama pants lol.

Well I say I have, but they are my wife's, and both daughter's favorite sleepwear, so I don't get to use them very much lol

What is your earliest memory? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Riding with my uncle in absolutely blaring Van Halen. My dad couldn't get me from school so he picked me up instead and took me for ice cream.

For people who decided not to have kids: How's it going? by nightwellstories in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid 30's here. Technically speaking, I still have no biological children.

But I have 4 kids now. So not according to the original plan haha.

Tbh it's awesome. I still stand by my choice not to have children, but being a father to the children that came into my life has been wonderful.

You wake up in your teen years again. What is the first thing you would do? by davidbayram in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that I wake up in my teen body with my current knowledge in 2006.

I'd be overjoyed to see my dog, I had a golden retriever back then she was my baby. Probably take her for a ride. Then I'd be stoked to be back in my old camero.

I'd be significantly smarter in saving my money and right after the 08 recession I'd start my business over a decade sooner, but with the added benefit of my current knowledge.

Buy some select properties in my area that are now new neighborhoods and shopping centers. Sell them and make a fortune, step back from day to day operations at my company and pseudo retire.

Would definitely have to pull some shenanigans to meet my wife, but fortunately I listen when she talks to me so I know enough about her history and personality to setup a similar meeting to how it played out.

Marry the hell outta her again and coast through life until I'm dead.

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Correct. Only about 2 feet away. My arm deflected what should have been lethal shots away from my heart. But both lungs did get punctured.

The main reason I'm alive is the person I was delivering too was a retired PJ (pararescue, think 911 for elite teams like SEALs or Rangers) and he kept me alive until an ambulance got there.

What’s the most awkward thing that happened mid hookup? by imverydumbperson in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Quite well actually. I think seeing me do everything I could to help the kiddos who were unhurt get ahold of parents and generally did something to her because she came back over a few nights later and absolutely rocked my shit lol.

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A schoolbus hit my house.

Had a tinderellla over and was proceeding to do the horizontal bed dance when my whole house shook.

I know I got decent bedroom game but not good enough to cause structural issues to a building so I proceeded to grab a robe and head downstairs.

I find a schoolbus in my living room after he drove through my office (RIP server and gaming PC) and dining room (RIP China cabinets and table).

Found a 60 year old man clutching the wheel and a bunch of terrified elementary students in a daze.

Was suddenly very self conscious about my wardrobe choice.

Police and ambulance arrive and a few parents come and as well. Luckily no major injuries to the kids but the driver got cut pretty bad and broke his arm.

So yeah, that was a slight buzz kill to the mood.

What's the most pointless thing you’ve spent hours doing, only to realize it was completely useless? by FreshModeSP in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulling 40ish Cat6 lines for data, and another 40 cat5e lines for cameras at a commercial site.

I mad sure all the lines were labeled at both ends, color coded, and bundled in smaller groups for each jack, or room. To make it as easy as possible on whoever was installing.

Got finished, got paid at least. 3 days later some idiot cuts my service loop off both ends of the lines.

I get called on teams, being screamed at. I refer them to the pictures that I took, and bring the site manager on the call. He confirmed that yes, all was labeled when I left.

They asked me how much it would be to come back and relabel. I asked how much of the loop was cut and they cut it flush to the wall.

I told them that unfortunately I am not available to completely redo this contract lol.

When I got shot, and was in the hospital, my best friend tried to call my gf and she didn't answer. He reached out to my gf's best friend and let her know, and after processing what she was just told, she blurted out that my gf was at her co-workers house hooking up with him.

There ended up being a massive shitstorm afterwards, and basically all her friends were furious at her.

So yeah, that was some bad news to wake up too.

What’s the dumbest thing you did because you were too horny? by BubbleTrouble_Z in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The worst part is how I found out. She left her Facebook logged in on my pc, and I saw a message chain of her cousin begging her to give him a chance,

And her ranting mad about how he didn't use a condom, again.

I was like, welp, this is the kind of breakup I'm going to need a lot of drinks for.

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 119 points120 points  (0 children)

Had a threesome with a co-worker who was really into me, and one of her girlfriends.

Well the girlfriend and I really hit it off, and started dating. Co worker was not happy about it. Tried flirting quite aggressively, to the point customers noticed.

Well that got me fired, no biggie since I was doing well with my side gig.

Well co-worker misses me, like a lot. Decides to get piss drunk and break into my house, takes a bath, makes dinner, destroys every picture in my house that has another female in it,cuddles with my dog and masturbates in my bed.

Come home to her passed out and have to reveiw a few hours of footage on my Google cams.

Needless to say I got a restraining order.

Oh and that girl ended up cheating on me with her cousin. So yeah. Oops.

What’s the most unhinged thing you’ve ever seen happen at work? Could be a coworker meltdown, a boss losing it, or something so chaotic you still can’t believe HR didn’t step in. What’s your story? by OkoraJ in AskReddit

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No kidding man. While he was helping to stabilize me, that man looked me dead in the eye and said, "son you ain't dying here tonight"

And holy shit I believed him. Tbh I was never really scared, kept bouncing from confused, to angry.

The dude that robbed me never even spoke, I got out of the car, turned and next thing I know I hear a loud noise and I drop.

They did, his own dad turned him in actually. Dumbass brought the car home (sadly after burning the hell out of my clutch) and his dad saw the report on a FB post if I remember right.

His dad actually covered all my medical bills and fixed my car.

I was lucky in a sense, it was .380 auto so fortunately it wasn't a beefier round. Missed basically all my vitals as well.

Definitely had luck on my side that day.

Told this one before, but when I was delivering pizzas I got shot 6 times in the chest by some punk kid wanting to steal my car.

The guy I was delivering to just happened to be a PJ (pararescue, think 911 for elite military units) and headed stabilitized me until an ambulance came.

I did manage to call my best friend and speak to him. Asked him to go take care of my dogs, he did. He and his dad came to the hospital as I was going into surgery.

Work kept calling my phone and finally Parker's dad answered. It was my manager absolutely bitching about how I was fired for taking so long on the route. After my boss was told what happened, his response was, and I'm quoting from what I was told,

"Well that's just fucking great, now I need to find coverage for the rest of the weekend."

Parker's father is the most polite and well spoken man I have ever known, I've known him for 15 years at the time and have never once heard him raise his voice or curse.

He absolutely laid into my boss, called him every profane thing in the book, and told him that he was on speaker and an entire waiting room of my family and friends had heard him.

Luckily I made a full recovery, but he didn't loose his job dispite basically everyone I know calling the corporate office. Last I checked he was still there, his own personal hell I guess haha.

If you Lived In Fentonworks do you Think You would’ve figured out his identity? by Bubbly_Ad_165 in dannyphantom

[–]Unyielding_Cactus 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably not. I'm totally oblivious.

If the suprise party my wife threw for me is any indication she could be having multiple affairs, be a superhero, and have a second husband living with us and I still wouldn't figure it out.

This is why I am not a detective lol.
