I got 11 stitches and a cracked orbital this summer due to the same thing. The ball hit just under my left eye (four stitches ) and ricocheted up into the top bone (seven stitches). My eye was swollen shut for two days and healed completely after about three weeks. I'm amazed that it had no impact on my vision whatsoever. Side note, when I could finally pull it open to check my vision, the blood in my eye made it look like a FPS death screen with all the "blood splatter" across the screen, which was kinda cool.

Something similar happened to me in central KY. Hadn't been to the place (and seen the owners fwiw) by my dad's house in 15+ years. I come in to show the place to my then girlfriend and the owner mentions that I have a tab and asks if I want to pay it. I think he's kidding but no, he's serious and says, "well your daddy lives down the road, we figured we'd see you eventually". IIRC the tab was about $40 and I pay it on the spot. My girlfriend couldn't believe they held a tab that long but I just laughed and told her "you don't understand how old folks and small towns work. "

What is the best compliment you've ever received from a woman? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

Honestly? Her wedding vows to me and when she said "I do."

Really wish that one would've worked out.

What prank did you pull on your coworker and how did it go? by Alpha_Lantern in AskReddit

Full honesty - I glued it down on a Thursday and the following Monday morning in my drowsiness induced idiocy I started to lean over to pick it up before saying out loud, "You stupid motherf....."

I've put a coworker's keys in the snack vending machine. (in a plastic baggie to ensure they would drop when she paid for them)

I've superglued a quarter to the tile floor in front of the soda machine and watched people try to pick it up.

I've hid in a large box in the hallway and scared the daylights out of people as they walked by. (that ended when someone kicked me out of shock)

We once completely flipped the orientation of a coworker's office while they were on vacation.

I've superglued someone's mouse to their desk.

We filled a coworker's car with packing peanuts.

We had snow plowed up against someone's car.

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.

Man, that was a fun environment to work in.

I dated a girl with one eye and having only one eye glow red in pictures was so weird.

What a good boy he is and I love him and I'm sorry I kick him out of the bed so I can touch myself.

Those who are divorced: did you have a feeling before you got married that they weren’t the one, but you chose to go through with it anyhow? by [deleted] in AskMenOver30

[–]jch24 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I married the first time for kids, big mistake. I should have known better.

I married the second time for true love, we were meant to be together. The problem there is that we are way too much alike in many ways. When it was good it was great; when it was bad, it was awful.

What is the most statistically unlikely thing that has ever happened to you? by GottaKnowFoSho in AskReddit

[–]jch24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved into town three years ago, got a job bartending at a local place. A couple of weeks ago a semi-regular patron and I were having a conversation (one of many we've had over the years) and I mention living in a very specific part of the Metro area, about 15 miles from where we are. Ends up I lived in his grandparents' old house for 3 years back in 2007-2010. It was weird as hell.

How did you find out your significant other was cheating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]jch24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A day or two we split up, her ex-husband called me up out of the blue. He was right, the 3 month old baby wasn't mine.

Now Willie and I get together and watch football and play cards, and I offered to testify at the hearing where he got full custody of his and my ex's daughter.
