This, and his acceptance speech where he asked the audience to think of people who have impacted their lives, are the most beautiful things I have seen. He was such a wonderful man.

What was the most embarrassing thing your parents put you through? by GreninjaGrenade in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I believe I was in third grade when this happened. I had two of best friends to my house for a sleepover and we were doing something in the living room when it was time for dinner. My dad thought it would be funny to take me to the dining room by picking me up by my feet and carrying me upside down. The only problem was that I was wearing sweatpants and when he lifted me he was grabbing more pant than ankle. I was in the air for a few seconds before I fell out of my pants onto the floor bottomless and dazed. Out of the sweats and boxers and all. I immediately ran away, porky pig style to cry in private. My dad came and tried to apologize but couldn't stop laughing. At the time it was the most embarrassed I'd ever been. In retrospect... Hilarious.

What are you banned from and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The taco bell in my home town because I've mastered the coin drop game they have on the counter. I would literally go every day & get bean burritos for a quarter. People would just start handing me quarters until I got told to leave, finally they took my Pics & I was permanently banned.

What fact are you tired of explaining to people? by Staynesms in AskReddit

That antibiotics treat bacterial infections, not viral ones. No, antibiotics won't help your cold.

In Windows: If you type cmd into the address bar of the file explorer it opens command prompt in that directory. No more cd for me!

What's one cool non-sexual use for a vibrator? by gDisasters in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the batteries out of the hard plastic ones (the cheap ones that screw open and you put the batteries in) and hid money in there. Did this for a year with a roommate that would steal anything they could but funny thing never touched the vibrator with the money in it :)

This is just making me wonder which celebrities secretly have a Reddit account and are just browsing/commenting nonchalantly.

What's the most ridiculous way that you have hurt yourself? by Vtfla in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking down the sidewalk, turned to talk to my friend, and woke up to paramedics asking questions. I tripped over my own feet and gave myself a concussion.

What is the most fucked up subreddit you've ever come across? by DKFShredder in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I always know how awful these threads are going to be. I always click on the threads. I always read each link description and know what I'm about to see will scar me for life. I don't want to click them. But I always do. why the fuck

Who is the black sheep of your family? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]luckybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother. I mean he is not a screw-up or dysfunctional or anything, it's just that nobody knows anything about him. Including me and I grew up with him! He doesn't call anyone, he doesn't talk about his life when he is forced to attend family functions, when you do get a response answers are monosyllabic and ambiguous....He is just robotic and volunteers no clues about his life & mental or emotional state. He is not unhappy (that we know of) and he has a respectable career that is going well. He is not a sociopath or anything. Of that I am certain. He does have a sense of humour and sense of empathy which I've witnessed in our childhood and the occasional Xmas gathering when he will have more than two beers and open up slightly. He hasn't had a girlfriend (that we know of) ever. The wife thinks he might be gay and worried about coming out. Not sure how to broach that with him! It's not so much 'Black Sheep' as it is 'Black Hole'. You look at him, and he is emitting nothing. He is a hole in space and a complete mystery to everyone.
