Hey Pandas, What's The Most Ridiculous Thing That's Ever Happened To You? (Closed)

In 11th grade we had an English test on the subject of Macbeth. We were allowed to use a dictionary, but I was late this day and had forgotten to bring my usual one. I did have my Dad's old one in my locker though, had brought it at the beginning of the school year (before I bought my nice one) and forgotten about it. Never used it before and brought it to the test "just in case".
Turns out my Dad hat used it to to cheat on HIS test on yes Macbeth back when he was in school and the notes were all still in it. The teacher found it while looking through (I hadn't even touched it at that point). Got an F and ruined my English grade that year.

Worked as a maintenance man for my county government. I worked at the headquarters of the sheriff's department. One day a deputy came to my office to ask a maintenance question. He saw a picture of a hispanic boy on the wall. Asked me who the s**ck was? Its my son. Filed a grievance with my union.

Within a month i was brought in and questioned abt child porn. They searched my home and questioned my son ( legally im not even a step parent. I have raised him with my wife all of his life. Bio dad is gone) so i couldnt give permission to question him. I forgot to tell them that nugget.

Was reassigned into a building that had little maintenance work. My union caved to the police union. I resigned after investigation turned up nothing.

My story is I was in math class and noticed I had dry blood all over my hands and on my whiteboard. Like under my nails, in between my fingers, I looked like a serial killer. And I look at my palm (after cleaning it) and there's this tiny pin-sized hole with a little blood coming out of it. And for maybe 15 minutes I was finding more things I bloodied up with my tiny pinprick. Thanks, veins.

My friend launched his entire weight into my body and knocked me onto asphalt. One hospital trip later and I have a fractured arm :/

When I discovered that I pay more taxes that rich people do. Like income taxes? Rich people don't work. No income. No taxes.

I live with my parents and they have dealt with some s**t. But sometimes, coincidences are insane. 2 weeks ago, our fire alarms went off- all of them, at 1:00 AM. it was so loud i felt like my ears were bleeding. Surprise surprise, the fire alarms went off at my grandmas at 4:00. Then, at my moms job, same day, 5:00, the alarms went off. What the hell is with this?

I had lived through two crazy coincidences:
First one was with I was at a social service internship in London. I am from Mexico. Working with me was another Mexican. a girl who turned out to be not only from my same hometown, but we had gone to the same school (although not the same year) and were neighbors from across the street, but have never met before.
Second, I was living in Mexico City during the Earthquake on September 19th, 2017. Me and my friends did some volunteer work, pulling rubble out of a collapsed building. Sadly, I watched rescue workers pull a body from the ruins and carried it away. A couple of days later, through a Facebook group from my old elementary school class. I found out the body was from my second grade teacher.

I did standup comedy with a partner when I was young. In part of our routine we talked about a rough part of town and mentioned that it was popular with a motorcyle club that may or may not have the initials H.A. Nothing disparaging, just a call out. One night after the show, 2 guys called us over to their table and bought us drinks. Said they loved the routine, but if we ever mentioned the club again they would unalive us. Then they bought another round and we kept talking. Nice guys, but we definitely never mentioned the club again.

Omg this happened all the way back in fourth grade and I still remember it!

So I was sitting in the hallway with my boyfriend, waiting to be picked up, and I was telling him all the ways that my younger brother was annoying. One of them was that he always said 'Why' after every answer to a question he got.

I should have just given him an example, but instead, I told my brother to ask him a question, and I knew that no matter what answer he gave, my brother would still say, "Why?"

He asked, "Why are you (my name)'s girlfriend?"

There are TWO things wrong with that!! First of all, he's my BOYFRIEND, and second of all, I'M A GIRL!!

And after all that, when I told him to go away he still had the nerve to ask why.

Had a bunch of Amazon boxes show up on my porch one day. Inside was a Canon EOS camera ($1500+), an NVIDIA graphics accelerator ($499) and an Apple iPad Pro ($800). Seems someone had hacked my credit card and went on a shopping spree. It's just my wife and I so no children to blame. Bank cancelled the transaction and removed the charges and Amazon said they would send me return boxes and shipping labels. I assume that whoever did this didn't notice that Amazon used my card billing address as the shipping address so I ended up with their items.................Several months later and 15 calls to Amazon with no action on their part, I said, "Screw it, someone's getting some nice Christmas gifts"...............still no word from Amazon after all this time.

Let me start by saying I was NOT an ideal student. I have wrestled with a lifelong procrastination issue, and in school it resulted in late/missing homework, poor test scores, and lots of embarrassment on my part. In biology class in 10th grade, we took a test, and everybody bombed. The morning after the test, Mrs. DePasquale stood at the front of the classroom and positively REAMED everyone, scolding us on our obviously poor study habits, attention lapses, and general disdain for everything biology. Then, once she finished she asked me and a fellow student to stand up and follow her out of the main classroom into a supply closet. I thought, "Oh boy, I REALLY screwed this one up." To my surprise, she calmly and sweetly informed the two of us that she "wasn't referring to us" in her speech about the test, because we had obviously gone above and beyond in our scholarly efforts to grasp the admittedly difficult concepts of biology (we both aced it). She even apologized for her oration to the whole class, and I'm pretty sure she would have hugged us if we were in a different setting. I had to scoop my jaw up off of the floor and thankfully avoided asking, "You sure you have the right student?"

I started dating what I thought was an amazing guy. He broke up with me for a litany of ridiculous reasons that made no sense. It was devastating. But then I found out that he and his sister play Lannister. And now I'm really glad that he is gone and I'm not in some weird incestuous love triangle.

On April Fool's Day, 7th grade I broke my arm during PE. The Phys Ed teacher laughed her @55 off. She thought it was funny. The school had a tough time getting a parent to pick me up. What made it worse, my sister had a broken leg. She was convinced I'd broke my arm on purpose, forcing me to do her chores for the same time I had my cast on...after it was removed.

My friend launched his entire weight into my body and knocked me onto asphalt. One hospital trip later and I have a fractured arm :/

2020, getting ready for my brother's first birthday party sometime during the summer. I was 11. I had to go in the basement to grab some things with my sister. I checked the time before I go in the basement, it was about 1:15 . I went into the basement for a good 15-20 minutes looking for the stuff. I came back out and checked the clock again, and I witness it change from 1:15 to 1:16. I think I experienced a glitch in time or something with that one, because I swear on everything that all happened.

I was working at the local county library as my retirement job (I was an Archaeologist for 20+ years.) I had developed several serious diseases that made it impossible to complete a week of work. My supervisor demanded a doctor's note, so I brought one in, and it made him furious. He was ex-military and turned on me, threatening to hurt me. I coward on the floor before managing to get outside and into my car. I drove away so fast, and I was not believed about the abusive attack even though I had witnesses. I have serious PTSD and was immediately able to get SSDI. I will never go into the library that I loved and worked at for ten years. People, even supposed friends, can turn on you at any time. I don't have any friends now because I prefer the company of my dear husband and our dogs.

Last year me and my friend went to the fair in my city and we went on a ride called the Freak out. It basically would go super high and spin around while swinging back and forth at a high speed. The third time we went on this one kid had a bag of marshmallows and for some reason brought it on the ride, and the ride started and one hit me in the face. It's not the mist ridiculous but who the hell would bring marshmallows on a ride???

I ran into three kids from my school on the same day in different places. The next day I run into two former teachers. What I going on?!

I was in the woods with my friends partying. I was walking down a trail when a glowing witch cackling came out of the woods in front of me. I was terrified! I immediately screamed, punched the witch and ran off. A few seconds later I realized 'it's not a witch. It's my friend's stupid halloween decoration that he scares me with sometimes!' We all laughed and there was some teasing for a few weeks. But, I have to say, I reacted well, even if it was just a prop haha.

I worked in a restaurant and I was sweeping up my section. I saw a table menu on the floor, so I bend down to pick it up and BAM! I slammed my eye right into the broom. Several people saw.
