(+) Yeah! (+)

Years ago, the alarm at work wasn't working so they asked me to stay overnight at the office. It is eerie, you start hearing footsteps and creaking and random noises. Eventually, the cleaning woman came around 10 pm so apparently the manager must have also asked her to stay overnight. Me and the cleaning woman were watching TV for a while and then I left.

I've been to Pakistan, I guess that counts as interesting, seeing as I'm an American woman lol.
---

Where do I begin? Been in a lot of accidents, many falls, many fights, many drunken falls to the floor. I've traveled all over the country too. Tons of trips to the hospital. Surgeries, physical rehabs... the list goes on.

I once jumped 110 feet in to a mineshaft that had filled with water, blew out both my knees and had to climb a mountain to get back to my car.

i had a "tv show" when i was a Jr. in HS. me and 5 buddies would film stuff and then hold parties Friday nights where kids from the nearby schools would come, they would be charged $1 for 2 15 minute episodes. then it typically turned into a party.

My ex-fianc and I broke up 2 days before a $50k wedding. My family had already flown from the US to attend the wedding. Instead, my mom had a big party at our house the day of the wedding.

One of my more interesting stories happened when I was 12-13 years old during the summer. We went to California to visit our aunt with her two toddlers, well call them Allen and Sophie. Play was long, tiring, but fun. Good times, right? Well, we were playing tag on the beach and I got Sophie while she was running. She asked Why did you tag me on the back? like it was some forbidden area and I was like \_()_/ before she went back to her mom.
This spiraled into a multitude of incidents over the days where shed get clingy and flirtatious during play when I stayed away during tag too long for instance. She randomly pulled down her pants going all like btw this is my underwear, now lets eat dinner! with her friend right there. Coming to my room in the middle of the night and knocking nonstop until I let her in and trying to pull down my pants with Allen(who seemed to just be doing it out of fun). All of which made me incredibly uncomfortable in my stay. I was creeped out and it felt incredibly wrong.

Surprisingly, my family believed me when I told them all this and my brother moved into the same room to help stall her and made sure to lock the doors. I told her mother and they presumably had a talk. No incidents since.

My fuck.... Where do I begin....

I've played jazz on the streets of NOLA with three of my buddies. We got $30 and only played one tune. (We didn't rehearse for it and just sort of made something up haha)

Climbed up and down a cliff using my bare hands and feet (no chalk, no ropes, no helmet). Going up was easy. Getting down was terrifying

I got my old Honda in and out of a ditch on a steep hill (about 55 incline) with an icy road (1/8" of ice). I had to go in reverse down the hill using gravity, got into the ditch, and then had to coax the stupid thing out. Fortunately the only damage (aside from my pride) was a small dent and some scuffed paint (I scraped against a tree on the way down haha)

I flew a plane.

My brother was a pilot. He took off and landed it, but while we was in the air I took control and flew the plane.
---

I woke up in the basement of a bar one time. It was daytime the next day and the bartender, instead of being mad, was dumbfounded over how I got there and offered me a ride home.

I've been to a decent amount of foreign countries and have spent a year in Korea. Loved all my travelling.

This one time I stayed in a homeless shelter based out of a church.

There were these two old dudes that sat together, and naturally I end up in the cot across from them.

And as I got settled, I saw they kept staring at me. Course I just needed to get out of the cold so i delt with it

Eventually they get up and go somewhere.

Theyre gone for like, an hour or something

Then I gotta go pee. Door was unlocked, so im good yeah?

And lo

There i found two old crusty naked homeless dudes just straight fuckin in a church bathroom.

Ive never stayed in another shelter in 2 years.

I have so many I could tell, but they're mostly all super depressing, I'll choose one a bit sillier.

At my last job, as an attendant at an interstate rest area, I worked the overnight shift. One night I step outside to check on things and see a guy on all fours digging around in the bushes. I ask if he's ok, and he gets up and starts demanding that I give him the mushrooms that were harvested in the bushes. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, but he kept insisting that I had taken all the mushrooms for myself and that I had to give them to him since it was public property.

Eventually I manage to convince him that I don't have them, so he keeps asking for a ride to the next town. I tell him I'd be fired for leaving during my shift, and he insists that its my responsibility to take him to the next town. That once my shift is over that he is going to be waiting in my car and I'll have to take him. By this point I'm getting really frustrated and creeped out by him, so I go inside.

Then he's banging on the door asking to use the microwave. He had somehow gotten a container of chicken from somewhere and wanted it heated. I reluctantly agreed, and while he was eating his chicken, he was telling me about the RV he lives in the mountains with his extraterrestrial friend. That his friend comes down from space where he lives with Jesus to spend time with this guy on Earth, and that the alien is by far the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen in his life and that one day he's going to go to space and meet Jesus himself.

The last time I saw him he was wandering off into the darkness of the unlit field next to the rest area. I thoroughly checked my car before leaving the next day.

I don't think mine are interesting per se, but here,

Back in the 90s, Keanu Reeves was in a band called DogStar, and just so happend to be performing near me, so having a crush on him, me and my friend excitedly went to see them - I just remember being near the stage and thinking "omg he's right there!" in awe kind of thing, music was not good but we didn't go for that, oh and the heel on my shoe broke while we were there too, I remember that and having to walk past camera crews on the way out as they were interviewing people who saw the show for the news, I expect I was seen scuttling away in the background on someone's tellybox lol

Robbie Williams (former Take That boyband member) once drove past me and my friends when we were on a trip in London and called out and waved to us like he knew us, that was kind of cool

oh and I'll say travelling too as others have mentioned that as well, so there

Today on the way home from work, I passed a homeless dude who asked for a dollar. I said what I always say when asked for money by homeless people... "I need it for the bus." I was playing pokemon go and didn't look up. As I passed him, he replied "And I need to get some beer" in a slightly disappointed voice. I had just bought a 15 pack of beer, basically one of those 12 pack WITH 3 BONUS BEERS!!!1! deals, so after a few steps, it occurred to me... I turned around and walked back and said "if you want beer, I have some, so I can give you one." He was all happy and of course asked for two >_>, yeah... but whatever, it was a sale and I was fine parting with one, so I was cool with parting with two.

Not that interesting of a story but recent and fairly short by my standards, not like other stories, like the one I accidentally broke a chair valued at more than 10 grand... and now I'm wondering if I've told that story here before... I know I've told a bunch, but not sure on that one.
