So recently my mom had this medical alert thing, and if it falls, the alarm goes off. One day, I was just hanging out at the house and I hear this BIG BIANG on the door. I was like "fuck!" I get up and go to the door, open it, and there's like 10 big firefighters ready to slam through the door. I was like O_O. I turned around and hollered out, with concern, "Mom, are you ok?". And she was. It had just fallen and apparently they just sent them over. They were like -_-, and I was still like O_O.

Different memory. One time I was at this semi-fancy Italian restaurant. I had to go number two really bad. So, I go to the bathroom, I hang out in there for a while, take the meanest dump, and I'm kind of waiting for people to leave, just so I can wash my hands and leave. I think I'm in the clear. I walk out of the stall and I see THE WAITRESS in the mirror! She was fixing her hair. She smiled (and she was pretty too). I freaked the fuck out and ran straight out the restaurant. Turns out the names on the bathroom were written in Italian and I went boldly into the wrong one.

We get enough memories we can program some AI!

Haha, because they thought it was dirty, or the kid really got hurt?

I have a memory that every time I remember it it gets slightly changed so the more I revisit it the more I cant trust if it actually happened that way

I once saw someone walking their ferret.

I know the feeling. Still, I have a REALLY good memory, a blessing and a curse. Still, I know the feeling the way you described it.

when i was 10, some kid from the next block over was hit by a pitch in a little league game and died.

Jesus Christ! Anybody sign up for next year? When I was a boy I played little league until one time I got hit so hard in the leg while I was batting, I came to a realization that that could have been a lot worse and stopped playing. I was in 6th grade.

ya story was he got hit square on the head, fell down, and never regained consciousness.

of course kids signed up for next year, thinking it wouldn't happen to them

When I just started working at the place I'm at now, my coworker (who went on to become my current girlfriend) asked me if I had a pen she could borrow. She was handling a patient and needed them to sign a "proof of delivery" thing for the insurance. I thought nothing of it, gave her my pen, a really nice fountain pen, and walked back to my desk. A couple minutes pass and she's done with her line of patients so she just walks over to the back where the rest of us are gathered and working. We make small talk and a few seconds in I ask if I can have my pen back. She responded "What pen? OH. RIGHT. My bad, I uh, let someone walk out with it and without me noticing it." And now three years later we're dating and every time she asks me for a pen I ask her "You're not going to lose this one are you?" And she always covers her face in embarrassment. For the longest time she would even deny I ever let her borrow a pen that day, that I was just teasing her and making up nonsense and that "It's so weird you're always bringing up this fake pen, bro." Such an odd thing to stretch over the course of our relationship, but it's become our "thing" in a way.

Hehe, pretty cool. What kind of pen was it, like a Mont Blanc?

When I was in Kindergarten, a mentally disabled girl ate literal shit out of a toilet. In the boys restroom. And we all just watched before her special needs teacher walked in and stopped her.

The second time I drove with an official adult license. I reversed out of a parking spot and hit a car. I panicked, went back into the store, got my friend to get me out of that spot and park somewhere else. Later on my dad noticed the dent and I blamed it on a runaway shopping cart. He believed it <_<

im 17 out in the street shooting some hoops. a car flys by me, 2 secs later a cop flys by and miss judges a curve jumps the curb flips over and hits a utility pole. good times.

Holy shit!

There used to be a guy that would frequently walk his group of Llamas around town. He had about 4 of them and people could come out and pet them. It was always a nice surprise when a trip to the post office was met by 4 friendly Llamas.

That's really cool.

Really late night at Denny's with college friends.

Before we head back we notice a dumpster at the hotel next door. Sitting outside of said dumpster is two office chairs and what looks like a 20 foot long metal pole. For whatever reason, we take those with us.

To get back to the college we have to go up and over a grassy hill with an S shaped sidewalk going to the top.

A lightbulb goes off. Somebody goes and grabs two skateboards.

We then try, keyword try, to go down this S shaped sidewalk on a hill with 6 people, two office chairs, one 20 foot pole and two skateboard as one giant connected vehicle.

As you can probably imagine, it never ended well no matter how many times we did it. On one occassion is skiffed my hand pretty good on the sidewalk and started bleeding. People were like 'omg lets get you some bandaids!' And i said 'Pffft, the hell with that! To the top! Again!'

Still have that scar on my hand 14 years later

It was. I don't think I've seen him in about 25 years though. I wonder whatever became if him.

in stl for a wedding, getting ready at the hotel. notice a ton of older dudes with 80s style rocker shit on. dont think much about it, go to the wedding in the afternoon had a good time buts its dry so we head back to the hotel and go to the bar attached.
got a few bourbons in me and fam is just telling stories and shit and an older fellow at the bar joins in a bit just shooting the shit. after an hour or so and thru the small talk i realize its ace frehley from kiss.
he's in town for some festival and many of the bands are staying there.

he was real chill about it, seemed like a cool dude.

Went to an old library about to be demolished. Books a mess on the shelves, of course, but also all over the floor, making piles in some places. I wondered if all those books would even fit on the shelves. A dreamlike memory.

The other was my first serious girlfriend dripping like a damn syrup bottle and thinking "wow, hentai is real" lmao

The library sounds cool.

I was on the way home from my friend's and was waiting at a bus stop. It was raining by that point and I was just starring at the curb watching water flow down the street, and it looked like a very high quality resolution for some reason. Then I got on the bus.

I went into a Wendy's once when I was younger and a couple that ordered in front of me preceded to leave the store. I found out they had ordered food for me. Only it was one of those bigass burgers with the 3 patties in it. They wouldn't let me order something else (I guess they assumed I had no money or smth) and I was feeling awkward and patronized so I just took it and left.

You unlocked one of my memories.

Me and mom went to KFC to pick up dinner for the family. We were the only customers there at the time(small town, off hours). So when we placed our order some guy came out of the back and reached up underneath the shirt of the woman who took our order. She stood there getting her boobs groped for an uncomfortable amount of time. Then he went to the back to presumedly help fill our order...

Mom told another employee about it, and she said "it's fine, they're dating." So when we got home, mom called and filed a complaint to the manager. Told them that it happened in front of her and her son. They asked how old I was and when they found out I was an adult they said it was fine. Mom responded with "No, that makes it worse since he knew what was going on."

Anyway, that KFC closed down a few months later. Not due to us, but it just wasn't making any money.

i'm guessing he did cuz it always seemed to me that that would be where it happened.

but i am not sure it happened that way. i guess it could have happened on the basepaths too.

My senior year of high school my friend and I were leaving after academic bowl practice. We had this freshman on the team who was a tubby annoying kid who ran his mouth despite obviously not being able to back any of it up. Picture a combination Eric Cartman/internet tough guy a few years before either of those were a thing. Anyway before we got into my friend's car we saw this mentally handicapped guy who was always walking in our town. We told him that our "friend" would be walking home soon and is scared to walk alone and would really enjoy some company. So the guy did just that. We drove by a few times, seeing how uncomfortable the little punk was and pointing and laughing at him.

Now that I think about it it was completely immature and wrong to use someone like the guy for that reason. I don't feel bad for the kid though, he was a douche, and anyone here would've wanted to kick his ass.

When I was little we kids always looked forward to when it would snow, because then we would leave bowls out to catch the snow and my mom would make snow ice cream from it. I still remember how it tastes.

on a short visit to the US I tried out the much sought after hot pocket. I wont lie I savored each bite. Even though Im always eating at 5 restaurants.

The first car repair I performed was a taillight replacement. It went smoothly, except it took me like, 30 minutes to loosen this one rivet holding the casing on.

I was kissed by the lunch lady when I was in elementary school.

I was at my friend's house, we were both in kindergarten at the time, and we were in his and his brother's room. They lived with their aunt and cousin, and their cousin was a mean fat bitch. I mean like Big Daddy V from WWE fat. Anyway, she trained her mean little chihuahua to go and shit in their floor. Well my friend's little brother came running in the room barefoot, accidentally stepped on a wet dog turd, and proceeded to slide all the way across the room and slam into the wall whilst screaming "SHIT!" at the top of his lungs.
